## What to weigh

Every PS5 game runs on every PS5 model. The Pro adds a stronger GPU for higher resolution and frame rates in games that ship a Pro-enhanced mode; it does not unlock any game the Slim can't play.

The Pro has no disc drive. If you own or buy physical games, add the price of the add-on drive (tracked in the table) to the Pro's price before you compare it with the Slim disc edition.

The digital Slim is the cheapest way into the platform, but it can't play discs unless you add the same add-on drive later.

Asking prices on eBay are what sellers want, not what buyers paid. Sort by price, check the condition and the seller's feedback, and treat any Pro far below the tracked low as a red flag.
