    $100 discount has been running on the OG PS5 model for some time here in Australia. I’d say a Slim release is just around the corner.

      They better not! Physical games are my preference. But honestly you can’t play games offline anymore anyways, you always need at least the day 1 patch and for some games 20 patches after that.

      It’s really kind of ridiculous we’re all against DRM but then it’s kind of already a thing

        Well, yeah, as long as you can externalized almost all of the cooling configuration in additional to the power supply…but I doubt that’s the route an actual PS5 slim is going to take.

      With all of the cooler revisions they did on the full size it really seems like they can scale it down quite a bit. Maybe not quite PS4 pro size, but certainly more manageable than the current model.

        It’s crazy how big the OG model is. The XBSX is also big but it fits way better in my entertainment center
