The removable drive is slick

The optical drive in the new PS5 looks even more pronounced now. The Digital Edition is impressively slim compared to the previous version.

Yeah, the version with the optical drive looks even worse, IMO, now. The DE looks nice though.

Also, no change in price which is as expected.

It was increased. The digital got a $50 price hike.

Oh dang, I didn't even notice. So, I was also somewhat correct in that the new slim version might actually see an increase in price.

Support of 4K 120Hz TVs, 8K TVs

What? They really do want that class action lawsuit against them?

You're paying a premium ($80/£100/€120) to add the optical hump later, but at least it's an option. $30 for the vertical stand. Is that needed with the current model?

Top half gloss, bottom half matte. Weird. $55 for different colored shells. Will they maintain the gloss/matte split, or will you get only luxurious matte for your $55?

See How the PS5 Slim Compares Side-by-Side With the Launch Version and Xbox - IGN

Sony has officially announced that slimmer versions of the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition will be arriving just in time for the holidays, and we're here to see not only how they compare to the launch PS5s but also to the Xbox Series X/S.

Reduced to the the size of a normal launch console.

Isn't that the previous price increase that never hit the US? It's not increased worldwide, just NA where the price has been proportionally lower for a year or so.

 

[orangpelupa]

with how sony keeps hiking their pricing (console, subs, games) and nickel and dimming their players (the vertical stand is sold separateely!) seems they are pretty confident they have won the market.

Yes that $399 price tag in US was still an anomaly.

Sony were like: "do we really need that $399 min price for PR marketing thingy in US?"
and Jimbo probably answered "My retirement bonuses require a $449 minimum price even in US"

 

[fehu]

Imho at 599 it would have still sold like hotcakes

 

[orangpelupa]

btw anyone know where can i read sony's money? like... does they still shed money like gutted boar, with only life insurance and PS division keeping everyone afloat, or its much better now?

maybe that's why they try to bleed the gamers dry.

btw this new PS5 sllim is weird. some regions missed its launch. for example, my region still didnt have ps5 slim announced, and also no pricing info

When someone posted the leak of the smaller, slitted model earlier in this thread, I was convinced we wouldn't see a removable disc drive. I'm glad to see I was wrong.

Hopefully this same disc drive will be compatible with the Pro.
