PS5 Slim Teardown Reveals Similar Size and Components to Original Model

TL;DR Summary
The first teardown videos of the new PS5 slim model have been posted online, revealing that the slim machine is "not that much smaller" than the original. The disc drive is surprisingly easy to remove without tools, while the SSD bay still requires a screwdriver. The new horizontal stand, consisting of two plastic clips, has received heavy criticism. The recommended retail prices for the new PS5 models have been announced, with a $50 increase for the Digital Edition in the US. The setup process of the new console confirms that a one-off internet connection is required to pair the detachable disk drive, likely as a security measure.
