There was a time when PlayStation 5s were simply hard to find, but surprisingly, Amazon just launched an early Black Friday discount on the most affordable edition. Right now, the PlayStation 5 Slim is marked down to just $424 (originally $499), and the PS5 Slim Digital Edition is just $374 (originally $449), which is a 15% discount on either of them.

Whether you opt for a disc drive or the all-digital PS5, it's the lowest price we've tracked. Considering the PS5 Pro just launched, it's not surprising to see a discount, but it's a tremendous savings that makes the affordable PS5s, and the ones that are easier to display, even more affordable.
It could also be a sign that more PlayStation discounts are in store for us as we officially hit Cyber Week. Plus, if you're a Prime member, you'll get fast, free shipping and you can start playing: Astro Bot, anyone? – even faster.
PS5 Slim Black Friday Deal
While the PlayStation 5 Slim and PS5 Slim Digital Edition are much smaller than the original PS5, there is no reduction in power. Suffice to say, you'll get a great gaming experience on any of these consoles, including smooth playback and impressive graphics… especially for optimized titles.
The real win here, especially with this offer, is a bigger bang for your buck, considering the instant 15% discount on both models. Plus, you'll have a much easier time finding a place for these next to, under, or near your TV. You also get the excellent DualSense controller in the box.
You can see TechRadar Gaming's full review of the PS5 here and why it got four and a half stars. However, if you want to get the PS5 at a discount, you'll need to act fast, as there's no telling how long this deal will last.
