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.

Not sure about that, the disc drive doesn't look removable in the picture

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

The drive appears to attach to the side and they have a side panel cover it up. So with the side panel on, it wouldn't look detachable.

Ah, that makes sense

Looks like the disc drive is now part of the face plate, not the actual PS5 and can be swapped out

Yes, that's exactly what it is.

Thanks for the confirmation! From a manufacturing standpoint, this is a huge design win for Sony. Should have been like this from the start
