I've gotten used to the big "90's Star Trek Athetics" OG PS5, but I wondered how they could make it look less weird with a slim model - and then shock and horror - THIS happened. Sony - you had one job!!
...i think with new plates ( a thing i think sony did on purpose) its going to look pretty good IMO
I just got one and I actually kinda like the way it looks. At least it's unique 😆
People don’t like the way this things looks?
We love it 😂😂😂😂majority of us love it
I just thought about something. How is the new digital edition PS5 going to lay horizontal? It won't have the disc drive hump and the two clips won't be enough to balance it.
Id be up for a PS5 in a Ps2 shell.
Exactly what i did. Got a 1200 for an excellent price in the black friday sales.
Same here
been watching a lot of PS5 Repair videos, the problem isn't the Liquid Metal leaks out, the problem is it gets 'dry' spots and oxidizes , leading to isolated thermal problems. This is for a 3 year console.
I wonder what the failure rate will be for PS5's in the next couple of years and whether they have their own 'Red ring of death' problem on the horizon
It’s not a slim it’s a cost reduction version.
Which is slimer
That’s what a slim has always been: smaller and cheaper to make.
Going from the Original Specs of 9.92 Lbs to Slim Weight of Approx 3.2 kg / 7.05479 Lbs .
Shaving 2.9 ish Pounds off how many fit on a Palate is quite the reduction besides the size of the Shipping / Display Box.
I love the gigantic beast PS5.... big is best! all functionality, no fluff (especially when big means less nosisy)
Noisy is so annoying! And noisy means eventually will overheat
Don’t have a PS5 but if I were to buy one atm I’d def go for the OG. The new slim only was designed and serves to improve profit. Cheaper manufacturing for the same price while OG has better thermal safeguards.
I have hearing loss, so the noise problem is solved for me already 😂
I’ve loved every OG PlayStation design of every generation but hated every slim model. I understand in the past it was all about cutting costs so you got what you got but to now essentially charge the same, or more depending on how you buy is unacceptable.
Thats fair. I did really like the ps3 slim (not the super slim). It just felt like the right bulk, it was a nice matte with a little metallic flourish near the disc drive.
I prefer OG ps5 over ps5 slim and xbox series x/s
John makes me laugh about the ali express looking plastic on latest PS5 model 😂
One Thing I haven't seen mentioned in any of the teardowns or Reviews yet is concerning the HDMI 2.1 port of the new PS5 Slim. Does it still just support 32Gbps or has Sony finally upgraded to the full 48Gbps or at least 40Gbps Bandwidth like Microsoft does on their Series Consoles.🤔
i LOVE the design and im happy thy didn't change it to much in the slim. you really should say "In my opinion" when you talk about design. much better then the boring black box of the XBOX.
Its says in the bible: "dont mix your plastics".
Do you know when it’ll be available in the uk?
TEARDOWN PS5 PERFORMANCE REVIEW WHEN
It's the same
I actually like the design of the PS5. Never had anyone say anything about the odd design when seeing it in my house.
I think alot of us gamers also have OCD so I geuss we like more square designs. Series X design is best but Sony UI and controller are so new and fresh. PS5 design is fine vertical but horizontal it looks odd but same goes with Seires X. The new PS5 looks cheaper and dont even have the grill anymore
It's a criticism that exists largely on internet forums, but the general public doesn't really care either way.
They were just being polite. Lol
@@brandonlee7382 You're definitely right about the horizontal orientation looking weird. I can agree that it's certainly ugly with the disc drive horizontally. I do like it in the vertical orientation. I think the "popped collar" look is nice and different from the boring black boxes. I also think the break-up of the slab sides on the slim are probably to enhance the perception of its slimness.
@@StarFissure Best opinion!
PS5 Ali Express Edition
So.. we can't get the digital slim these holidays then?
Just get the physical. Its the same thing. U can just convert it to a digital
I actually really like the new design.
"The Liquide Metal 's coming out of the machine" Sounds like a CreamPie scene 😂😂😂😂😂😂😊 💪💪👍
John so disturbed. he sneaks a sip of beer. 4.07
Ps5 slim on sale on Wednesday 😊
Little tiny legs youve got to buy, even...
Cloth pins 😂
And a piece of plastic with wire around it to stand it up for $30 💀 If I wanted to put my series X on it’s side I just….. put it on its side lmao
people are saying the Slim is louder than the OG - is there any truth to this?
I dont hear this thing at all man.
sony somehow managed to make the new ps5 look like a knockoff
What have we learned? Wait for the pro.
What I think is cool about the new design is the fact you can change out four plates and diversify customization
Stupid internet disc drive in the pro and should u wait for a pro?
It’s incredible to me that they doubled down on this design. It’s so bad.
It looks good in person.
This kind of (PS5) fat shaming is shameless.
Many gamers are obese....
out in Japan & us not uk yet
ps5 has too many drawbacks only upside is the graphics other than that its purely a dissapointment
Hello Everyone
Ill wait and see what the Pro looks like, This slim just looked horrible.
Ps5 original it's better for me i bought it it's amazing soon i will buy 2tb ssd samsung evo 980 cuz i can install 5 games now
I'll stick with the Xbox Series X. It may be boring to look at, but when you look at it everyday, boring is what you want.
Imagine owning a console with no good games 😂😂😂
@@MichaelM28that’s why he just stares at the console all day
I'm told there's some great games on the PS5. In the same way "The Elephant Man" had a great personality.
I have a subwoofer on the floor, the X would blend right in next to it
I’m on PC. But I gotta say that you made a mistake getting a Series X over a PS5. Please kindly sell the Xbox and buy the Playstation
I just bought a second one from ps direct and I got the og instead I don't like the slim at all and after this weeks teardown and saw it's still the 6mm I jumped on the old style.
Sells like hot bread though, no one cares seems like
Scalpers
I would buy it, IF it wasn´t onboard soldered storage.
You do know you can upgrade the SSD right?
@@MrSamPhoenix you do know if anything happens to the soldered SSD the console is toasted?
Fyi I have the "fat" model.
@@vollkerball1 and does the Xbox consoles handle this?
@@vollkerball1 and SSDs are very durable. And since consoles such as the PS5 and XBox consoles, don’t write nearly as much data on the SSD like full blown computers would. You should be fine.
@@MrSamPhoenix wtf is Xbox even mentioned? Are you trying to create Whataboutism?
Now on my point, why are you defending more tactics that limit user ability to repair in case of issues?
😂
Poor Rich…been doing this for over a decade and is STILL overlooked due to his location. 😢
Nobody in the whole country gets it, not even Sony UK. Is a TH-camr that important?! YouTubing might as well be the president's job to some people
@@grandiora Sony doesn’t want people to review it honestly because it’s objectively a bad design. I think everyone agrees that the old ps5 is much better and that’s what Sony is afraid of.
@@grandiora ps2,3,and 4 all had good slim iterations. They would’ve sent out review samples to more people if it was a better design.
They can’t talk trash about the games or hardware so they talk about the looks. Classic pc/Xbox fan girling here
A million times better than the xbox series x
By a long shot
In your opinion*
When the built in ssd on the ps5 motherboard dies and you can't replace it, you will need to buy a new one lol
My ps5 is still going since launch np yet...and running smoothly
What happens when you are in the mood to lay your series x on it’s side? You put it on it’s side lol No little cheap clips or BS $30 stand that’s like $1.50 in materials/manuf. cost and like $0.30 for transportation
Reviewing videos of tear downs when you could tear one down your self HUH what a turn of events
Ugliest and worst console made even worse. Internal storage upgrade for Series consoles takes ONE SECOND meanwhile PS5 takes 30 minutes (with the all the unpluging and formating) 😂
Only gay people cares about design 😅😂😭🤣 I just put it in its place connect the cables and play my games, don’t care about the consoles design
It's better than the gaybox series x!!!!!!!!!!!
Report as spam folks
No thanks i keep my 12 version
tiny legs is a artistic choice , stop trolling hater
Copium
Imagine John having a problem with the "size" of something in this case a PS5 calling it a gigantic beast. 😂
Series x is a beast ps5 is a cat
I'm sure you meant rat 😂😂
A million times better series x than ps5
