The PlayStation 5 Pro is about to land, but Why spend $700? on an improved version of an already good system when you can get the regular version for about half the price? This is now the case with the standard versions of the PS5, which Sony is now overhauling and selling at a significantly lower price.
If you look at this PlayStation Direct Storewhich serves as the company’s online console storefront, you’ll now find that the company is selling used or returned PS5s. The refurbished console’s landing page states that the systems have been “extensively cleaned, tested and ready for a brand new home.” Two versions of the PS5 are available refurbished: the base model with a disc drive and the digital model without a disc drive.
That is, if you might want to get one slim model of the PS5Your best bet is to just buy a brand new unit at full retail price, although this is the case with these consoles Also now on offer for a limited time. Otherwise, the only used systems sold directly by PlayStation are the basic versions that first came out in 2020.
The refurbished model with a disc drive costs $400, about $100 less than the cost of a brand new PS5. The real appeal of the deal, however, is the digital version, which starts at $350, making it the most technically affordable model of the PS5 currently available on the market. Both come with certified PlayStation replacement parts and a one-year warranty in case something goes wrong. If you’re in the market for a PS5 or have just been waiting for the right price to buy a system before the holidays, I don’t think you’ll get a better deal on the console than this one.
Now is also the time to get started, as the PS5 is finally receiving a steady stream of game releases that make the console a worthwhile purchase. Just last month Sony announced one upcoming sequel of Ghost of Tsushima that’s set to release exclusively on PS5 next year. Also like Megaton games Monster Hunter Wilds And Assassin’s Creed Shadows will all already be available on next-generation systems End of the first quarter 2025 (between January and March). That being said, you’ll probably want to get your console in order before the holiday rush and the subsequent flood of titles releasing over the next year. And now it’s more affordable than ever.
