Introducing the PS5 Slim

Sony Interactive Entertainment has officially unveiled the eagerly awaited PS5 Slim, a sleek and compact version of the PlayStation 5. Set to hit shelves locally on December 6, this new console caters to the evolving needs of players, offering greater choice and flexibility. Let’s dive into the details below.



Key Features of the PS5 Slim

Compact Form Factor: The PS5 Slim packs the same powerful technology as its predecessors but in a more manageable size. It measures 14.1 inches (H) x 3.8 inches (W) x 8.5 inches (D), making it 30% smaller than the original PS5. While not as dramatic as the PS4 Slim’s transformation, the PS5 Slim strikes a balance between performance and space-saving design.


1TB Storage: Gamers can rejoice as the PS5 Slim comes equipped with a 1TB SSD. More storage means more games, apps, and media content at your fingertips.


Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive (Optional): The PS5 Slim offers flexibility by allowing users to add an Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive to the PS5 Digital Edition. Whether you prefer physical discs or digital downloads, the choice is yours.


Stylish Cover Panels: The PS5 Slim features four separate cover panels. The top portion boasts a glossy finish, while the bottom panels remain matte. This sleek combination adds a touch of sophistication to your gaming setup.


Pricing and Accessories

PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive: Priced at $799.95 AUD, this version includes the disc drive for physical game discs and movies.


PS5 Digital Edition: For those who prefer an all-digital experience, the PS5 Digital Edition costs $679.95 AUD.


Vertical Stand: Enhance stability and display your PS5 vertically with the Vertical Stand, available separately for $49.95 AUD.


Customization Options

Starting in early 2024, gamers can personalise their PS5 Slim with a variety of console cover colours. Look out for the all-matte Black option and the vibrant Deep Earth Collection, featuring Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, and Sterling Silver. Local pricing for these stylish covers will be confirmed soon.
