The PS5 arrived in November 2020 and since then it has been out of stock: between its immediate success and the difficulties of production, it is most of the time not found, and when it is back, it is always with limited stocks.
The shortage, which should continue for a few more months, Sony having revised its production objectives downwards for the year 2022, affects both models.
The Standard Edition, at 499 euros, and the Digital Edition, at 399 euros, are both very, very hard to find.
If you wonder what is the difference between the two, know that it is only in the presence or not of a blu-ray player;
It's up to you to decide, depending on your budget and your internet connection, the Digital version requiring you to download your games from the Playstation Store.
