Sony has just officially announced the 2025 PlayStation Black Friday deals. Some early details on this year’s PlayStation Black Friday sale have already surfaced by way of leaks, the PlayStation X account, and the official GameStop Black Friday ad, but Sony has now taken to the PlayStation Blog to officially detail this year’s deals – console bundles, controllers, PS Plus, games, and more, as well as the prices and start times. 

Update 11/20: The official Black Friday AirPods deals are now live at Amazon including the all-time low on AirPods Pro 3:

• AirPods Pro 3 $220 (Reg. $249) – all-time low
• AirPods 4 with ANC $110 (Reg. $179) – all-time low

One of the big-ticket items for Black Friday this year is AirPods Pro 3 – there are certainly more than a few people waiting patiently to see where Apple’s latest and greatest will land during the massive November shopping season. We did already uncover an upcoming offer with a $100 gift card attached and it appears as though they are also now $30 off at Staples – but you might not be able to get your hands on them. 

After leaking well ahead of time, Sony has officially revealed the 2025 Black Friday PS5 console bundle. And, while we are still awaiting an official announcement from Sony on everything else, it looks as though GameStop has effectively leaked the official 2025 PlayStation Black Friday deals. 

This set has been hard to obtain since its launch, and ETBs haven’t dropped below retail prices often. Seeing it at $79.99 is a solid purchase if you’ve been hunting for one.

Jump on it while you can! Phantasmal Flames ETB ($79.69)

Amazon also has the Booster Bundle for $54.99, which is not bad value either.

The ETB (Elite Trainer Box) includes:

• 9 booster packs from the Phantasmal Flames expansion.
• 1 full-art foil promo card featuring Charcadet.
• 65 themed card sleeves.
• 40 basic Energy cards.
• A player’s guide to the expansion.
• 6 damage-counter dice and 1 coin-flip die.
• 1 plastic coin.
• A collector’s box with 6 dividers to hold everything.

While it’s been all about the new Super Mario Galaxy Movie as of late, Nintendo did confirm its live-action Zelda film earlier this year before announcing the actors set to personify its titular princess and the Hero of Light this past summer. However, up until now, we were yet see any images from the film or the set – Nintendo just unleashed the very visuals of Zelda and Link from the film. 

The 2025 Black Friday deal season is upon us and early details from the major retailers are starting to flood in. This year we are already getting official confirmation from many of the biggest retailers and brands on when you can expect the Black Friday and Thanksgiving deals to begin and it looks like we are going to be getting a full month worth of big-time discounts in 2025. Deals are actually kicking off on October 31 this year and carrying right through to Thanksgiving 2025 and Black Friday with various sale events throughout the month of November. 

The official 2025 GameStop Black Friday ad has arrived. The gaming retailer has now unleashed its nearly 20-page Black Friday ad loaded with Nintendo Switch game deals, an early look at the official PlayStation Black Friday offers, and much more, while also officially launching its early Black Friday sale that is now live on its official site from $10. Check it all out down below. 

Black Friday month has officially begun and the early deals are already in full swing, as we have already reported on extensively. Best Buy and Target were, by and large, the first major retailers out of the gate with big-time early sales and they have not disappointed – the best prices ever on the new Google Pixel 10 lineup and $99 price drops on Apple Watch Ultra 3 are a tiny fraction of the highlights here. But this year’s schedule is not exactly a uniform one, and perhaps less organized from retailer-to-retailer than in recent memory – consider this post your Black Friday Watch List, an organized collection of the key dates you need to have on your radar. 

I finally got my hands on the new Mega Charizard Ultra Premium Collection, straight from Pokémon Center at retail pricing ($119.99) and today we’re cracking it open to see if it actually lives up to the hype. This box has been one of the most sought-after products, selling for $119 MSRP but already reaching $250–$300 on the secondary market. So… is it worth it?

Inside, you get 18 packs, two incredible promo cards (including the new Mega Charizard X ex and the stunning Oricorio illustration from Shinji Kanda), a premium playmat, a metal coin, sleeves, dice, and a mix of the newest sets like Fantasmal Flames, Mega Evolutions, Surging Sparks, Destined Rivals, and more.

Check out our video to see what we end up getting! You are going to be surprised!
