Rumors have been swirling that Sony would be dropping something new before the holiday season was here, and we now know what that is! On October 8th Sony announced that an all new PS5 slim in both the disc drive and digital versions. Not only was Sony able to cut down on more than 30% of the systems volume, 18-24% of the weight (depending on which version you get), but they were also able to add in 1 TB of total storage for the new systems. Storage space on the PS5 is a huge issue for gamers who play multiple titles and as game sizes continue to increase, that 1 TB will go a long way.
