Used price spread on eBay
Before you buy a used PlayStation 5 Slim (Disc Edition)
- Ask for a video of the console loading a game disc
- Confirm the console is signed out of the seller's PSN account
- Check the DualSense controller for stick drift
- Listen for loud fan noise or coil whine during play
- Make sure the HDMI port is not loose or damaged
New, used or refurbished?
Buy new if you want the full warranty, a guaranteed battery and an easy return, or if the used saving shown above is small. Buy used when the gap is large and the seller has strong feedback and a return policy. Refurbished sits in the middle: a few dollars more than used, usually with a warranty and a tested unit.
