A known tipster has seemingly sparked huge speculation on social media that Sony is just about ready to spring the PlayStation 5 Slim (PS5 Slim) on its legions of fans. While a few details had already been shared about a new PlayStation 5 model, the launch schedule of the console was still somewhat clouded.

That’s why I’ve waited this long.

I wonder how much they can shrink it down.

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

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.

$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.

I could’ve sworn that September is the target date.

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
