Has the PlayStation 5 Slim Design Finally Been Revealed?!?

One of the most popular subjects for people to speculate about in the world of Video Games surrounds new hardware. How many times have we heard there was a Switch Pro or a Switch 2 coming from Nintendo, yet nothing has shown up. We've also had speculations when it comes to new hardware from Microsoft and Sony regarding mid-cycle updates. Microsoft has indicated the Series S and Series X ARE their mid-cycle updates, Sony has been more coy. Earlier, Twitter (or X) user @BwE_Dev posted a video to the platform that is getting a lot of attention. Is it legit? Hard to say, but there are a few things we did notice.

Model Number:
Supposedly this has a model number of CFI-2016

Features:
This maintains the overall look and feel of the original PS5 Fat, down to the front USB Ports, stand mount location, and disk drive location. The latter, the disk drive location, is what makes me think this is a hoax, as there are multiple reports that the mid-cycle revision will be digital-only, with an optional external optical drive rumored to be an optional accessory.

2 Front Facing USB-A or USB-C ports

Bottom Mounted Vertical Pedestal Mount

What appears to be an LED Light Strip towards the top 1/3 of the case, similar to the original Playstation 4 design

Forbes has come out and claimed this is simply a 3D-printed case. Having 3D printed items for some time, this doesn't look 3D printed to me. If it is, then it is set to an amazingly high resolution and would have taken a lot of time to design, mock-up, and print.

What do you think? Has the PlayStation 5 Slim Design Finally Been Revealed? Do you think this IS the PS5 Slim? I'm not sure, I don't think so, but there's a chance. Either way if this IS true we won't have long to wait as this has a rumored September announcement date! Share your opinion in the comments!
