Ryan!! I'm glad to see you back, brother!! I was thinking the other day, "Where the hell is TechSpaceCowboy?" Then I see a new video from ya just now when I open TH-cam. I was like "Ayyye my boy is back!"
I'm curious whether the HDMI 2.1 bandwidth will increase from the current 32Gbps to 40 or 48Gbps or stay the same With 4K 120Hz output, the current model outputs compressed YUV instead of RGB output. Thanks !
It is exactly the same as the previous version. No upgraded HDMI... Although I know on a monitor for PCs desktop UI it can make a big difference, but not on a tv playing a video game on a console. devs already design there games around the chroma limitation, so they dont use any fine text or small ui elements (it would be too small also on a 4k screen) So is there really any noticeable difference between YUV 4 2 2 and RGB (444)??? especially at 4k?
The Thermal paste deteriorates faster because its affected by gravity. When the system is running in becomes more liquid, and will drip down towards the bottom, which then prevents even distribution of paste and can leave your system to overheat more often
the glossier black on the Slim looks cheaper to me, and the missing "stripes" on either side of the black part leaving a big gap is unattractive. I can see straight in! bad for lint too. Slim is truly the horizontal console and the OG is the vertical.
Guys I have an OG and wants to buy another console and really confused between the OG and Slim. Both are the same price for me in my area. I never seen slim in person but it looks a bit cheap to me in these videos compared to the original fat PS5. What you guys suggest?
I always get PS on launch but this time I’ve decided instead of upgrading, just to wait for ps5 pro, but it’s only coming late 2024, so I tought maybe buying a slim, since the “Fay” ps5 is huge.I tought it would be slimmer. Its still huge and expensive. Atm with Black Friday the ps5 “fat” has a better price. I’m worried about the cooling at slim tho. Can’t decided.
@@jcgaming908 and 30% smaller in volume. It isn`t really more expensive, so if you aren`t in a desperate hurry to get a ps5, it`s worth the wait for some of us.
I unhderstand that if you have the "newest" model of the ps5 the switch might not be worth it, but what about if you have a ps5 and older run? I bought mine back in October 2021, does that change the math at all?
This guy is dumb. So much nonsense in this video. Yet it is interesting because It helps me understanding the point of view of the average clueless guy about the topic. Not all videos have to be smart.
@@jcgaming908 There definitely is a point for a slim version. The PS5 is massive. This thing has never been for those who already own a PS5, so don`t be an idiot.
I kinda got lucky with my PS5 Slim. I bought a used PS5 with disc drive from GameStop for $470 and 2 weeks later (Still within the return policy) they came out with the slim. I came back and exchanged the used PS5 for the New Slim model. So I only owed them $30, from their I traded in a couple of controllers I wasn’t using and bingo, I got it without dropping a dime in that moment lol, it was essentially already payed for with that used console I initially bought lol thank goodness I was still within that 30 day exchange window.
Nice you also got a free game included. Some advice for the future always research before buying tech. Your phone is a great way to inform your self about latest tech. Always read articles from reputable sources or from tech TH-camrs.

hey bro thank you very much i actually was gonna get a PS5 for the first time but didnt know wich version to buy.this video helped A LOT thank you very much and i hope you do well on your channel and life man.have a great one
I prefer the OG but it's down to personal preference but personally I don't like the look of the slim it looks like it came from wish and the fact you need 2 separate stands when the OG has one for vertical and horizontal
It made me laugh how he said, "this little line... I don't care about that" And then immediately says his FAVOURITE thing about the new design are the two little stands that LITERALLY clip into that line. LMAO!
This one looks very ugly. Also there's a question. How much is the panel? Will they sell both types of panel? (Disc Edition Panel/Digital edition panel)?
@@haydensteinz2268 Yeah maybe if you don’t take care of it but in my opinion it looks better than the matte. I got some tv color backlights and the ps5 slim next to my tv and the colors reflect off the ps5 which is cool. If you are gonna be touching it all the time then yeah the matte will handle fingerprints and scratches better but in looks the glossy is better.
The Liquid Metal rumor has been debunked.. The PS5 has to be previously worked on in order for there to be a slim (pun intended) chance of a leak..They don’t leak out of the box or never opened and worked on ( except very rare cases, like bad batches).
People carry a Cell Phone with them not a Console . I don't care if my console weights 5 lbs or 100 lbs I'm not touching it after I set it up . Where mine sits it could be twice the size larger and not matter ,
The day they stop, making consults with CDs and physical copies is the day I would stop possibly gaming because you could definitely get better deals on the physical copies then you can on the digital market

You don`t have to keep the slim connected to the internet for it to work. You just have to connect it once to verify it, then you can play without internet.
It`s more useful than the old integrated drive. It allows for a disc upgrade later on for those who buy the digital version. And in case your disc drive breaks, you can easily swap it.
This is extremely helpful for a girl trying to get her guy a ps5 for Christmas. I really didn't want to buy this new version if it was going to be a bust. You've made this decision incredibly easier. THANK YOU SIR
$449 for the digital is most definitely not a fair price considering if you want to add a disc drive it’s another $80, so $30 more than the disc version, if you want to stand it up it’s another $30 for a piece of plastic. It now comes with 1TB which it always should have considering the XSX has 1TB since launch, there’s absolutely no value in this, PlayStation launched this to save money in manufacturing, but yet they raised the price providing No value to its consumer.
1TB ssd sticks are on sale everywhere fpr $70 on Amazon . Nobody care about storage space now . Replacing the controller twice a year for DRIFT is more pricey .
most of people who get ps5 slim this time do not even own ps5 og. they waited for the last 3 years. luckily ps5 finally became available as ps5 slim. so they wouldn't even care some tiny downgrades which some ps5 og owners are whining about.
The day physical media is not supported is the day I stop buying Playstation
Same, and this slim version is not good for people who likes phisical media.
Bye, Felicia
I only have 2 physical games for my PS4 slim. The rest are downloaded. I will probably upgrade to a disc less PS5 slim.

already proven FALSE
But you have to register the disc drive online or it will not work without sony server disc drive s paperweight
can you compare the SSD speed of Slim and Phat PS5?? they said the slim has slower loading time
*it's not thermal paste. it's Liquid Metal. That's why it runs/moves when it's vertical. Paste doesn't run.
Awesome thanks! Yeah I didn’t remember the exact reason but I knew it had to do with gravity
Good to see you back.
House tour please! 😂 Your home looks cozy and and cute
Glad you're doin' well.

nice video glad to see you're back
Guys I have an OG and wants to buy another console and really confused between the OG and Slim.
Both are the same price for me in my area. I never seen slim in person but it looks a bit cheap to me in these videos compared to the original fat PS5. What you guys suggest?
Get the slim/ newer one
@TechSpaceCowboy can you please tell me why? I mean it looks so cheap with low quality material
Can the SSD play game like the OG PS5 like intended?
will the new ps5 slim not have to worry abt being stood vertically cuz of that liquid metal issue in the other model
Does the fat ps5 disc drive work on the ps5 slim?
How does the stand make the digital stand up if you don't have the disk drive🤔
Nobody knows bc it ain't out yet just the disc version

Slightly, but you still won’t notice a difference in your games, so that depends on how bad the other things matter to you
Not really worth it if you already own any PS5. This isn`t for those who already own one.

I could've sworn you were making a game but I can't find anything about it anymore, what happened to it (assuming I wasn't dreaming)
I was, but I stopped. Game making is hard. I finished it but never published
to me i like the OG version of PS5, and the i like the STAND/DOCK of the OG it looks like it was floating when its in horizontal.
Meta Quest 3? 🤔
Lol seriously though, it's great to know you're doing well. Just upload whenever you feel like it.
Yeah might take a gander at that too
I don't like the fact that it doesn't have vent/grills in the middle on slim, more likely for dust to get in there.
