PS5 Slim!

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.

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.

I'm surprised I haven't seen anybody mention how this is a price increase for the digital version. This one costs $50 more.

Not only did they increase the price, but they reduced the quantity too! Classic corpo move

Shrinkflation! Sony should be ashamed...

Because is not like the previous digital version, now they are the same but there is an option that includes the CD Drive and one that doesn't include it but can be purchased separately in the future (digital version)

[–] Spellinbee@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but if you don't care about the possibility of having physical discs, it's still a price increase.

[–] phillaholic@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

If you don’t care about the possibility of having physical discs, price probably isn’t a large factor to you.

[–] any1th3r3@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

I believe this price increase only applies to the US and Japan (where the Digital SKU is around ¥50,000 atm afaict), as far as what's been announced. UK and EU pricing remains similar to the existing one.

Shrinkflation strikes again
