Lol sony going digital only edition !

 

[London Geezer]

They showed it! Weird as fuck! I like it? I’m not sure?

 

[eastmen]

Wow, that’s a bold design choice. I’m being nice. Hope it’s quiet and also comes in gray steel.

DIGITAL EDITION!?

makes sense , physical is dying .

 

[cheapchips]

Digital or humpback edition?

 

[BRiT]

So they made a genuine PS5: Digital Edition without Optical UHD drive? That must be to get the cost down another $50 so they look better when they have to list the price.

 

[eastmen]

is it vertical only ?

 

[BRiT]

DIGITAL EDITION!? That has to hint at a high base price, right?

That must be so they can list at $50 less when they start showing the price?

I think revealing a white console with a white background is a mistake. But looks nice, at least is not "box".

There was a frame where it was on the side too

The Digital Edition likely $400 to hit the sweet spot, while the version with the optical drive hits $450.

Agreed. It made it tougher to see the real form factor. Looking forward to photos and tear down and acoustic footprints.

depends on what you want . A black box goes into my entertainment system and disappears like my fire tv cube and my cable box . This sony thing is going to stick out like a sore thumb , thankfully if I did buy I would avoid the disk drive edition

It scream modern futuristic, i love it, i want one just for the design

 

[manux]

I'll probably go digital only model. I didn't buy any games on disc for ps4. Also one less moving part that can break so that's also potentially good.

edit:

Apparently you can't set it horizontally, both sides are curved one way or another?
edit2: or is the left side straight enough?

 

[eastmen]

seriously I don't think it can lay flat ?

That surprised me. But I suppose it's an easy way to get a chunk of dollars cheaper than the XSX whilst securing a gamer who will be more profitable than one who can buy physical media.

Personally, I'll be going with the version with an ODD.

I wonder how many more digital copies of GTAV it's going to result in?

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Looks like Sony went even more outside the AV cabinet.

 

[Arwin]

I actually love the new design. I’m secretly hoping though that the white panels are face plates that can be replaced with custom stuff. It would make some sense ... .

Also GT7 made me realize how nice it will be to have no load times in that game. And they did some great fan service with bringing back some old favorites like Deep Forest with great sunlight effects, which the old PS2 version had too, was amazing for its time.
