The PS5 Slim is now available for purchase, either with or without a disk drive. In addition to its more compact housing, the console also comes with a larger SSD and an additional USB-C port, but offers little added value. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Sony-PlayStation-5-Slim-now-available-for-purchase.772828.0.html
Sony never said it's a slim version. I have the box and the word slim is nowhere to be seen.
