PS5 Deals Amazon: Black Friday 2024 – My Hunt for a Console

Okay, so Black Friday 2024 is still a ways off, but let's be real, planning for PS5 deals on Amazon (or anywhere, really!) needs to start now. I mean, last year was insane. People were camping out – literally – days in advance. I almost lost my mind!

My Black Friday Blunder of 2023

Last year, my Black Friday PS5 hunting was a total disaster. A complete and utter fail. I didn't even get close. I thought I was so smart, setting multiple alarms, refreshing Amazon like a maniac every minute. I even had two computers going! I was like a crazy person, glued to the screen, waiting for that magical "Add to Cart" button. But nope. Sold out before I even saw it. Poof! Gone. I was so bummed, I almost cried. Seriously.

What I Learned the Hard Way: PS5 Black Friday Prep

So, I've got some serious tips for you, gleaned from my bitter experience. Because let's face it, scoring a PS5 deal on Black Friday is like winning the lottery. Except, you know there are PS5s out there – you just gotta outsmart everyone else to get your hands on one.

• Start Your Research NOW: Don't wait until the week of Black Friday. Check Amazon frequently, look at price histories on sites like camelcamelcamel.com to see what kind of deals they've offered previously for similar products. Pay attention to what bundles come with it. Do you want extra controllers? Extra games? Figuring this out will save you lots of time on Black Friday!

• Make an Amazon Account (and Check Your Info): This might seem obvious, but having a smooth checkout is key. Double-check your shipping address, payment information—everything. The last thing you want is a delay because your credit card info is out of date! Also, check if Amazon has a "wishlist" option so you can add the PS5 to it. Sometimes they offer special deals to people who do that.

• Download the Amazon App: The mobile app can be faster than the desktop site during high-traffic moments. Trust me, speed is everything on Black Friday.

• Set Up Multiple Alerts: Use CamelCamelCamel (like I said earlier) and other price-tracking websites, and set alerts for the PS5. Then make a list of other stores that also sell it and check their sites/apps too, in case one of those retailers has a better deal.

• Know Your Budget: Don't get caught up in the hype. Figure out the absolute max you're willing to spend before Black Friday. This prevents impulse buys – and overspending.

• Be Patient (and Realistic): Even with all this preparation, you might still miss out. It's a competitive game. Don't give up hope though, because Black Friday is just the beginning of holiday deals. There's always Cyber Monday, and sometimes even deals in December and January!

Beyond the PS5: Maximize Your Black Friday Savings

Remember, it's not just about the PS5. Look for deals on games, accessories (like extra controllers or a PS5 headset), and maybe even a new 4K TV to really enhance your gaming experience. Think about what you'll need to maximize the use of a new PS5.

My Black Friday 2023 sucked, but 2024 is a new chance. I'm using these tips – and I'm hoping for a better outcome. Wish me luck! And good luck to you, too. May the odds be ever in your favor!
