Sony PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition vs Sony PlayStation 5 Disc Edition

Both are the same PS5 Disc Edition, so the real choice is the revision. The Slim (A) is the newer, smaller model with a 1TB SSD, and it runs cooler and quieter than the original. The original 825GB model (B) is the launch design with less storage and a larger footprint. Buy the Slim unless the original is the only one you can find in the condition you want.

  • Choose the PS5 Slim if you want the current model with a 1TB drive, a smaller body and the quieter cooling revision.
  • Choose the original PS5 Disc Edition if you specifically want the launch design or it is the only disc model available to you.

What reviewers say

Sony PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition

Owners generally rate the Slim as the version to buy: quieter and smaller than the launch console with the same performance. Complaints center on the detachable disc drive and the modest storage after system files.

What people mention
  • SizePraisedOwners say the Slim fits in TV units where the original PS5 did not.
  • Disc driveMixedThe drive works well but its bolt-on design draws complaints about looks and stability.
  • StorageMixed1TB is an improvement, yet owners note only about 800GB is free for games.
  • NoisePraisedReviewers report the Slim runs quieter than early launch consoles.

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.

Questions and answers

Is the PS5 Slim more powerful than the original PS5?
No. Both use the same AMD Zen 2 CPU and RDNA 2 GPU at 10.3 TFLOPS, so games run the same. The Slim mainly changes size, storage and cooling.
Which has more storage?
The Slim has a 1TB SSD. The original has 825GB. Both accept an M.2 NVMe drive for expansion.
Do both play the same discs and games?
Yes. Both are Disc Editions with an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive and play the same PS5 and PS4 library.
Which runs quieter?
The Slim's revised cooling is generally quieter under load. Some original units have a noticeable fan.
Is the Slim worth stepping up to?
If you are buying new, yes. You get more storage, a smaller body and quieter cooling for the same gaming performance.
Does either come with a vertical stand?
The original includes one. The Slim does not; it is sold separately.
