The PlayStation 5 is getting an unexpected price hike, thanks to the new ‘slim’ models.

Take a look at the new PlayStation 5 models below.

The new models are significantly smaller and slimmer compared to their predecessors, though their reduced size hasn’t exactly translated into a cheaper price, thanks to a very cheeky-priced add-on for the digital version.
The first two PlayStation 5 models either gave you the option to buy a console with a disc drive, or one without. The new models are the same, though if you buy the all-digital version and change your mind you can buy an attachable disc drive for it.
It joins another bizarre decision from Sony tocharge consumers separately for a vertical PS5 stand. The original models came with a stand that could either display your console on its side or standing upright, but the new ones will only come with a horizontal stand.
