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.

Don't forget that the OS is on there too taking up space and from reports it's about 160 GB on its own.

    I think that's a bit too big to be just the OS, they have like 50GB of built-in stuff (share factory+astro but you can uninstall both). It's probably something sensible like 60GB but they're playing it safe by doubling the reserved space. It's Sony after all
