Refurbished PS5 consoles include second controller for an extra $18

As the much-anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI release approaches on November 19th, many eager gamers are making haste to secure a PlayStation 5 console. Buying directly from a retailer may not be the most budget-friendly option, but Sony offers a solution with its refurbished PS5 consoles, which come at a discounted price and include a few enticing extras.

Sony's refurbished PS5 consoles include a one-year warranty, putting the buyer's mind at ease. For just $18 more than the standard refurbished model, customers can add a refurbished DualSense controller to their purchase. This extra controller not only saves money but also ensures that two-player households are fully equipped for the upcoming launch of Grand Theft Auto VI.

In addition to the added controller, the refurbished PS5 consoles come with a 1TB SSD, providing ample space for games and updates. The digital edition console is currently equipped with 825GB of built-in storage, while the disc edition maintains its generous 1TB capacity. The inclusion of a PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD with a heatsink offers even more storage options for those who desire to expand their gaming library.

The limited-time bundle available through Sony's page allows customers to choose between a refurbished digital or disc-based console, with the added DualSense controller included at a discounted price. The white DualSense model adds just $18 to the total cost, while more fashionable colors, such as sterling silver, come with a $23 premium. This affordable option is a smart choice for gamers looking to stock up and guarantee a seamless gaming experience during the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI launch.
