If you’ve been outside in the last 24 hours, you’ve likely come to the same conclusion that we have: it’s time to shut yourself indoors at least until mid-March.
To be frank, it’s getting gross out there. But it’s never been nicer to be inside. Why? Because inside is where your computer is, and your computer will grant you access to websites like Amazon and Walmart, both of which are offering huge savings during their respective Black Friday sales right now.
And if you’re looking for something to do while you’re snuggled up inside all winter, we’d suggest taking advantage of Black Friday PS5 deals, like the ones at Amazon and Walmart, which are offering the PlayStation 5 Disc Console Slim at an all-time low price.

PlayStation 5 Disc Console Slim
The PlayStation 5 Disc Console Slim is a compact version of the original PS5, featuring a built-in Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive for physical media support. It offers the flexibility to play physical games, watch Blu-ray movies, and load content via discs, making it ideal for collectors and those with a physical library.
PlayStation 5 Digital Console Slim
The PlayStation 5 Digital Console Slim removes the disc drive entirely, focusing solely on digital content. Users can purchase and download games, movies, and media from the PlayStation Store, offering a streamlined and slightly cheaper alternative for those who prefer an entirely digital gaming experience.

Are early Black Friday deals worth shopping for?
We recommend shopping early for items that are likely to sell out, such as perennial gift favorites like Xbox, Ugg boots, PS5, Apple AirPods, the editor-approved Dyson AirWrap and more.
Can I shop Black Friday sales online?
Yes! Most stores and big box retailers continue to hold traditional in-store Black Friday sales but also match discounts for online shoppers. According to the National Retail Federation, Black Friday has topped Cyber Monday as the busiest day of the calendar year for online shopping since 2019.
Why is it called “Black Friday”?
The earliest usage of “Black Friday” as we know it dates back to the 1950s or ’60s, with “black” nodding to dreaded traffic jams caused by shoppers crowding downtown retail stores, as well as understaffed sales associates. Retailers attempted to rename the day “Big Friday” to signify a day of family fun and shopping. Although the rebrand didn’t stick, the positive connotation did. Retail businesses enjoy increased sales, and consumers enjoy corresponding holiday shopping discounts.
Despite being a great day for retailers, Black Friday still draws on the dark side of American consumerism, as many will remember violent crowds competing for limited merchandise. However, with the advent of internet shopping, retailers and e-tailers have continued to see record-breaking sales in recent years, without the morbid mob mentality kicking off the holiday season.
When is Cyber Monday 2024?
This year, the online shopping holiday Cyber Monday will take place on Monday, December 2, 2024.
Which is better, Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
The short answer is, it depends. Some retailers approach Black Friday and Cyber Monday differently, discounting various brands and products throughout the days after Thanksgiving, sometimes at different price points.
Traditionally, Cyber Monday offers retailers an opportunity to drop deeper discounts on already on-sale products. However, consumers should take caution: waiting for Cyber Monday is a risk that products, or certain sizes or models, may sell out.
Conversely, some stores don’t differentiate between their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
When is Travel Tuesday 2024?
