PS5 DIGITAL EDITION

£360 / playstation.com

Unlike with the new Xboxes, there’s no difference in power between the standard PS5 and the cheaper Digital Edition – it really is just a matter of whether you want a disc drive or not, and that’s a £90 decision you’ll have to make and then live with.

Do you prefer discs, for the joy of physical ownership or collecting? Do you care at all about 4K UHD Blu-ray movies? Do you have a cache of physical PS4 games that you’ll still want to play on your new console? If you shrugged at all three of those questions, then maybe you’ll do just fine with the Digital Edition and you can put that extra cash towards new games. On the other hand, if you’re not quite ready to take the download-only leap, then this slimmer alternative isn’t the PS5 for you.
