If you are postponing the upgrade from PS4 to PS5 (or not on PlayStation train yet), your patience may have paid off as Sony has confirmed that it will start selling its refurbished PS5 console via playstation Direct

This week's list of "Certified Playback Playstation 5" has appeared on the official PlayStation retailer As with the new PS5, the console has two flavors: the standard version, which includes a disk drive, and the digital version, which (naturally) excludes Blu-ray drives2 The refurbished PS5 is priced atト399, while the refurbished PS5 digital is listed atト349 

The listing page explains that these are "Sony refurbished consoles" and that "certified refurbished products may have minor cosmetic defects""However, Sony offers a 12-month manufacturer warranty In addition, you are saving 499 on the retail price of the brand new PS4 449, which costs 5 (1 100 for the digital version) 

Note that these lists are for refurbished models of launch PS5, not ps5Slim The PS5Slim boasts the same built-in components, but compared to the standard model 825GB, it has a slimmer profile and 2 nifty upgrades of a larger 1TB SSD hard drive 

Usually I would like to advise against buying refurbished technology But in this case, refurb is directly supervised by Sony, and the console comes with a 12-month warranty, so I'm willing to make an exception The refurbished PS5 is especially helpful if you're on the market for the current generation at the lowest possible price

Alongside the console, PlayStation Direct plans to start selling the refurbished DualSense controller Currently, there are three list of refurbished controller retailers from nova Pink, Galactic Purple and Gray Camouflage Each will cost new64, saving10 savings compared to a new purchase These also come with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty 

As to when these lists will go live, PlayStation Direct will mark them as "coming soon" but will update this article when they become available for purchase 

On the other hand, if you're not so worried about the cost, Sony has just announced the ps699pro at the ey5 witness price, and if you want to get the most powerful PlayStation this winter, we have all PS5Pro pre-order details
