For a while I've been seeing these fake PS5 systems floating around on eBay and other websites so today I decided to order one and take a look at what exactly the GS5 is.

#PS5 #PlayStation #Sony
The development of the GS5 is a fascinating story. It took a whole 5 minutes to come up with the design and internal components 😂
Wow that's 2 minutes more than the Playstation. Props to them
The Polystation laughs at your attempt
the funniest part of that story is that it took them another 5 minutes to come up with the name🤪
It took a little more than that.
Shitty parts like this is a rare find indeed. You specifically need to deliberately search, pursuit, and look for the worst of the worst possible parts.
It's a disgrace to any Aliexpress emulation devices and there are plenty to choose from.
The few latest ones that are good are the Retroid Pocket 2+, the Odin and Ambernic previous device but none hold a candle to the Steam Deck anyway so...
@@Jerrymaiyah1209 I hope you think this as a joke. If not, it's concerning and I worry for you.
I wasn't prepared for how small it is. 20-30 years in the future they could release a PS5 mini that looks like this.
if in 20 years the system still needs to be this big, and not 1/3 the size, it means we got some serious problems to deal with, so no real development in improving tech and chips. expect the real PS4 or 5 mini to be as big as a smartphone.
@The tricky tick I don't really care for the size. It's the specs that matter, at least to me.
You can actually get a Chrome Cast size/style (design and look) console... Granted, its either a Windows PC (think Intel computer stick or a clone) or an Android device, but you can get one and literally hide it behind your TV.
@@sonicgen20 So your a graphics over gameplay type of person?
@@alchemistofsteel8099 I was talking about the physical console itself. I don't mind the size of the physical console so long as it has great technical specs and is utilized well.
I just love these fake console unboxing type of videos. So interesting to see the knock offs being reviewed. Thanks for the video Mr. Spawn.
Then check Rerez channel
@@JSmith-nu4bl or Ashens when he gets around to these (usually POP Stations)
@@toshironikko the brown couch guy from classic TH-cam?
@@steamedyam yes - he just recently put up knock off transformers toys video
Same here but I do feel bad for the odd person that would get 1 of these from parent, who don’t know anything and be like, fuck!
These small knock-off game systems will always hold a special place in my heart. I don't know what it is, I just find them endearing.
They are literally a waste of plastic.
@@bryanx0317 Imo if they made them high quality aftermarket RPi cases they'd have a niche.
Ah, your mom got your toys from Big Lots too. Go-Bots & Rock Lords rule!
@@shanez1215 It's not the outer shell... It's the innards that are terrible lol
Probably because they're small and are such obvious knockoffs to our eyes that they don't really seem like a fraud.
My dad bought me one like this back in the day but it was PS2 instead, you can imagine my disappointment when we knew it was fake lol nonetheless my brother and i still enjoyed playing old classics, it was my first time playing Super Mario.
Was it a Polystation 2?
@@popixel NolyStation 💀💀💀💀
I woulda slapped the shit out of my broke ass dad
@@popixel 😂😭 💀
Dude those are the best "My parents bought me X" memories! Like just the fact your old man took the time to at least attempt to get you something nice is admirable.
Back in 1996 my mom attempted to get me some games for my brand new PS1. Instead of getting Final Fantasy 7, she got me a couple of Sega Saturn games..... Trying to explain to her why Saturn games wouldn't run on PS1 was an experience.....
One high point was she did get me King's Field II. Couldn't really talk to my friends about it, because it was a very niche title, but it did make me a fan of King's Field.
GS5 exclusives, Poltergeist of Tsushima, The last of those people, and that awesome game God of confrontations. Can't wait to see what other bangers the GS5 brings us.
Don't forget the modern classics like "Fiendish Ghosts Remastered" and "Don't Go to the West Coast"
Arachnid Boy: Miles Jenkins
Ah, the long awaited PS5 mini lol So much nostalgia…
I hear it has the last of us ps5 remake remastered
*it was the last good generation of gaming*
Only 20s kids remember. We used to watch our movies on Disney+, We ordered food on Uber Eats, We make memes out of everything, oh and Fortnite was the shitz!
@@Sixma-ej5vp And don't forget Covid-19 and monkeypox lol
“I mean you can’t really mess up Pac-Man.”
*Atari 2600 has entered the chat*
🤣🤣🤣
It has happened once before. Nothing is impossible.
Surprisingly, Pac-Man on the Atari 2600 is actually why there are quality games.
Paxman Xbox one entered the game
Fireworks, rgb and 3d models in yoyre face and 600 levels
And if you're having a hard time getting one of these bad boys because of the chip shortage and scalpers, they also offer the GS4 Pro to hold you over.
So little, haha! Definitely designed to trick Granny into disappointing the Grandkids.
It is 😂😂😂
As Chinese emulation boxes go, that one wasn't even remotely worth $60 with only 200 games and an old handheld game system crappy menu presentation. Looking at the small PCB inside, it looks like it is the pitiful level of hardware found in OLD handheld game units. Super ripoff.
This is a famiclone, not emulation.
Still not worth the cash but hey, lets be accurate.
The case can be reused to make a badass raspberry pi emulation station
@@FoxbatStargazerAnd dirt cheap famiclone chips mounted directly to PCBs have been around for how many years now? Any links to tech details on these? Who makes them and have they actually evolved over the years?
@@winstonsmith478 The one inside this is probably a VT02 manufactured by V. R. Technology of Taiwan. They're almost like the original famicom, but with a few enhancements. They've been around since the early 2000s.
After taking apart that controller I am 100% confident that I've seen a worst controller. The controller that I'm thinking of used rubber membranes for every button and not just the start and select. Not sure how to describe it but when I say that I mean that the rubber membranes were sticking up through the controller and there was no plastic button on top.
Didn't the first couple production runs of the Family Computer (called "square-button Famicom" by collectors) also use rubber membranes for the A and B Buttons?
Ah yeah. The Great Game Station 5. Consoles are finally actually plug and play again
GS5 doesn't have microtransactions. You don't need it online connectivity. Its cheaper than PS5 or XBox series. No joycon drift. Its perfect.
That explains the katakana, which says "classic classic"
I don't think it's emulation, that would require way more processing power and work (and thus cost). I think this is just a single chip NES clone.
Say what you want about the GS5, but I don't see the PS5 having any Mario games 😅😂
The second-best Raspberry Pi case I've seen yet.
The best being the Nintendo Playstation SuperDisc one. Only problem is you have to 3D print that one yourself...
The Harry Potter game looks like a ROM hack of Magic Carpet 1001 on the NES.
(It's an unlicensed game)
@@scratcher7683 you don’t say? It definitely read as 100% legit with the TERF stamp of approval 😂
@@CJT3X "TERF"?
There are only two genders.
You are correct, it's called Super Harry Potter, a hack of Magic Carpet 1001 from the Caltron/Myriad 6 in 1
It’s true though…only those born women are true women. Basic biology, gender in humans cannot change. And mutilating health bodies isn’t the answer to being unhappy with yourself. We aren’t mistakes, we’re born the genders were meant to be.
Repurposing the shell is an intriguing idea.
If they did one of a GameCube Wii portabilizers would love it.
I've seen a video about this lol, a korean man already made this into a more useful console
That harry Potter game was something else haha.
is it just me or does it look actually cute? nice mini console to showcase on your shelf
Yes the actual design isn't that bad. Like he said, someone could easily fit a raspberry pi in there and do some fun stuff.
It's not an emulation box. It's a Famiclone a system on a chip.
Thats what I was thinking
You paid $60 for that? It's probably worth only $5.
to be fair i would say $20
It's only worth 1 dollar, 5 dollars is being generous lmao
Like even fake nintendo better
it costs 30
I has a lot if good games I will say $20 maximum
The Sequel to the Sojia Boy Game console
I wouldn't dare plug that thing in. A lot of these fake game consoles are potential fire hazards due to poor quality parts.
It's not a bomb it's not going to explode lol
GameStation 5 sounds like one of those names authors use in their Manga to avoid paying Sony
I love how happy he is. He’s having lots of fun with this ridiculous thing.
For those wondering, the Japanese above GameStation 5 reads “ClassicClassic” so this is the mini version of the GS5 (:
Well in 15 years when Sony makes the PS5 mini they're going to have to pay them to license that shell huh
Ah yes, my favorite game on playstation, super Mario 3, a true Sony classic.
I love how they where able to replicate the experience of taking out the side panels.
Genuine question: Why does the PS5 exist? When clearly the GS5 is MUCH better in value 🤷♂️
True
Lol someone’s a PlayStation hater with console warrior comments
Soulja Boy approves your comment.
@@jeffbgaming786 I mean, I went from a PS4 to a GS5 and the graphic are so much better. I loved the Ghost of Tsushima on the GS5.
@@jeffbgaming786 c'mon man, The Graphics on GS5 absolutely destroy anything on PS5.....
Youll be surprised how popular these are in less fortunate areas. I use to wonder who would ever buy these but some parents buy em for their kids in poorer places just so that they have something. Super illegal but i guess they are so easy to make and maybe those countries copyright laws arent very good?
I have seen this online, and I have been so tempted to get one to see what’s on it. I’m glad I could check it out on someone else’s dollar
Gotta love the katakana reading "classic classic" on the packaging
It's so classic it's classic
@@MisterCasket It's classic in the classic sense of the term, not the current sense of classic. If you were to go back to the times of the classics, this would still be considered classic back then
@@cosmosofinfinity classic remark.
"You can't really get Pacman wrong"
Atari 2600 version of Pacman: looks away, embarrassed
Crazy how these 1000 in 1 games still a thing in 2022
Imagine you’re an uninformed uncle. this is a great value for a kid that doesn’t have any video games. Also if the kid wants he can repurpose the case and make a raspberry pi emulation station
This would be hilarious to gift to a Sony fan.
I've never before spent an entire console tear down video just laughing.... thank you Spawn Wave i needed that! 🤣🤣🤣
I can’t believe you managed to get a GS5. I asked my girlfriend for one for Christmas and was so disappointed when I found a PlayStation 5 under me tree.
Got a ps5 a week ago, and the gs5 is so tiny I’d love to see this next to the real ps5
Oh cmon, have anyone thought that this would end up being anything other than Famicom clone.
It never ceases to amaze me that they still can't get the game to run properly or updated the games list, I get their plan is to rip people off but imagine how much better they'd do if word got around that it actually works?
Imagine if your mom got you this for your birthday. Thinking it was legit
And she spent $500 😭
I would play w it, she did what she could do and it's priceless
Imagine if only the real system was that size.
seriously!! I wish it was....mines takes up too much space
There is a guy on TH-cam that slimmed the ps5 down to about the size of a slim ps2, but a smidge more flat. Check it out!
@@volsavious2319 and he also killed one in the process and made it much much uglier than the original
@@clothinghanger6978 You can't cook an omelet unless you break some eggs and looks are a matter of taste.
@@clothinghanger6978 that's usually what happen in life, sometimes you fail before you succeed...
"I want a PS5"
"We have PS5 at home"
The PS5 at home:
Lol I was lookin for this comment
You should definitely turn that shell into a Pi system, I'd watch that process 100%
This console has some of the greatest hits. Like Horizon First Dusk, Goddess of Civil, Clank & Dexter, and The First of Us.
Truly remarkable games on the GS5.
Not the First of us lmao
I can imagine a kid asking a parents for PS5 that doesn't know anything about video games getting them this 😂
Putting a Raspberry Pi inside that case is a great idea and fill it up with tons of games from many different systems.
Would have loved to see their version of Plants vs Zombies. This has never been released in any form that this chip could possibly run, so they must have made their own.
It is the famicom version developed by Nice Code Software.
On the plus side you can gut the gs5 console, put an external drive in it and now you got a mini PS5 to store your actual PS5 games on for your digital console!
GS5: Free with Fill-Up at your local gas station 😂
I found one on eBay for
$50 with $50 shipping -
What a sweet deal 😆🤙👍👍
It's a perfect mirror of what mainstream gaming has become - they're not even trying, selling the same crap in fancy new boxes over and over, while maximising their profit margins.
The most interesting thing about these devices is the rom hack bootleg games that come with it like that Harry Potter game. I wish they went past NES/SNES era games though.
They worked so hard to make it look like a PS5 only to put NES and mobile games on it. Very peculiar 🤣
Ngl tho, it would make a really cool video of yku harvested the shell and made a Rasberry Pi PS5 👀
Mobile games? I don't know of a famicom phone.
The biggest Factor of this video caught me offguard.
These fake ripoffs are making me sad for several different reasons and perspectives.
Mom I want a ps5. We have ps5 at home.
Ps5 at home:
Here at SIE, Sony and PlayStation we can envisage a situation where someone will ask their parents, grandparents or significant other to get them a PlayStation 5 for their birthday or their Christmas only to be met with crushing dissapointment when they discover they got a GS5. However, they should not worry as we continue to work behind the scenes with our amazing and talented teams at PlayStation Studios to bring our whole slate of games to PC.
My #1 wishlist item is Metal Gear Solid 2 for PS5 :)
A lot of work for a bad joke.
@@timmybee3669 Porting our great games to PC is no joke as we have already ported Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone and God of War to PC. Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection, Spiderman Miles Morales and Spiderman Remastered are also making their way to PC with more to follow.
@@meliss9536 We will ask our partners at Konami for permission to work on a remake of Metal Gear Solid 2 which will be lead by the fantastic team at Bluepoint.
@@meliss9536 not gonna happen, sadly ):
But can you get replacement panels from dbrand?
I want to be the seemingly oblivious uncle that gets this for any future nephews I don't like.
1:25 you should buy some cutlery dude. The way you hold that fork 🤣
I got a ps5 last year and done even use it. I use the switch all the time instead and that’s kinda crazy
Mom I want a PS5
We already have a PS5
PS5 at home:
I so wish you woulda/coulda titled it "fake ass." That's how I read it, haha
CLICK BAIT CRAP....... Nothing solid to report here!!!
@@jaseoverton3426 I think it's an entertaining video. It's crazy what they're putting crappy emulator stuff in and the types of controllers they use
Soulja Boy at it again.
I'm sure it will look good as a model on the shelf 🤭
I love the idea of ripping out the internals and replacing it with a raspberry PI
Idk if I want any of the food from that paid advertising lol y'all see how long it took him to cut it and repeatedly stab it?
I was waiting for him to eat I was like he’s not gonna eat it 😂
The Harry Potter game you found was an unlicensed game called Magic Carpet 1001, and it came with the NES Clone "Turbo Game" in Brazil in the 90's. I had one and I loved that game, but it was much better than the harry potter version you found. Different roms are found given the credits to Caltron and Mega Soft as developers, but hardly to verify who actually developed that one. I recommend the original, though ;)
that is actually a pretty convincing copy. I think the biggest give away is how small the box is.
The other massive giveaway is composite video
@@CJT3X Doesn't it come standard?
I've heard a game called The First Of Us is in development for the GS5. When that comes out, Sony is done.
Can't be worst than the last of us 2
Those controllers look better than the Nintendo Joycons. Probably more functional as well
Can’t have stick drift if ya don’t have sticks!
For a "fresh never frozen" meal, you sure looked you were struggling to cut the damn thing
Dude, just a question: where do you buy your game shirts (PC Engine, N64, SEGA, Nintendo, Zelda, Playstation and lots other awesome original gaming related you have)?
Besides that, love your channel, man. Any content you post - tear downs, notices - I'm always having a good time watching. Thanks a lot and cheers from Brazil!
Damn I can’t believe you found the illusive GS5 they are so hard to find
Ok but imagine if our real consoles actually just got their power through micro USB😂
You with the knife and fork while chewing was hilarious
Make more of these, they are always fun.
Better than an actual Sony moviebox.
I was at a GameStop that had them in stock in store… let’s hope things are getting better
even though there's many naive parents out there, i'll still be surprised if they bought this thinking this is the PS5
Yeah the image of the actual thing must be really hard to tell in real life from a listing/catalogue size. I mean name is one thing but the d-pad only controllers it can't be hard to do a double take and look at the device and the differences in the way both are even if you know nothing about video games but can pick out details.
if your channel turns into a clickbait channel I'm out of here you're wasting people's time
that case would make a good enclosure for a raspberry pi running retro arch or a home made nas
That's a real PS5 pro Soulja boy nailed it
Hahahaha the Japanese writing underneath Gamestation 5 says “Classic Classic”
The Controllers my lord haaa I’m dying 🤣🤣
Spawn is doing everything possible to avoid eating the Factor food. Chew for 45 seconds, move things around with the fork, cut things up a little bit, and maybe cut it up a little more. OK phew, the read through is done!
This is actually more amusing to me than actual PS5 content.
Favorite thing about Spawn Wave.
Something new just anywhere nearby.
Spawn Wave: "We'll we're just gonna have to take that apart!"
Even the Japanese at the top just says クラシック twice "Classic Classic" 😆
I never realised how ripped John's forearms are DAMN!
Ah Yes Harry potter on the NES a true Classic!
Lol where's the cooling fan at 😂😂😂😂😂
6:19 That's a famiclone, not an emulation box. It uses the NOAC (NES-on-a-chip) hardware, not an emulator.
me: Mom can we have a ps5?
Mom: we have a ps5 at home
Ps5 at home:
This is a lot cheaper than the regular PS5.
I see this as a popular item for the holidays.
For Harry Potter, it looks like they just took the old Aladdin Gameboy game where they're on the magic carpet and slapped a Harry Potter sprite on there.😂
GS5…….I would never attempt to disassemble such a sophisticated and powerful piece of hardware.
The 'Harry Potter' game is actually a PC Engine game called 'Cotton'. The programmer just redid the
game by switching its main character for a Potter skin.
