Sony's updated PS5 Slim launches with less storage in Europe
"Sony launched an updated PlayStation 5 digital console in Europe, but instead of offering 1TB of storage for €499, it now comes with just an 825GB Solid-State Drive (SSD) at the same price, as reported earlier by Eurogamer. YouTuber Austin Evans discovered the change in a teardown video posted earlier this week, confirming an earlier report from gaming bargain hunter billbil-kun."
"Though the refreshed PS5 says it comes with 825GB on the box, Evan found that the console only has 667.2GB of usable storage due to the operating system and other apps included with the console. Meanwhile, the older, digital-only version of the console with a 1TB SSD has 848GB of usable storage. Aside from the storage change, the updated PS5 comes with a new matte finish, along with smaller components that make it about 100 grams lighter than its predecessor."

The console box lists 825GB, but only 667.2GB is usable after accounting for the operating system and preinstalled apps; the older 1TB model provided 848GB usable. The refreshed console features a new matte finish and smaller components, making it roughly 100 grams lighter. Sony has not explained the storage reduction or confirmed global availability.
