They've already said it was a placeholder.
I'm in that boat, my PS4 library is totally digital but I don't want it to be cheaper, I want more internal storage.Which is kind of logical as I'll have more downloaded stuff to stick on it.
I might be wrong it's just with people concerned about price having a cheaper option that also pushes digital might be not such a bad idea as far as Sony is concerned. If the internal SSD storage is upgradeable then most people will probably be replacing the internal storage down the line anyway as capacities increase so they'd be paying extra for an SSD that they will immediately replace?
Maybe they will have 2 digital only SKU's with a standard size and larger size? who knows.

I suppose. Having no disc drive will be extra pennies towards an NVMe SSD then.

Looks like it’s hard enough to house some 120mm fans 
plenty of room for air to go.

Kena, Deathloop, Ghostwire, Oddworld, Godfall, Solar Ash, Little Devil Inside, Jett, Bugsnax, Goodbye Volcano High, Project Athia and Stray are all timed console exclusives. They will all launch on Playstation and PC.
It's a good time to be a PC gamer
If I don't buy a PS5, I'll miss Spider Man, Horizon, and Ratchett & Clank. I can live with that to save £400-£600
It's a bit of an eye-sore tbh. I don't like the design, and if you get the one with the drive, it looks even worse because the symmetry is all wrong. I know the Series X is a big box, but at least it's an all-black big box.
Also, so much for the exclusives being exclusives. Most of them are going to end up on PC, and exclusives have always been Sony's hold on the console market for years. With there being so few at launch, I wonder how it will fare this time around? I'll happily stick with an Xbox and PC. There's also more parity between Xbox and PC with Game Pass etc, so I don't see how Sony are going to stack up if their exclusives are so weak at launch. Got to wonder what their first-party developers have been doing for all this time...

Surely not?
It's enormous! No wonder it's bordered in white. Helps to make it look slimmer.
It looks like the same height as the width of a traditional hifi amp/cd player unit.

doing some quick analysis 40cm high 9.11 width at top and 9.87 at the bottom, ish.

Looks like I wasn't far wrong after my prediction of it looking like a Sky satellite box after seeing the DualSense controller.
They could easy fit the games onto something like the sky card.
Aloy goes to San Francisco was neat though. I'm looking forward to that.

When's the MS conference? Don't care about looks or graphics, just want something new or different and for the current gen MS offered absolutely nothing so went with a PS4. Wondering if that will change this gen.
Size comparison
That can't be right, that would make the controller as large as the original xbox duke
Xbox event is in about a month I think.
Be interesting to see how it compares with content, hopefully it'll have more than 20-30 second clips of game cinematics.
That is already debunked.
