PS5 Slim fans shocked by the console’s size – it’s not what anyone was expecting

THE PS5 Slim is launching this month, and some people have their hands on the first models.

PS5’s new model is not officially called the PS5 Slim; fans have called it this due to the new reduced size.

The most noticeable difference is the weight, which has been significantly reduced.

New owners will notice this just by picking up the console, which is over a pound lighter than the standard model.

However, what most people were hoping for was a major reduction in the size of the PS5.

The chunky console is even bigger in size than the gigantic original Xbox model.

When compared to the original model, it is somewhat shorter, but when you include the disc drive, it ends up being a little thicker.

It also doesn’t include the vertical stand, meaning you can’t take as much advantage of the shorter height.

However, PS5 owners have noticed that the console works better when placed horizontally, as it stops the system from overheating.

From a technical standpoint, the new model does have a more compact fan, which will help with how noisy the PS5 can be on boot-up.

Despite the size of the new fan, the same hardware is on the inside, meaning that there should be no compromise when it comes to performance.

Another difference that people are noticing is that the shell is in four pieces instead of the original model’s two.

This means that if you purchased shells for the old PS5 model, then you won’t be able to use them with the new model.

It should be noted that PlayStation has opted not to name the new model the PS5 Slim, so it was not misleading fans when it comes to the console’s size.

However, fans were still hoping for some improvements, especially as the new model is more expensive than the original.
