Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition vs Sony PlayStation 5 Disc Edition
These are not two working consoles. Product A is a new, sealed-style PS5 Digital Edition: no disc drive, 825GB SSD, one DualSense, full warranty. Product B is a broken CFI-1115A sold for parts only: it does not power on, has no disc, no power cable, no warranty and no returns. For anyone who wants to play games, buy A. Buy B only if you repair consoles and want a donor unit. Reviewers praise the PS5's SSD load times, haptics and 3D audio; owners of the disc model like the Blu-ray drive, which A lacks.
- Choose the PS5 Digital Edition if you want a working console to play games today, with a controller, cables and a one-year warranty.
- Choose the CFI-1115A if you repair consoles and want a cheap donor unit for parts, and you accept it will not power on.
