From Kratos and Spider-Man to Ellie and the blue hedgehog, you don’t get much more iconic than PlayStation. Every holiday season is another chance to snag some gaming discounts along with your cookies and eggnog. With console bundles, games, and other goodies getting deep discounts, it can be hard to know where to start. The Nerd Stash has got you covered with some of the best PS5 deals this Black Friday. Just don’t tell the Grinch or he might spoil a second holiday. The following are all the deals that are listed below:
- PlayStation PS5 Digital Edition – NBA 2K25 Bundle – $499.00
- PlayStation5 Pro Console – $699.99
- Samsung 980 PRO SSD – $178.00
- God of War Ragnarök Standard Edition – $39.99
- The Last of Us Part I – $45.99
PlayStation PS5 Digital Edition – NBA 2K25 Bundle
The PlayStation PS5 Digital Edition – NBA 2K25 Bundle comes with a DualSense Wireless Controller, a 1TB SSD, and the other essentials you need to get into the game. It’s also bundled with the Digital Edition of NBA 2K25. At $499.00, that’s a solid discount. If you (or the hoops fan in your life) haven’t snagged a PS5 already, this is one of the best bundles you’re likely to find. Although the release of the PS5 Pro means the console’s digital edition isn’t the newest kid on the block, it’s a great system with a powerhouse lineup of games. Time to brush up on your three-pointer this Black Friday.
PlayStation 5 Pro Console
The PlayStation 5 Pro Console is digital only, so there’s no physical media to worry about. This edition’s big selling point, however, is its technical superiority. Though it doesn’t tower over the standard PS5 in terms of performance, it does offer some notable bells and whistles. High frame rates, sharp images, and advanced ray tracing all contribute to your games looking their best. Whether you’re obsessed with horror game lighting or want the most impressive fireballs around, the Pro may be the way to go. As PlayStation’s shiniest new gizmo, the Pro likely won’t drop much for Black Friday but keep an eye out.
Samsung 980 PRO SSD
Even the most powerful hardware in the world won’t help you to game if you run out of storage. Introducing the Samsung 980 PRO SSD to solve your PS5 storage needs. This 2.5″ SSD is compatible with PS5 as well as PC, Mac, and laptops, so no more uprooting your favorite games all the time. That might be the closest we get to a Black Friday PS5 miracle.
With blockbusters like Black Ops 6 and Stalker 2 eating up dozens or even hundreds of gigs, having space for your collection matters now more than ever. $178.00 is a pretty price to pay, but if you do a lot of game hopping and hate the constant installations, the peace of mind might be worth it. Now you can keep the year’s biggest hits within reach at all times.
God of War Ragnarök Standard Edition
God of War Ragnarök Standard Edition is a great way to experience some of the finest moments in the saga of Kratos. Action games don’t get much prettier, more brutal, or more epic than this father-and-son tale of vengeance and divine retribution. Shredding through enemies with the Leviathan Axe and Blades of Chaos is arguably PS5 action at its best. The $39.99 price tag is about 33% off the usual price, and only the Ghost of Sparta usually delivers cuts like that. This is a great pick for fans of physical media who want to give Kratos another shot at breaking the gods.
The Last of Us Part I
The Last of Us Part I holds a top spot on many gamers’ “best of” lists, and it deserves to. The apocalypse that Joel and Ellie face isn’t your traditional zombie affair. Confronting these fungal horrors is terrifying, but it’s nothing compared to the emotional tumult after. $45.99 is a substantial cut from the $69.99 standard, so if you haven’t already given this gritty adventure a try, now’s the time. We’re going to need all the mycologists and gunslingers we can get. Just bring a box of tissues and maybe some chocolates for a pick-me-up when the waterworks begin.
