I've been gaming on PlayStation consoles for almost 30 years, which makes me feel hideously old. One of my first (and fondest) memories was firing up that incredible T-Rex/manta ray demo desk in 1996. As a huge Jurassic Park fan, it blew my tiny mind. And with Black Friday week now upon us, this is the perfect time for this diehard PlayStation fan to share some of his favorite PS5 deals.

Both major US and UK retailers are slashing prices on PS5 consoles and PS5 bundles, and you can we've got you covered with a comprehensive list of the best Black Friday PS5 deals.

You can even nab nice discounts on the newly released PS5 Slim, with $60 savings on bundles that come with recent games like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

The original disc drive model of Sony's console has also seen its price drop in the UK — going for as little as £379 at Very. That's a sweet 67 quid saving, and one you should definitely get in on if you've been pining for a PS5 but its usual £450 listing price has been putting you off. 

Below, I'll guide you through some of my favorite Black Friday PS5 deals, which span discounts on both the launch model console and the PS5 Slim.

PS5 Slim Marvel's Spider-Man 2 bundle: was $559 now $499 @ Amazon

PS5 Slim Marvel's Spider-Man 2 bundle: was $559 now $499 @ Amazon
The new PS5 Slim doesn't seem to be discounted on its own in the States — it has just been released, after all —  but at least you can make a nice saving with this bundle, where you're essentially getting Insomniac's awesome Marvel's Spider-Man 2 thrown in for free. The Slim also has an advantage over the OG model in that it has 1TB of NVMe storage, rather than 825GB.

PS5 Slim Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 bundle: was $599 now $499 @ Walmart

PS5 Slim Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 bundle: was $599 now $499 @ Walmart
The latest Call of Duty only recently hit shelves so this bundle is a pretty good deal. The campaign wraps up the story this rebooted trilogy first started in 2019's Modern Warfare, but let's be honest: we're all here for the multiplayer and Warzone 2.0.

PS5 God of War Ragnarok bundle: was $577 now $449 @ Walmart

PS5 God of War Ragnarok bundle: was $577 now $449 @ Walmart
A great deal on the OG thicc PS5 disc model that comes bundled with God of War Ragnarök; one of the very best games on Sony's console. If you're not fussed about owning the new PS5 Slim, this is one of the best Black Friday PS5 deals around.

Act fast! The best Black Friday PS5 deal you can currently nab in the UK if you just want the console without a game. Very is undercutting every other retailer by a tenner. It's worth noting that this deal is for the 2020 launch model disc drive PS5 with 825GB of storage, not the new PS5 Slim.
