PlayStation Introduces Console Rental Program for UK

To enhance the inclusivity of the PS5 gaming experience, Sony appears to have partnered with Raylo, a company based in the UK. This partnership makes it possible for individuals to rent a PS5 through the PlayStation Direct UK website. The rental scheme, known as Flex, enables users to lease a PS5, starting at £10.99 per month for the Digital Edition console model.

1. “The rental choices include: a disc drive model of the sleek PS5 for £11.99 a month, a two-controller version of the digital slim PS5 for £13.49 a month, and a PS5 Pro for £18.95 per month.”

2. “You can rent: the disc drive version of the slender PS5 at £11.99 monthly, a set of two controllers with the digital slim PS5 for £13.49 per month, or a PS5 Pro for £18.95 each month.”

3. “Among the rental options are: the disc drive version of the svelte PS5 priced at £11.99/month, a two-controller package with the digital slim PS5 for £13.49/month, and the PS5 Pro for £18.95/month.”

Each of these options presents the information in a clear and concise manner while still maintaining the original meaning.

You can also find Flex plans applicable to PS5 add-ons, such as DualSense controllers and the PlayStation Portal. For instance, you can rent out a DualSense controller at a monthly rate of £7.99, while the regular PlayStation VR2 version goes for £18.49 per month, or £19.99 per month for the “Horizon Call of the Mountain” bundle. Lastly, the PlayStation Portal is offered at £6.49 per month.

Based on Sony’s statement, individuals enrolled in the Flex program can choose to pay for leasing a PS5 or its add-ons on a monthly basis, providing them the convenience to terminate the lease at any point. Additionally, there are options available for long-term leases of up to 36 months, which include 12, 24, and 36 month plans. Selecting one of these longer terms results in a reduced monthly rental cost for the systems.

The leased consoles and accessories also include a lifetime warranty.

It is important to understand that when a user opts for a long-term subscription, they do not actually own the hardware they are leasing. In fact, The Standard points out that terminating one of these long-term leases after the initial 14 days will result in cancellation fees, which are determined by the duration of the lease itself.

Starting this month, Sony lowered the cost of their PlayStation VR2 headset from its initial price of $549.99 to a more affordable $399.99. The PlayStation VR2 “Horizon Call of the Mountain” package is also available at the same price point.
