Since its release in 2017, the Nintendo Switch has been the number one Christmas gift idea for gamers, making it a seriously popular buy during Black Friday. In 2024, though, thanks to heavy discounts and the imminent announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2, the PS5 was the winning console of Black Friday.
The majority of the best PS5 deals went up in smoke after Cyber Monday… but Amazon‘s discounts are still going. PS5 owners can get in on the action, too, with big savings on the DualSense and DualSense Edge Controllers, Pulse Explore earbuds and Pulse Elite headset.
Right now, you can nab the digital edition PS5 for just AU$529, down from AU$679.95, which is a 22% discount that – barring one very limited time deal on eBay that brought it down to AU$498 – is only a few Dollars off the lowest prices we saw during Cyber Weekend. If you still like to buy games physically, The Good Guys is stocking the disc edition PS5 for AU$629, which is about as cheap as it’s ever been other than one eBay deal on sold a limited number for just AU$500.
If you’re already stocked console-wise, or a PS5 is already wrapped under the tree for the kiddies, Amazon is still the place to be. Sony increased the price of DualSense controllers back in September, and at full price one controller can set you back as much as AU$124 – which is why it’s so important to save when you can. You can save the most right now by taking AU$40 off the Galactic Purple model, but Cosmic Red, Gray Camouflage and Nova Pink are all discounted.
If you or a loved one games a little more seriously, you can also save big on the DualSense Edge. The PS5’s version of a pro controller, the Edge sets you back a whopping AU$339.95 at full price, but you can grab it for AU$288.15 to help you dominate Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
That’s not all, though. Whether you’re leading a team around the Warzone, infuriating your mate while playing NBA 2K25 or immersing yourself in a single-player experience, a good pair of headphones can make all the difference. Right now, Amazon is providing up to 25% off two of the best audio accessories the PS5 has to offer in the Pulse Elite wireless headset, and the Pulse Explore wireless earbuds.
