The PS5 is a true bestseller, despite the fact that it is impossible to get one. A few months after the next-generation Sony console turns one year, everything seems to indicate that it is time to review. There are a new PS5 on the wayAlthough do not be alarmed, it is still the same console with some quality of life changes.
At least that’s how the first review models from PS5 that are popping up in australia. And as we say, these are very subtle little changes that most console releases experience in their early years.
In fact, Sony’s last console before the Ps5, the PS4 Pro, underwent an overhaul of some of its minor components. just a few months after launch. Now the new PS5 seems to go the same way, although the changes are even less subtle.
New PS5: lighter and without the need to use a screwdriver
Sony’s new consoles also change the model number, as with all revisions. The most recent, which includes the changes, corresponds to the CFI-1102A model, which replaces the CFI-1000 versions of the original release.
In this sense, the most relevant change is the weight of the console. The new PS5 is lighter, about 300 grams, with respect to the launch version due to the change in size in the heatsink, similar to what happened with the PS4 Pro. This is something interesting, but not important in a console destined to be in the living room. Especially in a model especially cool in ventilation, like the PS5.
On the other hand, Sony has replaced the screw on the base that no longer requires a screwdriver. The new screw counts with a grip around the top
Mind you, it seems that it is the only one that has been replaced by a manual system: you will still have to use a screwdriver to access the removable M.2 SSD bay. A storage that Sony is expected to enable for everyone in the next major update to the console’s operating system.
Be that as it may, it seems that at the moment this new PS5 can only be purchased in Australia, although the review is expected to reach other markets as well.
