description: It's good news for gamers: PS5 offers the best deals on consoles, games and more all year round.
encoded: The PlayStation 5 undoubtedly sits at the top of many best gaming console lists, but that doesn't make it any less expensive. These days, there are several different types of PS5 to choose from in a range of prices. Digital-only PS5 consoles are cheaper, but only permit you to play games that are available online, meaning that physical games are entirely out of the question. The standard disc drive PS5 comes with a higher price tag, but you'll be able to play any physical game you desire. There is also now the PS5 Pro, first launched in November 2024 which boasts improved graphics, faster speeds and more storage. It also sits at £200 higher than its predecessor, but for gamers who truly want the best processing and power available, this is a dream come true. When it comes to PS5 deals, you're sure not to be disappointed. While there may not be a lot of reductions on the console itself, the good news is that there are plenty of bundle deals, as well as deals on DualSense controllers and accessories, and PS5 contract deals to help you save. We've rounded up both PS5 console deals and PS5 slim deals to give you plenty of choices. You can also save with these Xbox Series X deals and Meta Quest 3 deals. Plus, the LEGO Smart Bricks UK release date.

While Apple themselves aren't known for giving many Black Friday discounts (instead preferring to offer gift cards with purchase), that doesn't mean there won't be discounts on AirPods products from third party retailers. Whether you're after the flagship version of AirPods or AirPods Pro, or you'd rather find a discount on some of the earlier models, we're here to help you out.
