CEX under fire from customers and staff for eye-watering £815 PlayStation 5 price
High street trade-in giant CEX has come under fire for its £815 pre-owned PlayStation 5 price – a vastly inflated figure compared to the console’s standard £450 RRP.
A quick check of CEX stores local to Eurogamer’s Brighton office suggests there’s a decent amount of pre-owned PS5 stock available in the chain. But customers and even members of the chain’s own shop staff have expressed distaste at the pricing.
Brand new PS5 consoles are essentially sold out in the UK at the moment, although Sony has said more shipments will arrive before the end of the year.
In the meantime, eBay is doing a roaring trade – if you can avoid the scams. And CEX currently pays out £650 cash – a full £200 more than the console’s RRP – to encourage you to sell a PS5 to the company.
