Popular Post Sailar91 Posted October 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) As the holiday season approaches, we are excited to share that we have a new PS5 model launching. To address the evolving needs of players, our engineering and design teams collaborated on a new form factor that provides greater choice and flexibility. The same technology features that make PS5 the best to play are packed into a smaller form factor, along with an attachable Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive and a 1TB SSD for more internal storage. The new PS5 has been reduced in volume by more than 30%, and weight by 18% and 24% compared to the previous models. There are four separate cover panels, with the top portion in a glossy look, while the bottom remains in matte. If you purchase the PS5 Digital Edition, you can add the Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive for PS5 later, as it will also be sold separately for 79.99 USD | 119.99 EURO | 99.99 GBP | 11,980 JPY. The new PS5 model will be available starting this November in the U.S. at select local retailers and direct.playstation.com where available. It will continue to roll out globally in the following months. Once inventory of the current PS5 model has sold out, the new PS5 will become the only model available. The recommended retail prices for the new PS5 model are as follows beginning with the rollout in November at participating retailers. U.S. PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – 499.99 USD PS5 Digital Edition – 449.99 USD Europe PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – 549.99 EUR PS5 Digital Edition – 449.99 EUR U.K. PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – 479.99 GBP PS5 Digital Edition – 389.99 GBP Japan PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – 66,980 JPY (includes tax) PS5 Digital Edition – 59,980 JPY (includes tax) A horizontal stand will be included with the new PS5 model. Also a new Vertical Stand compatible with all PS5 models will be sold separately at 29.99 USD | 29.99 EURO | 24.99 GBP | 3,980 JPY. We are ten days away from the launch of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, with additional games including Alan Wake 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 launching shortly after. With these fantastic games coming, in addition to recent releases such as EA Sports FC 24, Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, and Baldur’s Gate 3, there’s plenty for gamers to play on PS5 this holiday season.

GothGirlMaxine Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I'm personally happy with my launch PS5. I'd probably like the new design better if the top half wasn't glossy. Still, nice that people can have more flexibility in case they decide to add a disc drive to the digital edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRetroManiac Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Nah, this does not do anything for me, I will stick with my launch PS5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Overlord Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I'm happy for this model, the disc drive is always the thing that fails on my consoles. Being able to easily switch it out is a god send 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyZero Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I never realized that a Blu-ray disc drive costs twice as much in europe as it does in the U.S.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sendai-Horatio Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I wonder if you will eventually be able to mix the 3 cover plates and the one disc drive plate? Especially if they have themed versions and you could have the console exterior display art from 4 different games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk_lp_him Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I'll wait for this one, the 1 tb ssd is always better. It's not exactly slim but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 @Sailar91 Can you please fix your post? All the text is black making it really difficult to read on Dark Mode. The new forum layout has an "Automatic" text which changes between Black and White depending on what mode the user is using. Personally, I may need to see this in a more personal video or something, but it looks kinda cheap to me. Like one of those Chinese knockoff consoles that's shaped like a PS5, but it just has a bunch of rom dumps on it. I've always loved the look of the original PS5, as gargantuan as it is...so this would only be something I looked at if I needed a new one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zizimonster Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Why would they raise the PS5 Digital Edition price three years into the the generation? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSkill Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Will you buy it? No, keep waiting for pro version. But the new model is better, if the BD drive dead just buy a new one to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Will wait for the possible Pro model if I'm ever to buy another PS5 but I dig this design, looks sleeker and I like that you can choose to attach a drive or not. I wonder if that will be the case for the Pro model if/ when it comes about? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeTheGooner Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 my ps5 is still completely fine, no need to change right now and spend more money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mephisto3dg Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 i actually like the original model more and using it vertically the massive size is not a problem in my case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helyx Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Looks cute, and the modular drive is a neat tactic. Hopefully my launch PS5 last a long time and I don't need to worry about purchasing one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecnal1 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Finally the slim version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidVictorious Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) This is definitely a pass for me. Frankly, this it how the first model should have been designed. I’m definitely not paying twice for what I think we all deserved in the first place. @Sailar91 Thanks for changing the text so that the dark mode folks can read it! That was very helpful! 😊 Edited October 10, 2023 by VoidVictorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Launch PS5 comes with a stand that can be used vertically, but now you gotta pay for one separately. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katt Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 My dude, I just purchased one 2 weeks ago. I regret nothing. But the slim version completely replacing the old one on the market is kinda concerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realize that because I don’t use light mode. Obviously I was just thanking the OP for helping dark mode users. I didn’t know it hurt you and others in the process. I believe he/she was responding to an earlier posted request. I guess no matter the intent, someone sometimes loses.

ASMODAIOS344 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 So 120€ for the optical drive!! Sony Interactive always come with the stupid pricing, first the 50€ increase of PS5 price and now this. Certainly it's due to inflammation again 😁.
