New PS5 model has reached the market

Although at the moment we have no information about a possible PS5 Slim or PS5 Pro, we have seen new models of the base console in recent years, with a series of minor changes. In this way, it was recently announced that in Australia a new version of Playstation 5 is already on sale, which has a lower weight.

According to Press Start, in Australia it is already on sale The CFI-162A model of the PS5 with record reader, which weighs 3.9 kg . In comparison, the original version was in the 4.5 kg. Meanwhile, the new CFI-162B digital model for the digital edition of the console, now weighs 3.4 kg, compared to the 3.9 kg we saw during its launch.

This means that the most recent model of the PS5 with record reader now weighs the same as the Digital PS5 in its launch . This is not the first time something like that happens, since last year the CFI-1100 model was available, which also reduced the weight of the console thanks to a change in the heat dissipator used. Unfortunately, for the moment it is unknown what type of modifications have been applied to the CFI-17202.

In related issues, PlayStation acquires a new study. Similarly, the price of PS5 has increased in Mexico and more countries.

Editor's note:

Considering the production crisis, it is very likely that these changes are a consequence of how difficult it has been to find certain parts in the market. This would also mean that the PS5 Slim or Pro are still far from being a reality while this situation continues.
