Overview

• Multiple outlets cite Dealabs leaker Billbil-Kun claiming the new Chassis E (CFI-2100) Digital Edition will replace the current 1TB drive with 825GB.
• Sony has not announced the change, and reports say the price in Europe would remain €499 while the disc-drive model keeps 1TB for now.
• The rollout is said to be limited to Europe at launch, with packaging reportedly marked 825GB to distinguish the revision.
• Coverage links the move to recent console price hikes and higher production costs, with Sony previously citing a challenging economic environment and tariff pressures.
• Reporters note the reduced storage is a meaningful downgrade for a download-only console, and early community reaction includes criticism over paying the same for less capacity.
