Is the PS5 Slim worth it over the original PS5?

Yes if you want a smaller, quieter console with a 1TB SSD and a disc drive. Performance is essentially the same, so owners of the original have little reason to upgrade.

No. The vertical stand is sold separately, so standing the console upright requires an extra purchase.

It has a 1TB built-in SSD, up from 825GB on the launch model. You can add more storage with a compatible M.2 NVMe SSD.

Can the PS5 Slim play physical discs and Blu-ray movies?

Yes. This is the disc version, so it plays physical PS5 and PS4 discs and 4K Blu-ray movies.

Our take on the PlayStation 5 Slim

The PlayStation 5 Slim is Sony's smaller, lighter revision of the PS5, sold here in the disc-drive version with a 1TB SSD. It plays the same PS5 library as the original, with 4K output, up to 120fps on compatible TVs, ray tracing, and the DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. The disc model adds a Blu-ray drive for physical games and movies. No price was provided for this listing, so check the current price against its recent range before buying.
