Just how much slimmer and smaller is Sony’s new PlayStation 5 console with a removable disc drive? Here it is compared to the original PS5.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Sony ’s refreshed, slimmed-down consoles ever since the adorable PS One. All the Sony consoles I’ve owned were launch versions that are bigger and goofier-looking than their eventual redesigns — giving me massive FOMO — but I think my love affair for “slim” PlayStations is now at an end with the new PlayStation 5. If there’s ever been a PlayStation in need of a glow-up, it’s the PS5.

But the new PS5 at least has a little more going for it than just Sony’s strange design choices — it now has 1TB of built-in storage and two front-facing USB-C ports instead of one USB-C and one USB-A. The only other tangible benefit is that the location of the removable disc drive’s eject button means we can finally stop mixing up the power and eject buttons that have looked way too similar since the PS4 days.
