One thing I learned about sony, with the slim models theyll use cheaper parts but charge same price. Itll be interesting if they try to beef up these slim models to call them pro or use original models.

      Maybe because u can go from digital to non digital with the new slim and with the old digital it’s stuck at digital so maybe 50 dollar convenience charge instead of having to buy a whole other console

    I think what they’re doing is a classic retail move to have an option that’s technically available, but is mostly just there to make the step up to the next thing look like a really good value. The issue with this stance is that because the best value is the disc edition it goes against the all digital future game console manufacturers want.

      This is exactly what it is. Apple are kings at this. Just go in their website and look at their pricing for their various models of the same product. For just a little extra you can get more storage, but then for a little more than that you can get a bit more RAM, and for a bit more you can get a better screen, etc.
      The whole point is to slowly walk the consumer up a ladder because for just a little bit more you can get an upgrade. Before you know if you’re already looking at a model that’s 1 or 2 steps up from where you originally wanted to start.
      It’s extremely effective

      No, they know that most people will buy the cheapest option. I know this is not any concrete evidence but where I live, most retails outlets have run out of digital only option while the disc version is still available and you can just walk in and buy 1 (it’s exactly what I did and that was during the holiday season too!). So most people here are obviously going for the cheapest option even though the price difference between the digital only and the disc version is 100€. Also the shelf space for physical games at electronics retailers is becoming smaller and smaller with time. It really sucks.
      Physical games are dying sadly and if not next generation, the one after that will definitely be fully digital.

      I think it's definitely a big issue as liquid metal is literal liquid so it's not gonna stay spread perfectly across the IHS if you're keeping it vertical or if you shake the console or drop it. I think over a few more years this will become a bigger issue and we'll see a lot of people that use the vertical orientation will start to notice their consoles overheating from liquid moving or spillage.

  • @Ocelot429
    @Ocelot429 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I think the whole thing is that perhaps Sony is going more towards favoring physical media where Microsoft seems to really be focusing on their Gamepass service.
    It seems like the digital versus physical pricing is a deliberate choice to make the physical media more appealing than digital. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t Sony own the patent for Blu Ray discs? Or at least they were instrumental in pushing Blu Rays to the general public via the PS3.
    To me it makes sense that they have more of a financial incentive to push physical media because they are getting a cut from the disc drives and the actual discs themselves. So they aren’t feeling as much of a push to go digital as Microsoft may be. Also let’s not forget that part of what put Sony over Microsoft the past couple generations is Microsoft’s push to go all digital. Sony absolutely killed Microsoft at the PS4 reveal simply by saying “Yes, our console will have physical discs still”.
    As a collector myself, I’m 100% in favor of keeping physical media around and having all digital as an option for those who want it. We’ve all seen how (Sony included) media is being removed from people who have paid for it due to licensing expirations and whatnot.
    As for people who say the slim is a “scam” or to address the point of the slim being a “stealth” release. I wouldn’t expect Sony to do a big marketing campaign for what is just a model refresh and not an actual “Pro” model release. It just doesn’t make financial sense because then you’d have people complaining that it’s not an upgrade after seeing all of the advertising around it. (Even though it comes with more storage than the original model out of the box)
    I think it’s a bit silly to call it a scam. I’m one of the people who deliberately waited for a “slim” model because I didn’t like the size of the PS5. I’ve got 7 or 8 game consoles on my home entertainment center. I didn’t want to sacrifice a ton of space for one single console.
    I’ve since bought a slim and I personally like the split plate design (though I would’ve highly preferred matte plates instead of gloss). The console is significantly smaller than the original even if it’s still pretty bulky compared to the other consoles in my living room. Now I get to enjoy all my Ps5 and PS4 stuff on one console which is nice.
    Overall I think it’s a great console and a good deal for people like me who held off. Getting the physical version, with Spiderman 2 for free and also getting some of my PS4 versions of my games upgraded to the Ps5 version for free is ALOT of value for me since I never upgraded to a PS4 pro. God of War looks REALLY good on the PS5 and it runs great too.
    Obviously if you’ve got the OG model there isn’t really much in the slim model that provides value. (Unless you REALLY care about the space the original takes up). So it’s a bit silly for people to say Sony is money grabbing with the refresh of the console, especially seeing as they’ve done it with literally every single console generation they’ve put out. It’s pretty much expected that they’ll do a console refresh at some point. Though I’m a bit skeptical about the possibility of a “Pro” model given that the move to 4k as standard has essentially already happened at this point where as the PS4 was the “middle man” of the swap over. That obviously necessitated a pro model mid console generation. But we shall see if we do get a pro model
    I’m happy with my purchase and it looks great on my home entertainment center alongside all of my other consoles.

    Think of Sony Pricing the PS5-Slim Digital the way it is, is the same as Goku tossing Cell a Senzu Bean in Dragon Ball Z.
    If the PS5-Sllim Digital was $399.99, it would've made the XBOX Series-S 1TB pointless. This way Sony is giving XBOX a chance to compete in the market, because if it was between a $349.99 1TB XBOX Series-S and $50 more for a $399.99 PS5-Slim Digital would make the PS5 a No-Brainer. Sony knew that if they released a $399.99 PS5-Slim Digital, they would've dominated the market. So by bumping the PS5-Slim Digital up to $450, and Increasing the price of Playstation Plus, and lack of quality 1st party software is just Sony looking to give XBOX a chance to compete.

Is that too far fetched?

I’m hoping for a moment in 2028 (I guess at whatever E3 equivalent exists by that time) where they do a video like “how to insert a disc into your PS6”.
      In the end I’m really not sure if this would happen, because it’s in Sony’s best interests to go all digital as well, but I can dream lol. At least Switch 2 will probably be backwards compatible and Nintendo likely won’t even consider going all digital until Switch 3 or whatever

The fact the stand is way worse and the Digital version is very expensive despite the cost-cutting measures is weird to me.

As they slow down on physical game production it’d be more ideal for them to lower the price of the digital console tho.

    I'm glad the digital dont make sense and less people buy them. I couldn't imagine walking inside of Walmart or GameStop and there's not any physical games anymore. Just a bunch of digital cards behind glass 😢

    The slim looks cheap, and should come with the stand! Make that a bundle, keep that bad cod game.
    I don’t mind my fat ps5 disc. Keep the discs alive people! 💿

    Am I the only one enjoying my ps portal 80 miles away from my house using my mobile hotspot?

    Why would you even expect the horizontal stands to work with both models?
    Also, if you buy the digital model your not likely to be touching it all the time so stability isn’t really an issue.

    The PS5 looks so shitty design wise. I don’t understand what they were thinking when they made it

    They should of just threw the stand in at that price.
