Sony's Sleek New $350 Midnight Black PS5 Comes With Big Catch
Sony has announced a Midnight Black version of its PS5 Digital Edition, delivering a sleek, stealthy alternative to the familiar white number plus an aggressive price tag of roughly $350. Sadly, this console is a Japan-only exclusive. Nonetheless, the November 19 launch (the same day Grand Theft Auto VI arrives) will be great buy for budget-conscious Japanese gamers.
The new Midnight Black variant follows last year's Japanese PS5 Digital Edition release, whereby both models retain regional hardware boundaries to prevent international re-exporters and scalpers from buying up stock. The console language is permanently set to Japanese, and it functions exclusively with PlayStation Network accounts registered to Japan.
Under the hood, it's all standard PS5 specs, including an 825GB custom SSD, 3D audio, and high-speed GDDR6 memory. Sony is also introducing a matching Midnight Black detachable disc drive for 11,980 yen (around $76) for those who want some backwards compatibility.
