Sony will sell you a refurbished PS5 if you don’t want to drop $700 on a Pro

Want a PS5, but don’t want to spend $700 on a PS5 Pro? Thanks to Sony’s new refurbished website for PS5s, you’ll soon be able to buy an older version of the console for a lot less money than the PS5 Pro’s eye-watering cost.

You can see everything that’s on offer on Sony’s certified refurbished website, which lists a bunch of products as “coming soon.” A refurbished PS5 in the original launch design with a disc drive will cost $399.99 (a $100 discount from a new PS5 slim with a disc drive), while a refurbished all-digital PS5, also in the original design, will cost $349.99 (also a $100 discount).

The store features refurbished DualSense controllers, too, with white and black controllers for $59.99 and purple, pink, and gray camo controllers priced at $64.99. (Those prices are a $15 discount off the newly bumped DualSense controller cost.)

“Every PlayStation certified refurbished product completes a rigorous recertification process that includes full testing that meets the same functional standards as new PlayStation products,” according to Sony. “Your certified refurbished product works like new.” However, in a footnote, Sony says the refurbished products “may have minor cosmetic imperfections.” The refurbished products will also come with a one-year limited warranty.
