PS5 Black Friday 2024: Amazon Deals – What to Expect & How to Score One!

Hey everyone! So, Black Friday 2024 is looming, and you know what that means? The hunt for a PS5 is ON! Seriously, last year was CRAZY. I spent hours refreshing Amazon, only to see the "Add to Cart" button disappear faster than a slice of pizza at a party. It was brutal. This year? I'm prepping way earlier. And I'm sharing my hard-won wisdom with you, my friends. Because let's be real, getting a PS5 on Black Friday from Amazon is like winning a golden ticket to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory – except instead of chocolate, it's epic gaming.

My Black Friday PS5 Debacle (and What I Learned)

Last year, I was so confident. I thought, "Piece of cake! I'll just snag a PS5 on Black Friday morning." Ha! Famous last words. I woke up at the crack of dawn, fueled by coffee and sheer determination. I had my Amazon page bookmarked, my credit card ready...and then BAM! Sold out. In, like, seconds. I felt like I'd been robbed! Devastated. Seriously, it was a low point.

But, I learned a thing or two from my epic fail. And those lessons are gold. Trust me.

Key Takeaways from My PS5 Black Friday Fail:

• Preparation is KEY: Don't just think about it; plan it. Make a checklist: have your payment info ready, know your desired bundle (if any), and have multiple browsers open. Seriously, multiple browsers. It helps sometimes!
• Set up alerts: Amazon's got those nifty email and app alerts. Use 'em! You'll get notified as soon as the PS5 goes live. This is a game-changer.
• Be flexible: Last year, they had the PS5 Digital Edition and the standard console. If the standard is sold out, maybe a Digital Edition will be available? Flexibility is your friend here.
• Check other retailers: Don't put all your eggs in one basket (or, in this case, one Amazon cart). Look at other big names like Best Buy or Walmart.

What to Expect from Amazon on Black Friday 2024

Amazon is usually a major player in Black Friday PS5 deals. They’re a big player in gaming console sales in general. I expect them to have some killer offers next year, but don’t expect it to be easy. They’ll likely offer:

• Discounted PS5 Consoles: Probably both the standard and Digital Editions.
• PS5 Bundles: Expect them to bundle the console with games, extra controllers, or even PlayStation Plus subscriptions. This is very common.
• Lightning Deals: These are super short-lived deals, so be ready to pounce!

Actionable Tips for PS5 Black Friday Success

So, here's the deal. You wanna win this PS5 game? Follow these steps:

1. Start your research NOW: Knowing what you want (standard vs. digital, bundles, etc.) will save you precious seconds on Black Friday.
2. Sign up for Amazon email alerts: I can't stress this enough.
3. Practice your speed: Get familiar with Amazon's checkout process. A smooth checkout is essential.
4. Have backup plans: Seriously, have other stores in mind.
5. Don't panic: If it sells out in the first minute, don't lose hope. Check back periodically throughout the day. Sometimes they restock. Seriously.

The Bottom Line: Patience, Persistence, and a Little Luck

Getting a PS5 on Black Friday isn't a walk in the park. It requires patience, persistence, and a dash of luck. But by following these tips and learning from my mistakes (lol), you'll dramatically increase your chances. Good luck, hunters! May the odds be ever in your favor! And let me know if you score a PS5! I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines (while quietly envying your awesome new console).
