Sony PlayStation 5 Disc Edition vs PlayStation 5 Digital Slim ASTRO BOT Bundle

Both are PS5s with the same CPU, GPU, 16GB of GDDR6 memory and DualSense controller, so games run and look the same on each. The Disc Edition adds a Blu-ray drive, which lets you play physical discs, watch Blu-ray movies and resell or lend games; the Slim Digital is a smaller, lighter revision with a 1TB SSD and Astro Bot pre-installed, but it can only download games. Buy the Disc Edition if you own or borrow discs or want a movie player; buy the Slim Digital if you buy everything digitally and want the smaller footprint and more built-in storage.

  • Choose the PlayStation 5 Disc Edition if you own physical games, rent or borrow discs, watch Blu-ray movies, or want the option to resell games later.
  • Choose the PS5 Digital Slim if you buy all your games from the PlayStation Store and want the smaller, lighter console with a 1TB drive and Astro Bot included.

What reviewers say

Sony PlayStation 5 Disc Edition

  • 4.6 / 532 ratings

Owners rate the PS5 highly for its fast loading, quiet operation in most games, and strong exclusive lineup. Common complaints are its size, the limited 825GB storage, and the disc drive's noise and power draw.

What people mention
  • Load timesPraisedOwners say the SSD makes loading screens almost disappear in most games.
  • StorageCriticisedReviewers note 825GB goes fast once several large games are installed.
  • SizeCriticisedOwners call it large and heavy, and it needs a wide, ventilated spot.
  • NoiseMixedThe fan is quiet in most games, but the disc drive is loud while installing or spinning.

PlayStation 5 Digital Slim ASTRO BOT Bundle

Owners and reviewers rate the Slim Digital as a solid, quieter revision of the PS5 with the same performance and a bigger SSD. ASTRO BOT is widely praised as one of the best platformers on the system and a strong showcase for the controller.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say the Slim is noticeably smaller and lighter than the original PS5 and easier to fit on a shelf.
  • NoisePraisedReviewers report it runs quietly in most games, quieter than the launch model.
  • StorageMixedThe 1TB SSD is an improvement, but owners say large games still fill it quickly.
  • ASTRO BOTPraisedPlayers call the bundled game inventive and charming, and a great demo of the DualSense.

Questions and answers

Do games look or run differently on the two?
No. Both use the same custom CPU, GPU and 16GB of GDDR6 memory, so frame rates, ray tracing and 4K output match. The difference is the disc drive and storage, not performance.
Which is better if I mostly buy digital games?
The Slim Digital. You get a smaller console, a 1TB drive instead of 825GB, and Astro Bot included, and you never use a drive anyway.
Can I add storage to either one?
Yes. Both have an M.2 NVMe slot for a compatible internal SSD, and both support external USB drives for PS4 games.
Which lasts longer?
Both are built on the same hardware and have similar failure rates. The Slim runs cooler and quieter in most reports, but the disc drive on the Disc Edition is the one extra moving part that can wear out.
Is the Slim worth stepping up to over the original Disc model?
Only if you want the smaller size and more storage and do not need discs. If you own physical games or watch Blu-rays, the Disc Edition is the one to keep.
Does the Digital Slim play PS4 discs?
No. It has no drive, so PS4 games must be bought digitally. The Disc Edition plays supported PS4 discs through backward compatibility.
