Here's How You Can Score a PlayStation 5 for Just £310
Buying a current-gen console like the PlayStation 5 can seem like a daunting ordeal for your bank account in 2024. But, have no fear, as one of the best PS5 deals of the year has just cropped up in the UK. Here’s the rub, MusicMagpie’s refurbished selection of PS5 Disc and PS5 Digital consoles are currently discounted by £100 using code RENEW25. This brings the digital edition down to £310, while the disc version sits at £340. For those who are just after the deal, we’ll leave the links just below, but if you want further convincing be sure to keep reading.
Refurbished tech still has a bit of a stigma behind it, but trust us when we say it’s the most affordable way to buy a video game console in 2024. Not only that but both these consoles are in ‘Very Good’ condition, which pretty much means you’ve got nothing to worry about.
Here’s what MusicMagpie has said about the refurbished consoles as well so you’re fully informed before making any purchases: “This product is in very good cosmetic condition, there will be signs of wear which may include light scratches and/or scuffs but nothing that will impair functionality. The item has been fully tested, restored to factory settings, and is in excellent working order.”
The only other barrier to entry is the fact that this is the original PS5 console, not the PS5 Slim. But, at the end of the day, it’s a fantastic deal, and it plays the games all the same anyway. If you’re concerned about space, I recommend sticking the dbrand Darkplates 2.0 on your Christmas list. The pure black is incredibly sleek and far less obtuse in any media setup, and it has a reduction in size thanks to dbrand eliminating the weird router flaps at the top of the faceplates.
Finally, the next biggest difference is the SSD size in the original PS5 — 825GB vs the new 1TB in the slim model. Again, this can be easily resolved with a little bit of patience, as we’re expecting PS5-compatible SSDs to get huge discounts during the upcoming summer sales like Prime Day in July. Otherwise, this 1TB PS5 SSD with Heatsink is down to just £61.99 at the time of writing.
