Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade - Lemmy.World

Same price, less storage. Shrinkflation at its finest. >Sony plans to release a new PS5 Slim All-Digital console with an 825GB SSD, reducing storage from the previous 1TB to optimize production costs amid rising expenses. The PS5 Slim Standard with a disc drive will retain the 1TB SSD, and the updated model is expected to launch in Europe first.

So pretty much 2-3 games like baldurs gate, helldivers, GTA V after accounting for the OS, with no ability for physical games. Idk who would buy this with that knowledge… it makes the disc version the only viable choice for a bit more coin

It’s actually really easy to add an nvme drive. That’s more costs though, obv

No disrespect I feel like someone purchasing a console is unwilling to crack hardware open. But they certainly can save some money if they do
