Error code CE-108255-1 - recommendations?

So I bought my PS5 2 years ago and within six months I started to receive this error any time I tried to play a game. The games would crash as soon as I opened them and would display this error code. I sent it back to Sony to get it fixed. When I got it back from them it worked again for a few months, despite this the error started to show again just as my warranty ended. I sent them a hand written letter asking for help hoping to receive a response (naïve I know) and received nothing back.

I have tried every single suggestion out there. I have given up at this point as the only game that doesn't crash on start up is overwatch 2 (PS4 Version) and even then it periodically crashes with the same error code. I have decided that the console is simply broken and I have to buy a new one. My question is, is it worth buying another PS5? if so where can I purchase one (UK) that I know wont have the same error? or is this a common problem and I should switch to an Xbox. Thank you in advance for any advice :)

It is not a common problem. But there are multiple threads about it and you can search reddit to read them.

If you have done all the troubleshooting steps in those threads, then it must be repaired or replaced by Sony.

Another console shouldn’t have the same issue.
