Holy fuck that disc drive looks terrible
Does this mean we'll be able to get one in 2025?

I'm not sure it looks very much smaller, which will doubtless cause lots of online shrieking.
Not that I need a new one anyway.

I'm a little surprised they didn't put it in a picture with the old models, it being 30% smaller in volume is a bit difficult to see without it.

Size reduction is nice. I'm thinking of picking up the dbrand plates to slim mine down a bit.
Wonder why they kept both models, instead of just reducing it to the digital with add-on.

Odd they haven't shown a side-by-side.
They are just becoming Apple-lite at this point though. A vertical stand being sold separately for the new model for 30 quid is just absolutely laughable.
I'm just glad it isn't a Pro type deal where you kinda have to buy it if you want the best experience on that platform.

Third parties are going to love the over the top pricing on the vertical stand, Sony clearly just thinking of them.
One weird choice is that the USB-A socket on the front has been replaced with a USB-C but it's still only a USB2 speed port and not a USB3 socket like the existing one.

They've been doing vertical stands since the PS2.

The official ones didn't cost 25 quid when I bought one for my PS2 though.

My OG PS5 isn't standing vertically right this second by some magical spell.

That disk drive add on looks pretty ugly, and this is coming from someone who doesn't mind the look of the PS5

At least this one looks "nice". The PS4 stand was just a black plastic slab.

Wow. They actually went and made it even uglier somehow. Fair play.
The digital version is a bit of an improvement mind you. Would look alright with black faceplates.

The blog says it comes with a horizontal stand in very specific wording. They've literally monetised it standing vertically. The ultimate grifters.

The horizontal stand looks like someone used a hair clip, it'll probably do the job but it's very basic.

Just seen a composite of both models from the release images and it does look considerably smaller.  ed: May be slightly off looking at controller details but it's close enough to give a feel. |

I’m worried if it’s smaller they won’t be able to fit the same number of pixels inside?

If it's similar to the OG structurally inside the fins then that thing is going to have a big problem with dust clogging it up.

They put all of the flops in a vacuum pack bag and suck the air out with a foot pump, so they'll fit in a smaller footprint case. Don't know why they couldn't just do that to begin with, but whatever.

Wondered why the first image I put in the opening post wasn't appearing on my phone, they pulled it as the original had "separately" spelt wrong! Now changed to the corrected one.

30 quid for a stand?! They really do take the piss with their customers.

I kinda feel like you and I possibly have slightly differing opinions on what constitutes "swish" mate.

Compared to that black puck they included with the launch model it looks like something from Star Trek.

Ok.
It looks like a ring of plastic with a piece of plastic in the middle to me.
Perhaps I am experiencing a sense of wonder failure?

It's practically a TNG combadge! Easily worth 25 quid to shove under your PS5.

Does it need to be swish when it’s supposed to be underneath something that arguably doesn’t need to be front and center anywhere anyway?
