OFFICIAL: Playstation 5 Slim and PS5 Slim Digital Coming November '23
After many months and months of speculation, we finally have confirmation from Sony that the mid-cycle update for their PlayStation 5 and PS5 All-Digital is on its way. They have also confirmed that when the existing stock of the original versions of both the PS5 Digital and the Disc version are sold out at retail, all models moving forward will be this new design. For those looking to get your hands on one, you won't have to wait long as the Playstation 5 Slim and PS5 Slim Digitial Coming to stores in November '23.
It was rumored for some time and Sony unveiled the fact that there really is one core PS5 system moving forward. Whether you get the Disc or Digital Only versions, at the core it is the same machine. The major difference is that the optical disc drive can be removed or installed easily by the end user. If you decide to go with a digital-only version and later wish to get the disc module you can do that for around $80. If you're thinking that's a deal, since the Digital version was $100 less than the disc version, you'd be wrong.
See, normally there's a mid-cycle price cut that Sony brings into play. The mid-cycle refresh normally has reduced manufacturing costs, which get passed onto the consumer. Well, sorry 'bout your luck because there's no price cut on the Disc version, and there's a price INCREASE on the digital version! That's right, the digital version has jumped from $399 USD to $449 USD. So yeah, if you decide to upgrade your sparkling new PS5 Slim Digital with a disk drive you'll actually spend MORE than if you just bought a Disc version to start!
This is definitely an odd play for Sony, especially with price INCREASES and removed features. Oh, that's right, if you want a vertical stand that's separate now too for another $30. Sticking it to the consumer at every turn, as someone who loves PlayStation IPs this is really hard to swallow.
