PS5 vs. PS5 Digital Edition — which one should you buy?These are the best Xbox Series X games and best PS5 games so far EA banned me from Apex Legends for getting hacked by a cheater
The new model doesn’t drastically alter the design of the original console, with the updated screw being the most significant change. While Press Start states it can’t confirm the shift in weight, a recent report claims a new PS5 Digital Edition console with a new base screw would weigh 3.6kg (from 3.9kg originally). It isn’t clear why the latest models are lighter, or where Sony has made changes for both editions of the PS5 to make it drop weight. Still, if it makes it slightly easier to carry, the weight drop is welcome. Plus, this may indicate that a PS5 Slim edition will drop sometime down the line. Unfortunately, while the new model makes it easier to change the PS5 to a vertical or horizontal position without a screwdriver, you’ll still need one in order to add an M.2 SSD. While we wait to find out if the PS5’s drop in weight brings any additional perks, check out what you’ll need to increase storage space on your PS5 by up to 4TB.
