Oh wait the slimmer digital version is $50 more. Was'nt slim version usually cheaper in prior generations?

We are living in unprecedented inflation times incase you haven’t noticed yet. It is what it is at the end of the day. PS5pro will be $600 next year with maybe a digital only $499-549. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new $499.99 PS5 will replace the original Disc version and turn its Ultra HD Blu-ray drive into a removable piece you can also buy for $79.99” A horizontal stand is included and a new vertical stand compatible will PS5 models will be sold at $30 Looks neat. Though not worth the upgrade for existing owners, excellent for new buyers I think. Personally, will wait for the Pro version next year.

Maybe a strategy to make the existing DE look enticing, and perhaps clear the inventory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have to do this.. I to shell out $450 + $70.. ideally there should have been a single $400 Digital Slim SKU and then disc attachment for those who want it..

I don't think they have provided a digital type of enclosure to cover that place.. so you can detach and then attach pregnant disk panel to make it look fugly... Correct me if I am wrong and indeed there is a digital enclosure included in disc edition as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I am wrong and indeed there is a digital enclosure included in disc edition as well Maybe one has to buy a digital edition side panel separately. Need more enlightenment on this subject. Coz if disc edition can’t be given the slim look on the go then this is indeed fail & a missed opportunity.
