You’re familiar with the video game news cycle now: retailers erroneously upload information and the Internet implodes. In the latest example of professional websites not doing their research, a listing from Australian retailer The Good Guys appeared to confirm the existence of a PS5 Slim earlier today. Except, unsurprisingly, it didn’t!
The website claimed that a “new look, slimmer PS5” was available to purchase, and social media collectively lost its mind. But on further inspection, it turns out the description had been in place for several years, and previously referred to the PS4 Slim. In other words, It’s F*cking Nothing.gif and social media should be ashamed of its words and deeds.
Of course, in all likelihood, a redesigned PS5 is en route. Strong speculation suggests Sony is preparing a new model of its new-gen system with a detachable disc, which is said to be lining up a September release. There’s also ongoing chatter about a PS5 Pro, but that’s likely a lot further away – if, indeed, it even exists at all.

Article picture cracked me up.
Uff all the bs rumours about the ps5, slim, pro, overheating, low performance and whatever are really disgusting. Think we’ve never seen a console before with so much social media bs around it.
@Reeneman I guess on the plus side it shows how popular it is.
@get2sammyb absolutely true!
I’m all in on the discless version in September, why not, be almost 3 years and the current model is unwieldy, but I hope it has a name that isn’t “discless” or “slim”. And no, not “New PS5” either, I just can’t with that nonsense.😝. PS5 M, the M is for modular or minimalist? Eh.🤷🏻♂️
Not surprised people jumped on it. There's too many people craving likes, reposts and engagement.
Never believe any gaming news unless it comes from the source.
@Reeneman Are you new to social media? It is predominantly just abuse and bs no matter the topic. The days of the net just being cute cats and people bumping uglies are long gone.
My television can barley cover all the fancy video modes of stuff like Horizon, a pro is not needed. I would actually buy a slimmer version though, I hope it had a nice design.
@Reeneman @DrGonzo It’s honestly really stupid. As someone who owns both a PS5 and Switch, I’m sick of these PS5 Pro/Switch 2 rumours. But in reality, we don’t need them right now. I think the PS5 is already too powerful as a console and the Switch has a great balance between graphics, performance and battery life.
I am so sick of this "PS5 Pro" chatter. They were going on about this since the PS5 was barely even out as if theres a guarantee something like that will even exist. Considering the PS4 Pro didn't even sell all that well compared to the base model to begin with?
I like my current PS5. This winter I spared on heating a lot, so I’m not gonna change it.
Why are people hyped for a PS5 slim? yea different aesthetics, and maybe a slight buff of quality of CPU upgrades(doubtful) but I don't get the excitement.
