The Black Friday PlayStation 5 deal landing early this year feels like the kind of thing you double-check to make sure your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. Amazon Black Friday deals are already trickling in (just look at these Prime Video add-on deals), and somehow the PS5 Slim (normally $549.99) is sitting pretty at just $449.99. That's 18% off a console that hasn't been on sale since last holiday season. For anyone who's been waiting for a sign to upgrade, consider this the universe sending you a politely discounted nudge.

What makes this one sweeter is that the Slim actually earns its name. This is the sleek, whisper-thin PlayStation 5 that can slide perfectly next to your TV without looking like a small spacecraft landing on your media shelf. And sure, Grand Theft Auto VI may not show up until our next lifetime, but your current library will thank you for giving it hardware that doesn't sound like a jet engine warming up. Between the cleaner design, faster load times, this early deal hits the rare sweet spot of practical and irresistible.

And because nothing this good sticks around forever, it's worth remembering this sale is as temporary as your holiday shopping restraint. If you've been dying to level up your setup without torching your bank account, this might be your best bet.
