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.

I'm amazed, they made it even uglier.

Looks better than the PS4 Pro and slims

Two questions.

  1. how dare you?

  2. what don't you like about the ps4 slim? I love how it looks.

[–] the16bitgamer@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

  1. I dare

  2. I like the angular multi texture and led strip styling of the original PS4. It was distinct and can be identified just from a glance.

Meanwhile the slim is just a featureless box with fillet edges and a trench. At a glance its difficult to tell what it is until you see the PlayStation logo.

While I am not a fan of the PS5's design its at the minimum distinct, and striking. I just wish that it wasn't wider than a ~~george foreman grill~~ original PS3

It's like you're describing the perfect design. Except for the logo. And the trench which most usb sticks don't fit into. Or some cables
