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.

    Yep. That’s exactly when I stopped buying’em.

    Microsoft proved to everyone that customers were willing to lower their standards further, so Sony and Nintendo followed suit.

    Remember kids, it’s not about keeping the lights on. It’s about maximizing profit.
