The PS5 'Slim' is expected to launch in the very near future — the 8th November if the most recent report is to be believed — and now, the new model has been spotted out there, somewhere in the real world. A picture of a Modern Warfare 3 PS5 bundle has surfaced on social media, and it quite clearly features the recently revealed 'Slim' console.
It's a bit mad to think that there's still no official release date for this thing, but then it feels like all of the marketing so far has been very muted. As we've mentioned before, this revised system is being treated as a replacement for the existing PS5 models — and not some kind of evolution.
In any case, if the 'Slim' is showing up on store shelves, then a confirmed launch date can't be far away. Don't be surprised if Sony wheels one out within the next week or so.

They don't really need to announce a date or hype something much if it's just replacing something that will stop being made and sold. Obviously they will show it somewhere, and new adverts will feature the new look, but its not like an actual new thing, it's just a PS5
Modern Warfare 3 PS5 bundle? I bet Microsoft would love to buy Sony and sell Spider-Man 3/Horizon Now Allowed West Xbox bundles.
I don't think they should waste money on marketing it, let the games that are bundled with the slim do that for them. Good idea, in my opinion.
It’s a shame they not giving it a bit of push a UK release date so we can pre order etc.
some of us might actually want one and be interested etc. As it might fit better in our entertainment systems or a second console for a bedroom.
Is a bit stupid of Sony to sit back and do bugger all for the UK and I guess a Europe, the nation that has taken PlayStation where it is today and to their gaming hearts.
I am fine with my FAT version. If they'd introduce Pro i'd consider selling my current and buying that. If there will be no Pro then my next console will be PS6.
@Tr3mm0r yes, that is how the slim works in every single generation.
@SlipperyFish I know. I was late for PS4 and there was slim only when i decided to switch from PC to Sony.
@Rhaoulos What a world we live in where a Sony console is sold with… nay, launched with… an Xbox Game Studios title
@Tr3mm0r that's probably a good thing, ps4 slim was a lot better imo. I kind of wish I waited for ps5 slim though, few issues on my ps5 that hopefully the slim solves
There's still the mystery of the Kojima State of Play tweet and Stellar Blade 2023. As Sony usually does State of Play on Thursdays, perhaps we're getting one on October 26th or November 2nd and they announce the release date there?
Still glad I got the giant OG model, that slim one looks really aren’t jiving with me. Sony does have some odd designs with its home consoles lol. But then I think the PSP was a stunning piece of design.
@Grumblevolcano I suspect you'll see Kojima at Geoff's TGA show.
Can't wait for direct comparison
@NinjaNicky I'm sure a third-party company will make that happen
Eww y did it have to be a mw3 bundle I'd rather just the console
Sounds like the release date is spot on as MW3 releases on the 10th, as my OG PS5 has peed its pants I'll be dipping into the slim.
@S1ayeR74 I've liked pretty much all Sony's consoles up to and including the PS4 Pro.
PS5 is just vile - I keep my hidden behind the TV unit which is thankfully tall enough. The Tub o' Lard (its official name) only has the disc drive accessible.
Only other I detested was the PS3 Super Slim with it's cheesy sliding lid though that might have been more to do with it being a cheap and nasty earache with its loud Blu-ray drive and inability to stand up when changing a disc. Sold that on to someone else and bought a 2500 series Slim which is still working quietly to this day!
For absolutely no important reason, except idle curiosity, I REALLY want to see them side by side. How CHONKY is it?
Why is there still an 8K logo on the PS5 box???
Honest question:
What is the difference between the Slim and the Diskless/Digital?
@Spider-Kev modular disc drive. + two front usb-c, and a bit smaller. Hopefully new fan and PSU but we'll see
