Is this PS5 worth €180? (Unstable / weird issues)

Tech Support

Hey everyone,

I came across a PS5 Disc Edition for €180, but it has some issues and I’m not sure if it’s worth the risk. I’m planning to repair it if possible.

What still works:

– The console turns on normally

– The disc drive works and reads games

– Navigating through the menu is smooth

What’s the issue:

– The console is unpredictable

– Sometimes games or apps (like Crunchyroll) won’t load

– The menu shows strange glitches (e.g. “Turn off PS5” option disappearing)

Condition:

– Looks good externally

– Technically unstable

I was wondering:

– What could be causing this? (SSD, software, overheating, motherboard?)

– Is this worth €180, or too risky?

Thanks in advance 🙏
