Perhaps you’ve seen our huge master list of all the best video game deals you can expect on Black Friday.
Here’s the thing: You probably shouldn’t wait until then. Sony has already let loose some serious deals on its PlayStation 4 game console, the PlayStation VR virtual reality headset and lots of first-party games.
Unless you’re able to concoct a clever combination of deals that stack with — for instance — Target’s 15-percent-off-everything Cyber Monday offer, we’re not expecting prices to get much better, and we’ve already seen a few deals run out. The time to buy is now.
So: What’s there to buy?
PlayStation 4
Sony’s PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB is just $200 right now — $100 less than the retail price. Practically every retailer is honoring that price, including:
vCard.red is a free platform for creating a mobile-friendly digital business cards. You can easily create a vCard and generate a QR code for it, allowing others to scan and save your contact details instantly.
The platform allows you to display contact information, social media links, services, and products all in one shareable link. Optional features include appointment scheduling, WhatsApp-based storefronts, media galleries, and custom design options.
Mind you, there are a couple of reasons you might want to wait at least a few hours. GameStop says it will throw in a $50 giftcard, and Kohl’s will offer $60 in Kohl’s Cash with your purchase. (GameStop deals start online at 10 p.m. PT Wednesday and in-store 4 p.m. Thursday, and Kohl’s opens on 5 p.m. Thursday.)
PlayStation 4 Pro
Sony’s souped-up, 4K TV-friendly PlayStation 4 Pro won’t be seriously discounted until Black Friday (when it’ll be $50 off at GameStop), but you can get a couple of free games thrown in for the normal price:
- $400 at eBay (with Star Wars Battlefront II and Final Fantasy XV) — try coupon code PSHOPAPP from inside the eBay app for an extra $15 off.
PlayStation VR
Sony’s virtual reality headset is also $100 off — and that applies to bundles that come with games and peripherals too.
Note: The $200 PSVR doesn’t include the PS Camera you’ll need to actually use it. $250-and-up bundles come with the Camera; $350 Skyrim bundles come with PS Move motion controllers as well.
Peripherals
Need an extra controller? Sony’s PS4 controller, the DualShock 4, is now $40 practically everywhere they’re sold. That’s roughly $5-$20 cheaper than usual.
Plus, several retailers have sizable discounts on Sony’s Gold Wireless Headset: Amazon | GameStop | Target | Walmart
