Sony Unveils Sleeker, Lighter PS5 Models With Detachable Disc Drive

Sony has unveiled sleeker and lighter models of the PS5 console with a detachable disc drive. They will be useful for those who prefer to add a disc drive later.

Sony has announced that they will be releasing two new models of the PlayStation 5 (PS5) console. These new models are smaller and lighter than the current ones.

They have a 30% reduction in volume and weight reductions of 18% and 24%. The new models will also have a detachable disc drive, which was previously rumored. This disc drive will be sold separately for $79.99.

The price of the new PS5 models will be $499.99, which is $50 more than the current model. They will be available in November, once the current stock of PS5s is sold out. There is also an option to buy a Vertical Stand for $29.99.

It is important to note that these new models are not a mid-generation upgrade. There are rumors of a PS5 Pro being developed, but it is not confirmed. Some people may choose to wait and see if the PS5 Pro is released before buying one of the new models.

The timing of the release of these new models matches with the launch of the highly anticipated Spider-Man 2 game, which is exclusive to the PS5.

Some people may choose to buy a bundle that includes the game, while others may prefer the sleeker design of the new PS5 models and buy the game separately.

What Is The Use Of This Detachable Disc Drive?

Whether or not a detachable disc drive is useful depends on your individual needs. If you like to play physical games, then a detachable disc drive can be a convenient feature.

However, if you prefer to download games digitally, then a detachable disc drive is not as necessary.

The new PS5 models will have a detachable disc drive, which means that you can buy the console without a disc drive and add one later if you need it. The disc drive will cost you $79.99 if you purchase it separately.

The detachable disc drive will be useful for people who want to play physical games but don’t want to buy a PS5 with a disc drive because it is more expensive.

It will also be useful for people who have a PS5 Digital Edition and want to add a disc drive later on.

How Is The Craze of PS5 In India?

The craze for the PS5 is very high in India. It was the best-selling console in India in 2021, and demand has continued to be strong in 2022.

But it has been difficult to buy because of limited stock. The new PS5 models may be easier to buy, and they may also be more appealing to some consumers because of their smaller size and detachable disc drive.
