The PlayStation 5 has been around for going on five years, and Sony’s system shows no sign of slowing down. In that time, we’ve had exclusives like Spider-Man 2, Ghost of Yotei, and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Plus, with Marvel’s Wolverine slated for 2026, there’s plenty more to look forward to.
And, thanks to Amazon’s Black Friday deals, you can save $100 on a PS5 just in time for Christmas. My favorite pick is currently the PS5 NBA 2K26 Bundle, now $449.99.
As it includes a free game in NBA 2K26, you’re getting another $70 in value (or $30 in the sales), so this is arguably the best console deal in the sale.
Save $100 On A PS5 for Black Friday
At Amazon, you can snap up a PS5 Slim with a disc drive for playing physical games and media for $449, or a Digital Edition for $399. That includes the new Black Friday Fortnite bundles, as well.
There’s also $100 off the PS5 Pro, which uses PSSR upscaling for enhanced resolution without sacrificing frame rate, and it has advanced ray tracing in supported games, as well as a 2TB internal SSD. The console is down to $649.
While Microsoft puts its games just about anywhere, Sony still has plenty of franchises it’s keeping for itself (and for PC gamers via Steam). From Marvel’s Spider-Man to God of War, these are games you won’t find on another console, making PS5 easy to recommend for players who are interested in a whole multitude of genres and IP.
With the PS5 being slimmed down, we gave the hardware 8 out of 10 in our review, with Jada Griffin saying, “In 2023, the slimmed-down PlayStation 5 maintains all of its strengths. Extremely fast loading times and a best-in-class controller make it a pleasure to use.”
The PS5 Pro, on the other hand, got a 7 out of 10 from Michael Higham. Michael said, “The PlayStation 5 Pro is an impressive console with noticeable boosts in performance and graphics for games that take advantage of its powerful hardware.”
“But for $700, you’ll need to think twice about whether or not the upgrade is worth the price tag.”
Given that you can save $100, that might make the price easier to manage.
