Sony recently launched new slim versions for the disc and digital editions of the PlayStation 5, which, as their name suggests, are physically smaller consoles. According to Sony, the volume of these new consoles have been reduced by more than 30 per cent, and they weigh 18 per cent and 24 per cent lighter than the previous models.
Despite this cosmetic change, the slim disc and digital PS5s have the same specs as the previous models, except for their internal storage, which has been bumped up to 1TB from 825GB. Sony also announced the release of a separate Ultra HD Blu-ray drive that can be added to the new PS5 Slim Digital Edition.
If you’re looking to get your hands on the refreshed versions of Sony’s home console, here’s where you can buy the PS5 Slim in Australia.
