Best PS4 Black Friday deals
PS4 1TB with Spider-Man Bundle: $200 (save $100)
Jason Parker/CNET
The PlayStation 4 is a great all-round console, Spider-Man is one of the best big-budget games released this year, and you can save $100 with this deal.
The link below is from Target and the image above is from Walmart, but it will also be available at Amazon, GameStop and other major retailers starting this Sunday, Nov. 18.
Sony PlayStation VR bundle with Creed and Superhot: $250 (save $100)
Sarah Tew/CNET
If you already own a PS4, this kit takes it to the next level with two great VR games — Creed: Rise to Glory and Superhot VR — as well as the two Move controllers for just $30 more than you’d normally pay for the base VR system alone. This bundle is widely available as of Sunday at Walmart (see below), Amazon, GameStop and Best Buy.
Save $100 on all PlayStation VR bundles, starting at $200
Sarah Tew/CNET
If you don’t care about those games, or the Move controllers, you can look for a variety of bundles at major retailers starting at $50 less. Titles include Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Firewall, and Creed: Rise to Glory, and retailers include Walmart (below) as well as GameStop and Best Buy.
PS4 Pro with Red Dead Redemption 2 for $400 ($60 off)
Target
The Spider-Man bundle above includes the entry-level PS4 unit. It’s great for the price, but if you want 4K gaming, you’ll want the step-up PS4 Pro model. That isn’t really discounted below its standard $400 price, but you can find it bundled with Red Dead Redemption 2 — one of the best games ever — at no extra charge. That’s effectively a $60 discount, and months of amazing (adult) gameplay. (We have to note, though, that the Xbox One X version of the game does look better.) This bundle is available everywhere, but already getting difficult to find.
