Refurbished PS5s Will Be Sold By Sony Via PlayStation Direct At Reduced Price

Sony Interactive Entertainment is preparing to sell refurbished PS5s on PlayStation Direct at a reduced price, having opened up a new section on the site called Certified Refurbished.

These refurbished PS5s are hardware that were preowned and have been returned to Sony for various reasons and can no longer be sold as new stock. Sony is offering a refurbished PS5 with a disc drive for £389.99/$399.99, which saves you £90/$100 on the regular model. There’s no date of when they are available to buy, as it simply says ‘coming soon.’

You will receive a product that works like new with genuine PlayStation replacement parts (as needed) that has been thoroughly cleaned, inspected and tested. All Certified Refurbished will come with the necessary accessories, cables and manuals, and are packaged in their own branded Certified Refurbished packaging.

The hardware manufacturer also real that these refurbished consoles will ship with a 12-month warranty, and that systems “may have minor cosmetic imperfections.”

Sony is currently gearing up for the release of the PS5 Pro, a mid-cycle refresh of its flagship console that will offer a number of performance enhancements over the existing model. The PS5 Pro is due out on November 7, 2024 priced at $699.99/£699.99.
