Black Friday 2023 saw many retailers offering some of their “best” deals for the PS4 consoles.

Target was one of the retailers that participated in the event, offering the console for $269, $30 off compared to the regular $299 price.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy a PS4?

Black Friday presents a good opportunity to grab a discount on the PS4, as many retailers offer reduced prices or bundle deals during the sales event. However, many of these holiday deals are offered as early as October and even later in December as the holiday season begins. In essence, you don't have to wait for Black Friday to get a new console. The timing should be determined by your needs—whether your current console isn't functioning adequately or you're looking to upgrade. As much as Black Friday comes with a lot of hype and the deals can be tempting, it may not always be the most convenient or ideal time to shop.

PS4 Black Friday deals

The original PS4, the “chunky” version, was Sony's fourth-generation gaming console. It arrived in 2013, boasting a bold, angular design with a sleek matte and glossy finish. It's popular for its powerful performance and extensive game library, with a 500 GB console available on Back Market for $164 ($184 off compared to the price of new), with a refurbished version available for $184 at Walmart and $189 on Amazon.

PS4 Slim Black Friday deals

Introduced in 2016, the PS4 Slim is the streamlined version of the chunky 2013 PS4. It features a sleeker, lighter design but with the same robust performance capabilities. It also features the same extensive game library, but a significant difference between the consoles is that the PS4 Slim is more energy-efficient and quieter. You can get a 500 GB PS4 Slim for $174 ($125 off compared to the price of new) on Back Market. Target offers the best retail price, with the same console priced at $299.

PS4 Pro Black Friday deals

The PS4 Pro is the upgraded version of the PS4, designed to deliver better performance, faster processing, and improved graphics with 4K resolution supported. It is ideal for gamers who want to enjoy a more immersive experience from the extensive PS4 game library. You can get a 1 TB PS4 Pro for only $208 ($160 off compared to the price of new) on Back Market, with Target offering a manufacturer-refurbished version for $339.

Bottom line: Get PS4 deals on Black Friday OR any time of year

Black Friday and Cyber Monday present good opportunities to get deals from retailers nationwide. Most retailers offer PS4 bundle deals during the sales event, offering a great opportunity to get a discounted game or accessory with every console purchased. Retailers also offer discounts on PS4 accessories and select titles, and Black Friday again provides a great opportunity to expand your game library. 

However, if you're looking for Black Friday PS4 deals, you'll be better off buying verified refurbished consoles on Back Market. We offer some of the lowest prices for PS4 consoles, with our deals available all year long. You don't have to put off that upgrade or downgrade any longer, with PS4 consoles available for as low as $132 with various models, colors, and storage options in stock. 

Are PS4 Black Friday deals worth it?

PS4 Black Friday deals are worth it if you want to make the most of the available bundle deals. Most retailers avoid offering anything below the retail price of the console itself, so they provide bundle deals that include a discounted game or accessory. Such deals are only good if you're already interested in purchasing the game offered in the package deal. Moreover, caution is needed when shopping during Black Friday as some retailers also increase their prices shortly before the event to make their “deals” seem more attractive. 

At Back Market, we take pride in offering clear and transparent deals. We never apply outdated sleight-of-hand tactics, and our deals are as good as they seem. And the best part about them is that they are available every day of the year.
