Eliminate the dilemma, these are the decisions that can be taken before switching to the PlayStation 5

Regardless of the platform, the era of the new generation of consoles has never been deserted by gamers around the world. This is especially felt with consoles from the Sony manufacturer, where they managed to bring in an even bigger wave of enthusiasm with the PlayStation 5. The stock availability of the console is currently limited, but Sony continues to be committed to boosting production and providing easier access to purchases.

If you are one of the gamers who are interested but are still unsure about buying it, in this article we have summarized several options that you can take. This article aims to give you a little enlightenment so that you can be more confident in making decisions before buying. Especially because the PlayStation 5 is not a cheap investment and the fact that the console was only released a few months ago.

Buy Immediately When Stock Available

As long as you really want and have a sufficient budget, buying a PS5 when the stock console is available is a very common decision. However, the situation this time is different from previous generations of PlayStation, where Sony is still limiting the production of stock consoles. As a result, until now the PS5 is still a pretty “ghoib” item to be obtained directly at your favorite game store. Currently, there are still many gamers queuing up for their pre-order slots, and it may take longer for PS5 sales to run normally on the market.

One caveat from us is don’t buy the console from hoarders or rogue resellers. Because there may be cases where parents want to buy a PS5 for their child, but they don’t realize that the price to be paid is actually much more expensive than the original.

Waiting for Discount or Price Drop

This decision is usually taken by many gamers who want to save their budget, so patiently waiting until there is a discount is not a wrong decision. It’s just that you need to know that the price of game consoles sometimes takes a long time to get really affordable. For example, the PS4, the console that has been released since 2013 is still pegged at a fairly high price. Yes, we also never know when someone can get lucky and get a bonus from an acquaintance who sells the PS5 at a low price.

Waiting for the Cool Limited Edition Version

In order to attract the attention of gamers to buy a console along with the desired game, console manufacturers usually often make their own special sales bundles. Bundles like this are always a target. Because in addition to offering consoles with cool skins or designs, there are also additional games in the sales package as well as other bonuses. Since the PS5 is still being sold in the standard version, it’s no wonder that many gamers are waiting for a cool Limited Edition version.

Awaiting New Edition Release (Slim/Pro)

In addition to the Limited Edition version, it has become a tradition that every PlayStation generation will have a different console edition. We are here to discuss the edition that comes with specifications to various design forms. For example, like the Slim version, which even though it doesn’t have a significant difference in terms of performance, its minimalist design can be a good option for those of you who want to save space. Or it could be the Pro version like on the PS4 which comes with a faster engine performance and supports 4K options. We don’t know what editions Sony will produce for the PS5, so it will be interesting to see what their future experiments will be.

Although it sounds like a very far-fetched plan, it must be admitted that this option must have been felt by a lot of gamers. An example is based on personal experience, which at that time did not have a PS2 to PS3 and could only play at the nearest rental. This is a scenario that many gamers out there are sure to feel. Where they might only be able to have a PlayStation console in the sixth, seventh generation, or so on.

Based on the options above, which one are you currently considering? Or are you even among those who already have a PlayStation 5? Don’t hesitate to give your opinion in the comments column below!
