At a time when the gamers community has been dealing with the announcement of the new since yesterday PS 5 Pro and its “stingy” price, Sony took the opportunity to add new refurbished PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition consoles to PlayStation Direct store, at more affordable prices. The Certified Refurbished PS5 Digital Edition retails for $349.99, offering a $100 savings over the new PS5 Slim Digital Edition. The Certified Refurbished PS5 costs $399.99, also $100 less than the new PS5 Slim.
Although the consoles are labeled “coming soon” and can’t be bought outright, they offer a better value for money than other retailers like Amazon, where a refurbished PS5 costs around $449.99, according to Techradar. All of Sony’s refurbished consoles come with a one-year warranty and free returns, giving interested gamers extra peace of mind. However, it is reported that there may be minor cosmetic blemishes, so they are not brand new in appearance. Included in the package are all the accessories and parts that one would get when buying a new PS5.
It is noted that the new PS5 Pro promises significantly improved performance, focusing on three key technologies: bigger and more capable GPU, faster memory for 45% faster graphics performance and advanced ray tracing technology, which the Japanese gaming giant claims is two to three times faster than the base PS5. In addition, as it became known, this upgraded PlayStation 5 will also feature an AI-driven upscaler, which improves the screen resolution and the clarity of the image, thus producing a more crystal-clear result in the visuals. However, in Europe it will cost about 800 eurosleading some to consider investing in a refurbished console.
