None of the 11 PS5 prices we track is cheaper than in early November yet. We'll flag real discounts here as soon as prices drop. How we check.
Black Friday PS5 deals on the PS5 Slim with disc drive, the PS5 Slim Digital Edition and the PS5 Pro, plus DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers, the PlayStation Portal and PlayStation VR2, from UK retailers. Each deal is compared with the lowest price we logged for it in early November.
Sony raised UK PS5 prices in April {year}, so a discount on the new list price can still leave a console costing more than it did a year ago. Our verdict ignores the "was" price and shows whether today's price is lower than in early November.
Check whether the console has a disc drive: the Digital Edition can only play downloaded games unless you add Sony's separate disc drive. The PS5 Pro also comes without a disc drive, so budget for one if you own physical games. Bundles are only good value if you want the game included. The PS5 Pro is aimed at players with a 4K TV who want higher frame rates and sharper graphics in supported games.
Console prices have risen rather than fallen in recent years, so waiting for a much bigger discount later is not a safe bet. If the model you want shows a "Real discount" verdict, that is a reasonable time to buy. Our how we check prices page explains how the verdicts are worked out.

See the saleSome are and some are not. We compare every deal with the lowest price we logged for it in early November. Look for the "Real discount" label in the tables above, which means the price is at least 5% below that reference. "Same as early Nov" means you could have paid about the same before the main sales started.
The Digital Edition is cheaper but only plays downloaded games unless you buy the separate disc drive. A disc drive lets you buy, borrow and resell physical games, which can save money over time. If you already own PS5 or PS4 game discs, the model with a disc drive is usually the better choice.
Mainly if you have a 4K TV and want higher frame rates and sharper graphics in games that support its enhancements. It costs considerably more than the standard PS5 and comes without a disc drive, so for many players, especially those with a smaller or 1080p TV, the standard model is better value.
We cannot promise it. Sony raised UK PS5 prices in April {year}, and any Black Friday cut depends on each retailer. If a retailer does lower the price, the tables above show whether it is at least 5% below what the console cost in early November, which earns a "Real discount" label.
There is no reliable rule. In {year}, Black Friday is on 27 November and Cyber Monday on 30 November. Some console deals run across the whole weekend, while others sell out or end early. Our verdicts compare every price with the same early-November reference, so you can check on either day whether a PS5 is genuinely cheaper.
Returns windows vary by retailer. Some extend them for purchases made in November and December so gifts can be returned in January, while others keep their standard period. Check the policy before you buy and keep the console unopened until you are sure. A faulty console is covered by your legal rights either way.
