We have a PS5. It's a great thing to use as bribery to get essentials done before putting a game on.

Our verdict

For parents, the PlayStation 5 offers a double win: it's not just a gaming console, but a gateway to family entertainment and bonding. With its powerful performance, it opens doors to immersive gaming experiences for kids and adults alike. The parental controls are robust, allowing you to manage screen time, restrict content, and ensure a safe gaming environment. The PS5’s diverse game library includes family-friendly titles, fostering fun and educational experiences for children while offering thrilling adventures for older players.

However, the console’s initial scarcity might make it challenging to purchase, which is why we advise snapping this deal up while it's still available. Plus, some games may come with age-inappropriate content, requiring careful monitoring. Despite these considerations, the PlayStation 5 can be a fantastic addition to the household, providing a platform for shared experiences, fostering creativity, and creating memorable moments for the whole family to cherish.

When is Black Friday 2023?

Black Friday 2023 is officially 24 November, but as we've seen in recent years, retailers tend to kick off their sales a few days or even weeks beforehand so it's well worth keeping an eye out for bargains throughout the whole month. During the sales event, MNHQ's deal hunters will be beavering away to source savings on products that we know Mumsnetters love and recommend.
