Sony has brought its hardware rental service to the UK after launching in Japan last month.
For a recurring monthly fee you can get a PS5, PS5 Pro, PS Portal, PSVR2 or DualSense Edge from PlayStation Direct.
But before you rush off to secure some shiny new hardware just remember that even though you could end up paying as much as the hardware would cost to purchase new, you won’t ever own what you rent and must send it back at the end of the agreement.
If you’re still interested in paying to borrow a console from Sony prices start at £11.99 per month for a PS5 Slim on a 3 year agreement. With PS5 Pro and PSVR2 costing more than £18 per month for a 3 year rental.
If you’re in need of a new console or expensive accessory but can’t stump up the cash in one go, and are a UK resident I would suggest you look at buying it from Very and taking advantage of their Buy Now Pay Later offer. As long as you pay off the purchase within 12 months not only do you get to keep the device as it’s yours but you pay any interest.
Plus they have PS5 Pro and Disc Drive bundles in stock.
Will you be renting a PlayStation or accessory from Sony?
