Reply to comment by Flimsy_Quiet_7246 in Do i get a PS5 just for the controller? by NecessaryQueasy6894

I found a used ps5 for £400 like new condition, is it better than a new 450£ Xbox series X?

Yeah but what about the used ps5 for 400, yeah or no?

400? its a bad deal, I say no. You could get a ps5 itself for that price.

It's a disc edition and they retail for £489. Is it worth saving £89 but getting a used console with no warranty?

depends, you said you only wanted the controller, but ps5s are pretty expensive. Maybe there's gonna be something like the ps5 slim coming out for a cheaper price, like the ps3 slim. that one was a real game changer

I mean if I bought a PS5, I wouldn't get the Xbox and I wouldn't get a pc. So whatever I buy, I have to stick with. So I think I'm not gonna get it and I'd rather add £89 ( as I sold my pc for 800 to get a series X and have spare money, so the extra price isn't an issue) and have warranty and it's not been used

make sure that the controller can connect to whatever you are using it on. I tried connecting my ps3 controller to my computer and couldn't get it to work. But a ps5 can also be the digital edition for cheaper, but it depends if you want the ps4 capabilities added on. Almost like the ps3 with the ps2 chip, that sadly got removed like 2 models later
