The PS5 Slim will become the only model on offer at some point but before then there's no major factor separating it from the 'regular' model. The PS5 Slim is an aesthetic update to the console with one extra - the detachable disk drive. Otherwise, there are no hardware or spec changes. As a result, if you have an existing, launch PS5 model, unless you really like the new design or really want the detachable disk, there's no reason to go for the PS5 Slim. Experience epic gaming with the latest PlayStation 4 games and consoles.

Nothing has changed apart from the design, weight, dimensions, and footprint of the console - as well as that detachable disk drive of course. Should you buy a PS5 Slim?

For those who are looking to get their first PS5 console then it'll depend on your preferences of how the two different kinds look, and whether you'll utilize that disk drive.
