PS5 Slim Model and Peripheral Prices to Increase in Japan
Along with the announcement of a new PS5 Slim model console that will replace the current model and also increase the price of the digital edition of the console, Sony has revealed that Japanese players will begin to pay more for the console’s peripheral items.
Controllers, headphones, the HD camera, and the media remote control will all be increasing in price for Japan, though there’s been no mention as to whether or not this will be happening in other regions.
You can see all the price increases for yourself below.
