PS5 consoles are still a pretty hefty investment, so it's always worth keeping an eye out for ways to make the jump to current-gen gaming a little cheaper. Especially in 2026, and with GTA 6 just around the corner.

PlayStation has a brand new offer that does just that in the run-up to Black Friday, knocking $40 off when you buy a Certified Refurbished PS5 console and a Recertified DualSense wireless controller together. The bundle starts at $518 for the Digital Edition, while the disc-drive model comes to $568.

Let's break this down a little further, as there are more savings here than it initially seems. With the additional $40 applied at checkout, you're essentially getting $723 worth of hardware for just $568, at least on the refurb PS5 disc edition.

For the digital edition, it's $673 total, down to $518. How does this work exactly - I hear you ask? So, you're already getting a $100 discount on a refurbished PS5 console compared to buying new ($599 / $649 MSRP).

Let's be clear, though: you're getting an additional controller with this offer, not just a discount on the console. You can choose from a range of DualSense controller colorways, too, so there's a chance to pick up a second pad that suits your setup.

A standard DualSense wireless controller usually costs $74 via PS Direct, but the recertified controller in this bundle costs $59, and effectively drops to just $19 after all is said and done.
