Sony has already slashed the price of three PlayStation 5 models for Black Friday. The PS5 Digital Edition (slim) is down to around $399 ($100 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. The standard PS5 (slim) is also on sale for around $449 ($100 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. If you want a more powerful console, the PlayStation 5 Pro is now available at Amazon, Walmart, and Target for around $649 ($100 off), matching its lowest price to date. These deals are available now, and the sale runs until December 18th.

These deals are particularly noteworthy because Sony raised the price of every PS5 console in late August due to U.S.-sanctioned tariffs.

The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition doesn’t come with a disc drive, but you can buy one separately if you later decide you want one. The console otherwise plays all of the same games as the version equipped with a disc drive.

The PS5 Digital Edition is the least expensive version of Sony’s latest console. It has a slightly rearranged port configuration compared to the standard PS5, and lacks a disc drive, so you can only play digital games. If you want the option to play physical games or Blu‑rays, you can pick up an external disc drive designed to work with the system for $79.99. The PS5 Digital Edition comes with 1TB of internal storage, but you can swap out its NVM M2.0 SSD with a higher capacity drive if you run out of room. However, the PS5 will only work with a drive that has a heatsink, like this variant of Samsung’s 2TB 980 Pro.

The standard PS5 Slim has the same basic design as the Digital Edition of the system, but has a built‑in disc drive, so it can play physical games or Blu‑rays right out of the box. The console is less expensive than the combined price of a PS5 Digital Edition and the PlayStation external disc drive, so it’s a better choice if you have a stack of PS5 games and movies ready to go.

The “Pro” version of Sony’s PlayStation 5 has a bigger GPU, new PSSR AI‑based upscaling, advanced ray tracing, and 2TB SSD (with expandable storage). The new features allow for better graphics at higher frame rates, allowing for the blending of “fidelity” and “performance” modes in some games.

As for the soup‑ed up PlayStation 5 Pro, it features a better GPU, faster memory, improved ray tracing, Wi‑Fi 7 support, and AI‑powered upscaling. These technical improvements allow it to play some games at higher resolutions or frame rates than a standard PS5, though no games are exclusive to it. Our reviewer didn’t notice a noticeable graphical improvement between playing a game on the PlayStation 5 and the PlayStation 5 Pro unless he sat closer than 10 feet away from his TV. Additionally, only “PS5 Pro Enhanced” games can take full advantage of the console’s additional horsepower.

The PS5 Pro also comes with 2TB of internal storage, which is double the amount you’ll find in non‑Pro versions. You can still swap out the system’s internal SSD for a higher capacity drive, but you may not need to as quickly.

Discounts on PS5 consoles are the main attraction of PlayStation’s Black Friday sale, but you can also score a discount on accessories. The selection includes the PlayStation Portal and a PlayStation VR 2 bundle, which are both at their lowest prices ever. The DualSense and the more premium DualSense Edge controllers are also on sale, with up to $30 off. These deals are also available until December 18th — or while they remain in stock.

PlayStation Portal is a handheld that allows you to stream games from your PS5 over the same network, or the cloud for certain titles if you have a PlayStation Premium Plus subscription. The Portal has an eight‑inch 1080p display with a 60 Hz refresh rate, serviceable built‑in speakers, and a long‑lasting battery. It also supports DualSense features, including haptic feedback and motion sensing.

Sony’s wireless PS5 controller has roughly the same button and joystick layout as the PS2’s gamepad, but with haptic sensors, a built‑in speaker, gyroscope, accelerometer, and touchpad for an even more immersive gameplay experience. The controller is also compatible with macOS and Windows, so you can use the wireless controller to play computer games.

Sony’s pro‑style controller, the DualSense Edge, might suffer from shorter battery life than the standard DualSense model, but it features great software integration with the PlayStation 5 and plenty of customizable components.

The Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds provide lossless, ultra‑low‑latency audio when connected to a PS5, and sounded very clear in our tests. They also support Sony’s 3D audio technology for a more immersive experience. When you’re done playing games, you can pair them to your phone or other devices over Bluetooth.

Sony’s PlayStation Pulse Elite is an over‑ear headset with a retractable boom mic. It’s designed to filter out background noise, deliver low latency and lossless audio, and work with the PlayStation Portal or the PlayStation 5, PC, and Mac via the PlayStation Link USB adapter.

The PSVR 2 offers PC‑quality VR on a console, and it’s currently bundled with one of its best games: Horizon: Call of the Mountain. The headset can run at up to 120 Hz with a resolution of 2000 × 2040 per eye, and has a pair of built‑in headphones — though you can plug your own into its 3.5 mm audio jack, or connect wireless headphones by plugging a wireless dongle into the PS5.

PDP’s Riffmaster is a wireless guitar accessory compatible with Rock Band 4 and Fortnite: Festival. It has two sets of color‑coded buttons you can press to hit notes as they appear on the screen, a built‑in 3.5 mm audio jack for connecting headphones, and an analog stick to help you easily navigate through each game’s menus.
