PlayStation 5 Digital Edition CFI-2100: New Update with Reduced SSD Capacity
The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition CFI-2100, an updated version of the console, has recently appeared on Amazon’s online stores in Italy, France, and Germany. This update brings a reduction in SSD capacity from 1 TB to 825 GB while maintaining the price of 499€, in line with the previous version. Although Sony has not officially confirmed this change, rumors and certifications suggest a focus on cost optimization in production.
Consumer Criticism and Availability
The primary difference between the CFI-2100 version and its predecessor lies in the decreased internal storage capacity. While performance remains unaffected, the reduction may impact the available space for games and applications. This alteration has faced criticism from consumers, who highlight it as a case of “shrinkflation,” where the product’s size decreases without a proportional decrease in price.
The CFI-2100 variant is currently accessible on select European online stores, with estimated delivery dates spanning from October 2025 to March 2026. Prospective buyers are advised to review the storage specifications prior to purchase, as older versions with 1 TB SSD may still be obtainable at certain retail locations.
