You're going to see loads of Black Friday PS4 deals on the internet over the coming week, but there's one you should really pay attention to, and it's live right now: PS Plus is cheaper. (Not in the UK? Scroll down to see PS Plus 12-month membership prices in your region it's very likely you can enjoy a discount too.)
PS Plus, or PlayStation Plus to give it its full name, is a membership that works on your PS4 (or PS5 if you're lucky enough to have one). It lets you play online on many multiplayer games, but the real treat is that it lets you download free games each month.
The games can be quite good too: this month it's Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Hollow Knight, with Bugsnax available for PS5 owners, and you often get around £60 of free games per month. That's certainly more than you spend on PS Plus.
PS Plus subscribers can also enjoy access to 24 free PlayStation games courtesy of the recently released PlayStation Plus Collection.
Many people (the author included) buy the PS Plus 12-month pass once per year, on Black Friday when it's reduced, and rely on that for all their games. So if you're a gamer on a budget ignore all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, and just get yourself a PS Plus membership.

PS Plus is great for PS4 or PS5 gamers for the free games and online play, and we can't recommend it enough for those who can't afford to buy new games all the time.
The free games per month work like a curated library, where Sony picks out titles it thinks you should play. We've discovered loads of favorites from it, that we wouldn't otherwise have gotten to try.
Getting PS Plus also gives you frequent discounts on the PS Store, more so than non-members can enjoy.
