Sony Interactive Entertainment is revamping the look of the PlayStation 5 this November with a smaller, lighter version of the console. In addition to a slimmer form factor, SIE also revealed the Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive add-on for the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition — the console without a built-in Blu-ray drive.

 

Sony’s new slimmed-down PS5 model has been “reduced in volume by more than 30%, and weight by 18% and 24% compared to the previous models,” according to the company. The notoriously tall PS5 is now slightly shorter by 33 mm (1.25 inches), and slightly narrower, by 44 mm (1.73 inches). In terms of weight, the revised standard PS5 model is losing 1.3 kg (about 3 pounds).

At this point, it's just a cash grab. It took so long for most people to secure the initial PS5.

It’s literally the same console.

This isn’t for the ones that already have one. It’s mostly for Sony to have less production costs tbh

I'll buy it if Naughty Dog announces their standalone The Last Of Us: Multiplayer (Factions 2) game. Otherwise give me death.

Demon's Souls remake, it was the first game I got for my PS5. Absolutely gorgeous.

It somehow looks more disproportionate with the disc drive serving Kim K’s ass and skinny thighs.

I was kind of hoping they’d change the design. There’s no reason for me to replace my regular PS5 with this as it looks and functions the same.

It is so worth it. The quality of life improvement over the PS4 is unbelievable. 

Plus there's Final Fantasy 16 :1stplace:

Y’all saying it looks the same are missing the point :deadbanana4: This is not a DSi or PS4Pro. It’s not a mid cycle hardware upgrade to entice consumers to double dip. It’s literally to Sony’s benefit to reduce production costs because of cheaper components and smaller and lighter packaging. “Why didn’t they just launch with it” - because in the years since new hardware launches, we get better at minimizing the tech. As if none of y’all saw ps2 slim, ps3 slim, wii mini, etc. :swan:

Good to know. My main last generation was the Xbox One and I was not happy with it. Awful system. Can’t wait to be back in the PlayStation ecosystem with Spider-Man 2. :keir:

Exactly. People wondering why they should buy this if they already have the original...this isn't for you :rip:

I kind of just wanted them to change the design. Like the point of Slim was never to replace the main one in terms of power and tech but usually it would look more modern and better in my opinion.

Glad I haven’t got one yet then, I was waiting for the slim model.

she's cute in slim but I'm a stick with my big body model.

I might snatch one :kitty:
