PlayStation Direct Now Lets You Rent, Yes Rent, a PS5 From £11.99 a Month
PlayStation Direct has introduced a rental service in the UK, allowing customers to lease various PlayStation hardware including the PS5, PS5 Pro, and PS Portal for monthly fees. The service, provided by Raylo, offers flexible leasing terms ranging from 12 to 36 months, with the option of a rolling monthly contract. While this presents a more affordable way to access gaming hardware, consumers should be aware that they will not own the equipment at the end of the rental term.
- This rental model could democratize access to gaming technology, appealing to a broader audience who may be deterred by high upfront costs, and potentially altering the purchasing landscape in the gaming industry.
- What implications could this rental approach have for future gaming hardware sales and the broader consumer market in the gaming sector?
