The ps5 slim is just another fantasy made up by the ps fanboys. Just like the real ps shiwcase that will be announced any day now or sony buying take 2 or starfield coming to ps5 later,.... The list is endless.
Some people on here would call that mental illness.

Still sounds terrible considering this is the biggest PlayStation ever and according to this report they can’t make it any narrower. Now it’s just going to be slightly less preposterously tall.
As long as they get rid of the terrible curved design and gloss plastic it will still be a winner though.

Wait, it's with disk drive? I thought that slim version will get rid of disk drive first, especially if they want to release it as separate device (which is genius).
They say it looks similar in design.

Similar could mean still white and black sandwich but no gloss or curved as I’m being optimistic.

worst aesthetically designed console ever made imo.
Just change the whole design but make it 5CM smaller and it will probably be ok, I guess.

Yes currently the 1200 is the best model to get. 6nm and still with liquid metal.

He can put up or shut up like I said earlier. Otherwise, fake.
Draw a picture or show the video.
Thank you for giving them a lesson. I planned to do the same, after reading so many annoying posts in this thread.

Maybe the disk drive goes internally into the unit? Like slides in the bottom half?

Or it's standalone and plugs in via the extra USB-C port on the front?

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but people bring up (and for good reason) faceplates as a reason there won't be much of a size difference but what about the detachable drive? Maybe it can be fit in more seamlessly than I'm thinking but it's possible that kind of design might play havoc with trying to keep with the same faceplate design.

What’s the right amount of trimming does a console qualify for being called “slim”? Pretty sure Sony made slim consoles since the ps1

For those of you saying that nobody cares: the only reason I have a Series S and not a PS5 is because that thing is a monstrosity and I don't play enough to warrant having that thing. I'll wait until they get the size down to half (or SOCOM is brought back).

You're missing out. More cushion for pushing the disc in with current model.

I fail to see how that makes it terrible? PS3 was the biggest console before and it's Slim is one of the weakest (in terms of relative improvement), and actually larger than every other Playstation unit, except for launch PS3 and PS5. And PS4 slim improvement was the smallest relative gain, even though it is the second largest launch unit.
Even with PS included those had the largest volume decrease. But indeed - the final PS2 Slim by far the biggest reduction - at only 1/5th of the size of original unit.
I mean yes - but the point was reduction of 5cm in any one dimension isn't small, or even average - it's at the high end of the biggest reductions in history.
Also both PS4 and PS3 were barefly meaningful reductions when compared to trends set by PS2/PS1, so if we go by that logic(what came before), both very actually terrible Slim SKUs (I mean PS3 even in SuperSlim form was practically the same size as the launch PS2 - and regular Slim was still quite a bit larger than that).

Because it’s a big fat ugly eyesore right now in every dimension, and just shaving 5cm from its 40cm height isn’t going to do anything to help solve that.

Seems Sony is focusing on keeping costs down rather than making an aesthetically pleasing device. When I look at XSX and XSS, those are some nice looking and well built consoles. But Microsoft is also taking a significant loss on every unit they sell. Personally I don't care much about the looks. PS5 is certainly big and that's fine by me. A new PS5 is going to have to bring something more than just being smaller for me to really care. Basically, Pro model or nothing.
