@Doc.Q you don’t have to be of “age” to retire lmao it’s simply a mim req not mandatory. It could also go the other way and you can retire early.

PS5 CFI-1200 Series had smaller motherboard , smaller processor (6nm) thus makes it consume less power , at the same time makes it quieter and cooler , the VRM had an extra copper heatpipes , SSD Slot had the PCB under the SSD Removed thus makes the SSD had a contact with the metal plate which technically makes the SSD cooler since it is now sandwiched between the metal heatspreader and the metal plate

It's a damn shame they didn't do a themed console or include the limited edition controllers.

I understand why they didn't include the controller because it's limited edition and the bundle probably isn't. But the game is one of the greatest ever and deserved unique side plates and controller. But ya the PS5 GoW is by no means the GoW edition, it's simply a PS5 bundle.

The cooling on the launch edition was overkill to begin with. As was the general size of the console as a whole. The weight saving isnt just about saving on costnof manufacturing, but the cost of shipping as well. Shipping costs have jumped crazy high since covid. Lighter weight means a box a consoles has a lower freight cost. As far as HW goes, if I remember correctly, wasn't there talk of the PS5 eventually moving to a 6nm revision of the Zen2 soc?

Lol I have a meter and my partner has is like have you left your ps5 on?! I can see 8p on the meter lol ! I been asked to play my switch more and charge it in work 😂😂😂

[@SeeDaRipper...]

@@PlanetsideMagpie From what i can make out of your comment you and you partner both have your PS5's on and it's 8p? And no, my PS5 is off when not in use. As soon as i turn it on the smart meter tells me it's an extra 8p added onto the 6p currently running (i.e the TV, amp, fridge etc) so 14p an hour.

[@dreazy34]

Headphones might be a good choice .Save the 7.1 for when you aren't alone . Again it's still gonna cost more up front .

[@SeeDaRipper...]

@@dreazy34 LOL, no offence but i'm not sitting/working around all day with headphones on, the Sony amp i have actually is under a penny an hour🤷‍♂

How can I tell what model I have? Something on the serial number?

[@abysswalker3357]

The CMOS battery issue have been fixed with a firmware update both for PS4 and ps5 not sure about PS3 tho

[@chrism023]

What model comes in the God Of War bundle pack?

[@TheJohnnyx1]

So the OG is expensive to make ?? Nice 👍

[@mking8242]

Yes but like he said over powered

[@aganbraganca4156]

@@mking8242 is it better than the new model?

[@BrucifyMe]

@@aganbraganca4156 Only better in the sense that it has the largest cooling system. It was arguably overkill but Sony had to ensure they wouldn't release jet engine consoles again. Once the dust settled they realized they could get away with a lot less cooling while still maintaining the quiet operation, hence the dramatic reduction you see in the 1100 model. Outside of that, power consumption will ofc be best (most efficient) on the new model.

Shipped from Australia? I live there and can't find one

[@PrayTellGaming]

From day 1, the very first teardown of the PS5 that I saw figured it was a mess of a cooling system. The Series X (and the S for that matter) may look "simpler" but they are designed to do what they do while cooling as efficiently as possible.

[@skyblue2139]

Yeah the PS5 cooling system is not great. It doesn't circulate air flow correctly for several reasons. The Series X on the other hand is a lot better, and even more so now as it's had a few internal revisions too, it just doesn't get talked about as much. Having owned both I can tell you, the Series X runs quieter (not by much but it is noticeable) and draws less power overall especially when just streaming video on it.

[@MisterReen]

But still no exciting games on Xbox

[@skyblue2139]

@@MisterReen You're stating opinion as fact there, a common gamer problem. Its more accurate to say that there's nothing on Xbox that *you* find exciting cos you don't speak for everyone... personally I think there's plenty of great games on the platform.

[@Bit-Z1]

Personally, I respect a nice rectangle. It’s easier to find space for and doesn’t complicate the engineering. PS5 is a nice design aesthetically but it wastes space from a practical perspective.

So I was finally able to get a PS5. I got the PlayStation®5 Console - Horizon Forbidden West™ Bundle in the middle of August. So how do I tell which PS5 I got?

[@tigertony7724]

The PS five pro does not exist you been watching way too much Twitter

[@kybone25]

Is the CFI-1116A good?? As good as the 1200 model?

[@sydguitar99]

I don't think they will release a PS5 pro because the base PS5 is leaps and bounds more powerful than the PS4 was when it first launched and that's why they needed the PS4 Pro bc the system was outdated the day it launched pretty much

[@TheChico868]

Slim first them pro years later

[@user-zy3eq9xc7e]

Which is best 1100 or 1200 or New

[@warwombat_]

By the time this gen gaming consoles is considered “old” or ready for an update gaming will be cloud streaming based. Easier to manage cross play, easier to distribute and can be a lot cheaper so can reach more people around the world.

[@damianshafer7308]

Slim chance because there's still a lot of people that don't have great internet for that. And it will be a while before the whole world has internet like that and it's not because they're poor it's because of where they live like me we are just now going to get internet out here in November and I'm not even sure how good it's going to be and if it's going to be super expensive because there's only going to be one provider so they can set the prices

[@damianshafer7308]

And besides that there's people like me that prefer to have a hard copy to play on. If it goes that way with consoles then I'll just go to PC and start ripping my games for free

[@mikejonez724]

@@Anedime Yea cloud gaming is never going to take over gaming at home IMO. I don't think we'll ever get to a point where cloud gaming will simply be a better experience than having dedicated hardware to play on. I think we'll see it used as an addon to mobile gaming, it'll be used when your console just isn't available so you don't have a choice but to stream.

how can you tell which one you have without taking it apart?

[@alphach1mp]

With that new design, they could have made is smaller by length by a few inches further cutting plastic and some metal. I would have been fine if they also made it wider if they shortened the length.

[@wally6615]

Just to put it in perspective, the PS4 (10 yrs. old) current chip revision is 9 , the PS5 (2yrs old) is at 8, this acceleration is do to the chip shortage, PS needs more machines sold, I saw on SONY quarterly report that they want to sale 18 million units in this last JP reporting half of 22, estimated by Bloomberg total since the release is around 18 mil, and they want that number in a 6 month reporting, if they produce them, they will sale them. My only critique is the lack of new original IP games.
