The Slimmer Playstation 5 Model Will Cost PHP 30,790 in the Philippines

/

Sony Interactive Entertainment has revealed the price of the lighter and slimmer PlayStation 5 model for Southeast Asia countries such as the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The price isn’t surprising as Sony plans to make this new model the standard version that will be available in all retail stores as they plan to phase out the older models as soon as stocks run out.

Here’s the price breakdown for each SEA country mentioned.

Philippines

  • PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – PHP 30,790

Singapore

  • PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – SGD 799

  • PS5 Digital Edition – SGD 66

Malaysia

  • PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – MYR 2,499

  • PS5 Digital Edition – MYR 2,069

Indonesia

  • PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – IDR 9,699,000

  • PS5 Digital Edition – IDR 8,199,000

Thailand

  • PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – THB 18,690

  • PS5 Digital Edition – THB 15,690

Vietnam

  • PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – VND 15,990,000

What’s interesting in this price breakdown from Sony is that the Philippines and Vietnam do not have a price for the digital edition of the console, the model that doesn’t come with a Blu-Ray disc drive but has the option to add one in the future.

The new PS5 consoles covers for the new model coming in early 2024

Sony also announced that new console covers for the new model are coming in early 2024. The new model will get the all-matte black colorway and the Deep Earth Collection, which contains Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, and Sterling Silver. These covers will be priced at $54 USD. There is no local pricing for Southeast Asia regions was announced.

Along with the launch of the slimmer PlayStation 5, Sony will be selling a new Vertical stand separately that will be compatible with all PS5 models and is priced as follows:

  • Philippines - PHP 1,690

  • Singapore - SGD 44.90

  • Malaysia - MYR 149

  • Thailand - THB 1,090

  • Vietnam - VND 799,000

Animal Well Review - A Wholly Unique Pixel Art Puzzle Masterpiece

It’s easy to describe Animal Well as a puzzle-focused Metroidvania eschewing traditional combat, where nearly every room is a puzzle room, but that falls so far short of describing just what this game is and how expertly it defies genre and classification that it feels like a disservice. Animal Well is a paragon of the art form, a game that simply must be experienced.

Stellar Blade Review - A Challenging Adventure That Doesn’t Stick the Landing

Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.

In the grand scheme of things, Capcom has delivered a sequel to make Dragon’s Dogma fans happy and wishing for more, but this isn’t a massive upgrade. Rather, it’s a modernization of the overall concept as the highs and lows of the first game mirror the sequel. If you can weather the storm that is Dragon’s Dogma 2, you might come out as one of the players who consider this one of the best RPG experiences they’ve ever played, or simply the worst.
