Buy as many of these as you like, and apply as many codes as you see fit in order to make the most savings (including on PS Plus), but this is also your last chance to do so. The $110 gift card deal has expired, but the $70, $55, and $40 cards are still 10% off at the time of writing.
PS5 Controller Cyber Monday Deals: DualSense for $49
One of the more standout deals for the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend is Sony's DualSense Black Friday deal. Opting for controllers like the Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, Galactic Purple or Gray Camo is your best bet as these are some of the most popular, tend to sell out during sale events, and cost the most at $74.99 MSRP — so buying at the $49 Black Friday offer will maximize your savings. Many of these even sold out over the weekend, but are now back for Cyber Monday! You should probably consider making your purchase soon to avoid disappointment, as the CYber Monday sales do indicate the end of this deal.

PlayStation Plus has received its Black Friday and Cyber Monday discount (see here) — up to 30% off for new subscribers, while those on Essential or Extra tier can get money off upgrading their membership.

If the previous price increase deterred you, the return to the previous pricing still might catch the attention of new PS5 owners who purchased a console.

PS5 Black Friday Shopping Tips
Many of these tips are applicable no matter what you’re shopping for on Black Friday.
Plan Your Spending – It's important to acknowledge that many of us have substantial video game backlogs. Just because you spot a game you desire on sale, doesn't mean you should rush to buy it. Set a budget and stick to it. Only invest in games you genuinely intend to play in the near future.Create a Wishlist – A practical approach to keep your Black Friday spending in check is by crafting a wishlist of games or items you're interested in purchasing, and then adhere to it. Resist the temptation of deals that don't align with the items you would have bought otherwise.Compare Prices – It's not uncommon to be enticed by what seems like an excellent Black Friday deal (for instance, The Last of Us Part 1 for $39.99). However, it's wise to double-check by looking at other popular retailers to see if they offer a matching or even better sale price before hitting the buy button.Act Swiftly on Exceptional Deals – When you stumble upon a truly remarkable deal on a PlayStation game or accessory, don't hesitate. Retailers have limited stock, and the best deals are likely to sell out before Black Friday concludes. Seize the fantastic deals promptly.But, Don't Worry if You Miss Out – If you attempt to purchase an outstanding deal and discover that it's sold out, don't be disheartened. Often, the very same Black Friday deal may resurface on Cyber Monday. And even if it doesn't, the next Prime Day will arrive sooner than you think.
