In case you missed it, all three PS5 models are steeply discounted until December 18th. The PS5 Digital Edition (slim) is still available from GameStop and Sony for around $399 ($100 off) — its lowest price of the year — while the standard PS5 (slim) is going for around $449 ($100 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. And if you want a more powerful console, the PS5 Pro is now available at Amazon, Target, and Walmart for around $649 ($100 off), matching its best price to date.PlayStation 5 Digital Edition (slim)$399$49920% off$399$400 at GameStop$399 at PlayStation DirectPlayStation 5 (slim)$449$55018% off$449$450 at Amazon$449 at Walmart$450 at Best BuyIf you’re wondering what the main differences are, the standard PS5 features a built-in disc drive, which the cheaper PS5 Digital Edition lacks. That means you can play physical games or Blu-rays without needing to spend an extra $79.99 on Sony’s external disc drive. Other than that, though, they’re pretty similar, with each offering 1TB of internal storage, which you can expand with a heatsink-equipped drive.PlayStation 5 Pro$649$74913% off$649$649 at Amazon$649 at Walmart$650 at TargetThe PS5 Pro, meanwhile, is for those who want the best console experience available. It steps things up with twice the storage (2TB), though, like the PS5 Digital Edition, it lacks an internal disc drive. Its most significant features are under the hood: a 62 percent faster GPU, improved ray tracing, Wi-Fi 7 support, and AI-powered upscaling. These all allow some games to run at higher frame rates so visuals look even better, particularly on “PS5 Pro Enhanced” titles. That said, the difference isn’t always dramatic in real-world play. Our reviewer only noticed real improvements when sitting within 10 feet of his TV, and only some games — Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in particular — ended up looking exceptionally crisp and defined.Read our PS5 Pro and PS5 slim reviews.Other PlayStation Black Friday dealsIn addition to consoles, Sony’s Black Friday sale also includes a range of great accessories, from the PlayStation Portal to the DualSense Edge controller.

Sony’s Black Friday 2025 promotions offer significant discounts on its PlayStation 5 consoles and related accessories, representing a notable opportunity for consumers to acquire these products at reduced prices. The core of the offer encompasses the standard PS5 (slim) and the PS5 Digital Edition (slim) consoles, both available at discounted rates. Specifically, the PS5 Digital Edition is still being offered for approximately $399 – its lowest price of the year – while the standard PS5 (slim) is currently priced around $449, a $100 reduction. Furthermore, Sony is also providing discounts on the PlayStation 5 Pro, now available at retailers like Amazon, Target, and Walmart for approximately $649, matching its best price to date. This represents a considerable savings for those seeking the most powerful console experience.

The differing features between the consoles are a key element of the offer. The standard PS5 retains a built-in disc drive, allowing users to play physical games or Blu-ray discs without requiring an additional $79.99 purchase for Sony’s external disc drive. Both the standard and Digital Edition consoles offer 1TB of internal storage, which can be expanded with a heat-sink equipped drive. However, the PS5 Pro distinguishes itself through more substantial specifications. It boasts twice the storage capacity at 2TB, and like the PS5 Digital Edition, lacks an internal disc drive. Its primary enhancements include a 62 percent faster GPU, improved ray tracing capabilities, Wi-Fi 7 support, and AI-powered upscaling. These improvements are designed to enable games to run at higher frame rates and deliver enhanced visuals, particularly in titles optimized for the PS5 Pro, such as *Final Fantasy VII Rebirth*. It’s important to note that the perceptible differences in performance aren't always dramatic in real-world gaming scenarios; the reviewer highlighted that improvements were most noticeable when sitting within 10 feet of a television.

Beyond the consoles themselves, Sony is offering a range of Black Friday accessories at discounted rates. The PlayStation Portal, a handheld device for streaming games from a PS5, is available for approximately $179, a $200 savings. The Portal features an 8-inch 1080p display with a 60Hz refresh rate, serviceable speakers, and a long-lasting battery, also supporting DualSense features like haptic feedback and motion sensing. The DualSense Controller remains a popular choice, currently priced at around $54, representing a $75 discount. It maintains the same button and joystick layout as the PS2’s gamepad, enhanced with haptic sensors, a built-in speaker, gyroscope, accelerometer, and touchpad. Other accessories, including the Sony DualSense Wireless Controller, Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds, and the PDP Riffmaster for PlayStation 5, are also available at reduced prices. Finally, one standout offer is a bundle featuring the PSVR2 and the *Horizon: Call of the Mountain* game, available for roughly $299—a $400 savings.

These deals underline Sony's strategy to move inventory and continue driving sales for its current generation of consoles, making them accessible to a wider consumer base.
