The original PS5 console can now be had at a knock-down price of £365.59 for Black Friday.
- Music Magpie on eBay
- Code BLACKFRIDAY20
- Now £365.59
That’s about half the price of a PS5 Pro, and this model comes with a disc drive to play all your physical games. You have to spend another £100 to mimic this function in the shiny new Pro model.
While the PS5 Pro might be able to push a few more fancy effects around, the original PS5 remains a fabulous machine. Our regular contributor and man in the US Chris Smith reviewed the console, and doled out a hugely positive score of 4.5 out of 5.
He was impressed with the console’s “immense power, nuanced SSD technology and 4K-capable graphics”, and that remains true to this day. You only need to take one look at recent first party release Astro Bot to see that there’s still bags of performance potential in the regular PS5.
The PS5 Pro really isn’t necessary to enjoy the current gen, and that point is driven home by this salient point: the killer feature of the PS5 – whichever model you opt for – is its controller.

Yes, the DualSense is a thing of absolute wonder. Its adaptive triggers provide tactile feedback and outright resistance depending on what’s happening on screen, and it takes the immersion factor to another level.
We’ve already touched upon another key feature of the PS5 that travels across models – the access to a fabulous library of exclusive first party titles. Thanks to its popularity, third party developers will make sure their PS5 version is ship shape, too.
Black Friday is very nearly here, but you won’t get a PS5 for any cheaper than this over the next few days.
