PS5 Slim hits lowest price yet in UK Black Friday sales
Last year saw the PS5 reduced to its lowest-ever price, but will the same happen again?
So far November has been a mammoth month for PlayStation gamers as, not only is the PS5 Pro now on sale but Black Friday is also back; bringing with it a whole new wave of deals, bundles, and free perks.
Last year, we saw the PS5 drop to its lowest price yet, reducing by £90 in the run up to Black Friday itself. This was for the original PS5 ahead of the release of the PS5 Slim.
Despite the original console being discontinued, we now find ourselves in a similar situation, with a new console out and deals already popping up on the older PS5 Slim model.
Right now, there is currently a £24 saving on the PS5 Slim itself, as well as a tonne of bundles to shout about, including some centred around the year's biggest games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and EA Sports FC 25. Plus, huge savings have popped up for the PS5 Controllers.
We can't be sure if any bigger and better deals will pop up for the Slim, so for now, here's everything we know so far about the current offers. Plus, don't forget to look at our guide to will there be a PS5 Pro Black Friday discount?

How much will the PS5 Slim be for Black Friday 2024?
You can never be sure that big consoles like the PS5 will actually go down in price during the Black Friday period. But luckily, we're already seeing some encouraging signs.
The PS5 Slim is currently available for £24 off at Amazon. This is hopefully just a taster for more deals to come as we're still a week away from Black Friday itself.

Where to buy the PS5 Slim for Black Friday 2024 in the UK
Right now, the lowest price for the PS5 Slim can be found at Amazon and Very, for £24 off.
We haven't seen any discounts pop up from PlayStation itself yet. This could mean one of two things: one, they're putting all their efforts into the release of the PS5 Pro, or two, they're staying quiet before launching a brilliant deal.

Is it worth getting the PS5 Slim this Black Friday?
Yes. We think Black Friday is definitely the time to snap up the PS5 Slim. Even if the console doesn't receive the same £90 discount as last year, there are bound to be decent bundles and savings to take advantage of.
Unless you badly want the PS5 Pro, with its improvements to graphics and ray tracing, then the PS5 Slim is still a worthy choice.
As our Gaming Editor Rob Leane put it: "We're still a few years off the PS6 and we’re getting to the point in the cycle where most games aren’t available on PS4.
"So, unless you’re the type of person who can really tell the difference between frame rates or how many micropixels there are on the screen, the PS5 standard console will do the job."
