The PS5 Slim was released last year and aims to replace the original launch model of Sony’s latest home console. Its design is sleeker than its older, chunkier brother, and the Digital Edition allows for users to attach a PS5 Disc Drive if you want to use it play physical media. It’s a cheaper alternative to the incoming PS5 Pro, which will set you back $699.99/£699.99.

PS5 Pro offers more power under the hood and employs Sony’s fancy new PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) to improve performance of games, such as increased frame rates and high fidelity visuals.
