What is the difference between PS5 Disc and Digital editions?

PS5 Disc PS5 Digital Physical disc games Yes No Internet required to play No Yes Buy/sell/lend games Yes No The Digital Edition saves money upfront but locks you into PlayStation Store purchases only. If you own physical PS4 discs you want to keep playing, choose the Disc edition. Back Market has PS5 Digital consoles starting at $435.

What is the difference between the PS5 Slim and original PS5?

Original PS5 PS5 Slim Storage 825 GB 1 TB Size Larger ~30% smaller Disc drive (Digital) Fixed, no option to add Can add detachable drive Performance Identical Identical Starting price on BM $435 $420 The gaming experience is exactly the same on both. The Slim wins on size and storage, and its Digital Edition has the option to add a disc drive separately. The original PS5 can be the better value pick if the price gap is significant, but if you find similar pricing, then the Slim is worth it. Both come with a 1-year warranty on Back Market.

Can you play PS4 games on PS5?

Yes. The PS5 is backwards compatible with the vast majority of PS4 titles. Physical PS4 discs work on any PS5 with a disc drive. Digital PS4 games transfer via your PlayStation Network account. A small number of PS4 titles are excluded; Sony maintains the full compatibility list on its website.

Can you use a PS4 controller on PS5?

Yes, but only for PS4 games. A DualShock 4 works on PS5 for all PS4-native titles. For PS5-native games, you need the DualSense. The DualSense cannot be used on PS4 in return. If you already own a DualShock 4, you won't need to buy a new controller to access your PS4 library on a refurbished PS5.

Can you connect AirPods to a PS5?

Not natively. The PS5 doesn't support standard Bluetooth audio pairing. To use AirPods, you need a USB Bluetooth adapter. Headphones with a 3.5mm jack plug directly into the DualSense controller. Sony's own wireless headsets pair via the included USB dongle.

How much does a refurbished PS5 cost?

Refurbished PS5 consoles on Back Market start from $435, giving you the same hardware at a lower price than new. Every unit passes up to a 100-point professional inspection and comes with a 1-year warranty and 30 days to change your mind.

My PS5 was received as advertised in excellent condition. There was a small issue with the HDMI cable but the Backmarket folks were right on top of it! This is my 2nd purchase & I've been highly satisfied both times. I highly recommend Backmarket when you want to save money & have confidence in your purchase.

I bought a PS5 and an extra controller as a birthday gift for my son, and he absolutely loves it. The console arrived with all the necessary cables and accessories, perfectly packaged. No dents, scratches, or dings — it honestly looks brand new! I’ve purchased many items from BackMarket, and every experience has been top-notch. If you want to save a few bucks without sacrificing quality, this is hands-down the best bang for your buck. I’m already looking forward to my next purchase!

It was a nice surprise to see the console and accessories came in the original box! Fantastic purchase as I am a huge advocate for reusable tech to contribute less to e-waste and extend the life of all tech. Everything works like new and I'm currently blasting through God of War: Ragnarok! Beautiful game!

It works perfectly, it was in near to prime condition untouched without a spec of dust nor scratch and it works perfectly with no lagged, no slowed down movements and no loud fan as well as it does not over hear nor get anywhere near as hot as well as it has the TB of space, worth the cost

console itself was great. The controllers triangle, square, circle, and X buttons were a little tough to push. so definitely not normal, but backmarket has one of the best customer service teams I've experienced. They responded quickly and resolved the issue. so for that I will continue to buy my used tech from them. well done

I did receive the ps5 basically as mentioned in “good” quality but i ordered the 1tb of storage and i got 500 and something not even 850 or the less amount of storage Sony could make for a ps5 so it’s just that otherwise everything looks good…
