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.
I loved the PS3 too, but I’m looking at it now in hindsight and recognizing all of its flaws.
I think most of my enjoyment for the PS3 came from “what could be,” and then by the time it came I was older and had many other things going on in my life. To be honest, it never really came. The PS3 was not the successor the PS2 deserved.
