It is not a mistake, they're making the same deal for the PS5 standard "fat" in France too, with a free COD MWIII. We don't have a release date for the slim in Europe yet, but some sources say it'll be in early December, you know how it is they can't announce those things too early or nobody will buy the "standard" ones.
For me this price is a big last "fuck you" to MS, since now they own ABK, it's the last year of the "deal" between Activision / Sony for COD so they wanna use that popular licence to sell as much PS5s as possible. Imagine ? Selling millions of PS5 because it is bundled with a free Microsoft Studios game.
I am not going to trade or change my cfi 12xx spider man 2 limited edition for the ps5 slim. I don't even care about it . Just wanted how is it in terms of heat and noise.
I was blessed with delta fan that is dead silent and my ps5 is 50 cm away from me only under my gaming monitor. And it's not hot at all. I highly doubt the ps5 slim will be as silent . ( Aside from chill influencers trying to promote this thing on YouTube ).
If anything it has few nwgstive points in my book that I don't like and I haven't seen the console yet.
- the shiny plastic in the middle will be harder to cover than standard not curved in the middle ps5 slim . I already have one from dbrand on my ps5
- the ps5 slim out of the box doesn't have any rubber feet under the blue ray drive plate. It will just sit flat on the plate on your table. Not only it will scratch to hell and back . It will also not be firm on the tv table or desk. If you try to buy some pads , it will need some on the other side too and that side is exposed so it will look funny.
- the stand that comes with the console. ..bruh. it's the same thing you get from a pizza box. How cheap it looks ? The ps5 stand makes look like it's floating in the air. Not garbage like this.
However, I did find it weird to bundle it with ps5 in general for free because at the end of the day. Fuck you or not to MS like you said,MS is still making money off every copy sold at Sony . If anything, Sony not only losing the loyalty fee to MS, they are not making money of copies sold for one of the biggesr hits this fall. Money is money. And that seems to be a weird move.they are charging you for a stand that came with the original ps5, you want them to give you MW3 for free ? Just weird move if true.
