You will soon be able to buy refurbished PS5 consoles from Sony via PS Direct and the prices are surprisingly reasonable
A
new
listing
for
refurbished
(second
hand)
PlayStation
5
and
PlayStation
5
Digital
Edition
consoles
has
appeared
on
the
official
PlayStation
Direct
store
and,
although
they’re
not
available
right
now,
the
prices
actually
seem
quite
reasonable.
The
listings
were
spotted
last
night,
when
many
were
tuning
in
to
the
PS5
Pro
reveal.
As
you
might
expect,
the
cheapest
is
the
Certified
Refurbished
PS5
Digital
Edition,
which
is
listed
for
$349.99
–
a
tidy
saving
of
$100
compared
to
a
brand
new
PS5
Slim
Digital
Edition.
There
is
also
the
standard
Certified
Refurbished
PS5,
which
is
$399.99.
This
is
another
$100
saving
compared
to
a
brand
new
PS5
Slim.
The
Certified
Refurbished
PS5
is
currently
listed
in
the
UK
for
£389.99
too,
though
there
is
no
page
for
a
Certified
Refurbished
PS5
Digital
Edition
in
the
region
at
this
time.
All
of
these
Certified
Refurbished
products
are
listed
as
“coming
soon”,
so
you
can’t
buy
them
just
yet,
and
it’s
worth
bearing
in
mind
that
they
appear
to
be
the
launch
PS5,
not
the
newer
PS5
Slim.
Even
so,
this
seems
like
quite
a
good
deal
compared
to
much
of
the
competition.
A
renewed
PS5
console
at
Amazon,
for
example,
would
set
you
back
around
$449.99
/
£417.99
at
the
time
of
writing.
Every
certified
refurbished
console
sold
by
Sony
is
offered
with
a
one
year
warranty
and
free
returns,
which
is
sure
to
contribute
some
added
peace
of
mind.
The
store
page
does
state
that
certified
refurbished
products
“may
have
minor
cosmetic
imperfections”,
so
don’t
purchase
one
of
these
if
you’re
expecting
something
that
looks
completely
factory
new.
As
for
what’s
in
the
box,
you
get
everything
included
with
a
new
PS5.

Like
a

a

also
comes
with

copy
of
Astro’s
