Unboxing Your Dream PS5: Pay Monthly, Bundles & What to Play First!

Getting your hands on a PS5 is exciting enough, but imagine doing it without a hefty upfront payment or worrying about credit checks. With Gaming On Credit and TrustPay, that dream can become a reality. We offer 0% APR store credit up to £1,200 at Trusty Stores, making that PS5, games, and accessories more accessible than ever.

PS5 on Pay Monthly: How TrustPay Helps

Many of us want the latest tech, but shelling out hundreds of pounds in one go can be a stretch. That's where pay monthly options come in. TrustPay is designed to make these purchases manageable. You get 0% APR, meaning you only pay back the cost of your PS5, with no hidden interest charges. Plus, there are no credit checks, which means a smoother, faster application process. It's about getting you gaming sooner, without financial stress.

Deciding on Your PS5: Disc or Digital?

Before you dive into bundles, a fundamental choice awaits: the PS5 Disc Edition or the PS5 Digital Edition?

* PS5 Disc Edition: This is the traditional model, featuring a Blu-ray disc drive. This means you can buy physical game discs (often found cheaper second-hand!), watch 4K Blu-ray movies, and even play your old PS4 disc games. It typically costs a bit more upfront.
* PS5 Digital Edition: This sleeker, disc-drive-free version relies entirely on digital downloads from the PlayStation Store. It's usually slightly cheaper to buy, but you're tied into digital prices and can't use physical media. Consider your gaming habits and whether you value physical media before making your choice.

PS5 Bundles: Getting More Bang for Your Buck

Once you've picked your console type, look out for bundles. Retailers often package the PS5 with popular games, extra controllers, or accessories at a better overall price than buying everything separately. This is particularly appealing when using a pay monthly plan like TrustPay, as the bundle's total cost is spread out.

Popular bundle items include:

* Must-Have Games: Often includes a blockbuster title like *Spider-Man 2*, *God of War Ragnarök*, or *Hogwarts Legacy*.
* Extra DualSense Controller: Essential for local multiplayer or if you just want a spare when one runs out of charge.
* PS5 Pulse 3D Wireless Headset: For immersive audio that truly brings your games to life.
* Charging Station: Keeps your controllers topped up and tidy.

Always compare the contents of a bundle against buying items individually. You'll often find a decent saving, which makes your pay monthly payments even better value.

Storage Solutions: Why You'll Need More Space

Modern PS5 games are massive. We're talking 100GB+ for many titles! The PS5 comes with a fast 825GB SSD, but only about 667GB of that is actually usable for games after the system software. This fills up fast!

Don't let storage limitations stop your gaming fun. You'll likely want to consider an internal M.2 SSD expansion. The PS5 supports specific PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSDs. Installing one is surprisingly straightforward, and it will dramatically increase your game library capacity. Look for SSDs that meet Sony's recommended specs (typically sequential read speeds of 5,500MB/s or faster and a heatsink).

What Games to Buy First for PS5?

With your new PS5 sorted, the next burning question is: what to play first? Here are a few top recommendations to get you started, showcasing the PS5's power:

* Spider-Man: Miles Morales / Marvel's Spider-Man 2: Stunning visuals, fluid web-slinging, and an engaging story. A fantastic showpiece for the console.
* God of War Ragnarök: An epic cinematic adventure with incredible combat and a gripping narrative. A true masterpiece.
* Astro's Playroom: Pre-installed on every PS5! This isn't just a tech demo; it's a delightful platformer that perfectly showcases the DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Play it first!
* Demon's Souls Remake: If you like a challenge, this visually breathtaking remake of a classic is a true next-gen experience.
* Returnal: A challenging sci-fi roguelike shooter that makes great use of the DualSense and 3D audio.

Also, remember that your PS5 is backwards compatible with almost all PS4 games! So, if you have a backlog, you can dive into those too, often with improved performance.
