Description:
There's only one console to buy this Black Friday, with a PS5 now costing

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

It appears that Sony is showing Microsoft in particular that there's only one 
console to buy this Black Friday : you can currently buy a PS5 for only ten 
quid more than an Xbox Series S. 

Yup, while we've been celebrating the super-low prices on Sony's console 
since the Black Friday PS5 deals started 'properly' last week, this 
comparison puts the console proposition in 2025 into sharp perspective.

The PS5 deal that highlights this allows you to nab a PS5 Slim Digital 
Edition for just 280 at EE (was 429), compared with the lowest price on an 
Xbox Series S I can find, which is 269.99 at Amazon (was 299.99). 

Yup, so for an extra ten pounds more than the once much-lauded Series S, you 
can go for a Black Friday PS5 deal that gets you a digital, but still 
fully-powered PS5 console. No power compromises, 825GB of SSD storage 
goodness, and still the option of adding a disc drive after the fact, too. 

Why would you buy any other home gaming console this Black Friday? 

Need I point out more? A PS5 for 280 is frankly ridiculous, and in a straight 
shoot-out between this Digital Edition and the all-digital Xbox Series S, it 
is an absolute beat-down by Sony on Microsoft's console. Staggering price 
comparison, and a genuinely great deal in its own right. View Deal 

This is the cheapest Xbox console Black Friday deal I can find right now, 
which probably says an awful lot in and of itself. However, next to the above 
PS5 deal, it's a sorry sight. View Deal 

Of course, a PS5 for 280 is also much cheaper than the Nintendo Switch 2 at 
around the 400 mark, but at least that console offers something genuinely 
different. 

There's no denying the fact that the PS5 Slim and Series S are broadly 
targeting the same plug-it-into-your-TV kind of gamers, and at these prices, 
the matchup is a total beatdown, and you can get the best gaming console 
going right now, for a few beans more than a budget Xbox. Wild. Shop more of
