A PS5 controller very dear to me has been discounted for Black Friday and I love that it has – it could help loads more gamers get into and enjoy PS5 gaming as a result.
The PlayStation Acces Controller has received a chunky discount for Black Friday which means that Sony’s hardware aimed at increasing inclusivity and removing barriers to play is more accessible than ever. As somewhat the target audience for this controller – I have different hands and digits to normal folk – this is a personal, but I think very important little deal among the many this Black Friday.
The discount is only in the UK by the looks of it – I think the US one has either passed or stopped (for now) – but this is still absolutely worth highlighting for folks like me.

Back to the deals!
If you’ve been waiting for the excellent Pulse Explore earbuds to go on sale to team with your PS5 or PlayStation Portal then now is the best time to commit as we’re seeing record-low prices on both sides of the Atlantic for the planar-magnetic driver-driven buds.
US – PlayStation Pulse Explore earbuds: was $199.99 now $169.99 at Amazon US
UK – PlayStation Pulse Explore earbuds: was £182.87 now £149 at Amazon UK
A tip for today
One thing I often get asked in the week of Black Friday, particular on the couple of days before the big day itself it ‘should I wait for Friday or buy [This Thing] now?’
While we might see a flurry of new deals appear on Black Friday itself, nowadays – with retailers trying to get you to spend with them earlier and earlier – the deals we see right now are going to be Black Friday prices.
As a result, if you see something today that we highlight or through one of the links above then I say absolutely go for it right now. The current price being the sales price works in your favor, but so do retailer price guarantees – promises from retailers that,. should the price drop further after you’ve bought a product, they’ll refund the difference.
All in, now is a great time to strike on a Black Friday PS5 deal!
However, another bundle might be attractive at Very…
But if you’re looking to ensure you can get the Pro and a disc drive right now in the UK, then Very is the best place to head to with the retailer offering a bundle that bags you the two together.
It was once a pre-order but now the retailer says this package is in stock and ready to go right now which is excellent news – and does hint at a restock of the disc drive too. It only saves you a couple of quid compared to the combined price of both things, but if getting a Pro and the disc drive together is the most important thing then this is the way to go.
PS5 Pro + disc drive: £798 at Very
There’s no better place to start our roundup – especially in the UK morning hours – with the excellent PS5 Pro discount that appeared and has remained so soon after the new console came out.
The discount over at EE is great for two reasons. First, it’s a solid discount of 41 quid off the retail price of the console, but the shop is also offering an attractive trade-in offer that could see you bag up to £260 for your old console (a trade-in value that’s then boosted by a code emailed to you).
This would take your cash outlay on a new PS5 Pro down to £399 which is pretty attractive if you were thinking of upgrading and definitely cements this as the best route to maximizing the value on a PS5 Pro in the UK.
PS5 Pro: was £699.99 now £659.99 at EE
