Need time to kill before the Cobra Kai finale next year? This Best Buy PS5 game deal is for you
Waiting for the official ending of a six-season show can be excruciating. Especially if you’ve been a fan of the entire Karate Kid franchise since it began in the 80s. The ending to the Netflix TV show, Cobra Kai, now isn’t expected until next year and that’s a lot of time to kill – so why not spend it playing a game based on the franchise?
The Karate Kid Street Rumble is based on the first three movies and lets you fight your way through an onslaught of enemies with a cute retro-inspired pixel art style. You can also even play as Daniel LaRusso, Mr. Miyagi, Ali Mills, and Kumiko too!

20% off PS5 thumbsticks exclusively for Amazon Prime members
You know Black Friday is well and truly happening when, well, it’s Friday and Amazon has rolled out some Prime-exclusive deals.
You will need to be a Prime member to see any savings on these KontrolFreek thumbsticks, but as a recent thumbstick convert, I highly recommend you pick them up. Adding an extra layer to your sticks, especially one with an improved rubber grip is not only more comfortable but adds a splash of color if you’re just rocking out the plan ol’ white DualSense.
What’s better is that if you still happen to be playing the PS4, there’s are compatible with the sticks of the DualShock 4 too!

I should have waited for this Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Black Friday deal
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is my least favorite game of the year. I won’t get into the exact details, as today isn’t about me, it’s about saving you some hard-earned cash during Black Friday. But I will say that if there was a 43% discount when I originally bought this reimagined sequel, that definitely would have cushioned the deal.
Saving $30 on this RPG is definitely worth a fanfare or two, as its MSRP of $69.99 is a lot to ask, especially for any PS5 fans with a budget to keep to. If you’ve been putting off continuing your FFVII journey after Remake, then I’d highly recommend grabbing this before the price returns to normal after this big sales event.

7 games for the price of one – and one tasty discount
Snake! Snaaaaaaaake! This collection of some of the most iconic games the PlayStation has ever seen features not just the original Metal Gear Solid on PS1, but Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Metal Gear (NES/FC version), and Snake’s Revenge for good measure.
If you grew up with the Metal Gear series and are after some nostalgia, or maybe just want to replay Metal Gear Solid 3 just in time for the remake, this collection is now only $18.99 at Amazon, which is a bargain worth calling Snake up on the codec for.

The PS5 Slim just got a further discount on Amazon
We’re starting off the day with a nice juicy discount on the digital edition of the PS5 Slim. The PS5 Slim has already been the main focus of this month’s sales, but until now it just had 15% off. With Black Friday officially here there’s a nice tiny bit of extra savings to be had here – which is always warranted with such a pricey bit of tech!

And we’re off! It’s officially Black Friday, so after months (yes months) of tracking this year’s biggest PS5 deals I’m ready for the sale to fully begin. I’m seeing a lot of the same discounts on the shelves this morning, with record-low prices on consoles, games, and accessories. However, Best Buy and Amazon have dropped new savings on us in the early hours so I’ll be hunting through those latest offers to see if there’s any treasure in these newcomers.
So far, things look more geared towards Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and Meta Quest in this morning’s roster of new discounts – but we’re holding out hope. Not that we need it, this year’s Black Friday PS5 deals are already looking absolutely stacked – and I’ll see you through the entire sale right here.
