The wait is finally over. The preamble to Black Friday has seemingly been going on for months, but some of the biggest deals on PS4 bundles and consoles have become available as of Saturday 9 p.m. PT. Of course, some of the great deals this year is due, at least in part, to news that Sony and Microsoft have slated releases for the new PlayStation 5 and the next Xbox for 2020. But that is the better part of a year away, and we can be thankful for the bounty of low prices it’s throwing our way right now. With a nod to the earlier PS4 Black Friday deals roundup from our sister site GameSpot, let’s get to the good stuff.
First, some quick takeaways:
- PlayStation 4 Pro for $300 ($100 off its usual price)
- PS Gold Headset for $70 (Save $30)
- DualShock 4 wireless controllers for $40 (Save $25)
- 25% off PlayStation Plus yearly subscription
- $20 games — Days Gone, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Game of the Year Edition, MediEvil, Concrete Genie and MLB The Show 19
- PlayStation Hits for $10, down from $20
Now, let’s look at the console bundles in more detail.
Sony
If a PlayStation 4 fanboy was trying to convert you to the platform, he would probably list The Last of Us, God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn as three of the must-play games you should buy first. With this new bundle, all three of the PS4 exclusives are included. Suffice it to say, it’s an awesome trio of single-player games that will keep you occupied for months on end. Just keep in mind that — with the exception of the teen-rated Horizon Zero Dawn — these games are very much not for young kids.
