Sony Interactive Entertainment PlayStation 5 (model group - slim) Digital Edition

The PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition offers full next-gen console capabilities in a streamlined 2.6 kg enclosure at $518.99. Stripping out the optical drive lowers the physical profile and weight while retaining the exact same 10.3 TFLOPS GPU, 16GB GDDR6 memory, and fast 1TB SSD as its disc-based counterpart.
