BLACK FRIDAY NEW PS5 DEALS TODAY
- 08:00: For the moment, no restocking of the Playstation 5 this Tuesday
THE BUSINESS OF THE DAY
This is one of the most recent big releases that sees its price drastically dropped today. Sonic Frontiers, the new creation from SEGA is offered at €29.90 at Amazon on Playstation 5. A boon for all those who wanted to discover this new adventure of the blue hedgehog, in a 3D title and in an open world which contrasts drastically with the latest Sonic games. It must be said that the young rodent is not so much anymore, having celebrated his thirtieth birthday less than a year ago. A celebration that encouraged SEGA to offer us something different with Sonic Frontiers.
Promotions for PS5 games are numerous during this Black Friday 2022. Today, FIFA 23 is the star on Amazon, the EA title being offered at 45 € instead of 70 €. A good reason to finally get into this popular football simulation, having brought us the Hypermotion 2 motion-capture system and the new World Cup 2022 competition. In addition, the game gives pride of place to women’s football, a a significant step forward which salutes the talent of athletes like Sam Kerr, co-muse of FIFA 23 with Kylian Mbappé.
Black Friday second-hand PS5 deals
What will be the best deals on the PS5 during Black Friday?
Will the PS5 be at CDiscount for Black Friday?
If you want information worth its weight in gold on the Playstation 5 market lately, CDiscount is by far the French retailer to offer PS5 consoles most regularly. With a solid average of one restocking per week, the e-commerce site remains the best option to watch out for if you finally want to get the precious sesame to the next-gen. Be careful though, the Sony console is only very rarely offered alone, but rather in packs also including games and accessories. These packs can sometimes reach relatively high prices.
Will the PS5 be at Micromania for Black Friday?
At Micromania, we can’t boast of putting many PS5 consoles on sale lately. The video game retailer has not put the console back on sale for a few weeks, a rare but logical fact given the shortages still raging in the home console market and the approach of Black Friday 2022. indeed, it could be that Micromania reserves its stocks for such an occasion, it will therefore be necessary to closely monitor the e-commerce site. As a reminder, on Micromania, you have the option to add the PS5 to your wishlist, allowing you to buy it more easily the day it is back in stock.
Why will there be few stocks in 2022?
As since its release exactly two years ago, the Playstation 5 is still the victim of major stock shortages. This phenomenon is largely due to the consequences of the Coronavirus pandemic on the production of semiconductor metals in Southeast Asia. Essential for the manufacture of electronic chips, this raw material has been lacking since production interruptions during the pandemic, directly impacting Sony’s production lines. Add to that the great popularity of Playstations in France and you will have a pretty bad cocktail for the sale of PS5.
What are the PS5 prices for Black Friday?
Some lucky people have been able to get their PS5 in recent days during short event operations orchestrated by Veepee, Carrefour or Micromania. Others ran into sites that were stormed and quickly planted. Bugs, delays, sites out of service… Complaints from gamers have been numerous, as well as criticism towards those who then resell the PS5 at an inflated price. Even after Black Friday, we can also find PS5 consoles on market places at prices much higher than the official price. Sometimes count up to 1000 euros for a console usually sold for 549 euros, far from the “good deal” advocated by Black Friday. But in these times of crisis and supply problems, there is no doubt that these rare consoles will quickly find takers…
Will the PS4 be sold off during Black Friday?
The PS5 is still struggling to find a place on the shelves of retailers, the fault of a shortage of microcomponents which affects the market for electronic chips. The production of the latest next-gen console is therefore slowed down, which benefits its eldest, the PS4, which can boast of still holding up technically despite its age (released in 2013). Moreover, this status quo in the evolution of home consoles also forces studios to create cross-generation games, compatible with both the PS5 and the PS4. Suffice to say that the Playstation 4 games catalog is still busy.
However, if you did decide to buy a PS4, there are a few caveats to consider. Indeed, the best model, the PlayStation 4 Pro, is no longer in production, so you may end up paying more if you find it in stores.
The PS4 version valid on the market and potentially in reduction will be the PS4 Slim. It should be noted that its resolution is limited to 1080p, so you will not be able to benefit from the 4K format. On the other hand, there is no denying that several PS4 exclusive games are worth trying and could be worth getting the console. Some of these famous titles include, God of War: Ragnarök, Bloodborne, Persona 5, FIFA 23…
Black Friday is often the occasion to take advantage of big discounts on the various subscription offers. Gaming is one of them with regular promotions on the PlayStation Plus subscription which notably allows you to play online but also to access different services depending on your level of subscription, such as a catalog of games, access to cloud gaming for games from every generation of Playstation.
