The PS5 Slim is WEIRD…

It's baaaack! It's been a long time since I've made a foreign disc video, but I decided to bring it back for the PS5 slim. For the nostalgia. I also decided to try some other experiments with the removable disc drive... since that's a new thing. Hope you enjoy this blast to the past!

[@Dman130]

This whole disc drive is crazy. Never would imagine a disc drive needing to be connected to the internet.

[@dxtremecaliber]

At first when i heard i thought it was bad for game console perservation but if you gonna think about it it just makes sense because you need the software/firmwire to remarry the disc drive to the console just like on PS3 and PS4 you cant just swap the disc drives you need to remarry them its just like the drivers for peripherals or gpu on PC I think Sony did a great job for the modular disc drive but they need to do an offline tool to remarry the drive just like their firmwires on PS3, PS4 and PS5 you can install it without an internet if you download the file and put it on and flashdrive then put the flashdrive on your console then install i think that is the solution for it Sony is gonna find a fix for that in the future dont worry

[@castroh19]

​@@dxtremecaliber That makes sense. I also think they did this so people cant make bootleg drives

[@dxtremecaliber]

@@castroh19ye great point i forgot pointing that out the copy protection too they really need a verifying process to combat bootleging

[@snoleopard]

@@dxtremecaliber i was really angry when i found out a disc drive had to connect to the internet, it threw me back to the xbox one's launch. but now that you've explained it, it makes much more sense. i doubt sony won't make an offline disc remarrying tool, it would probably take five minutes, and would make the slim just that little bit better.

Love seeing Jacob r doing these types of things with any console.

[@janemba42]

There is still a high chance the data will be corrupted by disconnecting the disk drive like that. I reckon if you disconnected it then immediately unplugged the PS5 it would corrupt and data left in the RAM.

[@user-uu9up5fe5t]

if the ps5 is turned off (not sleep) or unplugged without any power there is no data left in the ram anyway so no corruption can occour other than faulty game files which nowadays even consoles verify the data after copy, that means if u reuplug and continue the install / download it checks where it stopped & verify the last couple gibabyte or so, also a reason why ur console wont start the copy/download immediately - tho it still can happen but very very rare, maybe if u unplug - insta replug & unplug over and over again

Wii U discs are actually pretty unique. Even shaped a lil different on the edges if you look closely. And i think it is a form of Blu Ray

[@lucymorrison]

Wii U discs are essentially identical to Blu-ray Discs with minor modifications so Nintendo didnt have to pay the Blu-ray Disc Association for every disc printed, I believe the modifications are that it uses an irregular file system , the thickness is different and a smoothing technique is used on the rim of the disc.

Nah, for him these few loses will turn into profit. But I'm sure you've realized that... 🙂 Appreciate Jacob's experiments tho, never know what you're gonna learn / see lol. Its funny although, I guess I just watch these videos because I miss my consoles a smidge. I only have a custom built PC now, but I do miss consoles always a few friends who don't have PCs + of course the Sony exclusives.

I love these sorts of videos... And like you said, seeing those videos of stuff like "This is an XBOX game, please insert the disc in an XBOX console" and whatnot were always weirdly fascinating Same goes for the Dreamcast/Saturn data error things Every type of console "special" messages and errors are awesome c:

[@stephenbaker1030]

Thanks for the video's Jacob. Question for you from the video, at one point it was asking you to change the region coding of the drive. Is this a function that I can access off the dashboard or is it just accessible only when I put in say a region B or C Blu-ray ( I have a bunch of region locked Blu's in storage). If this is possible to make it a region different system, how would I be able to do it? Thanks

[@Mr_Milenko]

The region for the video partition of Xbox discs should be region free. Fun fact, the video on the OG Xbox discs is a video of one of the planned original boot screens.

[@OlaftheGreat]

I remember back in 2016 when I bought the Fallout Anthology collection and I was put off that I had to set up a Steam account, as I didn't have stable home Internet back in those days. I've gotten used to software DRM since then, but I am beyond pissed at the recent rise in HARDWARE BASED DRM. From blacklisted cell phones to blacklisted PS5 consoles to DISK DRIVES?!?

Big Chungus was too Chungus for the PS5. Sony seriously needs to patch this.

[@Realloyalist]

Here's an experiment regarding the DVD region. Is the DVD region tied to the disc drive or the console?

[@jrob0021]

Ohh good question 🧐

[@kasiadinero1695]

Disc drive probably

[@BK-pc3ei]

No need for that functionality since we can stream it

[@user-zi7vg5zd1d]

tied to the disc drive. meaning you can buy another disc drive and link it to another region. and swap the drives if you wanna play a foreign dvd

[@theoutsiderjess4869]

Im so glad that they added safety measures for yanking the disc drive which is good

“An” experimental PS5. Pro tip… Whenever there is a word starting with a vowel following ‘a,’ you add an n. An owl, an apple, an evening out, etc. Of course I don’t think you should have used the same word twice in the same sentence, either. “This is quite the experimental PS5,” would have been short and concise.

If you change the region of the discdrive will it be specific for that seperate discdrive or is it the entire console? Lets say you want one discdrive for europe region games and one for usa. Please test that out by swaping the discdrives back and forth.

My question is in the last video when you first turned on that PS five did you still have to register that disc drive? Because if so, that means now that you have to have an Internet connection when you first set up your PlayStation 5? Kinda like they all are slim models out of the box until you register the drive, even if it comes with one?

Correct

Curious fact: the ps4’ and the ps5’ optical drives lack the IR laser needed for CDs, since the ps1 game is a CD, not a DVD or blu-ray it just thinks the disc it’s damaged and tries again, when it’s in fact incapable of reading it. They just have the red and blue-violet lasers for DVDs and blu-rays respectively.
