A console with a box has a higher probability of being looked after better but ultimately it doesn't make much difference if it's not a gift and you're not a collector.

To answer your question though. CeX is hit and miss. Going to store will give you a better chance of finding a good one with less used controller etc.. However you can return an online purchase if in unhappy with cosmetic condition, odour, loud fan etc. 2 year warranty always worth it. New prrice may drop now ps5 is under 400

Built up a big credit note with them through wheeling & dealing i reckon it has cost me so far well under £100 So will be going with CEX to get one. (edited)

I would always go for boxed. Silly as it sounds it probably means the person who sold it probably takes abit of pride In their belongings. If you can go to store you can always inspect it aswell make sure it doesn't stink of cigarettes etc

I would just inspect it in store first if you can, sometimes discounted are surprisingly in good nick and unboxed are not far off a Grade C.
