This holiday season, Sony plans to release two new PlayStation consoles in the PlayStation 5 and the PlayStation 5 "Digital Edition."
The two consoles are identical with one exception: The Digital Edition has no disc drive.
Sony revealed both versions of the PlayStation 5 during a lengthy video broadcast on Thursday, and we got our first real look at the next-game PlayStation game console.
Here's every little detail we noticed about the futuristic-looking new console.

After months of speculation and teases, Sony finally unveiled the PlayStation 5 console on Thursday in a lengthy video presentation.

If nothing else, the PlayStation 5 looks distinct.

It is a relatively dramatic design departure from the last several generations of PlayStation console, with a two-tone finish, dramatic fins, and a glowing blue light emanating from the interior crevices.

While Sony didn't say anything about price or when the consoles would be released, here's every little detail of the PlayStation 5 that we spotted during the debut of the console:

Here is the standard edition PlayStation 5, which includes a Blu-ray disc drive:
