Sony is gearing up to roll out refurbished PlayStation 5 consoles through PlayStation Direct, making it quite special for gamers who are willing to upgrade to a cheaper option. These pre-owned consoles are labeled as ‘Certified Refurbished’, which rhymes with ‘as good as new’, and cost nearly 50% less than the newly declared PS5 Pro.

Certified Refurbished PS5: Half the Price, Same Quality

Sony’s refurbished PS5 units will undergo a ‘recertification checklist’ and some of the procedures may include tests to ensure the consoles work as properly as new stock. Each console will be sanitized, examined, and checked to ensure they are functional before being shipped to customers.

For satisfaction, Sony will offer these consoles with cables and manuals in Sony labeled “Certified Refurbished” packages. Moreover, the refurbished PS5 units will come with a one-year limited warranty from Sony so that buyers can have confidence in making that purchase.

A Cost-Effective Upgrade

Sony’s refurbished PlayStation 5 consoles will be relatively cheaper compared to the newly sold ones. The standard PS5 will start at $399.99 whereas the PS5 Digital Edition which does not have a disc drive option will be retailing at $ 349.99. This saves $100 for a unit as it costs $499.99 for the standard edition and $449.99 for the digital edition. Thus, since Sony has not changed the prices of the new PS5 since the launch of the model, these are the refurbished versions that might be an attractive proposition for the fifty million players still to use PlayStation 4.

It is reported that the revamped consoles are expected to be up for grabs shortly, with listings already live on PlayStation Direct, but currently labeled as “Coming Soon.” Regarding the second point, it is quite relevant to note that the decision to launch remanufactured PS5s is quite timely with the arrival of the PlayStation 5 Pro. This approach enables the Sony company to deal with low-price consumers as well as consumers who are willing to pay for better quality.

Refurbished PS5 Makes PS5 Pro Look Pricey

The PlayStation 5 Pro is set to retail at $700, and given that price, many gamers will find the cost of these refurbished consoles so much more affordable. In the same way, the Pro model will be able to deliver an even better gaming experience, which cannot be said for everyone. Sony is hitting out different market segments, the customer has the choice of getting the modern PS5 Pro, or PS5 second-hand models cheaper. For those who are looking to upgrade from their PS4, the used PS5s are a good deal well worth taking, for those who want both a good price and good performance.
