Is the Slim worth it over the original PS5?

Yes, if you are buying new. It is smaller, has a 1TB SSD and runs the same games at the same performance. The original is only worth it at a clear discount.

On this Disc Edition, yes. The drive is a separate module that attaches to the console, and it can be removed on the Digital Edition if bought separately.

How much storage do I actually get?

About 800GB of the 1TB is free after system software. You can add a compatible M.2 NVMe SSD for more space.

Can it play PS4 games?

Yes. Most PS4 games run on the PS5, and disc copies work through the disc drive.

Does it stand vertically out of the box?

No. The Slim ships with a horizontal stand; a vertical stand is sold separately.

The console, one DualSense controller, an HDMI cable, a power cable and a horizontal stand. The Spider-Man 2 bundle also includes a voucher or disc copy of the game.
