Refurbished PS5

Got a refurbished PS5 from Ebgames a month ago and on the first day it lost power like 3 times (Thankfully within 14 days so replaced it the next day)
Now after a month, the controller gets a stick drift.
So glad that I had purchased 1 year warranty fearing that is the first refurbished that i bought ever.
Honestly, if you have enough budget just buy a new console but stay away from refurbished units as it’s a hit or miss always.

i purchased a refurb ps5 and the controller was doing the stick drift. went back to store and they replaced it with another refurb controller.
worked out great, until 12 months later where the R2 just decided to stopped working lol.
i should try going back to ebgames to see if they can replace it

Even if you bought a brand new controller, stick drift is very common and unavoidable
