According to early leaks, Sony’s PlayStation 5 is the only item on sale that won’t be discounted drastically over Black Friday. Of course, it’ll be available for $499, so you can still buy it at a bargain. But there’s one thing you won’t find on sale for a knockdown price – yep, Sony’s PlayStation 5.
The PS5 has been in short supply since it was released over a year ago, to the point that is simply obtaining PS5 stock at the retail price is a Black Friday “deal” in itself.
The good news is that hope is on the horizon. Now that it’s Black Friday, major retailers like Amazon and Walmart promise to serve up some of the most fantastic PS5 deals yet. But what’s the catch? And why is PS5 stock so challenging to come by these days?
Ever since its release in 2020, PS5 has been selling out in pre-orders. So, with that thing in place, Sony has predicted the PS5 shortage to last till 2022.
However, this doesn’t mean you wouldn’t have access to PS5 bundles, games, accessories in the Black Friday sale.

Will the PS5 be available this Christmas?
It’s impossible to say. Unfortunately, the next-generation console has had widespread stock shortages since its release, and it’s constantly in and out of stock all year. Once they’re available, you’ll need to act quickly, so subscribe to our mailing list if you want to be kept updated on when they become available.
With the console already flying off the shelves, I’m confident Sony wants to get more out there as quickly as probable. We’ll keep you updated as soon as this happens.
