Refurbished PS5 consoles include second controller for an extra $18
Sony is offering refurbished PlayStation 5 consoles at discounted prices through its certified refurbished program, with a limited-time promotion bundling a refurbished DualSense controller. The digital version is priced at $499 while the disc-based model costs $549—approximately $100 less than standard retail prices. Both consoles come with Sony’s one-year warranty.
As part of the promotion, customers can add a refurbished DualSense controller at a reduced price. White controllers add just $18 to the total purchase cost, while premium color options like sterling silver add $23. These controllers are regularly $40 off their usual retail pricing through the refurbished program.
The timing coincides with the highly anticipated launch of Grand Theft Auto VI on November 19th, which is driving significant console purchasing interest. Many consumers are using this as an opportunity to acquire a PS5 at a lower cost point while still receiving Sony’s official warranty coverage and refurbishment certification.
The offer is available directly through Sony’s PlayStation Direct website on its certified refurbished products page, providing a cost-effective entry point into the current PlayStation generation ahead of GTA VI’s release.
