If you're thinking of buying a PS5, it's important to know about the models, storage, and which version is most worthwhile before buying.

PS5 Models

There are currently several PlayStation 5 models:

• PS5 with disc drive: allows for physical and digital games. This is the most recommended because you can buy cheaper second-hand games.
• PS5 Digital: online games only. The console is cheaper, but games are usually more expensive.
• PS5 Slim: newer version, smaller and with lower power consumption.
• PS5 Pro: more powerful version, better graphics and better performance (ideal for 4K televisions).

How many GB should a PS5 have?

PS5s usually have 825 GB or 1 TB, and this is very important because games take up a lot of space.

Examples:

• Call of Duty: 150 GB
• GTA: 90 GB
• FIFA: 50 GB

Recommendation:

• Normal use → 825 GB
• If you play a lot → 1 TB
• If you play many games → Better console with expandable storage

PS5 with disc drive or Digital

Most people choose the PS5 with disc drive because:

• You can buy cheaper games
