The release date for the slimmer, mid-gen PS5 appears to have leaked online, along with details about its first bundles. According to reliable source Billbil-kun (notorious for accurately leaking monthly PS Plus games in advance), the new smaller PlayStation console will be launched in the United States on November 10th before being rolled out to other regions; disc version and digital version. Prior to this, on November 8, Sony bundled it with the newly launched “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” for $559.99, which is the same price as the existing standard version bundle. Although not explicitly mentioned, the content should be the same, with digital coupons for the game as well as themed controllers.
Bill Billjun’s report – French machine translation – Claims that the Spider-Man 2 bundle will only include the disc version of the PS5 slim, “without a dedicated design,” which could be a reference to the special edition red and black PS5, which looks as if the console is being given a Venom black color Symbiote Devour. That said, it’s unclear whether he’s referring to the removable drive or the entire console side panel. Sony launched the new PS5 Slim last week, which is said to be 30% smaller than the base PlayStation 5, and is 18% and 24% lighter depending on the version. It’ll be available next month with a glossy upper half and a matte lower half, separated by a black stripe. As originally announced, it will come in two versions: digital and one with a detachable Ultra HD Blu-ray disc player.
The drive also comes with a white plastic shroud that keeps out dust and debris and allows for easy insertion. The PS5 slim disc version is priced at $499.99 (approximately Rs. 41,555), which is the same as the original version. The PS5 slim digital version is priced at $449.99 (approximately Rs. 37,400), originally priced at $399, but one can buy the Blu-ray drive separately and plug it in. The drive is sold separately for $79.99 (approximately Rs. 6,650). In terms of hardware, the two consoles remain the same in terms of processing power and graphics, but the internal storage has been slightly upgraded, jumping from an 825GB SSD to a 1TB SSD. It’s worth mentioning that this new slimmer version will be the only model available for purchase once Sony successfully sells all of its initial PS5 stock.
The report further states, including Regional Amazon Site, pre-orders/pre-orders for the PS5 slim have been opened on the aforementioned November 10th. As of July, Sony’s PS5 sales have reached 40 million units worldwide, and the company is said to expect to exceed this number through sales of newer consoles. In India, the current-gen standard PS5 disc version is priced at Rs. 54,990 while the digital version is priced at Rs 54,990. 44,990. Both versions are now available online and in stores. In fact, its sales seem to be lagging domestically, which could explain the frequent discounts we’ve seen lately. Sony also plans to launch the PlayStation Portal handheld gaming device later this year, which will allow players to seamlessly transfer games from the console to a smaller screen via Wi-Fi.
