I’m considering buying a used standard PS5 disc version for 320 EUR but I’m torn. Should I go for the used standard model or opt for a used slim version instead? I have a couple of questions: 1) Is the standard PS5 still capable of handling current games well, or is it outdated? 2) What key things should I inspect before buying a used PS5?

I’ve heard from some people that the original PS5 model had overheating issues, but I’m not sure if it was just the early batches. If you’re worried, the PS5 Slim might be a safer bet.
Honestly, I’d be careful with a used PS5. While the model itself is still great, you can’t be sure if it has any hidden defects unless you run it through some demanding games for a while. Plus, if you connect an account to PSN, there’s a chance it could be console banned.
I’ve had the standard PS5 for nearly three years now and I think it’s definitely worth it, but it all comes down to the specific condition of the one you’re looking at. It can handle the latest games like a champ! Just remember to check important stuff like the liquid metal, cables, ports, and the fan.
The standard PS5 disc version is a solid choice! Physical disks can actually save you money since they’re often cheaper than digital copies. Just make sure you check its condition closely before buying.
