This console is the cream of the crop and includes an 825GB SSD and Blu-ray optical drive. Read our PS5 review.

Sony

This is the cheaper digital edition, which has the same specs as the more expensive, including an 825 GB solid-state drive, except it lacks the optical drive. If you have a good broadband connection, it is best to spend your money here. Read our PS5 review.

This is the top console from Microsoft equipped with four times the processing power of the Xbox One. It has a Blu-ray drive, 1TB of solid state storage, and can output in 4K resolution. Read our Xbox Series X review.

This is a step back from the $ 499 Xbox Series X. It all plays the same games, but it’s limited to 1440p resolution, has half the storage (500GB vs.1TB), and lacks the Blu-ray Series X player. Read our Xbox Series S review.
