Amazon’s Black Friday deals event is now live

Amazon’s Black Friday sale is now live.

Running until November 27, the online retailer’s Black Friday deals event promises 1,000s of offers, with new ones dropping as often as every five minutes during select periods.

When VGC checked on Friday, we spotted a number of competitive deals on gaming products including consoles, software and accessories.

Earlier today, some UK retailers cut the price of the standard PS5 console to £379 (the cheapest we’ve seen it), and Amazon is now offering it for £379.99.

Other notable UK deals we spotted included:

• Xbox Series X console plus Modern Warfare 3 for £409.99
• Xbox Series X console plus Modern Warfare 3 and Diablo 4 for £439.99
• Xbox Series S Starter Bundle for £249
• Mortal Kombat 1 (PS5 and Switch) for £29.99
• Final Fantasy 16 (PS5) for £32.99

Amazon’s US website has a dedicated section for Black Friday gaming deals, but not many appear to be available at the time of publishing.

Walmart recently launched its Black Friday deals, including PS5 ‘Slim’ Spider-Man 2 and Modern Warfare 3 bundles for $499, while Target’s go live on November 19.

Xbox’s Black Friday sale kicked off today, as did PlayStation’s Black Friday promotion, both of which feature discounts on over 1,000 products, according to the companies.

Nintendo of America announced a range of Black Friday deals last week, while Nintendo UK has also listed some of the games and hardware bundles that will be available in its Black Friday sale.
