No one should be doubting Henderson at this point, imo. He clearly has some legit contacts.Well as I expected the "fake leak lol" was real.
Does that mean it isn't 12 channels any more? Or did they just do something with the chips?So they gave up on Cerny's weird drive configuration that forced the weird sizing?
That's interesting; wonder how the drive will perform vs. OG drives.
The price raise + removing stand from digital cracks me up lol Dominant Sony being dominant Sony.
That's what no competition gives you. Sony is dominating in Europe so they can do such things, just like when they raised console prices in Europe but not in the USA.Mental, Sony spit roasting European costumers.
Travel. I want to take this with me when I'm sitting in hotels during the week. I Had a PS4 slim with me last week and I would love to take a PS5 instead. Glossy finishes will be scratched all to hell.
Can you remove the drive from the disc version?
???What about the SSD’s we already have?
Yes. As the press release states, both current models will be sold through and this new smaller one will become the new standard. Until the next inevitable revision in 2026.They will phase out the old models apparently?
It would be a melt down of epic proportions if Sony went away from the M.2 add in SSD and rightfully so???
Is it industry standard now that hard drives must be swappable?? When did that start happening? Never heard of that feature before.
It lowers the cost to SonyDE went from $399 to $449. Usually refreshes like this lower the cost.
Sony made HDD swappable since 2000.Is it industry standard now that hard drives must be swappable?? When did that start happening? Never heard of that feature before.
Yea but now you can take the drive off when people visit the house so - win win?
Once again the DE looks sexy and the the one with a disc drive looks weird.
Someone on reddit made a table with all the PS5 SKUs and their pricing at various points in time (e.g. launch window, when it got the price bump in all regions other than the US, and now with the new models announcement).

It was nothing special back then. They just went with several discrete smaller flash chips connected in parallel to get the bandwidth they needed. Problem is that if you also go with bigger flash chips you go up in storage a lot and it would have cost too much. Period.So basically the whole thing about the 825Gb being some special number for improved performance when they launched this was mostly BS right?
60,000 Japanese Yen is $400.Poor Japan.
Sony playing with Fire... many japanese can leave to PC. Steam in Japan is bigger at each years...
The mobile market is indeed big Japan just like everywhere else, but the console market there is also huge.Why do we care so much about the Japanese market, they are primarily focused on mobile now and nothing Sony does will change that unless they make a viable handheld competitor.
They ship with the horizontal stand. Looks like this one had horizontal in mind.lmao same priced and they removed the vertical stand which was available in original design packaging???
This makes no sense, if you want all that, then just buy the PS5 with ODD bundle that is still priced at the same price the OG ODD PS5 cost. $499.the stand is sold separately?
$30 stand
$50 dollar price increase for digital
$80 dollar disk drive
to get a new digital ps5 to equate a day one physical ps5, you are paying $60 more. to buy discs that will be useless by an all digital next gen.
this seems like a wasted opportunity from sony.
I mean, you may put your consoles on the shelf to collect dust, but I put mine to work. Depending on what I'm playing I'm taking either a PS4 slim, Series S or Switch with me on the road multiple times per year and they take some abuse. So durability is Important. I can put my switch in a rugged case and it's good, but the PS4 and Series S have to ride in a padded backpack. So snark is just completely misplaced.I knew someone was going to say this.
Okay now who brings theirs to their job at the coal mine?
Wait was there 8?Hmm... this configuration makes sense with regards to the new 1TB storage capacity, right? Also didn't know about the redundancy flash chip, very smart by Sony here.
This is a pretty good size reduction actually, especially in terms of width (not counting the disc drive-lump)
That’s not true…You have the latest fat revision ?
I am looking for taht topic and I can't find it now. Apparently on the latest ps5 revisions, the heatsink is glued and gets loose or something
Yeah, I double checked and it seems it's 6 indeed so that twitter user was wrong. The GDDR6 memory is the one split in 8 chips.Wait was there 8?
Edit: There was 6, right?
The PS5 packs six TH58LJT0T24BA4C Toshiba BiCS 3D memory flash chips. Each Toshiba chip is 128 GiB or just over 137GB. The six drives are powered by a custom SSD controller to make it all work as one.
the stand should be included. let’s not lick blue boots here.And I don't get people, you have thin sony is running a charity?
That horizontal stand.... lol wtf.
the ps5 slim costs between 450-550 usd around the world. What do you think the ps5 pro will cost if it come out in the fall of 2024?It would be a melt down of epic proportions if Sony went away from the M.2 add in SSD and rightfully so
I said months ago in the Pro thread $599 and honestly it could be morethe ps5 slim costs between 450-550 usd around the world. What do you think the ps5 pro will cost if it come out in the fall of 2024?
Sony hired the OG Switch kickstand designer Nintendo fired.
That horizontal stand.... lol wtf.
It could mean they went with 8 this time though right?Yeah, I double checked and it seems it's 6 indeed so that twitter user was wrong. The GDDR6 memory is the one split in 8 chips.
