Perhaps you’ve seen our huge master list of all the best video game deals you can expect on Black Friday.
Here’s the thing: You probably shouldn’t wait until then. Sony has already let loose some serious deals on its PlayStation 4 game console, the PlayStation VRvirtual reality headset and lots of first-party games.
Unless you’re able to concoct a clever combination of deals that stack with — for instance — Target’s 15-percent-off-everything Cyber Monday offer, we’re not expecting prices to get much better, and we’ve already seen a few deals run out. The time to buy is now.
So: What’s there to buy?
PlayStation 4
Sony’s PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB is just $200 right now — $100 less than the retail price. Practically every retailer is honoring that price, including:
- GameStop
- Amazon
- Walmart
- Best Buy
- Target
- Newegg (currently sold out)
- Toys R Us
- Jet.com
Mind you, there are a couple of reasons you might want to wait at least a few hours. GameStop says it will throw in a $50 giftcard, and Kohl’s will offer $60 in Kohl’s Cash with your purchase. (GameStop deals start online at 10 p.m. PT Wednesday and in-store 4 p.m. Thursday, and Kohl’s opens on 5 p.m. Thursday.)
PlayStation 4 Pro
Sony’s souped-up, 4K TV-friendly PlayStation 4 Pro won’t be seriously discounted until Black Friday (when it’ll be $50 off at GameStop), but you can get a couple of free games thrown in for the normal price:
- $400 at eBay (with Star Wars Battlefront II and Final Fantasy XV) — try coupon code PSHOPAPP from inside the eBay app for an extra $15 off.
PlayStation VR
Sony’s virtual reality headset is also $100 off — and that applies to bundles that come with games and peripherals too.
Note: The $200 PSVR doesn’t include the PS Camera you’ll need to actually use it. $250-and-up bundles come with the Camera; $350 Skyrim bundles come with PS Move motion controllers as well.

- $250 PSVR w/ PS Camera, no games: Amazon
- $300 PSVR with Doom: Best Buy | Target

Peripherals
Need an extra controller? Sony’s PS4 controller, the DualShock 4, is now $40 practically everywhere they’re sold. That’s roughly $5-$20 cheaper than usual.
