The PS5 Slim launched at the same price that the original launch model PS5 had.

Its of the same design language, but not exactly the same either.

It took over the same price point and is thus a straight swap.

The US price has remained the same, however.

Within the PlayStation 5 ecosystem itself, we now have the PS5 Pro to factor into the equation.

Sony has a history of making refined, smaller, and slimmer versions of all its home consoles.

On a practical performance level, using the PS5 Slim is a joy too.

While a generally top gamepad, the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers continue to feel brilliant.

Thus, the PS5 Slim is an easy recommendation.

Should I buy the PS5 Slim?

The haptic feedback in particular is a dream, while the adaptive triggers also offer further immersion.
