This early Black Friday PS5 deal at Walmart is absolutely not a Black Friday 
PS5 deal worth buying

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Walmart has an early Black Friday PS5 console 'deal' running, but for the 
love of PlayStation, do not buy it. 

With Sony breaking cover this week and declaring that the official Black 
Friday PS5 deals will go live on Friday, November 21, there's really no 
reason to jump on anything right now - and Walmart's current PS5 console 
'deal' is nothing but evidence for that. 

  Shop Walmart's full Black Friday sale 

The mega retailer currently has a PS5 Slim Digital Edition for $474.98 - 
which is a huge, mighty, super-duper discount of 25 bucks from the list price 
of $499.99. This is a small discount at the most normal of times, let alone 
two days out from the official Black Friday PS5 deals starting, so remember: 
there is absolutely no reason to buy this. 

You can think of this as more of an 'anti- Black Friday deal ' - one worth a 
cursory glance at and nothing more ahead of the big day on Friday, when 
discounts will run rife through PS5 consoles and hardware.

PS5 console 'deal' 

In short: DO NOT BUY THIS 'DEAL'. However, you can still use it as a good 
reference point or jumping-off point to all of Walmart's Black Friday gaming 
deals - we know it'll go big on PS5 gear when the discounts start properly on 
Friday, November 21.

Target - $499.99 View Deal 

The PS5 Slim - specifically the one with a disc drive, to be clear - is, for 
our money, the best gaming console you can buy right now. Just don't buy this 
particular 'deal' on it... Shop more of today's best Black Friday sales
