This is a scheme to control the used console market so they can set their own prices. Hopefully people actually selling their own consoles and undercut them

How would this control people selling their used hardware? I don't see anything about Sony trying to disable resold consoles.

you'll get "a product that works like new with genuine PlayStation replacement parts (as needed) that has been thoroughly cleaned, inspected and tested". You will receive all the cables and paperwork you need for a PS5, and it comes with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty

That's worth a premium to some people.

Okay the 12 month warranty is pretty good not going to lie

i mean they've been doing refurbished consoles for multiple generations now, no? The only new thing is that they're selling them directly from Sony's site, rather than going through GameStop like they used to back in the day.
