I've been tracking PS5 Black Friday deals since launch — here's the best sales I'd buy

This amazing PS5 Black Friday deal gets you the latest slimmed-down PS5 model, a DualSense controller. As we said in our PS5 Slim review, this is a great upgrade from the original model. This is the lowest we've seen the console go for. Considering this is a limited-time deal, you'll want to act fast.

But digital might not be for, which is where the PS5 disc version comes into play. With the PS5 Slim disc edition, all the best features are still there, but you won't be locked into Sony's digital pricing. Play all your favorite games, even your physical collection, with the PS5 Slim that's built for unbridled gaming.

The PS5 Pro is the most powerful PlayStation console ever made. It plays all the same games as the regular PS5 but can offer increased image quality and higher frame rate with supported titles. It's the ideal console for players who want the best performance levels but Pro comes at a high price.

It's always a good idea to have a second controller if the one you're using needs to charge or if you have company over. To that end, I recommend buying another PS5 DualSense. This all-arounder is perfect for just about any genre and is arguably the best PlayStation controller yet.

If the full-price release of The Last Of Us Part 1 put you off the idea of retracing Ellie and Joel's steps in this gorgeous remake of one of PlayStation's most well-known titles, now's your chance to pick it up.

Long before Elden Ring, Bloodborne and Dark Souls, From Software released Demon's Souls, the first Souls' title to truly establish the core gameplay loop that has taken the gaming world by storm.
