Spotted a new serial code for PS5 units.
According to what reported by Press-Start, PS5 Digital Edition it should receive a slight upgrade by becoming 300 grams lighter and include a new screw for the base mount that can be adjusted without the use of a screwdriver.
Oddly, this update was never reported to PS5 standard, but it appears that this too has been updated in a similar way. Press-Start can confirm that all of the Australian PS5 stock that landed in the country last week contains a new model number (CFI-1102A).
A buyer confirmed that this new model does indeed include the new screw which can be adjusted by hand (and doesn’t require a screwdriver) and while we can’t confirm at this time, the console is assumed to be slightly lighter than the original PS5 model. .
Sony has not yet confirmed the exact changes to this new model number, and as far as we know, these are the first new models on the way.
It will be interesting to find out what’s different inside these PS5s and what makes them lighter.
