These PS5 Black Friday Bundles Are Perfect for Fortnite and NBA Fans
Sony may have just released the PlayStation 5 Pro , but at $700 it’s yet to see any deals on Black Friday, and that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. So it’s good that the much more affordable PS5 Slim models, originally released last year, are ready to pick up the slack.
Both the digital and disc editions of the console are sold at many retailers, although you should be careful when purchasing. While it’s clear that only the Disc Edition comes with a disc drive, you could also be missing out on a few potential benefits if you’re not careful, no matter which model you choose.
That’s because while Amazon and Best Buy sell the consoles themselves, there are also bundles that add some extra goodies at no extra cost.
Fortnite players will want to pick up the Fortnite Cobalt Star Bundle , which is available for both PS5 Slim models and includes 1,000 V-Bucks and some extra cosmetics (I’m sure someone younger than me will know if these are any good, but hey, they worth it considering the stunning free price). Meanwhile, sports fans can get the PS5 Slim Digital Edition with a copy of NBA 2K25 straight to PlayStation for the same price. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be an NBA package for the disc drive model, and additional disc drives are not currently available for sale.
All of the PS5 Slim bundles listed here come with a white console and one DualSense controller, and if you so choose, you can also save on a PSVR 2 right now , which will take your new console to a whole new level. game type. Overall, these deals knock about $75 off the price of the PS5, putting it within spitting distance of the typical (non-sale) price of the much less powerful OLED Nintendo Switch .
