[@richardmcmurray612]

I live in the uk and ordered the digital version as my PS4 is unplayable in regards to some games now with constant error messages ( I’m playing BloodBowl3 and I can’t finish a match without an error message coming up and the game shutting down) I assume it’s just the age of my PS4. So I’m upgrading to PS5. How easy is it to transfer information from PS4-PS5?

[@neusjmneus8553]

I got it last week and it's great, The good thing is the storage and the size the design is up to you if you like it or not but somethings I dont like is the lack of a vertical stand in which you can use it without it but its unstable, Also the horizontal stand is not that good is not like solid it moves a little bit, I got the spider man 2 bundle which comes with the game for free I got it for 500$ in the U.S, The disc thing you need to connect it to wifi only one time, I did it the first time i turned it on, So is not that bad but if you have friends who have disc games i will recommend the disc version from the beginning because if you get the digital one and then you get the disc it will cost you more.

​@@pnwfisher2144Can you explain why? Except for the storage, I don't care about the 2 usb-c ports or disc-drive thing because I have never broke a disc-drive in my life plus with the 2 usb ports, I barely even use it.

[@SpeedyBeast6655]

@ratchet2007 If you did your research bro you would know about it ! Sony made the slim cheaper material so the console will not last longer than OG ps5 . Sony did this on purpose to bring the price high and nobody want a glossy ps5 slim is easy to scratch it . Also if u have the ps5 slim u need to pay $30 for vertical stand if not they give you a toothpick horizontal stand 😂 My OG ps5 already comes with a vertical and horizontal stand i hope you understand now Sony don't care about gamers all they want is cheap out and money ! .

[@ItsGwenzy4ever]

@ratchet2007 Ok, let me explain. It's bigger, that's correct. It's not slower; they literally have the same specs inside, it has better airflow since it has a bigger fan with 23 blades while the slim only has 19 blades. (Depends which fan you get for the Ps5 Og) Less storage is correct but for the Slim, you get a cheap stand and like I said, it isn't any slower when it has the same specs. Also, the Slim doesn't have vent grills. Vent grills are important since it protects dust from getting inside the console.

[@ItsGwenzy4ever]

@ratchet2007 They won't interrupt the airflow, that doesn't have to do anything about overheating. If your ps5 Og is overheating, you're a dirty slob who doesn't clean it or it probably is faulty. About the vent grills being remove, it has drawbacks too.. For example: Dust and debris, physical damage, pest intrusion and etc.. Now, like you said; just take care of the console. That's literally the same thing about what you just said, the Og Ps5 overheating because of vent grills? That won't even happened if you take care of your console, or the console could be faulty. Also wanna know why people are buying dust cover net for the Ps5? Yeah, because they don't want their console to build up dust. They also clean their Ps5 because they don't want it to catch dusts.

It is indeed a bit louder. Other people doesn't have proof but I have, check "Mystic's" video, he showed that the slim is louder. Don't believe the people commenting, it is quieter than the Og. It's louder due to it's size, the Og/Phat have a bigger fan, heatsink and airflow thus circulating air more better. Bigger fan is always better since it doesn't need to work harder, it makes less noise unlike a smaller fan that needs to work harder thus providing more noise.

An utrasound that makes the head hurt. And there is like almost half of consoles with such NMB fan, but some people luck to get those quite ones, those people happen to be Big Bloggers! So this issue is not discuss and Sony keeps making PS5 with an insanely loud high pitch sound.
