New PS5 Slim November 2023, New Colors Next Year

Yeah not a good look if it's DRM , hopefully is just to update the firmware once you get the disc drive. Probably to deter also third party disc drives.
 
well that’s lame… there’s been no word if they’ll allow you to use any Blu-ray drive?

Wait, does this mean the disc version will require an internet connection? To play disc games?

Hoping not because that won't go over well with gamers. Maybe a one time thing once you've activated that disc drive with the console? But still, what happens years later when you need to get a new drive and the servers aren't working or you don't have internet (although that defeats the purpose of digital 😛).

You know there’s gonna be people out there that say “well, it’s Sony, they can get away with it….just buy the remake”
 
Can't believe they managed to make the new model even uglier than the first😆
It's cheaper to make and they wanted to keep the same design language, and yeah the disc model does look worse :.) The original one is still ugly too, the slim isn't so bad though.
 
2 gens from now... you get a base unit then have to buy all the other parts separately and put it together yourself.
