The arrival of Black Friday should not help. That being said, there are a few tricks to getting yourself a coveted PS5, whether it’s the digital or standard version.
PS5: what are the differences between the digital version and the standard version?
The Playstation 5 exists in 2 formats. We find the Standard version and the Digital version. Since there is a digital version, does this mean that the standard version is analog and therefore of lower quality? They’re not here. The term Digital refers to the mode of acquisition of your games. Here are some explanations.
The 2 editions of the PS 5 have the same microprocessor and the same graphics card. If the power is strictly equivalent, the Standard edition of PS5 has a 4K UHD Blue-Ray player that the Digital version does not. This detail explains the price difference between the 2 models since the Standard version costs 499 euros while the Digital version only costs 399 euros.

This small difference has a direct impact on the management of your games. In fact, since the Digital version does not have a player, you have to download your games after purchasing them. In the case of the Standard version, your games come in a physical format that allows you to resell them once you’ve finished them.

e-commerce offers it to you. Do not hesitate to follow the social networks related to the topic.
When possible, add the PS5 to your cart, taking care to fill in your delivery address and bank information to validate your purchase with a simple click as soon as the game console is available. Remember that responsiveness is key. Nothing prevents you from repeating the operation on several sites and do not neglect the lesser-known online sales platforms. If possible, use this method on a computer instead of a laptop. This allows you to create one tab per site that you can update much more easily. Most deliveries are made in the morning. Also, take extra care to update your tabs during this period rather than at night.
Finally, although it is not official, it seems that Amazon favors its Amazon Prime members and gives priority to the game console as soon as it is available.
