    The moveable disk drive is one of best thing happened in consoles..i remember the days in old playstation era where the drive is always broke when playing games..so much cost is spend mostly in the disk drive..as nowadays internal hardrive and SSD is a thing..so the disk drive maybe will be less used and make it live long..but having an option to just easily replaced the drive makes things much more convenient..

    With Black Friday sales going on I’d say going for the slim if you don’t already have a PS5 is a good way to go. From what I’ve seen, the OG PS5 and the slim bundles are the same in price $499 unless you’re able to get either for cheaper. Plus, I like having the ability to not only have a separate disk drive but be able to fix or replace it without having to buy a whole new system or maybe even having to send the whole console and be without it for however long.

    defintely don't get the Digital only, not only is it more expensive but it will be another excuse for companies to ditch physical for digital only, which means more control over your games and the prices, and it makes it hard to fing bargains, trade games, lend games, and much more. For a few seconds of convenience you will make other things much more difficult!

    • @YugamRattan
      @YugamRattan 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I would prefer you to get OG PS5 1200 because the heat sink is slightly better and fan aswell it's also tested that the OG ps5 runs a bit cooler and quiter. The OG even looks better, in my opinion.
      The slim looks cheap in front of the OG one. I also prefer the led on the OG one.
      The one thing I like about slim is the detachable disk drive, but it is useless because we need an internet connection to play the physical games, which sucks.
      So technically, the OG is better in every way, and it looks better and more premium. The heat sink is slightly better even Austin said that, the fan is also better and other people tested it the OG one also runs quieter than slim
      I would prefer the OG. You can get one at a good discount and the money you saved from the discount get a 1TB or 2TB ssd which is even better.
      So OG should be the pick. I hope this was helpful and let me know what you will get ^_^

      I brought my PS5 home and during the set up process it asks if you want to transfer from another console. You simply plug both consoles in to your router and the PS5 will detect it and transfer stuff through your home network.
      It took around 30 minutes for my PS4 to transfer everything I had installed on the internal storage over to my PS5. And all I had to do was unplug my external drive from my PS4 into the PS5 and it detected and reads from it without any extra steps.

    So as someone who wants to buy a ps5 for the first time should I get the slim or OG. I know the slim has some very slight improvements like bit more storage but I feel like I prefer the old design better. Is it worth getting it over the OG for first time buyers

      I'd get the OG but 1200 model. I've had the OG 1000 it had bad heat issues got the OG 1200 last year with the GOW bundle & it's been great since. Was gonna get the slim till these videos started dropping over the past few days I don't like it. Looks super cheap, there's a gaping hole on both top sides straight down to the fans, doesn't look like it lights up anymore, & the mix match panels look like a Temu Gamestation 50 or some sh¡t 😂 the ps5 was already not the best looking but man that thing makes me appreciate my series x even more

    I'm a long time PC gamer myself. Haven't had a console since the PS2 era. But I've been wanting to play God of War Ragnarok so badly I actually broke down and bought a PS5 sLim model a couple days ago. And I've got to tell you, I was surprised just how big this thing actually is, especially considering it is supposed to be a shrunken down model. I have been having a blast though with this thing, I love the big back catalog of games you can get with the PS Plus membership. Another thing I find interesting, is the fact that the BD-Rom drive isn't actually activated out of the box. I'm pretty sure you could unbox the unit, and remove the drive and then use it like a digital edition, and probably resell the drive if you don't need it. It's not until pretty far into the setup that the drive is actually activated and written to the console, from what I can tell.

    Heatsinks were repositioned to better use the circular airflow coming out of the fan. Whereas the normal models have the tower taking a lot of direct airflow but the central sinks get whatever flow "bounces" around the chassis. On the Slim they are positioned in a circle around the fan, ideally you could have the now-gone 3rd sink at the front or top to make a more complete circle but you won't want hot air coming out the front of the unit.

      @@RadecStahlhe’s talking about the output resolution not rendering resolution. When you play a game that’s in 120hz mode the color format changes from 4K RGB to 4K YUV422.
      On a PC think of it like windows OS resolution being set to 3840x2160 (4k) and your game in its own menu set to 1080p. Two different things that are working together.
      And to answer the original question no, with 4k and a game thats 120fps the color format is still changed to YUV422 (HDR) on the Slim model.
