PS5 Slim

Black Friday

With Black Friday this week, it seems less and less “biggest shopping day” of the year, ever since the pandemic reset the celebration. Since then it’s become more like a Black Friday week, then Black Friday month, etc. Most of the deals have already been announced, what people are discovering “Early Black Friday” events. Look, I’m a victim myself, having been enjoying (and going broke) partaking in the various sales.

One of the best deals in Weekend Gamer news is that the PS5 Slim is being sold for $100 off. This is a great deal, considering that Xbox raised their price twice this year (and rumor has it going to raise their prices a third time). However, before you bite, consider this: you’ll be locked into the PlayStation ecosystem. You’ll have to buy PS games only… unlike Xbox with their “Play Anywhere” games, which allows you to play on the PC using the Xbox app. You can always buy a PC or wait for the Steam Machine and hope that it’s decently priced.
