PlayStation 5 Slim Console Disc Version (RZ876070460C/CFI-2000 A01/CFI-2018 A01) Review

The PlayStation 5 Slim has arrived, and this bundle offers a compelling package: the new slimmer console alongside two controllers – a standard DualSense and a stylish camouflage controller. After weeks of intense gaming, I’m ready to share my in-depth review of this enhanced gaming experience.

This bundle boasts several key features. The most obvious is the slimmer PS5 console itself. Sony claims a reduction in volume and weight, and I can attest that it’s noticeably more compact than previous models. The new design is also aesthetically pleasing, with a nice two-tone finish. The inclusion of a second controller, especially the unique camouflage design, is a fantastic bonus adding to the value proposition. The Ultra HD Blu-ray drive ensures compatibility with a vast library of games. The haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and 3D audio, features that define the PS5 experience, are all present and fully realized.

The PS5 Slim’s performance is exceptional. Load times are incredibly fast, thanks to the lightning-quick SSD. I tested several demanding games, and the console handled them all with ease, consistently delivering smooth frame rates and stunning visuals. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers add a new level of immersion to gameplay. The 3D audio is also a significant improvement, enhancing the overall gaming experience.

Playing demanding games like Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West resulted in near-constant 60 FPS at high resolutions. Even running the notoriously demanding Spider-Man: Miles Morales consistently achieved over 40 FPS, showcasing the system’s powerful capabilities.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Sleeker design, faster loading times, improved performance, additional controller, excellent value for the bundle.
  • Cons: The included SSD is still only 1TB, meaning you might need to invest in an expansion drive for those who have an expansive game library.

The PlayStation 5 Slim Console Disc Version with the added camouflage controller is a fantastic gaming machine. The slimmer design is welcome, the bundle’s value is indisputable, and the performance remains top-tier. While the 1TB SSD might be a limitation for some, the overall experience makes this a highly recommended console, especially for those looking for a great deal and a visually striking controller.
