Which is better for a 4K TV?

Both output 4K and up to 120fps at 120Hz with ray tracing, so picture quality is the same. Pick the Slim for the smaller size and 1 TB drive.

Is the Slim worth the extra $9.01?

Yes for most buyers. You get a smaller console and 1 TB instead of 825 GB on the base model for about the price of a coffee.

Do both play disc games?

Yes. Both have a Blu-ray disc drive, so physical PS5 and PS4 discs work on either.

Which has more storage?

The Slim ships with 1 TB. The original PS5 base model has 825 GB, though some listings offer 1 TB and 2 TB versions.

Which is cheaper right now?

The original PS5 Disc Console at $589.99 at Walmart as of November 5, 2026, versus $599.00 at StockX for the Slim.

The Slim includes two plastic feet for horizontal use; a vertical stand is sold separately. The original also needs a base to stand upright.
