After increasing the price, SSD power is also decreased.
Although PlayStation 5 was in the market for almost five years and received a number of changes, including one large in the form of a thin model, this generation was very different from almost all the previous ones. Instead of gradually falling, the price is more expensive. Of course, there are many factors, whether it is high production costs, a general economic situation or import duties. In short, the fact for customers is that even if they have been waiting for several years, they will pay for new equipment, perhaps even more than players who bought a console right in the release.
The trustworthy insider Billbil-kun has now reported in an article for Distabs magazine about a new upcoming revision from the CFI-2100, which should concern the digital publication and the version with portable mechanics. But although the last, more expensive option should not undergo any serious changes, the first is not quite true.
The digital edition has already passed through two waves of price raising. Of the initial 400 euros in August 2022, it was increased to 450 euros (while a version with mechanics of 550), and in April – 500 euros. The version without mechanics is now officially worth the same as the PS5 with mechanics. The advantage, of course, is a more economical design in the form of a thin version and a slightly larger storage, 1 TB instead of 825 GB on the launch model. But here is a hook.
According to Billbil-kun, the planned review, which should arrive at the market in September (and retains the same price), reduces the power of SSD to 825 GB. Nevertheless, this applies only to the digital publication, the version with mechanics should maintain a larger disc 1 TB.
Of course, for both versions, and not all the storage can be used. On the one hand, the difference between real gigabytes and hibbit plays a role, and on the other hand, a significant part of the console reserves for the operating system and other important aspects. Of the 825 GB, only 667 GB is only 667, and the version 1 TB is 848 GB.
Billbil-kun adds that so far he has only this information about the European market, and it is unclear whether the power reduction will also be applied to the rest of the world. In any case, if you want to buy a digital PS5, it may be better to buy a version with a large storage, if possible.
