That truly is an incredible deal
On Black Friday, Game is selling Sony’s coveted PlayStation 5 gaming console for R6,499 in extremely limited quantities.
Starting at midnight on Friday, November 24, 2023, the Massmart-owned general goods retailer will sell only ten PS5s at that price. The consoles on offer will be standard disc drive units that can only be purchased online.
To be one of the lucky customers, you must add the PS5 to your cart and use a special code at the checkout. The code will be distributed via Game’s social media channels.
To ensure a fair chance for all ten shoppers with the fastest fingers, the offer will be limited to one console per customer and one code checkout.
Katherine Madley, Massmart’s vice president of marketing, stated that the PS5 is still in high demand at game stores three years after its release.
“Our merchandising team works hard throughout the year to ensure we can offer unbeatable deals like this come our deep discount days like Black Friday,” Madley said.
The PS5’s recommended retail price in South Africa is currently R13,999. The console has been reduced to R11,999 from various retailers as part of PlayStation’s Black Friday promotions
The ten lucky buyers will save R7,500 on the regular price — a 53.5% discount
The only other company offering a Black Friday deal on the PS5 that compares to Game’s is FNB, which is also limited in quantity.
It will sell the console on a 36-month contract for R185 per month, for a total price of R6,660.
