Being an older gamer, 70 next year. I really appreciate the quick, informative, easy to understand video. Answered several questions I had about going up to the 5 with BO6 coming out in a minute.
Here just becuase i finally decided to lay mine on the side, but thought well this stand is easy for vertical but it must also accommodate horizontal and here we are a safe ps5 is a happy ps5.
@@sengiv7326 my boy its a three minute video cleaning the ps5 which arguably takes more time has videos this long usual vids are 1 minute to a minute and a half
Sane here,I had my PS5 Vertically since PS5 was released and it’s upsetting the News is coming out now especially since Sony said that problem what happened when People predicted it since Day 1 since it has Liquid Metal
Simple...if wise people say, what is right is a comfortable position, don't fight the position of the earth standing & whatever electronic equipment you have, you must have good ventilation.🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@redscorpion9325 it’s a very small problem that some have and it only happens if your ps5 heats up like crazy and even if your ps5 gets hot it doesn’t happen often it only happened to a few but it’s better safe then sorry so your probably fine if you put your ps5 sideways then keep it up right
Just a heads up on the vertical position. It has become known that the liquid coolant can eventually come free over the cpu if left in the vertical position over time. It seems the horizontal position is the safest way.
We all looking this up rn cuz we got it for Christmas Edit: thanks for the likes but also I got one for my bday back in November and I got another 1 for Christmas also guys sub to that guy he is the reason we are able to safely use our consoles without them falling
BEST REVIEW EVER! I tried to put it horizontally before, but didn't realize I had to turn the thing to make it fit that way. Man is it so much better for me than standing it up.
@@Skyez123is the liquid metal thing even true surely sony wouldent make it so you can stand it up if somthink like that could happen my cuz has had his from day 1 stood up with no problems
I love how gentle you are with the console. I've seen so many videos where people just scrape the brand new console around on their table or desk like its nothing and I have to stop watching whenever I see that 😂
I got paranoid having it vertical so I switched to horizontal but this thing is huge, takes up a lot of space on my desk. Im liking horizontal so far though. Thanks for the tutorial!
The stand is not that sturdy in horizontal position. You pressing toward the middle (over the stand) only shows a little wobble. But press the corner over the optical drive side. It'll easily tip all the way to the surface it's on. Also, happen to bump it while plugging in a USB or whatever... the stand will simply fall off and end up somewhere else under the curved bottom of the PS5. It was clearly designed for the Vertical position; Horizontal was an afterthought. Unfortunately, many people (such as myself) don't have a spot to stand it vertically.
Totally agree, it’s actually more unsturdy than it is sturdy. Quite annoying when fidgeting around with especially when you have clean the fans regularly. So when you say sturdy in the video, that’s really not true at all, as a matter of fact.
Thank you so much! Having my PS5 in a vertical position is so much better. This video earned a like 👍🏽 You got straight to the point and was clear with each step.
My husband just bought me this for our 1st anniversary (which was few days ago) and I’m in the middle of setting it up. 😊 Thanks for the video! It was very helpful. ❤️
You have no idea how much this helped. I just got a PS5 as a gift so there wasn't any paperwork with it. My entertainment center is a bit cramped so I have items on their side. I couldn't figure out how to install the disc mount, nor could I find anything online. Your a lifesaver. Thanks!!
No way. They designed a screw cover holder into the base of the stand? Incredible. I just removed it and put it back in the little protective bag the controller came in, inside the box, to “save it just in case”. Had no idea you could put it into the base itself. That’s brilliant, Sony. 2:34
What would REALLY be brilliant is a stand that doesn't need a screw in the first place. That it needs such a convoluted stand suggests this console was not designed with any kind of practicality in mind.
I've had it vertical since release and just switched it and used your video for this tip without having to buy an aftermarket stand thank you very much
Mine is just sitting there on its lopsided self. I follow this video And still slides right off that silly stand. I'm just going to forget I bought this for now.
@@hallhv01 you have to rotate those hooks back in the initial position so the middle part protrudes up. The same thing happened to me when I wanted to change the ps from a vertical to a horizontal position and i forgot to rotate the hooks.
Thank you. It feels good to finally figure that one out. I thought it was some sort of stand but just couldn’t get my mind to forgive it out by myself. Your video really helped. Straight to the point. Thanks again.
Wow, I’m just finding this out now that you can attach it to make it horizontal. No wonder why it was still wobbly. I though the stand was only for vertical lol
I got to say, I'm impressed that the video got straight to the point and didn't spend 5 minutes asking me to like, comment, subscribe and to hit the little bell icon
Honestly. This is saving my ps5, 3 years later and my system shuts off on its own after about 45 min of play. Took it apart, dusted, swapped the Av cable and put it horizontal . Testing it currently, wish me luck because it's $230 to send to Sony! 😅
So I've had my ps5 for like 3 months and didn't realize the screw was in there and everything. 💀 Thought I read the paperwork but looking back I was too impatient and ready to play🤣 but this was awesome. I'm moving my TV and consoles to another space, so this is a game changer for sure🙌🏾 keep up the good work! You've earned yourself another sub🥳
Just bought a PS5 online last weekend and it's expected to arrive tomorrow. Doing a little research on this topic because I don't want to have it standing vertically. Thanks for your informative video.
To put it horizontal you do not want the hooks to line up with the squares. It doesn’t balance properly. It should be moved 2” to the right of that position when you are facing the front of the ps5
Great video, I finally learned how to use the stand after owning my PS5for 2 years 😭. I always thought the wobble wasn’t suppose to do that when I laid it flat and I was right.
Turns out it was false, and it only happened to certain devices that already had some minor flaws in them. If your device is good then there should be no issue. I am back to the vertical position, which I like more. My device is doing good.
Even screw to the right was demonstrated. This is the finest guide for gamers who prefer to skip tutorial in game and find out later in youtube the walkthrough...
Pov you’re here either because you just got a ps5 or you have been on the internet recently and heard about ps5s thermal paste melting and destroying the console when its vertical
Appreciate this video, I only use my brother’s ps5 for one game and he handed me the stand like I was supposed to know what to do with it. Would’ve never guessed 😂
I heard if you put it vertical, the liquid metal can leak out and fry the motherboard. Odd, I thought it was designed to be vertical. The picture of it on the box is in vertical position.

Sadly now a lot of people will be putting it horizontally due to this vertical flaw with the liquid metal
Thank you so much! Having my PS5 in a vertical position is so much better. This video earned a like 👍🏽 You got straight to the point and was clear with each step.
I've had mine standing vertically with no issues for almost 2 years without ever realising what the stand was for, thanks for the video
I'm switching to horizontal after reading reports about the liquid metal leaking out of some vertically stood up units
Same I did this just now
Same lol
It's pretty much what led me here in the first place. I wasn't 100 percent sure on the positioning of the stand for horizontal
Same just placed mine horizontally, the console used to look way cooler when placed vertically
I have posted how it looked before and after on my TH-cam community page

Went to get my PS5 today, along with Eldenring and Horizon Forbidden West! Thanks for the video!
I've had it vertical since release and just switched it and used your video for this tip without having to buy an aftermarket stand thank you very much
Masterminds at Sony decided to make the console incredibly wonky when laying flat and designed a super obnoxious stand.
Have to agree. I love the general look of the PS5 but this is just stupid.
Is it that bad though? It’s just a screw and a rotating base.

welcome back anytime!
They should have added the screw for horizontal attachment also. Anytime I bump or plug anything in to the console it falls off the base.
I can see 40% off idiotic users somehow breaking their consoles with this stand. You'll see it'll be gone by the next revision.
