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. That's obviously coming later. |

No and that's why third party companies will do them for a few quid or people just won't bother and just shove it on its end without anything.

Well at least this finally means I can buy a ps5. I'll get the OG disc version for what will be a cheaper price.
All this ain't worth it imo

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? No, it needs to be merely functional, of course. However, it should be noted that Mr Whizzo's standards have been set. "Looks kinda like a TNG communicator"  |

Oh I've just seen that the disc drive is, err, 100 quid. Wut?!
So 80 dollars, 100 quid, 120 euros. Sounds fair.

Nah, the digital looks quite smart. The disc version does look like it’s got a hernia, tho..

The vertical stand looks like a bargain compared to the disc drive, "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."
How $80=£100 with current exchange rates even including VAT is bizarre, €120 is ridiculous too.

It boils down to the fact that they're selling so well they feel like they can charge this price and they know people will fall over themselves. If the PS5 Pro is real judging by this price increase we're looking at 600-650 quid. |

30 quid for a stand?! They really do take the piss with their customers. 25, still rather expensive even if it does look a bit swish.
That looks like Argos chic. |

It still looks like a Virgin Media hub from 10 years ago. Both the original models and this one are up there with the ugliest console designs of all time.
Having said that, I prefer it to the original model.
