There's never been a better time to own a PlayStation 4 -- not only is it the only way to play critically-acclaimed exclusives like God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man and the upcoming The Last of Us Part II, but it's also a versatile addition to your home theatre that can play Blu-ray movies, stream Netflix, listen to Spotify and more.

Whether you're buying your first or your fifth console, here are our picks for the top five PlayStation 4 deals you'll find for Black Friday 2018 in Canada.

1. Best Buy: PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB Bundle with Marvel's Spider-Man - $259.99 (regularly $379.99)

Best Buy will have a PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB Bundle with Marvel's Spider-Man for $259.99 (regularly $379.99) from November 22 to 29. Marvel's Spider-Man is one of the top games of 2018 (much to the chagrin of J. Jonah Jameson) and the bundle itself is an incredible value -- for reference, the historical low price for a slim PS4 console is $229.96 (see #4), but this Spider-Man bundle includes twice the storage and an amazing game for just $40.00 more. This deal will also be available at other stores including London Drugs, The Source and Walmart (in-stores only).

2. Real Canadian Superstore: PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB Bundle with Marvel's Spider-Man - $259.98 + 30,000 Bonus PC Optimum Points

Real Canadian Superstore will also have the PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB Bundle with Marvel's Spider-Man for $259.98 from November 23 to 28, but you'll want to get one on November 23, because you'll also get 30,000 bonus PC Optimum points with your purchase on Black Friday -- a value of $30.00! The only drawback is availability, as the bonus points are only available for one day and stock varies by store. Overall, this is the best deal for the PS4 Spider-Man bundle and will likely be one of the most popular products on Black Friday, but stock limitations bump it down to #2 on our list.;i>

3. EB Games: PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB Bundle with Marvel's Spider-Man - $79.99 when you trade in an old PlayStation 4 console (regularly $379.99)

EB Games will have the PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB Bundle with Marvel's Spider-Man for $79.99 if you trade-in an old PS4 console from November 22 to 26. This is more of a niche deal, as you need to have a working PS4 console and controller to trade-in, but it can be worthwhile for those with older consoles, as you'll be upgrading to newer hardware, getting one of PlayStation's best games and a new warranty for the $79.99 trade-in price. Otherwise, the bundle is available for the standard Black Friday price of $259.99 (regularly $379.99) if you aren't trading-in.

4. Walmart: PlayStation 4 Slim 500GB Console - $229.96 (regularly $349.96)

Walmart will have a PlayStation 4 Slim 500GB Console for $229.96 from November 22 to 25. The $229.96 price is a new historical low for a PS4 console, but we don't consider this the best value for the console -- it doesn't come with a game, the small 500GB hard drive will fill up quickly and worst of all, it's only available in-stores, so you'll have to brave the cold weather and Black Friday crowds if you want one.

5. Best Buy: PlayStation 4 Pro 1TB Bundle with Red Dead Redemption 2 - $499.99

Unfortunately, there are no PlayStation 4 Pro deals this Black Friday, which is disappointing for 4K TV owners or anyone hoping for a discount on Sony's flagship console. Our advice would be to wait for Boxing Day, but if you need one sooner, the PS4 Pro 1TB Bundle with Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best value currently available at $499.99. The bundle price is identical to the standalone console price, which essentially means you're getting Red Dead Redemption 2 for free, which isn't bad at all -- it's universally-acclaimed and a shoo-in for multiple game of the year awards in 2018.

Availability will vary depending on the retailer and quantities are usually limited, so we suggest shopping early if you want a new PS4 this year. Plus, remember visit the RedFlagDeals Black Friday page for more deals, flyers and tips for Black Friday 2018! Happy shopping!
