If you saw the news recently, Sony has raised the prices of the PS5 globally, but not in the U.S. However, it also has made a minor change to the consoles, as new reports claim that the Disc and Digital editions of the PS5 are now lighter than ever.

This is not the first time for the company to introduce lighter versions of the consoles. Sony had started selling the PS5 that weighed 300 grams lighter back in August. It seems like it's doing it again with new models, CFI-1202B (Digital console) and CFI-1202A (Disc console), in Australia that weigh even less.

Previously, some weight got taken away due to the usage of a smaller heatsink. However, it's still unsure how Sony achieves it this time until someone tears the machines apart. There were rumours saying that Sony was going to start using a 6nm chip for the consoles, allowing it to reduce the heatsink's size further thanks to a more efficient processor.

It's said that the CF-1200 models are expected to launch more widely on 15 September, starting in Japan. What do you think about the news? Does it sound like an improvement to you? Let us know your thoughts by leaving a comment, and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more tech reports.
