Our Take
The PS5 Slim Digital Edition is Sony's smaller, lighter redesign of its flagship console, sold here without a disc drive so all games are bought and downloaded digitally. This "Renewed" listing is a professionally refurbished unit, tested and repackaged, aimed at buyers wanting current-gen gaming at a lower price than a brand-new console, without the physical disc option.
Key Features
Slimmer, lighter redesign compared with the original launch PS5, with a smaller footprint
No disc drive fitted; all games, add-ons and media must be purchased through the PlayStation Store
Custom SSD offering fast load times and support for the console's Activities and quick-resume style features
DualSense wireless controller included, with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback
Supports 4K resolution output and boosted frame rates on compatible games and displays
Backwards compatible with the vast majority of PS4 titles
Our Verdict
Sensible for budget-conscious gamers who buy everything digitally and don't mind a refurbished unit with a shorter warranty. Skip it if you own physical games, want disc-based flexibility, or would rather have full manufacturer warranty peace of mind from a brand-new console instead.
