The PS5 holds strong resale value in Montreal, especially Slim and Pro models and disc editions. Bring yours with its controller: we test it in front of you — video output, fan, ports — and make a same-day offer. A PS5 with an added M.2 NVMe expansion SSD under the side cover, both DualSense controllers or its original box adds to the offer.
What we check on a PS5
We plug the console in and test the HDMI output — the HDMI port is the most common PS5 failure (bent pin, no picture). We listen to the fan (noise, dust, whine from aging liquid metal), check the disc drive on Standard editions, the DualSense controller (stick drift, adaptive triggers), the USB ports, and that the console has been deactivated as your primary console.
A PS5 improperly shut down from rest mode can show database corruption: we rebuild and test, but a history of instability is noted at evaluation.
Broken or faulty PS5 — we still evaluate it
Damaged HDMI port, no video signal, startup beeps, stuck disc drive, won't power on, liquid damage: we evaluate everything. The HDMI port and disc drive are known repairs, so a faulty PS5 keeps real value. Don't attempt a repair before selling — the cost often exceeds the gain.
Which PS5s we buy
Every revision: PS5 Standard (disc drive), Digital Edition, Slim (disc and Digital) and PS5 Pro. We also buy DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers, Pulse headsets, wheels and accessories separately. A second controller, the vertical stand or the original box raise the offer.
How to prepare your PS5 before selling
1. Deactivate the console as your primary console (Settings → Users and Accounts → Other → Console Sharing and Offline Play → Disable) or remotely via account.sony.com. 2. Back up saves to the cloud or a USB drive. 3. Reset: Settings → System → Reset Your Console. 4. Remove any disc and bring the controller plus the power cable. We can do these steps with you in store.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to deactivate my PS5 as primary console before selling?
Yes, that's the key step. Deactivate it in Settings → Users and Accounts → Console Sharing, or remotely at account.sony.com. Without it, the buyer can't set it as theirs. We check this and can do it with you in store.
My PS5 shows no picture (HDMI port) — do you buy it?
Yes. The HDMI port is the most common PS5 failure and a known repair, so the console keeps real value even with no video output. Bring it as-is for a free evaluation.
Do you buy PS5 controllers and accessories separately?
Yes: DualSense, DualSense Edge, Pulse headset, wheels and stands. A working extra controller raises the offer on the console, or sells on its own.
Is the Digital PS5 worth less than the disc version?
Usually a bit less, since the disc edition draws more buyers (physical and used games). Both keep good value — we evaluate by exact edition and condition.
I have a PS5 Slim — does the detachable disc drive matter when selling?
Yes. The Slim's disc drive clips off and pairs to the console online, so a Slim missing its drive loses disc playback and 4K Blu-ray. Bring the drive and its cover if you have them — it keeps the console complete and adds to the offer.
