This open box 1TB Sony PS5 with disc drive can land as a solid way to get the slim model for far less than new, especially when an Excellent unit is available for shipping or pickup. The console has arrived working fine for some orders, and the disc, 1TB version is a useful upgrade path for existing PS5 owners who want more storage or a second system. Condition is the main risk, though, with reports of missing stands, damaged shells, broken clips, failed power, crashes, and units that turn off after a short time. It is a deal that rewards close inspection and patience.
Gamers wanting a disc-drive PS5 for storage expansion, because the slim 1TB model can serve as a current console or a storage upgrade for an existing PS5.
Condition is highly variable: some open-box PS5s arrive looking and working fine, while others show heavy dents, missing clips, broken cover mounts, or fail to boot. Open-box Excellent can still be missing the stand or accessories, so in-person inspection or an easy return matters.
Shipping depends on local stock and the store handling the order, so availability can change by area and some units may ship from farther away. Checking repeatedly can pay off because an item that shows unavailable can later appear as shippable.
Reported out-the-door prices ranged from about $405 for an Open-Box Excellent unit with free shipping to $443 after tax and e-waste fees. The console is the slim 1TB disc version, which was noted as a strong value versus a $650 new price.
The GabeBox really got dragged through the mud, despite being from a decent company with a decent guy at the helm. the best intentions are no match for colluding memory chip companies and AI hyperscalers...Now it's a dalliance that only influencers and reviewers will buy 😭.
Looks like Sony and Co will get their pound of flesh from subscriptions...
I can appreciate what they are trying to do with Steam Machine. If games are made to run great on those modest specs, everyone probably benefits.
And hopefully these elevated prices can't continue forever. Maybe things change down the road and the box gets back into the $700ish zone where it was meant to be.
Jokes aside you can't even pre-order one since it requires your steam account to have made a purchase before April 2026 and that only gets you a chance to be entered into the raffle, which already closed
The initial raffle has closed however you still get put on a list that if chosen gives yoh 72 hours to purchase it.I'm on the list but may hild out for the steam frame since my quest 3 sits in a backpack collecting dust.
update on the "excellent" condition one I ordered earlier this week. Just got delivered and
1. Missing horizontal stand clips
2. Has huge huge dents and scratches on cover plates. When opening box plates were not even attached to the system.
3. Some of the clip openings the cover plates go into are broken
4. When the system was running for over 30 seconds it got all speckled video output
Sadly this thing was clearly dropped and plain doesn't work. Will have to return. Really disappointed.
...also need to now return the 2 games I also just ordered.
I went to pick it up for 400 and it turns off after a bit of playing.
Can you exchange? If not and you wanna try fixing it before returning it, you could try replacing the thermal compound as that might be the cause of the shutdown.
I bought a "fair" yesterday. Returned it today. I was able to get through setup, download and install 2 games. Both games i tried crashed a minute or two after starting them. I tried 5 different times. Junk!

Bought an excellent condition unit. It arrived yesterday and came missing accessories, no box, barely any bubble wrap bouncing around in a beat up box. Wouldn't turn on. Returning it Monday. What a waste of my time. Going to avoid buying used things from Best Buy from now on. I was sort of amazed how little shipping protection they used. 1/3 of the console wasn't even covered with a single layer of bubble wrap. Yeesh.

The open-box listing can deliver a slim disc 1TB PS5 at a lower out-the-door price than new.
Some shipped open-box units arrive cosmetically good and function normally after delivery.
Stock availability can change quickly, so daily checking may eventually surface an Open-Box Excellent option for shipping.
The console can serve as a current PS5 or as a way to update or expand storage on an existing PS5.
Best Buy open-box PS5 units can arrive with heavy damage or signs of rough handling.
Open-box condition ratings can still come with missing accessories or inadequate packaging protection.
Some units fail to power on or show severe video issues shortly after running.
Open-box Fair units can cause game crashes soon after launch, leading to returns.
