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..

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.

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.

[@erdvilla]

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.

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. I was able to play the Final Fantasy 7 remake zero issues on my Ps5 just like I did on my PS4

Happy to discover this channel today

[@jtjones4727]

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.

I haven't bought a PS5 yet, because there aren't that many games I enjoy. Would rather wait for a price drop, when more games are available for more acceptable prices.

[@KENGAR89]

This is a first time where the slim is released and you really don't NEED to upgrade or feel any buyers remorse. The differences really seem to come down to looks, disc drive, and ports.

[@ryans413]

Having two USB C ports is nice but still not a dealbreaker for me. The design looks worse the two plastic feet look cheap the fact you gotta have internet connection to swap the disc drive is odd the new location of the M.2 slot will cause overheating problems. You now have 4 panels instead of 2 and watch Sony sell them all separately. No vertical stand included that’s 30 extra dollars and 70 dollars for the disc drive is insane plus the digital version is now more money. There’s no need to upgrade it’s not even an upgrade.

And I think if they were able to do it, pirates could have an easier time pirating the games because it would reduce their headaches if trying to crack the PS5's anti-piracy protection by modifying the console itself. In better cases, if they are emulators that are decent enough to play PS5 and PS4 games, they could add CD-ROM support, which allows PS5 disc drive adaptors to let playes emulate their original games more authentic to a real PS5.

@@MinecrafterPicturesThat’s not how any of that works.

[@SteddiFLo]

Actually the reason 830GB from 848GB is because Astrobot is pre-installed on the PS5 slim. You can delete Astrobot off the internal storage. PS5 Slim has more storage than Xbox Series S/X 1TB usable 802GB.

[@foxythetroll644]

Not true the xbox series x has 808 GB of data

I was looking for this comment, didn't know about that

[@Special_Agent_Frank_Horrigan]

Bro even 1 tb is too little nowadays, the ps5 should of had 2tb and the ps6 should have 4 or more. The ps5 is absolutely not future proof. Expect a 500 gb game in the next 5 years

[@ceasarsalad119]

What happens if you factory reset the console? - Do you need to validate the drive again using the internet. If this is so then that's why having the internet requirement is a big deal. If it doesn't and only connects once then ultimately it's only like the older PS5s in the sense that it's a console with a disc drive and without the servers it cannot be replaced. The disc drive cannot be replaced on the older PS5s because they are married to the motherboard so its the same deal. If you need to register everytime you factory reset then when the servers are dead so is your console if it requires a reset.

[@onetrueloli]

What if you have to register it to an account? Making it an account locked disc drive.

[@gutterg0d]

This is not planned obsolescence, they're just protecting customers from counterfeit accessories. /End of sarcasm.

[@leorelic]

this is a big problem and them pushing digital only future is why Consoles are losing their appeal to me , PC is the future imo if we're going to be digital only (yes i know at 500 bucks price to performance for consoles are insane , but at the same time i rather pay more and get a PC where i know i own shit and most games i have are preserved forever , and things like Steam Deck and Lenovo Legion Go are really making it worth it with their prices)

It will cost you

[@TheSpacemanSal]

Honestly the small press increase I think is worth it with the sheer amount of extra storage. That's really the only main upgrade besides size and maybe thermals.

[@jackaroostertoo917]

The problem though is that they are stopping production of the original so now there isn't a cheaper option. Also considering that this is pretty much the same technology it still should have dropped in price because it's only a 100 extra gigabytes so why would it increase by 50$? Think about the Xbox series s carbon black getting 500 extra gigabytes for the same price increase. Not to mention charging 30$ for a stand is atrocious

[@Patkilla7558]

Not really, considering you can buy and replace the current SSD for more storage on both units.

I kinda wish I saved the money and got the digital since I've never actually put a disc in mine. I did replace the plates with rounded ones so I could travel with it and it shrank the size quite a bit. I was worried the stock plate overhangs would get broken.

[@kunchography3725]

I appreciate that you when you measure weight you use KG's as the primary and use a citation to display LBS as the secondary. You make videos for the world and out of the whole world only one country significantly uses LBS, so using KG's as the primary makes a lot of sense.

[@SamShudders]

Thanks! Now I know where to put my fans on the enclosure for the enclosure I’m building!

[@AlexanderDreams]

Does anyone know if a company makes more square and flat side panels for the PS5? I really love the PS4 design and forum factor. The PS5 really drives me nuts in its un conventional design. I’d like to buy one and be able to remove the side panels and swap to something more boxy looking.

[@SiskoSvK]

Is it only me or this just makes me appreciate the Xbox design more? Simple box that you can place anyway you want really, without any pegs... The expansion although expensive, just plug and play like a PS1/2 memory card. I've got both consoles but the Series X feels and looks like it was redesigned the most

[@CalQaida]

Xbox is plain and simple. The PS5 looks like a hotel in Dubai. At least the digital version is much better design aesthetically speaking.

[@D1smantle]

But then again (correct me if i'm mistaken) you need to get an expansion storage made by MS specifically designed for the xbox.

As far as the 4 vs 6 nands on the ssd, how could this potentially affect through? I am not very knowledgeable, but i do feel like while downloading to internal ssd, and transferring games from external to internal there is a slowdown.
