Sony did what Sony usually does and dropped a redesigned PS5 that’s basically the same console as the 2020 version, just in a smaller, sleeker package. In this video I unbox the PS5 Slim, go through what you actually get in the box (same DualSense, same cables), and talk about the first thing I noticed straight away: it feels way lighter and the design looks cleaner. I break down the key physical differences like the slimmer dimensions, the new front ports (both USB-C now), and the updated look with the black horizontal stripes. I also cover the stuff that actually matters day-to-day: the stand situation (Sony not including a vertical stand is honestly quite tight), horizontal setup being easier, and the biggest upgrade here—storage. You’re getting a 1TB SSD (848GB usable), which is a solid bump over the original. Performance-wise though, don’t expect anything crazy: it’s the same CPU/GPU/RAM setup, and in my testing on Fortnite and FC24 it felt identical to my original PS5. My takeaway for 2024 is simple: it’s only worth upgrading if you want the extra storage or you hate the bulky original design—otherwise, keep what you’ve got and watch for price drops.
