Sony is now officially selling refurbished PS5 consoles and DualSense controllers for cheap, so those looking to save money will have more options ahead of holiday 2024. As we reported in September, listings for certified refurbished PS5s and DualSense controllers were spotted on PS Direct, and they’re now available to purchase.
Sony offering discount on new PS5 Slim units alongside cheap, refurbished consoles
Before you head over to PS Direct to pick up a refurbished console, do note that Sony currently has a limited-time offer on new PS5 Slim disc and digital consoles, shaving $50 off each. But if you want something even cheaper, then the launch PS5 disc and digital models are available for $399 and $349, respectively.
“Every PlayStation certified refurbished product completes a rigorous recertification process that includes full testing that meets the same functional standards as new PlayStation products,” Sony promises. “Your certified refurbished product works like new.”
Sony also has refurbished DualSense controllers for sale in a variety of colors, starting at $59.99 and going up to $64.99 for colors like galactic purple.
Certified refurbished consoles are only available via PS Direct, so those who don’t have access to Sony’s online storefront will have to explore unofficial options locally.
