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!

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]

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.

[@JoenHarlver]

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.

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.

[@robertschneider4914]

The definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results

[@Khloya69]

It struggled with the ps1 game because PS1 games are CD, and ps4 and 5 don’t support CDs of any kind, even music CDs, because they don’t have the IR laser inside, Blu Rays, DVDs, and CDs all use different wavelengths. PS4 and 5 only support blu ray for games and movies, and dvd for movies.

[@OmegaKenelly]

Mr Technology expert has spoken. Yup, don’t wanna forget about the wavelengths and lasers etc.

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

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

[@CJ_animations444]

The reason why the ps1 disc wasn't exactly reading correctly is probably because the ps1 used CD's to store games not DVD's

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

It's really anticonsumer to not have backwards compatibility. I can run PS1 games on the weakest of PCs.

[@IceBlueLugia]

It hardly seems anticonsumer to not have backwards compatibility, more like just a missed opportunity. Even if they did offer it, it would just load up a PS1 emulator anyway. It could probably emulate PS2 as well, but PS3 would be very difficult to do; at that point, just keep your PS3 around and you can still play your PS1 and PS2 games no problem

​@@IceBlueLugiaa company purposely leaving out backwards compatibality so they can resell you remastered games is very anti consumer.

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.

they have this limited amount of region changes on the ps5 because technically the 4k disc drive in the console is region free for all discs it’s just a software limitation so people don’t buy dvds or blurays with foreign region codes cheaper from elsewhere than their place
