PlayStation 5 Digital Console £369.99 / Disc Console £459.99 with code (My John Lewis members) + 2 Year Guarantee @ John Lewis & Partners

technically they’re still above the Original RRP which were £449.99/£359.99 Disc/Digital until Sony decided to ramp up the RRP to £479.99/£389.99 due to “inflation”

You don't need a workplace discount to get the 4% off by buying a gift card. JamDoughnut (see App store/Google play store) has the exact same deal - you can buy a John Lewis gift card and get 4% off. Anyone can sign up to JamDoughnut. I've used it lots of times.

Yep.. Sony doesn't know how to do an equivalent to steam sales

The main difference is the disc version you can play disc games you buy from the store. Digital version you can't do that as it doesn't have a disc drive.

My advice is to go for the disc version . The reason why is disc version of games are cheaper and they drop in price faster and you can sell and let others borrow them. Lots of advantages.

Get Street fighter 6 on pc alot of reviews saying there's a big difference in visual quality

You've just given me an eBay scam idea


(Joking, I don't sell on eBay anymore after they required open banking)

One wise man once said:

“Dying is a matter of luck, we take life for granted but in reality we don’t know if we will live tomorrow. Everyone who dies had plans for tomorrow”

If you really want it I don’t see why not! Even if next day you buy it the new version comes out it will still be a great piece of tech. I doubt it will come anytime soon though.

I have a PS5 since release and I’ve been loving it so far! Even if the new gen is a bit more powerful, the gains will be not worth the upgrade if you already have one (IMO).

most! 99% of them.

there are only a very few select games that don’t work which you can google. Those games are old and irrelevant anyway

No one is scalping these anymore

Hopefully fix the Coil Whine.

Yup! You can actually see them on eBay selling at a loss

Have a guess

Afaik it isn't confirmed its slim. Just a revision with a detachable disc drive.

You'll be lucky to get a damaged one for that

Thank you so much, you’re advise really help me choose the right one for my need. Just ordered now, can’t wait to see my kids happy face.

The PS5 has pretty much only just come out, deals are unlikely

I thought that too, scalpers will be all over them 🫤

£450 with a PS exclusive game on a disc and I'm in.

Outside of SSDs, component prices are still higher than pre-pandemic, which is when the original price was announced. They used inflation because they aren't a gigantic company who can simply absorb extra costs on loss-making hardware.

It sucks for everyone, but that's the way the world is right now. Microsoft continue to absorb massive losses purely because they knew that increasing prices when they were/are so far behind Sony in console sales would have been suicide. Their marketing department spun it up into a dig at Sony and as always the outrage society followed in it's droves.

But it's okay, cause Microsoft are buying Activision and Sony are the nasty evil now.

FWIW, both corporations are classic capitalistic corruption at it's finest, and shilling for either is the equivalent to bending over with a good ole Smart Price jar of vaseline open next to your ankles.

You can’t play disc games, other wise they are the exact same console.

SSD* solid state drive

£589 o the JL site . How did you manage £499 ?

Or buy psn cards which are usually 15-18% it's stated value and on launch its cheaper then actually buying the disk version.

How I see it if you buy loads of games or it's for your kids etc then disk makes sense but someone who buys a game or two a year, it take years before you feel the savings over disk.

Have a guess

Is there a latest guide to buy from turkey store. Payment method etc?

yeah both john lewis and currys do this and its just disgusting business practice for such expensive items. most retailers provide boxes and theres these 2
