Scalpers are taking things to a new level. Usually, limited edition items like the upcoming 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro bundle will command a premium purely due to their scarcity – but some plucky swindlers are taking to auction sites to sell their services attempting to buy one of the 12,300 units for you. They want $10,000 for the privilege.

Want a PS5, but don’t want to spend $700 on a PS5 Pro? Thanks to Sony’s new refurbished website for PS5s, you’ll soon be able to buy an older version of the console for a lot less money than the PS5 Pro’s eye-watering cost.

Alongside consoles, PlayStation Direct is set to begin selling refurbished DualSense controllers. There are currently three listings on the retailer for refurbished controllers in Nova Pink, Galactic Purple and Gray Camouflage. Each costs $64, a $10 saving compared to buying new. These also come with a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty.

After Sony announced in a stream the new PS5 Pro and its $700 price point, the company is also gearing up to give the rest of us a much cheaper alternative in the form of refurbished PS5s.

The $700 PS5 Pro requires gamers to buy a separate $80 disc drive if they want to play physical copies of their games.

Despite suffering the most negative response to a new Sony console ever, analysts predict the PS5 Pro will do no worse than the PS4 Pro.

Sony is celebrating 30 years of PlayStation and the celebrations are quite elaborate. The company has recently announced the limited edition PSOne themed PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro as part of these celebrations.
