PS5 Holiday Discounts Are Sticking Around
Sony and major retailers in the US, including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop, are keeping PS5 discounts rolling through the 2024 holiday season instead of ending them with Black Friday weekend. Current promos generally put the PS5 Slim disc model around $399.99, the PS5 Digital Edition near $349.99, and official bundles like PS5 + Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 or PS5 + Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 roughly $50–$100 under their usual pricing where advertised.

Most listings and ads frame these as holiday offers running into early December or “while supplies last,” but stock looks far healthier than the launch years, with both disc and digital Slim models widely available online and in-store. That gives shoppers a longer window to decide between a cheaper base console or a discounted bundle instead of panic-buying on one weekend. If you’re still weighing the hardware itself, our recent breakdown of the PS5 Slim and why it’s easier to find now is a good quick refresher on what’s changed.
These extended discounts also line up with broader seasonal promos on games and accessories, so it’s easier to build a full setup without paying launch-era prices.

Key PS5 Deals, Bundles, and Extras
The headline offers are straightforward: PS5 Slim disc consoles hovering around $399.99, PS5 Digital Edition near $349.99, and official bundles like PS5 + Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, PS5 + Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, or PS5 + EA Sports FC 25 typically landing $50–$100 below their usual bundle MSRP. Retailers are rotating which bundle is cheapest, but the pattern is clear: you’re paying close to the discounted console price and getting a recent game folded in.
On top of that, some stores are layering in extras such as limited-time gift cards, bonus digital games, or occasional controller discounts when you buy a console, sometimes locked behind memberships like Amazon Prime, Walmart+, or specific Best Buy tiers. Around these console promos, there are parallel deals on DualSense controllers, first- and third-party PS5 headsets, and NVMe SSDs that make expanding storage cheaper than it was even a year ago. PS Plus subscription discounts are also slotted into Cyber Monday and December windows, which helps cut the ongoing cost of actually using the hardware once you bring it home.
Why These Longer PS5 Discounts Matter
Keeping these prices active well past Black Friday means anyone who skipped or missed the weekend rush still has multiple chances to grab a PS5 at or near the lowest prices of the year, often with better bundle value than the early-console years ever offered. Instead of a single high-pressure buying window, you get time to compare which bundle actually fits your library and whether you want disc flexibility or the cheaper digital box.
Because inventory is stable and the discounts are clearly framed as holiday-long offers, it’s easier to wait for restocks, track price drops on accessories, and avoid impulse buys that don’t match how you actually play. In practical terms, this stretches the upgrade window for anyone moving from PS4 or another system, cutting the pressure to buy on one weekend and making it simpler to line up a console purchase with the rest of a holiday budget.
