New PS5 Digital Edition (CFI-1100B) revision is 300g lighter and changed the base's screw.

[Arubedo]

A new revision of the PS5 Digital Edition has been listed on Japanese websites (CFI-1100B) and PlayStation uploaded the pdf version of the new manuals.
If you compare it with the OG model (CFI-1000B), the console is 300g lighter and they added a thumb screw for the base.

 

[Wrexis]

7% lighter. Wonder what changed?

 

[EssBeeVee]

Is this the ps5 pr0 we all been waiting for?

 

[Foot]

Damn, that's a lot of grams

 

[Kaswa101]

Next gen weight loss

 

[kikuchiyo]

Does it cut down in the infernal fan noise?

 

[Embrodak]

More stability!

 

[DC5remy]

I bet it was a fan change?

 

[DOT_mjo]

Wonder what they changed to cause the weight reduction. And thumb screws FTW.

 

[Maxime]

Didn't realize the screw was this heavy.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

If I find out they evicted the Astrobots just to make the console lighter I'm going to be pissed

PS5 Slim more like.

 

[vivftp]

I'd assume they shaved some weight off that massive heatsink

 

[Guru Meditation]

That's a pretty significant weight reduction wow.

 

[tapedeck]

Wonder if the disc PS5 is getting this revision soon.

 

[Tora]

I pray that this reduces the coil whine somehow.

Good that it's a thumb screw now, should have been like that since the start.

 

[TitlePending]

Wow, didn't expect a PS5 DE Slim so early into the generation!

 

[hey it's that dog]

How many grams does the original weigh?

 

[Brix]

Daaamn. I would love to have a 2nd PS5. This revision if it comes to fruition will be a day one buy for me.

 

[Liam Allen-Miller]

Excited to feel it when the patch hits.

 

[Falchion]

Some collector is going to have to cop this.

The noise is caused mainly by two transistors inside the PSU.

How many grams does the original weigh?

3.9kg for the digital edition.

 

[Bowl0l]

How heavy is the heatsink? If it's more than 300g, Sony probably replaced it with a thermal pad /s

 

[Zexen]

300g is not an insignificant amount, wonder what's been cut.

 

[Pankratous]

Will I be able to download this weight loss to my current PS5?

 

[Y2Kev]

Wow they took off the orange port.

 

[hey it's that dog]

3.9kg for the digital edition.

Thanks. I see now that it's in the OP but I couldn't read those images on mobile.

 

[Teiresias]

Probably less hefty heatsink and lighter/cheaper fan. Enjoy your jet engine.

 

[Lifejumper]

Apparently this is the PS5 Air edition without a fan.

 

[Lee Morris]

This seems super quick for a somewhat significant console revision. I can't remember one ever happing this quickly before

 

[Slash]

Mine has awful coil whine so I really hope that this fixed it.

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

No thanks, I like my PS5 thicc

 

[Orbis]

That's one heavy screw.

 

[Deleted member 4212]

Oh there's a screw in there? Whoops I should figure that out

 

[Sim]

ight gonna throw my ps5de in the trash

 

[Oneself]

Can it still be placed upside down?

 

[Iucidium]

I'd assume they shaved some weight off that massive heatsink

Click to shrink...

That's what I was thinking

 

[Manta_Breh]

is the screw used for the horizontal side as well?


I abso-fukin-lutely hate the way we need to incorporate the stand for horizontal, the latches are so fukin weak/wobbly. It's a legit pain sometimes to go back in there and stick an hdd or reach the ports at the back. Whoever designed it that way should never design something ever again.

 

[jroc74]

Curious to know whats changed internally or cosmetic wise to get it lighter.

Original PS3 with full hardware PS2 compatibility never even made it to Europe.

 

[cardboardboxer]

Thumb screw! Man I am jealous of that, I didn't even use the screw on the base for a week because it wasn't an obvious thumb screw.

I dont think "we all" have been waiting for a PS5 Pro...unless its sarcasm and I missed it, lol.

Yup, there have been numerous posts about past revisions and how fast they were during this time period.

 

[resultant]

How will this affect my top speed when running with my PS5 Digital Edition in hand????

 

[SP.]

I feel like I won the lottery having gotten a silent PS5 DE and Series X. Didn't realize people had noise issues with theirs, I've never heard either of the new consoles.

 

[AndyD]

And heatsink too. And probably less plastic for better airflow.

 

[Praedyth]

Patch notes:
- removed the driver weight to match the ausence of disc driver

 

[TwoDots]

Who knew that there could be a 300 gr. difference between two screws!?

 

[Rayasab]

Did they get rid of the cool wine?

 

[degauss]

1/3 of a KG, decent amount, I would guess they probably whacked a bit off the heat speaker after testing that it made no difference for it to be smaller.

I'm definitely going to eventually sell my PS5 digital and get another one that's hopefully quieter. I have the noisiest PS5 of the people I know with one.
