PS5 Black Friday deals 2023: Get $50 off the PlayStation 5

We’ve found plenty of PS5 Black Friday deals, including games, accessories, store funds and the console itself. Grab the disc-based PlayStation 5 system for $450 on Amazon or $50 off the PS5 Slim bundled with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. In addition, you can save on DualSense controllers and games from franchises like God of War, Assassin’s Creed and Star Wars Jedi.

PS5 Slim console with Spider-Man 2

If you’re happy to go disc-free, Amazon has the month-old PS5 Slim console bundled with a digital code for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which Engadget found to be “bigger and better” than the 2018 original, for $499 ($60 off).

Sony’s “Slim” PS5 console (officially called the PS5 Digital Edition) removes the system’s disc drive but lets you change your mind later. Unlike previous digital variants, the disc drive is a modular attachment you can add later as a separate $80 purchase.

PS5 console with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III

You can also get the console with Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III for the same price. This is the latest version of the gaming system with its removable disc drive already included and mounted. You also get a digital copy of the newest Call of Duty game, which includes remastered versions of all 16 maps from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009).

PS5 console (with disc drive)

An Amazon Black Friday deal has the PS5 console on sale for $450 ($50 off). This standard model includes a built-in disc drive that lets you choose between physical discs (without any extra purchases) or digital downloads of your favorite games.

Although this model is out of stock at the time of publication, we wouldn’t be surprised to see availability (for it and other deals in this article) fluctuate throughout the day and perhaps the entire Black Friday weekend.

DualSense controllers

Amazon also has loads of PS5 controllers on sale. The retailer offers various colorways of Sony’s DualSense Wireless gamepad in the $49 to $50 range. These include the standard white, black, cobalt blue, starlight blue, gray camouflage, pink and purple options.

The DualSense controller typically costs $70 to $75, so you’re shaving around a third of the price off Sony’s defacto PS5 gamepad.

PlayStation wallet funds

You can also save on PlayStation wallet funds on Amazon. Although the gift cards are branded for PlayStation Plus memberships, you can use them as standard virtual funds for games, DLC or other digital content.

As is typical with gift card deals, you’ll save more for buying higher amounts. You can get $30 worth of PlayStation funds for $27, $55 for $49.50, $70 for $63 or $110 for $99.

Black Friday PS5 game deals

Sony has plenty of digital games on sale in the PlayStation Store. There are too many to list all of them here, but highlights include God of War: Ragnarok for $30 (down from its usual $60), Cyberpunk 2077 for $30 (currently $50 MSRP), Star Wars Jedi: Survivor for $42 ($70 MSRP), Diablo IV for $42 ($70 MSRP) and Red Dead Redemption 2 for $19.79 ($60 MSRP). You can shop the entire PlayStation Store game sale to see if any other deals jump out.

Meanwhile, retailers have deals on physical PS5 games. Best Buy has discounted God of War: Ragnarok for half off ($35 from its $70 MSRP). Walmart has Star Wars Jedi: Survivor for $30 ($70 MSRP), Resident Evil 4 for $30 ($60 MSRP) and Street Fighter 6 for $30 ($60 MSRP). Amazon has (physical disc) game deals, too, including Elden Ring for $39.69 ($60 MSRP), Assassin’s Creed Mirage for $40 ($50 MSRP) and Final Fantasy XVI for $35 ($70 MSRP).

The 5 best Black Friday deals on AirPods and AirPods Pro for 2023

If you’ve been looking to grab a new pair of AirPods ahead of the holidays, we have good news: The entirety of Apple’s wireless headphone lineup is on sale for Black Friday. We’ve rounded up the best Black Friday AirPods deals we could find below, with discounts on the base AirPods, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. There's even a new record-low price on the AirPods Pro with the older Lightning charging case. If you don’t need a new pair today, note that recent reports say Apple may refresh its AirPods lineup later in 2024. But if you don’t want to wait until then, the deals below are still offer good value.

Apple AirPods Pro (USB-C)

Apple’s AirPods Pro are on sale for $190 at Amazon, Walmart, Target and Best Buy. That's $60 less than buying from Apple directly and ties an all-time low. This is the “best for iOS” pick in our wireless earbuds guide thanks to its suite of helpful Apple-specific features, including hands-free access to Siri, quick pairing with iPhones and device tracking through Apple’s Find My network. Effective (if not class-leading) ANC, a superb transparency mode and a pleasantly warm sound also stand out. That said, the Pro’s six-hour battery life is just average and, as with any set of AirPods, you pretty much have to be a dedicated Apple fan to get the most out of it.

Apple AirPods Pro (Lightning)

The previous deal applies to the latest iteration of Apple's earphones, which come with a USB-C charging case. If you don’t mind using a Lightning charging case, Walmart has the previous version on sale for a new low of $169. Aside from their charging case, these buds are very similar to the latest model and are still a solid option if you're looking for a pair of ANC earbuds with a comfortable fit and iOS-specific conveniences. We gave them a score of 88 in our review and praised their improved sound quality and Transparency Mode.

Apple AirPods (2nd Gen)

The second-gen AirPods are down to $80 at Amazon and Target, which isn’t an all-time low but comes in roughly $20 below the pair’s usual street price in recent months. These are Apple’s entry-level wireless earbuds, having launched way back in 2019. They’re a bit tougher to recommend these days, as their one-size-fits-all design won’t fit everyone and you can get better sound quality even at this discounted rate. But if you prefer an open design that doesn’t completely seal off your ear canal, or just want the typical AirPods conveniences for as cheap as possible, this is at least a more acceptable price for these buds.

Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)

The third-gen AirPods are available for $140 at Amazon, Target, Best Buy and others. Typically, these wireless earbuds have retailed between $10 and $20 higher in recent months, but steeper discounts have been uncommon. We gave this pair a review score of 88 back in 2021: There are certainly better-sounding options for the money, but the third-gen AirPods sound noticeably richer than their predecessor, and their haptic touch controls are altogether more convenient. This is another open design, though, so there still isn’t much in the way of deep bass or noise cancellation. Not everyone will find the wider earpieces comfortable either.

Apple AirPods Max

Apple’s top-of-the-line headphones, the AirPods Max, are discounted to $450 at Amazon and Best Buy. That’s $20 more than the lowest price we’ve seen but about $30 below the pair’s usual street price. Apple itself sells the headphones for $550. The AirPods Max are still overpriced for most even with this discount, but they remain undeniably premium, with top-tier ANC, a superbly balanced sound profile, a high-quality aluminum design, reliable controls and all the usual AirPods features. They’re hefty, though, and their included “case” is bafflingly flimsy. We gave the AirPods Max a review score of 84 in late 2020.

1Password Black Friday deal: Save 50 percent on the password manager's individual and family plans

At this point in time, you probably have a ton of passwords to keep track of across a vast number of websites, apps and services. One way to keep them safe and organized, and to prevent losing access to your accounts, is to use a password manager. For Black Friday this year, 1Password is giving you the chance to purchase an individual or a family subscription for 50 percent off their normal prices, as long as you're a new subscriber. The manager's individual account normally costs $35.88 a year, while its family account is typically priced at $59.88, so expect to pay half those amounts, respectively. 

Both subscription tiers come with access to the service's mobile and desktop passwords, as well as its browser extensions. You can save not just log in credentials with 1Password, but also addresses and credit card details, and you can hide select vaults when you switch on Travel mode. 1Password will allow you to temporarily share logins with anybody, as well, even if they're not a user. But if you purchase a family subscription, you can share the account between five people who can create an unlimited number of shared vaults. Each member can also help another recover their access in case they get locked out.

It's worth noting that 1Password recently went beyond well, passwords, and rolled out support for passkeys to desktop and mobile users. That means you'll be able to sync your passkeys across devices and across platforms, so you can log in to your accounts without having to resort to using your credentials. This special Black Friday discount will be available from November 24 to November 27 only.

The Dyson Airwrap is at its lowest price yet for Black Friday 2023

One of social media's seemingly favorite hair styling tools is down to a record low for Black Friday. Dyson's Airwrap has a list price of $600 but is now on sale for $480 at QVC and for the same price on Amazon, after you clip the on-page coupon. The innovative AirWrap relies on air instead of extreme heat to dry and shape hair — which could help keep your hair healthier over using a curling iron, straightener or blow dryer. 

The Dyson Airwrap uses a technology called the Coanda effect, a phenomenon describing airflow’s tendency to follow the path of a curved surface. Here, the air jet flows around the tool’s barrel or brush attachment, so it wraps, dries and styles hair all at once. Since it doesn't use a lot of heat, it's meant to be less damaging to your hair in the long run. Dyson claims the Airwrap monitors the device multiple times per second, ensuring the temp stays safe for your hair. 

It comes with a rotating cool tip, three airflow speeds, three heat settings and a cold shot feature that immediately turns off the heating element, helping to set your with a blast of cool air. And there are plenty of accessories too: A barrel that's 1.2 inches around, a barrel 1.6 inches in diameter, two smoothing brushes, a smoothing dryer, a volumizing brush and a detangling comb. Plus there's a filter cleaner and a case to neatly store everything. 

Considering the attention this item has been getting — and the fact that it's been a fast-selling gift for the holidays — means it may go out of stock quickly. If you've got your eye on it, either for your own hair or someone else's, you may want to snap it up.

Razer Black Friday deals for 2023 include up to 70 percent off gaming mice, keyboards and webcams

If you've been looking to pick up some new gaming gear ahead of the holidays, several noteworthy Razer accessories have dropped to lower-than-usual prices for Black Friday. Not all of these Black Friday gaming deals are winners, but the offers do include a couple of top picks from our guides to the best gaming mice and gaming keyboards. The Razer Basilisk V3, for one, is the chief recommendation in the former, and it's currently available for $40 at Amazon, Walmart, Target and Best Buy. That's $10 off its typical going rate and matches the lowest price we've tracked.

The Basilisk V3 is a wired model, and it's not the lightest thing around at roughly 100 grams. But if you don't spend all of your PC gaming time in twitchy multiplayer titles, it's a superb value at this price. Its sturdy, pleasingly textured shape should be comfortable for most hand sizes and grip types — lefties excluded, sadly — and its sensor had no major issues with tracking accuracy in testing. Its scroll wheel is on the louder side, but it's also versatile: You can use it to navigate left or right and switch it to a free spin mode that lets you navigate large files faster. The whole thing comes with 11 customizable buttons, including a useful "sensitivity clutch" that lets you momentarily drop or raise the mouse's DPI in moments where you need to aim more precisely. Speaking from experience, that won't stop you from getting destroyed in Halo Infinite, but having a little bit of extra flexibility doesn't hurt.

Elsewhere, the Razer Huntsman V2 TKL keyboard is also worth shouting out at its Black Friday price of $80. That's the lowest price we've tracked for the model with Razer's Linear Optical switches, which is the runner up pick in our gaming keyboard buying guide. This tenkeyless board doesn't have the multifunctional analog switches of our top pick, the Wooting 60HE (which isn't on sale), but it offers a well-crafted design at a much lower price. The linear switches here are fast and noticeably quiet in operation, while the PBT-coated keycaps feel crisp. The keyboard connects over a detachable USB-C cable and comes with a wrist rest in the box as well, though the latter can't magnetically attach to the keyboard like some competitors. A variant with Razer's Clicky Optical switches is also on sale for a new low of $45, but we found typing on that model to be distractingly loud in testing.

Among the rest, the Razer Naga Trinity is a decent value at $66 if you want a gaming mouse for MMOs and MOBAs, while the Razer Viper Ultimate is worth a look at $70 if you want a lighter mouse that comes with a charging dock. A handful of Razer's webcams and bass-heavy gaming headsets are also on sale. If you want to look beyond Razer, we have a more general roundup of Black Friday gaming deals with additional discounts on peripherals we like.

The Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad is 28 percent off in an Amazon Black Friday deal

Amazon has a hefty price cut on the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro / Air. The Black Friday deal drops the (typically $299) accessory’s price to $215, which represents a 28 percent discount. Initially launched in 2020, the Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad provides an easy and seamless way to jump between tablet and laptop(-ish) modes. Attach your iPad magnetically to the accessory’s back (it appears to “float”), and Apple’s software immediately recognizes it for typing and cursor control — no Bluetooth pairing or cables required. Engadget recommended it as one of the best iPad accessories.

Its (scissor mechanism) keys feel similar to those of recent Mac keyboards, and its trackpad, although smaller than those on MacBooks, gives you desktop-like cursor control and swipe-based multitasking gestures in iPadOS. The accessory supports USB-C passthrough charging, so you can juice up your iPad while plugging an external drive or monitor into the tablet’s port. The accessory is available in black and white.

This model is only compatible with recent iPad Pro and iPad Air models. Specifically, it supports the 11-inch iPad Pro (1st generation through the current 4th-gen model) and iPad Air (4th and 5th generations). If you have the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, there’s a separate Magic Keyboard model for it that’s also on sale: You can grab that one for $299 (it’s usually $349).

If you've already got a keyboard that works for your iPad setup, a few of our other favorite iPad accessories are on sale as well. The second-gen Apple Pencil has dropped to $89 for Black Friday, and Tablift's iPad holder is on sale for $32 for Amazon Prime members as well.

Amazon Black Friday deals include up to 50 percent off Logitech PC and gaming accessories

Logitech is selling a number of PC and gaming accessories at a steep discount as part of a larger Amazon Black Friday sale. The impacted products include the well-regarded Signature M650 Wireless Mouse and the G230 Wired Gaming Mouse, among other items. All told, you’ll find discounts on mice, keyboards, lights, headphones and chargers.

The Signature M650 is the perfect mouse for most people, with a lightweight form factor and a number of ergonomic enhancements. There are both right or left-hand options, which change the placement of the customizable side buttons, and each mouse boasts the company’s proprietary SmartWheel scrolling technology. This gives you more precision as you scroll line by line.

It’s wireless via Bluetooth or a Logi Bolt receiver and the batteries last two years. There are reasons, after all, why this mouse made our list of the best stocking stuffers. About the only downside here is that the mouse requires AA batteries, but with the two-year battery life, that’s not the biggest deal in the world.

This is part of a larger Logitech PC accessory sale that offers discounts on all kinds of products, including the company’s POP wireless mechanical keyboards and the G Litra Beam Premium LED computer light, which is $85 instead of $100. There’s also a sitewide sale on Logitech G gaming accessories, like the G203 wired gaming mouse for just $20 instead of $40. Black Friday, you dastardly dog.

Peacock Black Friday 2023 deal: Get a one-year Premium plan for only $20

Black Friday deals have come for streaming services, and NBC’s Peacock has a noteworthy sale going on right now. Peacock Premium has been discounted to $2 per month, instead of the usual $6 per month, when you use the code BIGDEAL at checkout. You can spend even less overall if you pay for one year upfront — it'll cost only $20 for the first year that way, with the code YEARLONG at checkout.

The codes are only valid between November 22 and the 27th, and the offer excludes current Peacock Premium and Premium Plus subscribers. Since launching, Peacock has accumulated over 20 million subscribers and for good reason. It offers a variety of classics, from Dreamworks’ Shrek films, to hit reality TV shows like Love Island. The streaming service has been expanding its titles, with a new season of Dr. Death arriving in December and a prequel series to the Ted films from Seth MacFarlane set to premiere in the new year.

Peacock has been trying to set itself apart from the competition with offerings like next-day streaming of Bravo shows. A subscription could be a holiday treat for yourself or a loved one — the flash monthly sale is hard to beat, especially with streaming prices rising as much as they have been recently.

If you're interested in other Black Friday streaming deals, Max, Hulu and Paramount+ are among the many who have discounted their memberships for the holiday shopping period. Max's ad-supported plan is only $3 per month for the first six months; Hulu has discounted one year of access to only $12 and Paramount+ is only $2 per month for the first three months for new subscribers.

Solo Stove’s Pi Prime Pizza Oven is $50 off for Black Friday

Solo Stove’s gas-powered Pi Prime pizza oven is on sale for $300 for Black Friday, which is a discount of $50. You also get a free stainless steel pizza peel with this deal, for those times when you don’t want your bare hands anywhere near a contained flame that reaches 950 degrees Fahrenheit. That should be all of the times. 

The Pi Prime is the company’s second pizza oven and, unlike the original Pi, is completely self-contained, with a built-in gas burner. This makes it a great option for those new to the world of pizza slinging, as there are fewer pieces to fiddle with. As mentioned above, the temperature maxes out at 950 degrees Fahrenheit, but the front-facing control dial lets you quickly lower this temperature when needed. It’s a thin line, after all, between a pleasantly charred crust and something resembling the surface of Mercury.

The round shape recalls the company’s well-regarded fire pits and there’s plenty of room to maneuver and cook a 12-inch pizza, in addition to other items. Inside, there’s a two-piece cordierite pizza stone that can be easily removed for cleaning and transport. There’s also nothing stopping you from using the pizza stone in your home oven during the colder months (like now.)

Speaking of those colder months, the Pi Prime ships with a cover, so you don’t have to haul it inside at the first sign of snow. So what’s the downside? As previously mentioned, this is a gas-only stove, and propane costs money. This isn’t a huge deal if you only make pizzas once in a while, but could get frustrating if you’re working diligently to perfect recipes.

The best Black Friday air fryer deals for 2023

One of the big selling points for air fryers is they can do far more than just make french fries crispy. Heating up leftovers is one big plus; the fact that they don’t overheat your entire kitchen is another.

These are the best Black Friday deals on air fryers we've tested and recommend. 

Instand Vortex Plus Air Fryer

Ninja Foodi Dual Zone air fryer
