The leaks teased it, but Sony has now confirmed it: the PlayStation 4 will be under $200 for Black Friday week. Starting 19th November through 27th November, you’ll be able to snag a 1TB PS4 Slim for just $199.99, while PlayStation VR bundles will start at $299.99. This is all while stocks last, of course, so hopefully the platform holder’s got enough to go around.
For those looking specifically at PlayStation VR, it’s the Gran Turismo Sport bundle that will be $299.99, while the newly announced The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR bundle will cost you $349.99. DualShock 4 controllers will also be dropping to $39.99 at participating retailers, while PlayStation Plus members will be able to buy blockbusters at up to 40 per cent off from the PlayStation Store starting 17th November.
There’s no word on any PS4 Pro discounts at the time of typing, but we’re sure some will emerge as we get closer to the holidays. In the meantime, let us know whether any of these deals are tempting you in the comments section below.

@BLP_Software Nah. All three consoles are going to sell well this holiday IMO.
I want a PS4 pro this year...and yes I know that I've said that PS4 pro is a half step not worth trading a regular PS4 for! And I still stand by that idea...BUT I'm f***ing tired of the loud noise my launch day PS4 makes...omg, it drives me insane I think it's getting worse!
@BLP_Software Feel free to come back in a couple of months when all systems do exceptionally well. It doesn't really matter which one sells the most, because they're all going to move a lot of units.
my ps4 pro came yesterday so happy.right now.brand new.360$ word up son😇😆😀😍
@BLP_Software I agree that there is no way “all three” are going to do well. The Switch is a given. But then people will look at the Xbox or PS4 and choose one. And with this deal, you can have a 4K capable console AND VR. All for the price of a regularly priced Xbox One X. Sony has a winning combination on their hands.
@get2sammyb All 3 selling well is a cop-out, 2/3DS aside, how well do you think Slim and X1S sell compared to X1X and Pro? Switch will sell well enough on Zelda and Mario, maybe even portable Doom and Skyrim sell a few.
Personally I don't think Sony even wants to sell the Pro. Oh sure, they'll take your $400, but if they wanted it to sell they'd stop dropping the price on Slim. Just like the pic shows, they would rather people buy a Slim and PSVR, or just PSVR, than a Pro.
PS4 Slim, Switch, X1S, X1X, Pro - $ > power
@BLP_Software tbh the only way I see Switch failing to perform this winter is if there is a lack of stock to meet demand. Nintendo have struck an interesting little gap in the market and many people want a part of that. Months after choosing psvr over a switch I am still not entirely sure I made the right choice. I certainly will be getting one over a pro in the future.
@BLP_Software Nintendo ramped up the production to 25-30 million in 2018. They will be fine!
@rjejr They don't need to do anything with the PS4 Pro at this moment in time. It's still $100 cheaper than the alternative, it's never going to be as cheap as the PS4 Slim or Xbox One S thus it won't ever be a door buster, and it's ultimately an enthusiast product.
I think you see Xbox have a very good November between X1S sales and the X1X launch, but holidays have never been their problem. The problem is they crater through the rest of the year, and have had a horrible 10 months leading up to November.
I think you see PS4 perform consistently strongly around the world. It'll probably place "last" in NPD for November, but as always their worldwide sales picture will paint a very different tale as they'll do well everywhere, particularly in Europe.
And the Switch all depends on stocks, but it looks like it's going to have a barnstorming holiday in the States. Switch is a bit of a strange one for me because, while it is quite popular in the UK, it doesn't feel like there's anywhere near the same enthusiasm here as there appears to be in the USA.
That's how I see it anyway. Like I say, all three should have good holidays.
@BLP_Software Well they know more than I do, so we shall see. I'm curious about next year's line up as well. It doesn't interest me so far. Not an FE fan, and Yoshi and Kirby look identical to Woolly World and Return to Dreamland. And I don't think Pokemon or Metroid is 2018. Maybe a new IP? Retro's game? Pikmin 4?
I wonder if it’s a coincidence that you can buy a PS4 and PSVR combo for $500...
@Shepherd_Tallon Im holding out for a Metriod Edition. 😉
@Octane Not in 2018 wow thats the reason Im thinking about getting one.
@BLP_Software Wii and DS? Anyway, we're going off-topic.
@Flaming_Kaiser hm.. what? What do you mean?
@BLP_Software remember the Switch is in its infancy and already has two of the highest rated games of ALL time...
Alright guys, I know I played a part in the derail but let's not forget this thread is about PS4 and PSVR Black Friday deals.
@rjejr @get2sammyb @BLP_Software
The Switch was the number 1 hot present to buy your kids for xmas on the TV. Pachter reckons Switch will sell out of stock and most importantly everyone of my kids mates wants one.
Its also not unreasonable every company will do well as both a switch and proper console can be picked up for under £500 in the uk. Thats insanely good value when everything else is so expensive. (My son wanted a canadian goose coat for £800 as an example)
Back on topic and if psvr hits £250 with the camera im in.
@themcnoisy "My son wanted a canadian goose coat for £800 as an example"
Still cheaper than an iPhone X. Which will still outsell all consoles this holiday, probably combined.
@get2sammyb Well you've definitely given it some thought, so thanks.
So, getting back on topic, is it me or does 40% off the PlayStation Store seem...weak?
I really wish I could test PSVR. I would probably get one at that price if I could try it first and liked it.
@get2sammyb seriously & I'm ready to spend!
anyone looking for COD, rumor has it it'll be $40 on sale.
@AFCC I solved the problem spending € 20 for headphones. I hear that black jet on my table only during loading screen...
@andreoni79 I play mostly with phones but when I don't use them it's so annoying
@get2sammyb This shall be my year to finally own a PS4. I've already amassed a PS4 backlog of 65 games (only 17 are digital), which will surely increase to 80+ games by Christmas.

For some reason I always assumed I'd get a PS4 before @rjejr, but he proved me wrong by snatching one up last year.
