Black Friday has absolutely zero historical context outside of the US – where its officially sanctioned and widespread usage is all about retailers taking their books from the red, in to the black. Its real history may be muddier and darker than that, but for most, it’s all about scoring at retail. Honestly, who doesn’t love a bargain?
We’ve seen pretty good deals from The Xbox Side of life – with console bundles doing for R3999, and as low as R1999 for a lucky few. We’ve also seen some exceptional game pricing on the digital stores. Pretty good pricing, and a a great way to get in to the current gen.
The question though, is whether or not PlayStation is going to step up. The answer? Mostly. Sony will be selling off the current, regular 500GB PS4 for R3999 this Friday, matching the price of the Xbox One – though it’s worth noting that the Xbox One on special comes bundled with a game.
For one day only – that’s tomorrow, in case you were wondering – you’ll be able to get a PlayStation 4 for R3999 at BT Games, Takealot.com, Game4U, Musica, Dion Wired, Game, C.N.A and Makro stores.
On top of that, if you subscribe to PlayStation Plus (or even use the 14 day trial that comes with the console), you’ll be able to grab a bunch of games from the PlayStation store at decent pricing.
Via cheapgamer.co.za, here’s a list of the Black Friday game deals on the local PlayStation store for PS4, PS4 and Vita games:

Yeah, very tempted to get a PS4, but I have my eye on a Sapphire RX480 4gb for the same price!

PS4 Titanfall 2 much more expensive than Xbone sale and no real savings on new titles. Crysis!!!!! Awesome prices for awesome game.

Too bad Crysis looks like crap on PS3
Andre Fourie
November 24, 2016 at 09:02
I haven’t played the first one, but had 2 and 3 on my PS3, and they were awesome. I have them on my 360, now and still love them. Some of the best games I’ve ever played.

I NEED TF2 for PC, but not at the current price 🙁

WOW!! No Man’s Sky is going to only R549!! That the cheapest price so far for me to ignore it at.

Yesterday I walked into BT games. NMS was littered everywhere in the pre played section.

November 24, 2016 at 09:41
Littered. Yes, that’s an accurate description.
Viper_ZA
November 24, 2016 at 12:17
How do they even accept that kinda crap back in the store? Lol…
Ottokie
November 24, 2016 at 13:00
I think it was trade in for store credit
Viper_ZA
November 24, 2016 at 13:02
Sure I get that, but why accept so many copies. Makes no business sense
Sageville
November 24, 2016 at 13:11
Business sense? This is the business that sells 2nd hand games at a higher price than the same title brand new….
Viper_ZA
November 24, 2016 at 13:13
Exactly, NO sense ;p
Aries
November 24, 2016 at 10:53
Isnt that launch price?

November 24, 2016 at 13:34
sadly, I just saw it at CNA for R999. I wonder if they’ve even made one sale!

November 24, 2016 at 09:51
Watchdogs 2 @ R699 & Battlefield 1 @ R779 , damned if i buy, damned if i don’t buy. Is this a win-win or lose-lose situation?
