Sony just fired the starting gun on Black Friday 2025: Starting November 21 (this Friday), the PS5 Slim is dropping $100 across both disc and digital editions—the deepest official cut we’ve ever seen from Sony itself. That’s the standard PS5 Slim Disc at $399.99 (down from $499.99) and the Digital Edition at $349.99 (down from $449.99).
Bundles are getting the same love, with retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop matching—and throwing in extras like DualSense controllers or games for free. As bundles fly off shelves faster than a speedrun world record, here are 5 epic deals you need to lock in before the November 28 chaos peaks in the technology category.
1. PS5 Slim Disc Edition: $100 Off → $399.99 (Lowest Official Price Ever)
The king of consoles just got crowned budget royalty. This is the disc-drive version with 1TB SSD, 4K Blu-ray, and that gorgeous Astro’s Playroom pre-loaded.
Deal breakdown:
- Sony direct / PlayStation Direct: $399.99
- Best Buy / Walmart / Target: $399.99 + free $75 gift card (effectively $324.99)
- Amazon: $399.99 with Prime 1-day shipping
Why pounce: This beats even 2024’s $75 holiday cut—perfect timing before GTA VI hype in 2026. X is exploding: “PS5 at $400 official? Sony’s finally feeling the heat.”
Pro tip: Grab the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 bundle at the same $399.99—game worth $70 included.
2. PS5 Slim Digital Edition: $100 Off → $349.99 (All-Time Low)
No disc drive, pure digital bliss—and now cheaper than ever. Ideal for Game Pass-style gamers who live in the PS Store ecosystem.
Hot spots:
- PlayStation Direct: $349.99
- Walmart: $349.99 + free $50 gift card
- Amazon: $349.99 (stock refreshing hourly)
Reality check: This is $50 cheaper than any previous sale—making the disc-drive add-on ($79.99) a no-brainer if you snag both for under $430 total.
X verdict: “Digital PS5 at $350? My backlog just got dangerous.”
3. PS5 Pro: Rare $50 Off + Free Game at Select Retailers
Sony’s 4K/120fps monster (the $699 PS5 Pro) isn’t getting the full $100 cut—but savvy bundles are delivering effective $150+ savings.
Best stacks:
- Best Buy: $699 + free Astro Bot ($60 value)
- GameStop: $699 + $100 trade-in bonus on old PS5 (many walking away at $550)
- Target Circle Week overlap: $699 + 5% RedCard discount = $664
Why it matters: PS5 Pro stock has been tight since launch—Black Friday’s the first real discount window. TechRadar calls it “the closest we’ll get to a Pro price drop in 2025.”
4. DualSense Controllers: $54 All Colors (Including Chroma Teal!)
Sony’s haptic kings are hitting $54 across the board—$20 off—with rare colors like Chroma Teal, Volcanic Red, and Sterling Silver included.
Deal map:
- Amazon / Walmart: $54 (all 20+ colors)
- Best Buy: Buy 2, get $10 gift card
- PlayStation Direct: $54 + free Cosmic Red Edge controller with PS5 bundle
Stock alert: Chroma collection sold out in hours last year—move fast.
X hype: “Chroma Teal DualSense at $54? My setup’s about to be dripped out.”
5. PS5 Games Blowout: $10–$30 Classics + Free PS+ Trials
Sony’s first-party fire sale is live:
| Game | Normal Price | BF Price | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| God of War Ragnarök | $69.99 | $29.99 | $40 |
| The Last of Us Part I | $69.99 | $29.99 | $40 |

Bonus: PlayStation Direct bundles any PS5 with 2 free games from a select list (including Returnal and Demon’s Souls).
PS+ perk: New subscribers get 30-day PS+ Premium free with console purchase—stream 400+ games day one.
