Sony Announces New Look PS5 Consoles Playstation

[Gemma]

Sony has just debuted a brand new redesigned PlayStation 5 console which is set to launch in the remainder of this year.⁠


⁠
Both the digital and regular PlayStation 5 consoles are receiving an aesthetic overhaul and spec boost. This isn't a PS5 Pro or a PS5 Slim, even if these updated versions do embody traits you'd associate with those titles. This is simply a redesigned PlayStation 5. The new version features, as leakers suggested, a detachable disc drive - meaning Sony now has one base console. If you want a disc tray, you simply remove a side plate, and click it onto your console.⁠
⁠
The new Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive isn't the only new feature. The redesigned PlayStation 5s will feature 1TB SSD to boost internal storage. The weight and volume has also been reduced. Volume has been decreased by 30% and weight by 18% and 24% compared to previous models.⁠
⁠
U.S.⁠
PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – 499.99 USD⁠
PS5 Digital Edition – 449.99 USD⁠
⁠
Europe⁠
PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – 549.99 EUR⁠
PS5 Digital Edition – 449.99 EUR⁠
⁠
U.K.⁠
PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – 479.99 GBP⁠
PS5 Digital Edition – 389.99 GBP

Not sure about that dettchable drive, tbh.

Thank god they're sticking with a disc drive model and disc add on.

Even if disc media is becoming an ever smaller section of the market, I think it'll be really unfortunate when they're phased out completely. So much good stuff most easily available via disc (films and games), and there'll be less competitive pricing in a purely digital ecosystem.

I wouldn't go near one atm. Could be tempted by a pro trade in if it came out like I did with the ps4/pro.
