Decent video with accurate concise information. Regarding the drive, TronicFix did a video where he swapped drives from one PS5 to another and then back again. The first console recognised and remembered the drive from its first registration and he didn’t need to re-register it when he put it back in the first console. Either way, it’s simple and takes seconds, so no biggie.

[@MysticRyan]

This is exactly where the misinformation comes from I'm afraid. If you watch that video again, he cut where he had to register the drive again. So as I explained here, no matter what - drives are registered to 1 console at a time. Any time a swap happens, you replace registration.

Crazy that they still haven’t fixed the coil whine 4 years later and after 3 different PS5 models.

Shouldn’t be a thing in a £700 console though. That’s just more penny pinching from Sony imo.

I've got one, and it's certainly a £220 upgrade over the OG from what I've seen so far. It'll only get better next year as well once folk start releasing games made with it in mind. I had some fairly big achievments this year and I had the money spare so I thought fuck it why not? It's pretty clearly aimed at enthusiasts, so it's not like every PS5 owner is gonna buy one or even be expected to. If you're into your tech and you want the best possible visuals + performance it's an awesome piece of engineering, and you'll probably really enjoy it. If you're not that fussed about all that just save your money man. It seems to be a really solid mid-gen upgrade but the OG is still an excellent console and will be for many years yet

That's pretty much the last custom cover ps has done so far and I don't think the og ps5 is gonna get anymore custom covers, not even any more color console covers. Imma just have to buy all console covers for the OG model, I'm afraid they might be gone after a while.

[@bryangooden1505]

Honestly I thought the scalpers would be a problem. But I was able to order one from my job this morning. (15% discount for the win baby)

[@max1mu5dc]

Does the coil/fan noise consistently remain near 30db when you play a heavy load game though?

[@Jasonsadventures]

The fan is louder than any other ps5 and the coil whine is about... half as bad as a launch day OG ps5. Which is.. worse than the later revisions of the OG PS5. Hope that helps. It's a bit... cheap but the machine does perform very well if you can still achieve immersion over the coil whine, not everyone will be able to.

[@Boss_Fight_Index_muki]

If you really want Quality Mode at 60fps, go for the Pro. If you're ok with Quality Mode at 30fps, stick with the normal standard ps5.

[@IBelieveInTheGYAT]

Performance is good enough, we play games we don't zoom in and sightsee with binoculars.

[@crocolixsurfstar7561]

I have it but only see minor graphics improvement. Last of us 2 rm yes, Spiderman 2 very little, BO6 not sure if framerate or just my personal hope? Guess Ghost of Yotai and other new titles will rock

[@esho6460]

I appreciate the mentioning of coil whine. It’s something I’ve always noticed but didn’t think much of since I’ve never seen it talked about. So glad to know it’s normal even though oddly enough my Series X in comparison is generally pretty quiet

[@Passageofsky]

Xbox series X is super quite compared to my PS5, I've had two Xbox's and they made way less noise... my PS5 sounds like a spaceship taking off..

[@OG_Daz]

I have both plus a PS5 pro. My XSX and launch day PS5 are very quiet, literally silent almost. The pro is definitely a little louder.

[@miguelveloso3105]

In your opinion its better have the Ps5 horizontal or vertical? Or have no issue both ways ?

[@steven2809]

I had mine vertical for 3 years....but recently put it horizontally in my AV rack...and I much prefer it 👍

[@angelgs90]

I was hoping they will finally solve the coil whine thing on this expensive console. I was wrong.

[@ARXInfinite]

That is one thing I’ll give to Xbox, the quality of just everything from the internal design, to the components inside to the layout etc, it is just so incredibly well built and honestly makes PlayStations look cheap on the inside even the pro… and it’s just a smaller quieter console. Nothing wrong with ps of course they are amazing but I cannot say the same about quality. And they seem to break more than Xbox series X’s I’ve seen in repair shops etc etc

[@markus9641]

@@ARXInfiniteJust want to add, the only reason you’re seeing more ps5’s in repair shops is due to there simply being two are three times as many PS5’s as there is Series consoles.

[@Red_Nanaki]

@@ARXInfiniteyeah here comes the fake ass I see more in repairs shop story

[@Throbingkcoc]

​@@ARXInfiniteSeries X is very well built and the hardware is better. No need to get a Pro if you have a Series X because it is going to run future titles like GTA 6 just fine.

[@TISUAL]

I think the packaging box is more stable too for Xbox series. Not sure since I never touched one in person. But I do know the Nintendo switch box is very solid and not flimsy like the PS5 box. Seems like they would have made the ps5 packaging box more solid since it is bigger than the other two competitors consoles.

[@eruannster]

I found installing the disc drive was a bit scary as it didn't just slot in on my first attempt. I moved it a bit and gave it a little push and it felt like nothing was happening so I picked it up again and noticed I had made a very tiny dent in the metal on the inside of the console next to the pin hole because it wasn't quite right in there. Lifted it up, jiggled it gently a little bit and PLOP suddenly it went in. I was a bit worried the dent would have done something but the PS5 Pro immediately picked up the disc drive and reads discs just fine (and is even a bit quieter than my launch model PS5) so I guess it was fine after all. Really had me sweating for a moment, though!

[@ChipHaven_Dan]

After having the console in hand i can say this: the packaging looks really cheap, the console itself looks cheap not really like a premium pro fessional console, the differences are not so notable, it could have been much better like twice as fast but it would have mean a big gap vs the ps5..but still the price has been doubled, no disk drive and stand makes it even cheaper and a stand is a must. I realky hope that they will make a limited edition similar to the 500 million one as this one is by no means premium

[@snipinpixihunter]

My arrives today when amazon original said monday! Im so excited! First games I'll play: FF7 Rebirth, Alan Wake 2 (physical baby!), and Stellar Blade NG+

[@LittleGoblinJR]

SHEEP!

[@Crimsongz]

The original PS3 look more premium lmao !

[@0thers1d3]

For real! 😂😂

[@MadnessMan13]

Fat Ps3 still one of my favorite console designs to this day.

[@ryans413]

Fat PS3 gave you more value for 600 dollars then the PS5 pro for 700 dollars. Yea PS3 was expensive for the time but you got a Blu Ray player big for the time wireless internet big for the time wireless controller big for the time free PSN PS1 , PS2 playback 4 usb ports memory stick reader HDMI big for the time oh HD gaming big for the time. The console could also play CDs and DVDs and rip CDs to the hard drive. This thing was a tank and had tremendous value. What value dose the PS5 Pro have oh slightly less blurriness in games give me 700 dollars please.

[@MadnessMan13]

@@ryans413 Right lol oh you want to play physical games with no ability for backwards compatibility? Another $80 please lol

[@Brianhall1174]

I bought a third party stand from Amazon that is half the price and looks and works identical to the Sony branded one.

[@EnaTenkiyoGamer]

PS portal still stutters with the ps5 pro, FYI.

[@ryans413]

My portal works flawlessly no stutter don’t know about you

[@AlexP-dz7ew]

That’s because the stuttering is caused by internet speed, not the ability of the console itself

[@clintzieandromeda6216]

Nice unboxing and review of your PS5 Pro. It's good to have to put a disc drive.

[@HatCHeTHaZ]

Personally not worth the 700+ upgrade considering the pro enhanced games are still capped at 30fps, no disc drive

[@0thers1d3]

Exactly.

[@thebereandialogues]

They aren't capped at 30fps though

[@davidcarmichael4006]

I appreciate your comparison photos

[@Tizidmrk]

[@dnc9952]

Listening to some podcasts, they mention the fan is worse than the PS4 pro Harrier jump jet, just wondered if you can confirm? In the 4 on some games playing it late at night it was deafening .

[@valtay4277]

Ryan doinng a 17 minute video on how not to waste your money, lol.

[@graphicarc]

Great video but for teardown I was kind of expecting full removal of things :) hopefully they used less screws this time around ... PS5s are a pain to repair just because it takes ages to unscrew all the different screws...

[@Orain88]

Still has the same crappy hdmi bandwidth as base ps5, doesn't support full rgb hdr in 120 hz mode. Pretty disappointing. Psvr2 games that rely on dynamic resolution look much better. That's the only thing keeping me from returning this thing.

[@twrecks4598]

So... I have a standard PS5 with disc drive, and I have many many hrs on it. I've already had it apart a couple times to clean out the lint which this thing acts like a vacuum cleaner for the room. Another issue I am concerned with is how hot my PS5 seems to get and I wonder why sony hasn't offered a sort of "chill mat" as an accessory, and I'm wondering if you think a chill mat for a laptop would be a good thing to use ?

[@brodysdaddy]

$700 and you had to put sticky tape feet on it? ……damn.

[@0thers1d3]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@MrRaven2517]

Coming from an OG to a Pro, what have folks done to deal with the USB situation when it comes to the Logitech g923 steering wheel for GT7 and Fight Sticks. Has anyone tried an USB-C > A adapter in the front or just went extension cable to the rear A port? Any recommendations?

[@PQwhatitdo]

More appearances from your cat please 🐈‍⬛

[@Red_Ring_Of_Death]

I’ve owned a PS5 since launch. I bought the Pro. I bought the drive and stand. I’m happy with my purchase. It’s awesome. If you can afford it, you won’t regret the purchase.

[@DrakonR]

Literal bot comment.

[@NoHacksTSR]

$959.99 plus tax here in Canada 😂 . Seriously!? 😂 no thanks I’ll stick with the slim which has a disc drive.

[@DoritosBurger]

It’s going to get even more expensive than that because of Trump and his tariff fee increase.

[@WildfireX]

The Pro is louder than the OG models fan for sure. I can hear the Pro fan from roughly 1 metre away on my desk with my headphones on (open back Beyer tygr 300r) when i have all audio muted, when I could never hear the fan on my OG PS5. I was lucky with the OG PS5, I had the good fan + I had Dbrand darkplates with the fan cut out, so never had any overheating issues. I can definitely hear the pro fan when playing games, it's only subtle, but it is there. I wonder if the OG fan would fit the pro if i swapped them & plugged it in?

[@johnjoelcondez6421]

I plan to place mines horizontal when I get it. I want to know with disc drive installed do I need to place both plastic legs? I don't like the look of them and hoping I can do without the front legs atleast to minimize seeing it. Will the PlayStation pro still be stable while lying down horizontally?
