Short answer
PS5 is not one price: the cost changes with certified refurbished stock, the digital edition, a disc drive and the Pro model. This range uses only Italian prices from Sony's official store and leaves games and accessories out.
Buying a PlayStation 5 starts with deciding how you expect to buy games later. The Digital edition cannot read Blu-ray discs or physical games, while the disc model can use new, second-hand and borrowed discs. The PS5 Pro raises the upfront cost and has 2 TB of storage, but it does not make every game automatically PS5 Pro enhanced. On PlayStation's direct store, the checked range starts at €499.99 for a certified refurbished Digital console, moves through €599.99 for a new Digital edition and reaches €649.99 for the 1 TB disc console; the 2 TB Pro is €899.99. These are console-only prices. Games, a second controller, an optional vertical stand and online membership remain separate decisions. That is why the guide uses the new disc console as its typical reference while showing the real alternatives instead of claiming there is one PS5 price.

How to spend less
- If you only buy digital games, compare the €599.99 new Digital model with the €499.99 certified refurbished one before moving to the disc version.
- Choose the disc drive if you expect to buy or resell physical games: the higher initial price may avoid rebuying titles you already own.
- Do not use a two-controller bundle as the console price; first decide whether a second pad fits how you play.
- Check SSD capacity before buying a model, since later storage expansion is separate spending.
- If you only play offline or single-player games, budget for PlayStation Plus separately rather than adding it automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Is the PS5 Digital cheaper than the disc PS5?
Yes. On the checked official pages the new PS5 Digital is shown at €599.99 and the 1 TB disc PS5 at €649.99. The difference is not about downloading games, as both can do that. It is the drive: the Digital model cannot use Blu-ray discs or physical games bought, borrowed or second hand.
Does the PS5 Pro include games or a second controller?
No. The €899.99 figure for the 2 TB PS5 Pro is the console price. A game, another DualSense, headset, vertical stand and other accessories need separate budgeting. This guide does not add them to the console price so that the models can be compared on the same basis.
Is a certified refurbished PS5 in the same range as a new one?
It is a separate option: PlayStation's direct store shows a certified refurbished PS5 Digital at €499.99, against €599.99 for the new Digital model. It can reduce the upfront cost, but check the exact model, availability and the official channel's conditions before buying.
Sources and methodology
How we worked it out
The range comes from two official PlayStation pages opened on 18 October 2026. The direct-sales page lists €499.99 for a certified refurbished PS5 Digital, €649.99 for the new 1 TB disc console and €899.99 for the 2 TB PS5 Pro; the Italian hardware page confirms the new Digital model at €599.99 and notes that availability can vary. The typical figure of €649.99 is the published price of the new disc console, not a statistical average. Two-controller bundles, limited editions, temporary offers, games, delivery and subscriptions are excluded because they add different products to the console being compared.
Why this confidence level
Confidence is high because both references are official Italian Sony Interactive Entertainment pages opened on the verification date and show direct-sale prices. The range does not describe every retailer offer or promise that every model is in stock; it describes the models and prices shown on the official channel that day.
