“PlayStation likewise sells a less expensive Digital Edition for $399.99, and is expected to release a PlayStation 5 Slim later this year at the same reduced price point,” reads the document.

The bombshells continue, with Microsoft saying further down “Sony is also anticipated to release a handheld version of PlayStation 5 later this year for under $300”. This is in relation to Sony’s announced Project Q, a handheld game streaming device that wirelessly connects to the PS5. Sony has yet to announce a release date or price.

    It’s pretty obvious at this point that Microsoft knows about as much as we do about what sonys plans are, it’s all speculation based on rumour. Best to take these things with a pinch of salt

    Is this the device that will have the detachable disk drive? If yes, this price is for sure without the disc drive

    The slim would be awesome to have. Makes it worth waiting for the new version, but it’s not like I had a choice anyways, the PS5 has been a hard item to purchase.

    I’ve been waiting a bit to get a PS5, since I figure they’ll release a “Pro” version sometime within the next few years. I already have a massive backlog and a PS4 Pro.

    I was hoping for a new version with a disc drive, but I guess we’ll see.
