Problems with Playstation 4 Pro, very refusing to deal with it.

I purchased a PS4 pro in Feb 2017 from Very. I have recently noticed that some games crash and freeze on it. So I want to return it to them and receive a fully working replacement.
I know this is a hardware issue as the games that freeze work perfectly on other consoles. I have tried rebooting my PS4 to default factory settings and still the problem persists.
Very are refusing to do this and have given me a contact number for Sony, to arrange sometime to come to home and look at the console and fix if possible. If not they'll take it away and look at it, with a view to replacing it.
I believe this is wrong and that it is Very that need to deal with the return.
I love the product and just want a working console. I don't want a refund.
Can anyone advise?

Very have a responsibility to either repair refund or replace the console in the first 6 months unless they can prove it's a manufacturing defect - but it is at their discretion as to which they do. In this case they are wanting to go down the route of a repair and are asking you to book it in with Sony, if you want to drag your feet and ask Very to do it then you have every right to, but it may be easier to arrange it with Sony first.0

Very are also allowed to use an agent to carry out the diagnosis and repair, in this case the manufacturer Sony, you probably could ty to insist that they deal with it but it will take a lot longer than if you just go directly to Sony.0

There was a word missing.
The seller (or their agent - Sony in this case) are allowed one attempt at repair. If the fault still exists (or returns) after repair then OP can reject the goods for a full refund (within 6 months from purchase/receipt - after 6 months the seller can reduce the amount of refund for usage, but it would be a churlish seller that did this within the first year).0 -

Thanks for your responses, appreciated.
I have sent the Pro back to Sony and have contacted Very to let them know. I have yet to hear from Very with the next steps.
I'm a little confused as to what my rights are now. Ultimately I want a fully working PS4 Pro - to my mind this means brand new. I'm loathe to have a faulty one that is fixed - which to my mind makes it more likely to have problems further down the line.
This was purchased 10th of Feb, what are my consumer rights in terms of a replacement or full refund?0 -

What legislation (specific parts of legislation) should I be quoting to Bery to achieve this?
I guess there is some sort of manufacturer default as the console keeps hard crashing and resetting itself - so does that mean I'm not entitled to a replacement or refund?0 -

Here it is again:Very have a responsibility to either repair refund or replace the console in the first 6 months unless they can prove it's [not] a manufacturing defect - but it is at their discretion as to which they do.
Post#4 expands on that:The seller (or their agent - Sony in this case) are allowed one attempt at repair. If the fault still exists (or returns) after repair then OP can reject the goods for a full refund (within 6 months from purchase/receipt - after 6 months the seller can reduce the amount of refund for usage, but it would be a churlish seller that did this within the first year).0 -
