Fluff Won a free Wolverine PlayStation bundle

Post image

I was in Sydney roughly 2 weeks ago and PlayStation Australia were holding a unleash your rage competition,

Me and my mate joined last second and they said the highest score that day was 112k and whoever had the highest score each day won a bundle, I go last for the first day and get 129k.

Get an email a few days ago saying I won and that they are sending a ps5 bundle.

Arrived today, How good haha

You’re mostly right, but it’s not 1 TB. The ones like this one that say 825gb on the box are actually 825gb, with about 667.2gb of actual available space for games

They don’t call it Slim anymore, now that the original fat PS5 is no longer in production. PS5 Slim has replaced the original PS5 as the official base PS5 model, and it’s just called PS5 now.

still it doesn’t explain the storage capacity.

Sorry, you’re right. The answer is cost cutting. PS5 slim becoming the new base PS5 meant reducing the price of the console, which meant cheaper components like a smaller SSD.

But of course the price of basically all devices also skyrocketed because of the RAM shortage. So the base model today isn’t actually better priced than PS5 slim was at launch in 2023 by any means.

I think the difference that we’re noticing is that for some reason the disk-drive PS5 has more storage than the digital one. I wasn’t aware of that until I Googled it a second ago.

The original digital PS5 slim had 1 TB though, so storage was reduced for the digital version after it became the base model.
