PS5 accessories
Sony unveiled a line of accessories to accompany the PS5 at its official reveal event. These include a DualSense charging station, wireless headset, media remote, and camera. Like the PS5 design itself, there all feature a two-tone black and white color scheme.
These will also hit store shelves on the same date at the following prices:
- DualSense Wireless Controller (standalone) – US$69.99/¥6,980/€69.99 (RRP)
- PULSE 3D wireless headset – with 3D audio support and dual noise-cancelling microphones US$99.99/¥9,980/€99.99 (RRP)

- DualSense Charging Station – to conveniently charge two DualSense Wireless Controllers US$29.99/¥2,980/€29.99 (RRP)
Which PS5 should I buy?
Along with the accessories, Sony revealed that a PS5 Digital Edition is being made as well. As its name suggests, you can’t use normal discs with it. Instead all media will need to be downloaded to its SDD. This is similar to Microsoft’s Xbox One S All-Digital Edition.
According to comments made by Sony’s Jim Ryan to CNET, the only difference between the consoles is the disc drive.
As you saw, there is a small difference in the form factor of the two consoles. I’m sure you also observed, the basic design aesthetic is consistent between them. So there is that and the fact that the digital edition does not have a disk drive. That is it. Other than that, they are identical products.
Which console you then buy comes down to a matter of preference. Do you sometimes buy physical discs and do you have physical PS4 games you’d like to play on your PS5? If the answer is no, you’ll probably want the PS5 Digital Edition.
How does the PS5 compare to the Xbox Series X?
The PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition are shipping with the same specs, meaning you’re getting a 3.5GHz CPU, a 10.28 TFLOP GPU with 36 CUs at 2.23GHz, and an 825GB SSD. You can look forward to nearly non-existent load times, 4K at 60FPS gaming, and ray-tracing support. The DualSense controller is packed with adaptive triggers and features haptic feedback to make your gaming experience more immersive than ever. At least, that’s the hope Sony has.
Microsoft recently revealed its Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S for $499 and $299, respectively. Both will be available for preorder starting on September 22 ahead of their November 10th release date. The company is offering a financing option called Xbox All Access that’ll get you an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S bundled with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $35/month or $25/month over two years.
