Black Friday has proven an especially good one for prospective PlayStation owners. All versions of the console have seen steep discounts across a number of retailers, including JB Hi-Fi, Amazon and EB Games.

It's eBay that keeps surprising us, though. Last week, via the eBay The Gamesmen store, the PS5 Slim digital edition dropped to a record-breaking AU$449. But things have gotten marginally better now: It's possible to get the PS5 Slim digital edition with FC26 bundled in, for only AU$499 on the EB Games eBay store.

But that price can be reduced even further, to AU$450, if you're an eBay Plus subscriber and use the NOVSAVE coupon at checkout. An eBay Plus trial is free: sign up for 30 days, and make sure you set a calendar reminder to cancel before first billing.

It's worth noting that standalone consoles are also available for the prices listed above. Obviously, the bundles give you a free game and thus are better value, but if for some reason you don't want FC26 (perhaps this is a gift for a soccer-averse someone) you can get the standalones below:

My headline might seem a bit... over the top, but eBay is definitely offering the best prices on PS5 consoles at the moment. Amazon is basically sold out, while JB Hi-Fi do have very competitive prices, albeit not as good as eBay with the eBay Plus trial and coupon code.

Still, perhaps you'd prefer to shop at JB Hi-Fi, especially if you just hate signing up to subscription services. So here's what JB Hi-Fi is offering in a handy chart:

Things may change, but Big W is offering PS5 consoles for the same price as JB Hi-Fi listed above. EB Games is offering all of the above usually at a slightly higher price (the exception is the PS5 Pro, which sits at the same discounted price). If you have a local retailer nearby, you might prefer to duck in and buy IRL instead.

But the moral of the story is: eBay is currently the very best place to buy a PS5 in Australia during Black Friday, if you want to save every single buck.
