Early console & accessory values worth a look

• Console + PS Plus value bundle (US): GameStop’s PS5 (disc) + 24 months of PS Plus Premium for $579.99 (about $170 off list) remains one of the strongest value bundles ahead of Black Friday. The Verge
• Costco (US) ad special, starts Nov. 21:PS5 Slim (disc) + extra DualSense for $479.99 — a $120 savings on Costco’s listed price. Membership required. 9to5Toys
• DualSense Edge premium controller has already dipped to $179.99 at Walmart (‑$20). It’s a rare pre‑BF markdown on Sony’s pro pad. GamesRadar+
• PS5 SSD (2TB) deals: A frequently featured pick is the WD_Black SN850P 2TB around $184, a strong price for a heatsinked drive built for PS5. Tom’s Guide
• UK early bundle: Very/EE have cut prices on PS5 Slim and bundles (e.g., PS5 Slim Digital + EA Sports FC 26 at ~£429 listed by The Independent). Regional pricing and availability vary. The Independent

What to expect between now and Nov. 28

• Consoles: Due to 2025 U.S. price hikes (PS5 Disc ~$549.99, Digital ~$499.99, Pro announced as high as $749.99), deep base-hardware cuts may be modest; bundles (extra controller, game credits, services) will likely carry the best value. Look for at least $50 real savings to beat pre‑tariff levels. 9to5Toys
• PS Plus discounts: 2024’s PlayStation Black Friday cut up to 30% off annual PS Plus (and a leak suggests similar percentages with a likely Nov. 21 start). Renewals and tier upgrades may be included; details vary by region and are not yet confirmed for 2025. Engadget
• Accessories & storage: Expect aggressive pricing on controllers, headsets, and NVMe SSDs (1–2TB). Third‑party headsets like SteelSeries Nova 5 and Sony’s own pads typically see the biggest drops. GamesRadar+
• PlayStation Portal: With this week’s cloud streaming rollout for PS Plus Premium members, any Portal discount (even a small one) becomes more compelling for remote play. Some outlets speculate $10–$30 off around Black Friday, though that remains rumor. PlayStation.Blog

Should you buy now or wait?

• Buy now if:
  • You want digital game deals already at (or near) all‑time lows during the November Savings event. 9to5Toys
  • You value service bundles (e.g., PS5 + 24 months PS Plus Premium) more than a pure console price drop. The Verge
• Consider waiting until Nov. 21–28 if:
  • You want a brand‑new console bundle at a lower effective price (watch that rumored $450 PS5 Slim “Flowering Chaos” set). 9to5Toys
  • You’re targeting PS Plus annual discounts, traditionally the deepest of the year (pending 2025 confirmation). Engadget
