@@LockieezSure it does. It can measure how well your new thermal interface material is able to pull the heat from the CPU/GPU chip if you compare the exhausted heat before and after. MORE heat coming out of the exhaust of your cooling solution is a *good* thing after all, right? It doesn't mean that your cooling solution isn't cooling properly if it's hotter. Since the way it does it's cooling, is to TRANSFER the heat elsewhere (the air). More exhaust heat means less chip heat. Knowing this fact you could compare between say, a newer and older designed cooling solution... Especially if you knew the watts of heat that the console is generating by measuring it's draw with a kill-a-watt... Which they've done. To be completely fair here though, it seemed to me more like they just wanted to see how hot your Xbox is going to be to the touch, compared to previous versions... I don't think its any deeper than that. Measuring the heat from the case is a great way to measure how hot the case will be to the touch, I believe you'll agree! Haha. I think I may have sounded condescending here, but I assure you it was not intended. You're right, the most valuable data is really going to be the heat from the chipset (and various other areas inside the case if you wanted) itself. You can do everything with chipset/inner case temps that you can possibly do with exhaust temps. Plus a whole ton more.... I was just trying to say that exhaust temps aren't COMPLETELY useless. You likely already knew this too, if that's the case then I'm just doing it for someone else that doesn't know! Cheers!
Why are people still acting like a controller using AA batteries is a bad thing.

Yeah my Xbox controller with Eneloops lasts few TIMES longer than pathetic DualNonsense battery. And then there are all the other benefits that you explained.
Those Duracell AA 2500 mAh rechargables are way better than any controller stock batteries, they last so long before needing to be recharged, I bought my mate them and they lasted 2 weeks before they died and he games frequently
They 100% can, it might be someone who has no clue what they are doing with it and may cause an issue in the first place or further an issue same thing happens with power tools and cell phones...
100% can and should do. Imagine if someone messes with capacitors or power components and then sends it up for repair and they blow up in the worker's face. who should be responsible then? Warranty means that a company guarantees that a product should work as expected, as long as it is not tampered with. you have the right to open it up, but then you are on your own.
but why would they do that! that would lose them money! just like why they wouldn't put hall effect sensors in the controllers! these horrible practices have made me tune out of consoles completely.
Agree ive been an xbox supporter for a long time , but its getting really hard to justify my loyalty, I was waiting for the xbox release , but now knowing they still won't allow 3rd party m.2s and no upgrades to CPU and GPU I'm done with xbox .
There's no reason to upgrade to the 2024 models, older models are 300$, if you save 10c on the new 600$ model it'll take you years to reap the benefits.
Yes, this is technically correct, but the problem is that it is considered a civil matter. The company can still decline your claim and the cost of taking the company to court to enforce their warranty would likely be far more than paying for a new console.
To this day I still prefer the convenience of having the disc drive especially with how many games Xbox supports through backwards compatibility. I’ve kept my whole 360 physical library from over the decades so it’s nice I can enjoy them on the newest console with graphical improvements. Old news but still valid more than ever imo. Keep physical alive as long as we can.
@@SeanMoynagh-s8x no they’re not “all” compatible. Microsoft has a list on its website. Only Xbox One games are “all” compatible. The 360 has a smaller library and the OG is even smaller.
The weight of the console is a HUGE factor when it comes to making an informed buying decision. I know I'm always carrying my console around with me everywhere I go.
Not gonna lie, I don’t understand why everybody doesn’t like the fact that the Xbox controllers use batteries. The fact that I can swap out dead batteries for new ones means I don’t have to worry about having a long charging cable if I’m in the middle of a gaming session plus I can always just have a fresh pack of rechargeable battery packs on demand.
Yup this was definitely possible. But also goes to show you how the expandable storage decision Sony made was so much better. You could get a 2TB ssd for $130 almost all the time.
I got my Series X for 250 second hand and it's been excellent, before that I got a Series S for 150 and that was three years ago. Microsoft is just pulling strings
Batteries in controllers? How is that convenient? You actually WANT to have a brick for a controllers when the batteries give out in 1 or 2 years?? Or worse yet, wait 2 weeks to send your controllers in to M$ for your replacement battery pack? 😂😂😂💀💀💀
@@CertifiedClapaholic Might’ve not been fully clear, but reread my comment. Panasonic Eneloops are some of the best AA rechargeable batteries out there, love them.
@@CertifiedClapaholicehh I use batteries and I use alkaline batteries not copperhead and they last me good while at least 3 4 of charge days at least for me
the consoles sell at a loss at the start of a generation, making it cheaper to manufacture means they can now turn a profit, not keep giving you charity.
@@yoda9256Yeah man sounds good. Pay another $700 to get the features Playstation was selling to me 4 years ago when I bought the base PS5. Remember that big gold 8K logo on the side of your PS5 box? And you don't see the issue with the PS5 Pro no?
I prefer batteries or a removable battery before the dualsense method. And i think we all wanted a series S with a disk drive over a series X without one.
Tell me you are joking please, the price of the S might be real nice but it being 3 times less powerful than the X is a big problem, I play ark survival ascended on the S currently and it crashes an obscene amount, yet my mate plays on an X and doesn't crash at all. So why would you want a disc drive added to it when developers are struggling to get the games to work properly on the S as it is?
@@__-Andrew-__ because people doesn't care about intense graphics and a lot of people play on 1080p or on a nintendo switch and a digital version only just set back people with Blu rays and older xbox games on discs (and some of this games doesn't appear on the store anymore like for example prince of persia the sands of time or the reboot)
@@jorgecebamanos4894 it's not about the graphics, it's the fact the game is pretty much unplayable on the series s compared to the series x and obviously if you want the disc drive just buy the original that has a disc drive, personally I only play digital and stream movies online so I don't need the disc drive.
@@__-Andrew-__ bro there are more series s in the world than there are series x. devs would more than likely optimize for the series s more than the x because there is more of series s than series x.
LOVING these console deep dives my man. you rarely go deep, but when you do, I just love, I am all for it. You are officially the console reviewing king of youtube now. great job man, and big thanks from all the gamers out there.
IMO, with the digital only consoles, the creators could be making them much smaller or to fill the larger shell with better and more efficient cooling.
The disk drive isn’t the issue, the top fan and split motherboard are what are keeping the Series X design the same, digital or otherwise. Plus, the SX is already a triumph in design and engineering, considering how small it is relative to the performance it has.
Both the companies are selling vanilla cake with a few sprinkles on the top and calling it a special edition 😂😂 My condolences to those who actually finds a difference in taste 😂
I mean, it's better than what PlayStation is offering when it comes to its "pro" version. No problem controller, no stand, no disk drive. But for 700? I'm just saying Xbox did something right fr. They appeased the market by filling in the price gaps with the current systems, by releasing 3 updated versions ranging now from 250-600. A win is a win
In the U.S., it is generally illegal for companies to void a warranty just because you open your device or break a "warranty void" sticker. This is due to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
“Porsche driving through the forest” is not a corvette driving down the street. He was just referring to a different point in the game intro they didn’t show.
Videos like this are so cool to me because I love the idea of dissecting things and understanding them from an engineering point of view. Good work, Austin.
Just buy charging packs that slot in better than using AAs, as for dual sense are people really only having 1 controller? Just use one and charge one. Takes seconds to switch between them.
@@Drunken_Horse or better just use rechargable AA batteries that way you can power anything with it, the TV remote, the controller, even some mice nowadays like most razer hyperspeed mice use AA batteries
Another counterpoint, when those built in batteries stop functioning you actually cannot use the PS5 controller, even when it's plugged into USB. I really wish people would stop bitching and moaning about having a choice because guess what, you can use the Xbox without the AA Batteries, just plug in a wire. Unless a wire murdered your entire family I don't see the issue, no matter the use case.
@@RussellSenpai Wires do indeed suck though, more so the more you have, so I'll gladly take the portable batteries option for when one gets sick and tired of wrangling the things.
Why would you be so rude about the AA batteries?? The controller will never have a battery problem because you can just easily put in new batteries. I use rechargeable AA batteries and always have good ones ready to go. I hate my PS3 and PS4 controllers that have DEAD lion batteries but would otherwise still function great if it weren’t for the stupid permanent battery.
It only took 4 years for Microsoft and Sony to finally realize anything less than 2TB of internal storage is utterly moronic in a time where a single damn game is 300GB in size.
Wait. 1:53 You mean to tell me that MSFT/Xbox has 8K branding on the packaging? Everyone was blasting Sony for having 8K on the PS5 all the while Xbox has had the same branding. I don’t think my original Series X packaging has 8k on it, i think it’s just 4k/120hz.
The difference is that the ps5 although capable of outputting 8k it doesn't support it which is dumb. The Xbox SX however does actually support outputting 8k resolution
I am so confused as to why this console is not getting the backlash the PS5 Pro is. They added a TB of storage, but took away the disc drive and did not add any performance enhancements. You can't even attach a disc drive at a later date. The damn thing costs $600.
because its 600 with 2 tb, disk drive and stand. Its also a limited edtion that adds more value. Same combo for ps5 pro will cost over $800. it will be more powerfull sure, but we yet to see any significant enhancements at all
@@onepieceluffy7692 Them and PC fanboys whose rigs happen to be less powerful than PS5 Pro. They also hate the fact that it'll have PSSR which is about as good as DLSS, so they can no longer gloat about it.
@@tarifulahmed3352 Interesting. Aside from the price advantage, you can add a Disc drive on PS5 digital, you cant on Xbox. The only advantage on Xbox is that you can replace the SDD(although it requires tech work).
question is then, Is the price difference worth it? Are you willing to lose the disk drive for the older og/360/one games. I know i would never the whole reason i got a series X (on the cheap through refurbished) is for my old collection. No console will enter my house after this, got a top notch pc no online fees etc etc. If you like console you do you and i wont judge but this xbox ditigal series x seems highly unneeded same goes for the ps5 pro. Only console that is "needed" for now is a switch 2 bc lets face it, switch hardware is stoneage hardware by now.
Don't have any discs and have been using digital only for years now, we gameshare so we get our games half price or take it turns buying the games, same goes for dlc unless it's account bound obviously.
I think it’s funny that people care so much about back compatibility, as if the OG hardware doesn’t exist or is hard to get your hands on. I have 2 original, unmodded Xbox 360s connected to my tv right now. They still work fine & play all my Xbox 360 games like normal. When I play those same games on my Series X, it’s not a better experience.
I don't understand the complaints for xbox controller battery choices. I think it's the best of all worlds. You can use disposable double A's, you can use rechargeable double A's, you can use rechargeable battery packs that charge through the controller and you can use rechargeable battery packs that can use a standalone dock to swap out - stores 4 packs. -- All batteries fail. When the PS5 batteries fail in 10 years, you will have so much more trouble changing those out than the xbox batteries. The only valid argument is the extra cost. But the rechargeable battery packs with four batteries and a dock costs about $30 - $40 for four batteries. It's not that bad.
with the ps5 batteries failing, thats one fix you need to do and you are good for years. instead of always having to juggle batteries and such. I guess it depends on everyones setup. on the PC, i can go wired without issues so perhaps different for me.
Lol it costs $5 for a ps5 controller battery and takes 5 minutes of effort to swap it out the xbox controller lacks multiple features the ps4 controller had and is the same price

nice, i was already planning on picking up the special edition 2 tb model. i'll just pop the 2 TB expansion in and call it a day with 4TB total capacity. i'll support physical versions whenever possible.
They went from warranty void if removed sticker to serial number lost if removed. And without a serial number on the console they'll refuse to go through with the Warranty process. Smart.
my Xbox 360 controller is still rocking to this day thanks to recharageable AA batteries , its now attached to my secondary gaming pc. Still working absolutely fine.
Give me standardized AA batteries which are both easily replaceable and rechargeable like in the Xbox controller any day over built in batteries like in other controllers 👊 Built in batteries which are special for that device have nothing to do in devices that really don’t need it, like a game controller. Sure a phone which don’t have space for it is something different.
This was definitely a fun watch. I always love seeing what’s in a system and what differences can be found in later versions. (My personal favorite is seeing the PS2 fat against the Slim such a massive tech innovation)
I will never buy a digital version of a console. It means you will never physically own anything you purchase and it can be taken away from you at any point. I will never live my life based on a subscription purchase.
I don't want to ruin your day. but you know that the disc's that you are just used as a kind of license that you bought it, and they still can deny you access to your game while you have a disc
@@Rem0n89 No they aren't. Some games are like that. Some games aren't. Stop spreading BS because you know Xbox is the only one doing what you are talking about. For example, FFVII Rebirth on PS5, one of the biggest modern games this year, is on two 100gb bluray discs and can be installed and played 100% offline. The same with Remake on PS4 and its dual 50gb discs. Series x uniquely has serious problems this gen. 1 The install base is so pathetic, that the number of users with a series console that has a physical drive, after 4 years, is barely 7 million. 2 Xbox won't use 100gb bluray discs for their games this gen, only 50gb discs. 3. From the last point, this makes physical games going forward EVEN MORE hard to justify on Xbox. For example, Hellblade 2 never got a physical release. Why? Because the game is over 100gbs in size. So do they release a single disc version, so you have to download the rest of it, REALLY bringing attention to the fact of the limitation (there are loads of Xbox fans that don't know about the 50gb bluray disc thing). This is the part that comes closer to what you were talking about needing internet and its the MO for most Xbox 1st pary games this gen. Or do they release it on 3 discs so that the whole game is on there but now the manufacturing goes up......... and its only for a tiny install base of less than 7 million series x consoles. Oh and sorry to ruin your day with real facts and not made up shite.
I don't understand why the all digital XSX is only getting 1TB storage while the paint splatter disc XSX is getting 2TB. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Not everything needs to be rechargeable I rather have Batteries or the Xbox Battery Pack than a rechargeable slot once they die out it’s gone forever and just a paperweight of a controller Xbox knows how to keep Longevity! I got the 2TB cant wait for it!
Lol it costs $5 for a ps5 controller battery and takes 5 minutes of effort to swap it out the xbox controller lacks multiple features the ps4 controller had and is the same price
All cry babies in the comments including this guy, crying about AA batteries but for me a pack of 20 that costs me around £11/12 and lasts me like for a looong time, i don't need to charge it, i don't need to worry about wires, AA batteries save your controller from being damaged. People don't notice but ps controllers battery health dies fast. And its a lot more comfortable while playing.
Fun fact for anyone who's "keeping it physical" Go offline with your xbox and try to install a game from a CD. Can't do it with any backwards comp game for a start Most games don't even have the whole file on the blueray Enhoy your big lie you've been telling yourself that you're somehow safe and own things 😂
I mostly use the disc tray for movies. 😂 Yeah pretty sad how even with a disc tray and spendy console, games costing so much.... You still have to have Internet, and download the game. I miss the old days of just popping in a disc. 😢
So its all digital for this incremental xbox series X hardware update 🧐, i prefer to have both options (digital and physical media) anyway c'est la vie
Yes, we WANT that slot for "AA Batteries." It's called a rechargeable battery pack & they're a lot cheaper than having to replace an entire controller when the only thing wrong with the controller is that the built in batteries have died.
everyone makes fun of AA batteries in the controller. I'm all for it. Just use rechargable AA batteries. You buy 4, 2 are always in the charger while the other 2 are in the controller, this way you have always a charged pair of batteries and if it goes bad, it's not propriatary, so you can buy cheap replacements. This way you'll never encounter the situation when you want to play, pick up your controller and the batteries are low, so you need to charge them. Just pop in the other pair of batteries and you are good to go. Am I the only one who thinks like this?
@@andyscoming4919 PS5 design way nicer. Even though the xbox one x was more powerful than PS4 Pro the PS3 is actually the best designed console of all time.
PCs haven't needed disc games in many many years. In the end of the day, the disc is just a medium for data transfer, you either download, or instal the disc, and if you go disc, the after it's been installed is just a key to let you play, the disc isn't actually used for playing a game

i mean both are rip offs with the ps5 pro being the more popular console. i think most people don't even know a new digital xbox series x is coming out lol.
@Boneso1982 like I said, both are rip-offs. The $100 price difference between the two is not much in the US, but in other countries, the difference is much larger.

I thought warranty stickers were illegal? But a 10w saving is very disappointing. I would have expected at least 15-25w. But how anyone can compare the upcoming PS5 Pro to this nothing to minor cost saving refresh is beyond me. Like comparing a toaster to a waffle maker.

Yea not enough are talking about this. They definitely lost there this generation no doubt
Where I live the 1TB card cost 3 times the price of a m.2 of the same capacity. Actually insane.
but why would they do that! that would lose them money! just like why they wouldn't put hall effect sensors in the controllers! these horrible practices have made me tune out of consoles completely.
Agree ive been an xbox supporter for a long time , but its getting really hard to justify my loyalty, I was waiting for the xbox release , but now knowing they still won't allow 3rd party m.2s and no upgrades to CPU and GPU I'm done with xbox .
And still, is the same as fast thsn the m.2 of the ps5
There's no reason to upgrade to the 2024 models, older models are 300$, if you save 10c on the new 600$ model it'll take you years to reap the benefits.
Manufacturers can't void your warranty just for you removing stickers per the Magnuson-Moss Act.
Yes, this is technically correct, but the problem is that it is considered a civil matter. The company can still decline your claim and the cost of taking the company to court to enforce their warranty would likely be far more than paying for a new console.

It would've been nice to see the model number of that 2TB SSD.
IMO, with the digital only consoles, the creators could be making them much smaller or to fill the larger shell with better and more efficient cooling.
The disk drive isn’t the issue, the top fan and split motherboard are what are keeping the Series X design the same, digital or otherwise. Plus, the SX is already a triumph in design and engineering, considering how small it is relative to the performance it has.
100% agree specially when the series x is a poor shape for TV units. Would like to see the new X case being more like a slightly large S case.
That would make it more expensive since they have to redesign the production lines and other factors.
More to do with cost than anything else. Easier and cheaper to make them the same and just remove the drive than having two different designs.
Weed stash brother thumbs up .!
At $600 price, I would expect a Elite Series 2 Wireless-Controller right out of the box.
Maybe a plug and charge kit at least and a headset.
I agree. At 600 bucks I don't see a lot of value over the digital series x
PS5Pro is $700 and still doesn’t include an Edge controller. Why should Xbox include an Elite at $600?
Both the companies are selling vanilla cake with a few sprinkles on the top and calling it a special edition 😂😂
My condolences to those who actually finds a difference in taste 😂
I mean, it's better than what PlayStation is offering when it comes to its "pro" version. No problem controller, no stand, no disk drive. But for 700? I'm just saying Xbox did something right fr. They appeased the market by filling in the price gaps with the current systems, by releasing 3 updated versions ranging now from 250-600. A win is a win

I dont mind batteries on the Xbox controller, they last a pretty long time compared to Dualsense that cant go more than a day without needing charging
Just buy charging packs that slot in better than using AAs, as for dual sense are people really only having 1 controller? Just use one and charge one. Takes seconds to switch between them.
What kills the dual sense controller is using the controller while charging. Ideally you want two controllers to swap between

Another counterpoint, when those built in batteries stop functioning you actually cannot use the PS5 controller, even when it's plugged into USB.

I hate my PS3 and PS4 controllers that have DEAD lion batteries but would otherwise still function great if it weren’t for the stupid permanent battery.
It only took 4 years for Microsoft and Sony to finally realize anything less than 2TB of internal storage is utterly moronic in a time where a single damn game is 300GB in size.
Wait. 1:53 You mean to tell me that MSFT/Xbox has 8K branding on the packaging? Everyone was blasting Sony for having 8K on the PS5 all the while Xbox has had the same branding. I don’t think my original Series X packaging has 8k on it, i think it’s just 4k/120hz.
Both consoles had 8K on the box since 2020, Sony pulled the 8K label on PS5 boxes around spring this year.
Yeah its one little line on the side of the box, unlike Playstation with BIG gold 8K on the front lol

Xbox Series X Digital? No! Xbox Series XD? Yes!
question is then, Is the price difference worth it? Are you willing to lose the disk drive for the older og/360/one games. I know i would never the whole reason i got a series X (on the cheap through refurbished) is for my old collection. No console will enter my house after this, got a top notch pc no online fees etc etc. If you like console you do you and i wont judge but this xbox ditigal series x seems highly unneeded same goes for the ps5 pro. Only console that is "needed" for now is a switch 2 bc lets face it, switch hardware is stoneage hardware by now.
Don't have any discs and have been using digital only for years now, we gameshare so we get our games half price or take it turns buying the games, same goes for dlc unless it's account bound obviously.
I think it’s funny that people care so much about back compatibility, as if the OG hardware doesn’t exist or is hard to get your hands on.
I have 2 original, unmodded Xbox 360s connected to my tv right now. They still work fine & play all my Xbox 360 games like normal. When I play those same games on my Series X, it’s not a better experience.
Stock holder satisfaction is what's keeping the hardware identical to every revision or lack thereof from the past four years.
It's pretty cool that LTT did a shout out for you in a video and you did one back.
I don't understand the complaints for xbox controller battery choices. I think it's the best of all worlds. You can use disposable double A's, you can use rechargeable double A's, you can use rechargeable battery packs that charge through the controller and you can use rechargeable battery packs that can use a standalone dock to swap out - stores 4 packs. -- All batteries fail. When the PS5 batteries fail in 10 years, you will have so much more trouble changing those out than the xbox batteries. The only valid argument is the extra cost. But the rechargeable battery packs with four batteries and a dock costs about $30 - $40 for four batteries. It's not that bad.
Because it’s sucks
with the ps5 batteries failing, thats one fix you need to do and you are good for years. instead of always having to juggle batteries and such. I guess it depends on everyones setup. on the PC, i can go wired without issues so perhaps different for me.

@@Rem0n89 No they aren't. Some games are like that. Some games aren't. Stop spreading BS because you know Xbox is the only one doing what you are talking about.
For example, FFVII Rebirth on PS5, one of the biggest modern games this year, is on two 100gb bluray discs and can be installed and played 100% offline. The same with Remake on PS4 and its dual 50gb discs.
Series x uniquely has serious problems this gen.
1 The install base is so pathetic, that the number of users with a series console that has a physical drive, after 4 years, is barely 7 million.
2 Xbox won't use 100gb bluray discs for their games this gen, only 50gb discs.
3. From the last point, this makes physical games going forward EVEN MORE hard to justify on Xbox.
For example, Hellblade 2 never got a physical release. Why? Because the game is over 100gbs in size. So do they release a single disc version, so you have to download the rest of it, REALLY bringing attention to the fact of the limitation (there are loads of Xbox fans that don't know about the 50gb bluray disc thing). This is the part that comes closer to what you were talking about needing internet and its the MO for most Xbox 1st pary games this gen.
Or do they release it on 3 discs so that the whole game is on there but now the manufacturing goes up......... and its only for a tiny install base of less than 7 million series x consoles.
Oh and sorry to ruin your day with real facts and not made up shite.

everyone makes fun of AA batteries in the controller. I'm all for it. Just use rechargable AA batteries. You buy 4, 2 are always in the charger while the other 2 are in the controller, this way you have always a charged pair of batteries and if it goes bad, it's not propriatary, so you can buy cheap replacements.
This way you'll never encounter the situation when you want to play, pick up your controller and the batteries are low, so you need to charge them. Just pop in the other pair of batteries and you are good to go.

And having an upgraded ray tracing that's not even on PC yet, that sounds great to me. I like the more dense traffic in games like gta5 or Spiderman 2.
PS5 Pro for $700... WHAT A RIP-OFF, SONY ARE CRAZY!!! Xbox Series X for $600... *this is fine*
i mean both are rip offs with the ps5 pro being the more popular console. i think most people don't even know a new digital xbox series x is coming out lol.
@@LCJammer you have to say that the top spec Series X is a terrible value proposition when you compare it to the PS5 Pro. MS have lost the plot.
@Boneso1982 like I said, both are rip-offs. The $100 price difference between the two is not much in the US, but in other countries, the difference is much larger.
PS5 pro is basically the same powerful as xbox series x .. base ps5 is more powerful than series s but underpowered to xbox series x
@@johntrooper1153 objectively incorrect. Series X is not as powerful as a PS5 Pro.
the special edition xbox reminds me of the enamel roasting pans they use to sell for roasting turkeys at thanksgiving
So glad I just went ahead and bought the series x after xbox one s. These changes are so miniscule if you bought the 2020 series x you still good until the next NEXT Gen. I thought these new would improve gaming experience. Go figure🤷🏽
13:00 its almost like you should do the tests BEFORE you take it apart.
I thought warranty stickers were illegal? But a 10w saving is very disappointing. I would have expected at least 15-25w. But how anyone can compare the upcoming PS5 Pro to this nothing to minor cost saving refresh is beyond me. Like comparing a toaster to a waffle maker.
Not illegal, just unenforceable in the US
@@koobs4549 Ah, but weird they would spend the money on printing them, when they’re busy nickel and diming everything else to the bone.
@@koobs4549 no, they literally are illegal.
4:31 wtf are you talking about, that's not warranty fraud, a company can't void a warranty over a sticker. The FTC literally sent out stickers to Microsoft and other big tech companies in 2018 about this.
Why ya gotta be mean about it
Daddy chill
As a PlayStation fan, I’m REALLY happy for Xbox fans about this..W console it looks good
W ps fan and I own both
One thing, if you are doing any testing, do it fresh from factory. Then do your disassembly.
I wish it was better it’s just more storage difference is what it is but the PS5 Pro will be better it have more storage 2TB and will be more powerful it will run games more better then the first PS5 something I’m surprised Microsoft didn’t do this is like the Xbox and Xbox 360 PS3
Ps5 pro a super rtx 4070 for under £600 already beats it so yea if after xbox exclusives die ile go pc because whats the point I don't like sony exclusives not keen on sword slashing
@@jonathanoxlade4252your not Sony first off to say lies consoles can’t fit any graphics card if I could I would of put the 4090 in my PS5 and xbox series X don’t compare computers to consoles that’s huge
