An internet connection might be necessary to operate the built-in disc drive in the new PS5

According to information found on the back of the packaging for the set, fine print confirms that customers who choose the model with an additional disc drive will be required to connect to the internet during the initial setup of the device. This development has sparked various reactions and discussions in the gaming community.

Evidently, this requirement is related to security measures taken by Sony to ensure the authenticity of the disc drive and to prevent the use of third-party devices. However, it has also raised concerns about the long-term preservation of data and access to games.

There might come a point when the servers needed to verify licenses cease to function, which could become a problem for future owners of the PS5 Slim with the additional disc drive. However, according to some analysts, Sony could potentially release an update that removes this requirement in the future.

Experts believe that this issue is tied to a unique method of linking disc drives to the console's motherboards, which prevents their replacement or modification. This method could also be influenced by Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which prohibits the circumvention of technical measures controlling access to copyrighted works.

The new PS5 Slim promises to be more compact and versatile, catering to changing gamer needs. It comes with 1TB of built-in storage and includes a horizontal stand. Additionally, a separately purchasable Blu-ray disc drive for the PS5 Slim will be available for $79.99/ €119.99/ £99.99, and a vertical stand compatible with all PS5 models will be sold separately for $29.99/ €29.99/ £24.99.

Specialists expect the new model to become the main offering once the current PS5 stock is depleted. The gaming community is closely watching developments and awaits clarifications and updates from Sony.
