Launch PS5 (Rev1): 7nm chip, original heatsink
Rev2 PS5: 6nm chip, lighter heatsink, same everything else
PS5 Slim (Rev3): 6nm chip, even lighter heatsink, 1TB storage (up from 825GB), new smaller design (slightly different ports/button layout)
From testing, it looks like the Slim has the same exact power draw and thermal profile as the Rev2, but slightly different noise characteristics (roughly the same dB loudness). Performance is identical across all three revisions. The extra storage in the Slim is nice; they also changed the storage controller to a less complicated one, likely because there's no measurable gain in load times (people have installed slow Gen4 drives in PS5s and found they have roughly the same in-game performance as the fastest ones within margin of error).

Slim is lighter, smaller, more storage and performs the same vs "looks different"
Somehow that made him stress that he had "mixed feelings" about it. I think he even said his biggest criticism (self admittedly subjective) would be fixed via 3rd party...which was the same fix used in the original to even generate the criticism.
The stand, I guess, is the only somewhat legit difference.
Either way, it looks like original bundles will probably be the same price. So Spiderman 2 (regular)...if you could find a limited edition then that would definitely be worth considering. You might be able to find old stock of an FF16 bundle.
