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

Both are the same PS5 Slim hardware, so the real choice is disc drive versus all-digital. Buy the Disc Edition if you own Blu-ray movies, want to resell or lend physical games, or like buying used discs; buy the Digital if you are happy downloading everything and want the cleaner, lighter console. Reviewers rate the Slim's cooling and smaller size as an improvement over the launch model, and owners praise the near-instant SSD loads and DualSense haptics on both. The Digital's trade-off is total dependence on the PlayStation Store and your internet connection.

• Choose the PS5 Disc Edition if you own or plan to buy physical games and 4K Blu-rays, or want the option to resell discs.
• Choose the PS5 Digital ASTRO BOT Bundle if you buy all your games digitally and want the slimmer console with a packed-in game.
