1st promo on the PS5 Pro! The PS5 Slim soon at a knockdown price

Rumors keep coming about a possible future price drop on the PS5, in its Slim and Digital Edition versions. According to several sources, including the specialized site Dealabs, Sony would have opted for a price reduction during the Black Friday 2024 period. The Japanese console could thus benefit from a promotion of around 75 euros compared to the current price. This offer would start very soon, on Friday November 22 and end on December 12. The date of November 22 is not insignificant since it corresponds to the Friday preceding the “real” day of Black Friday, scheduled for Friday November 29, 2024…But as always, promotions appear well before on the web!

Among the most sought-after products this year, the PlayStation 5, PS5 for short, should therefore be in good place. No more stock shortages, supply or delivery difficulties observed when the famous console was released in the midst of the Covid-19 epidemic. The Sony console is now well established in the hearts of gamers but many of them are still waiting to take the plunge.

Sony has just released the “Pro” version, announced at the start of the school year and available from November 7. The release of this new “boosted” opus could also and above all affect the prices of the “classic” PS5 with packs expected during Black Friday, the famous “bundles”. Surprise all the same with the first online promotions on the PS5 Pro from the start of November! Rakuten is therefore offering a 10 euro coupon, bringing the price of the console down to 789 euros. On the other hand, no miracles for those looking for an optical CD drive, which complements the PS5 Digital Edition and PS5 Pro which do not have one. These readers are very difficult to find at resellers with stock shortages and very high prices at independent resellers.

The PS5 is available in several versions: Standard, Slim and Pro. The Standard was the very first generation of PS5, followed by the Slim version (finally smaller) and the more powerful Pro version presented at the start of the 2024 school year. Each console therefore has its price. The Standard version is destined to disappear but should benefit from the last clearances which can be interesting during Black Friday. The cheapest PS5 console, however, remains the so-called “Digital” version which does not have a disc reader and which only allows you to play in a dematerialized version by downloading your games from the internet. This is also the case for the much more expensive PS5 Pro, which caused people to cringe at the release of this boosted console at a very “premium” price… Independent optical disk drives are also available. difficult to find.

What are the prices of the new PS5 Pro?

We should probably not expect very big promotions on the new PS5 Pro, released at the start of the 2024 school year. Merchants could, however, offer some packs and special offers, with accessories such as a 2nd controller included. The “official” price displayed is 799 euros.

What PS5 packs will be sold during Black Friday 2024?

Every year, Black Friday is also an opportunity to take advantage of special “packs” which combine the console and accessories: controllers and/or games. The games are often recently released opuses or safe bets. We regularly find packs allowing you to benefit from points or advantages (DLC) on the game Fortnite, very popular with teenagers. The most popular sports games like FC25 (formerly FIFA) or NBA 2K are also regularly offered in these packs. This year, nothing is official yet but the specialized site Dealabs is already announcing a possible pack with Fortnite points. These packs also allow you to benefit from more advantageous prices than purchasing separately.
