Black Friday: Sony takes $100 off PS5 consoles — deals across the lineup
Sony has discounted all PlayStation 5 models for Black Friday: $100 off each console. The PS5 Digital Edition is now $399, the standard PS5 is $449 and the PS5 Pro drops to $649. These are some of the best prices we’ve seen this year and are available at Sony and major retailers like Amazon and Walmart.
The core differences between models remain the same: the standard PS5 includes a 4K UHD disc drive while the Digital Edition relies exclusively on downloads. The PS5 Pro offers higher performance, enhanced ray tracing and improved cooling for demanding titles and is a rare target for a $100 reduction.
Why this matters
- Value opportunity: A straight $100 discount makes entry or an upgrade more affordable, especially with holiday bundles and retailer offers.
- Performance tiers: Choose Digital for a lower price and all‑digital library, Standard for physical media support, or Pro for the best graphics and ray tracing enhancements.
- Accessories on sale: Useful add‑ons are discounted too — DualSense controllers, DualSense Edge and the PlayStation Portal are among the deals to watch.
Notable accessory prices
- DualSense wireless controller — $55 (multiple colors)
- DualSense Edge (premium) — $169
- PlayStation Portal (remote player) — $179
Buying tips
- Compare bundles vs. standalone consoles — a bundle that includes a game you want can be better value than just the discounted console.
- Confirm stock and shipping dates — consoles are highly sought during Black Friday and limited bundles can sell out fast.
- Decide if a disc drive matters for your games and secondary market usage before choosing the Digital Edition.
