Steve Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 The size and weight have been reduced, for example, the model with a disc drive is now 358 × 216 x 96mm in size, compared to 390 × 260 × 104mm for the original. The removable side panels are now in 4 parts instead of 2, with the upper panels being glossy and the lower ones being matte. The console will only be sold in white, but you'll be able to buy replacement panels in various colours from Sony. What's kinda cool is that the Blu-Ray drive will be available to buy separately for $80, so if you buy the all-digital version and want to add a Blu-Ray drive to it or your Blu-Ray drive breaks and needs to be replaced, you can. You just remove the lower side panel on one side and the drive just clips into place. That's only an option for these new revisions. There's a new version of the vertical stand, which they are selling separately for $30. That will work with the old PS5 models too. They have also marginally increased the internal SSD size from 825GB to 1TB. The model that comes with a Blu-Ray drive will be $500, the same as the disc-based model now, but the digital-only version will be $450, which is an increase of $50 over the current model. They'll be available starting next month and will replace the existing models, which will be discontinued. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deft Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Kind of glad they haven't changed the specs such that I feel obliged to buy the new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
