You get a ps5 slim if you do not have a ps5 already .
Moving from a ps5 to a ps5 slim is no upgrade .
Its a downgrade 😂
@@Zumoshikami how? Lol it's the same just one is smaller
@@one.2622 makes more noise and gets warmer...
@@user-xt4wn7nz2v I haven't noticed, I have both. The slim and OG. Damn I'm high, I have headphones on so it doesn't matter to me 😂
too expensive, im just gonna get the standard ps5 for 400 bucks
I think people should realise by now that if you have a current PS5 that there is absolutely no reason or need to “upgrade” to this new model. Nothing is different about the way it operates from your current PS5. It shouldn’t even be considered an upgrade. It is simply a design revision.
Yes there is
@@firedallasjill5230 How so? Apart from offering slightly more storage from the ssd, nothing about the redesign performs differently from the ‘fat’ PS5. It’s not faster, it’s not quieter, it doesn’t run any cooler or draw less power (unless you have the launch PS5, which is only marginally more power hungry and warmer). The operation is exactly the same.
I upgraded my ps5 to a ps5 slim and for me it was worth then change. I take it often in my packpack so it’s nice that it‘s lighter and smaller. Plus the fact that you have 2 usb c ports now. Who uses usb A?? And I like the way you can make it digital version.
i refuse to believe a smaller device is less powerful@@bpowick
@@tatianamellstrom7806It's better, it's newer and has better graphics
I'm happy with my OG PS5 I bought a couple of months ago. Getting it for £386 with EA Sports FC instead of paying £499 for the PS5 Slim was a no brainer for me. The removable Disc drive on the Slim is great though. It means you can replace the disc drive easily should it become faulty. The best thing about the PS5 Slim will be all the Black Friday deals there will be for the OG PS5
Don’t upgrade ever
@huhh1077 It will cost £499. I could buy the OG PS5 with Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 3 and Spider-Man 2 and still have £40 left in my pocket. I just doesn't make sense to me that the PS5 Slim is that price
My 8 year old ps4 disc drive still works , are disc drive unreliable ?
@@franklingoodwin $500 is not a lot of money in 2023 anymore .
Playing new AAA games at 1440p/60fps for $500 is not a bad deal .
@@Crashed131963 fR tho
The answer is no you should not upgrade
Exactly
Bro are people that slow? Who tf upgrades to a ps5 slim😂😂😂 this is just for people who dont own a ps5 yet. Literally the same price and specs just smaller with 175 extra gb's. No brainer. The old ps5 will be discontinued and this will replace it as the regular ps5. Its not an upgrade
@@yehiahosari4188so should i Just buy the slim because I don’t own one yet but I’m struggling to make the decision 😂
@@Piff_TVme too! Idk if i should get the brand new one for 499. Or buy a refurbished spiderman ps5 from gamestop for 531.99 and get the og one but have it limited edition. So MANY CHOICES BRO
@@TeddzworthI'm about to purchase one but I dont know what one to get either . They are the same price where I'm at but the slim actually comes with Spiderman 2 and the regular one is solo.
This answered all my questions thank you
Thank you for all the info my man. These are the kind of videos I come to CZcams to get all the information I need about a certain subject and you hit every single point you got to subscribe for me
thing is, when the PS3 slim came out it genuinely felt like an overall improved console. This is just pretty much the same thing
so what the slim did different back then vs now? cause it’s the same y’all just hating on the slim.
@@Willkill1999 I’m not hating on the slim. The slim is better than the base PS5 imo. But there’s no reason for base PS5 players to upgrade, whereas with the PS3 there were certain performance upgrades, and a lower pricetag that made an upgrade a sensible decision.
@@jwitkowski314 I’ve got both versions of the ps3’s
Having old consoles isnt a unique abd special thing, almost every faming collects in some form or another, i have consoles dating back before you were even alive, but who even cares?😂🤓☝️
@@chazbarns1410 🤓
It is good for the people that have bad luck with their disc drive when stop reading discs. They can just easily buy another drive and replace it instead of the original PS5 you have to take it all apart to get to the disc drive and repair it.
not a big deal to replace it. PS5 is easy to open up to that degree. probably cheaper to get that drive replacement, right now anyway
That a great point that i have not heard yet
I want to get because it’s smaller
You can also detach your disc drive and take it over your friend’s house with your games if your buddy has the digital… now the chances of that are slim but it’s an option. I think Sony did this so now ppl will go buy a new disc drive instead of sending the system in to be repaired. They will still make money and you will not have to go through the ship and wait process.
@@rubeno7513 Might not work well. Disc drive seems to be registered to your account. I don't know if Sony allows sharing one drive between multiple units. It looks like it's intended for one PS5 to have more than one drive in case of a failure.
Great video dude exactly what I came for man
Wouldve been great if u did some thermal testing. Bc that would be the biggest difference probably
consult bro, my question is if you advise me to buy the ps5 digital cfi 1215b since there are good offers here for that model and if Do you know if that particular model has coil whine!! thanks my question
Thanks so much for the information, grate video 👍
First time jumping into the PS5 so I bought the slim. Had my series X since day 1 and figured I’d get a PS5 someday and this one is perfect
Stfu no one cares
Gratz on owning both console
Bro same here I just made the switch to ps5 last Friday got the og Spider-Man 2 edition
@holymoses78 ty in helping me make decision rnow
Yep I have the og limited edition spiderman2 and the slim is better buddy runs faster in my opinion
I have PS5 for 2 years now, console is running still perfectly fine. I have never experienced overheating or noisy fan while playing games. It is known, PS5 has oversized cooling system, but how about this smaller one ? PS5 slim is same with HW as "old" one, but much smallet. I would bet, cooling is going to be worse.
They are ridiculously heavy and big. Mines a pain to carry around. I don’t think I’d bother upgrading to a slim though. I’ll wait for a pro
I just wonder if the silm gunna have issues I like the OG one cause it’s not made like this
Great video, thanks mate!
Thank you for the info great video 👍
Very informative, thank you!
If I hadn't of secured a day 1 purchase then maybe I'd consider but the OG will do until pro drops otherwise pointless to jump if already own the original.
amazing video, nice work :)
considering how giant modern GPU's (4080/4090 fro example) are to support 4k gaming, i think the ps5 is a fair size.
You don't have to take the screws of the disc drive out
Great video! Thank you!
Do you have any observations on temperatures during gaming? Is it hotter than OG PS5?
Have you learned anything about the difference in temp regulation?
Great video. thank you❤
Perfect video! Thank you very much. Liked and subscribed.
Glad you liked it
how is the thermal in slim is it improved
Lol Superman just chillin in the background
Thank you for not being fake and explaining everything into detail the way I needed
Does the pulse 3d header work work with the slim model cause it doesn’t have a regular usb port for the dongle
So if you're still wondering which to buy even though it's been like months now, lemme help you; hopefully.
If you're looking for a brand new console right now, i suggest the Ps5 Slim. Why? Because it is the only Ps5 you would easily find in the market right now and also better for future customization. If you're looking for a used Ps5, then I suggest the Ps5 Phat. Why? Because it would be cheaper than a used Ps5 Slim because it would be still new.
Here are the Slim's pros and cons.
Pros:
Smaller (More Compact)
1tb
Removable Disc-drive
4 plates (Just for design)
Cons:
Slightly hotter
Slightly more noisy
Large opening at the top (Bad because dusts can come in easily)
Glossy Design (can be remove though)
Also, I wouldn't count the more usb-c ports because as of right now; some people still use the regular usb-a port to use their headphones. I wouldn't recommend just using the back usb-a port because it could get pretty hot back there, so to solve this; just buy a usb-hub. Also, the slightly hotter/noisy isn't that bad. It's only slightly, not more or much.
(Correct me if I commented something wrong! I would only take the real ones, not the fake ones.)
Got PS5 on black friday discount for 430 Euros comparing to Slim that currently goes for 550 Euros. I cannot figure out why not to use the extra 120 Euros for one year subscription in Sony Plus or upgrade with 1 terra SSD.
Also I am a bit concerned about heating issues with slim version since it is using the exact same chip as the OG PS5. What they did to actually justify the size decrease without compromising the thermal ?
I guess time will tell...
120 euros for one year ps plus is CRAZY
@@Noviath-kw7dg They're speaking of the premium version I believe. Three versions of PS Plus
Well explained 👏🏽 👏🏽. Will subscribe!
You didn't 😂
This is a very useful video for if you should buy a ps5 or slim. Legend
You don't need to take out the screws in the disk drive. Also the wifi is not upgraded to 6e. It's the same 6 as the original. So don't upgrade. It's literally the same console, just with an extra usb c, and removal of the type a port (still usb 2.0 speeds unfortunately). And 175 extra GB of internal space.
My ps5 wifi test was 475 mbps . Never had a game take longer that 15 min to download .
Yea I’m have to upgrade my ps5 turns off randomly every day bro.
exactly its the same wifi 6 connectivity bc my launch PS5 downloads games & updates fast asf 😂
@@JyDaOne1 I had a Ps4 do that turned out iy was very dusty dirty inside and a good cleaning fixed it .
Great how to videos on how to to it .
@@Crashed131963 the thing is I just got my PlayStation like 2 months ago
So really gaming wise the only real only upgrade for me is the better WiFi connection? N even then does it matter even tho I use a lan cable?
Thank you so much for that comparison. A good thing to look for when identifying what each console looks like because the vendor and their description can be misleading, so your take helps me identify scammers. Much appreciated!
You didn't have to unscrew to take out the drive.
Basically for anyone wondering, if you are buying a new PS5, you should choose a Slim. If you have a PS5 there is not much need (usually) to buy the slim.
Key tips:
-Same power
-Smaller
-1Tb storage (+175gb)
-4 panels instead of two (only aethstetic change)
Bigger Case = better cooling.
@@donharrycorleone not necessarily but sure, in this case I believe the standard has a somewhat "better" cooling.
But considering the Slim has enough cooling to never overheat and I have been playing GoW Ragnarok, Horizon Forbiden West and CoD and it has been silent (digital version btw), I see it as a total benefit having a more compact system for what in my experience seem to have no consequence.
+wifi 6
@rangershark10 Don't both consoles support Wi-Fi 6?
Thanks a lot for the information and sharing. How is the heating, fan sound compared to ps5 org
According to the PlayStation form the PS5 slim has a better cooling system compared to the PS5 org
Great video dude
How does it perform tho ? Is it identical internals ?
This video answers all my questions regarding the ps5 slim. Thanks for this video
Glad I could help

I have the OG Ps5 but Im a fan of the slim - even like the design more. But besided that, and the extra storage - I see no reason to change it
I just bought the PS5 Slim and it fits the my shelf, no less no more. Everything looks so perfect 😊
Should
I get the original but I gotta order on online bc they don’t got in stocking in stores only slims
These comments about “upgrading” or “i’ll wait for the pro” are really odd. Sony doesn’t expect current owners to get this smaller version, why would they? No one ever said it was an upgrade? Video game nerds are really odd looking at these comments. lol
It’s honestly confusing me why people a saying that they are going to “upgrade” to this new ps5, it’s not even an upgrade
@@Whatdoyouthink276its a revision. Like the og switch. I bought the slim cause my ps4 pro broke recently and i couldnt find the og ps5 ANYWHERE only the ps5 slim
No because you dont rebuy the same thing just its small box by numbers or furniture adjustment. Just keep the 1st one.
People could do whatever they want. If someone wants to rebuy something that's their business not yours.. worry about yourself not other people
Thumbs up,gotta support brah
How many usb ports does ps5 slim have. Does it have 3 like ps5 or 2?
never knew a ps5 slim came out. i knew sony would release one eventually. sticking with my og ps5
I love my PS5 slim. Overall, a more improved version of the OG model. If you don’t have a PS5 yet, you should definitely get the slim. By the way, is it just me, or, is the PS logo on the slim a little bit smaller than the OG logo, as well…? Just something to keep in mind, in case you’re thinking about pimping out your PS5 and overhauling it with a PS logo vinyl sticker to make it *pop*. You may have to re-cut the vinyl sticker to make it fit into the PS logo on the slim model.
Is it very lound? I had ps4 slim but had to upgrade to pro because the ps4 slim's fanes were so loud
@@linneah8211 Not loud at all. The fans don’t run all the time, and when they do, they’re super, super quiet. I have a hard time hearing them when the headphones are muted and all the ambient sound in the room is minimal. The PS5 was designed by Sony to run very quiet.
Did i understand correctly, but if you add another sdd inside, it won't read games directly, so i have to copy them into internal storage like from an external drive ???
I used the ssd in my OG Ps5 and use it in the slim, no transfers needed. Simply plug it in and play straightaway
What if you have the issue with the OG ps5 where it won’t connect to the ps store unless you disconnect from the internet and reconnect every time you boot up the console ?
That's a software issue, which should have been patched.
I don't know which to get, they both look good to me! The original looks better imo but awful horizontally, which I want to have it, and the slim looks so much better horizontally but idk if I want to commit to getting that one for that sole purpose. The new disc eject and extra storage, plus modularity is nice also.
Multiple choice questions belike
Then get the slim
Easiest way is to write what you like and dislike on a piece of paper for each one. Whichever has the most positive points, you go for that.
But you should look at reviews too.
I'd wait until there's a sale somewhere for the slim then buy it.
The slim has a better cpu so better graphics
@@OnmysheetI got my first ever playstation for black friday
the removable disc drive is playstations way of basically saying that they will eventually like xbox stop making disc all together so you can make it digital later on.
great video😀 Are you giving away the spiderman game voucher?
Great explanation. I sold my og ps5 and was thinking about which one to get. I like I can buy the digital version and later upgrade plus I hated how big the og version was
Do you need to re-download every disc game after you move the disc drive?
No as that's in the hard drive not the disc drive lol
@@w0lf9009 ok thank you
Upgrade??? There’s no upgrade. PS5 Pro next year will be the upgrade.
Its not coming out this year 💀
There's no colored panels available for purchase right now. Do you think they will make them?

thank you for the comparison
Is there a reason why the slim digital edition is no where to be seen?
I’m getting a ps5 for my bday this month but idk wich one to get so I watched this video and you helped me decide,thank you man!
Which one are you going to get?
Same I’m getting one in 3 months but not the slim one the normal one
Broo me to I’m trying to decide which one I went 😂😂
@Lemon099 my birthday was on the 7th of this month so I couldn't wait I wanted to treat myself to a ps5 so I got the og
@@lordbeerus5722 my birthday is on the 5th of February
I hear alot about external looks. But nothing about it Being any better other than the fact you can upgrade to disk later if it's to much to buy upfront and it has more storage. I like my ps5. I also just got a special stand for it that has heat dispersion and hyper cooling as well as two charging stations for two controllers.
Ok so am saveing for a ps5 but am confus which one to get the Digital or disk and what ps5 console i should get the slim or the og one ? 😅
Is the gaming performance / Fps same on ps5 slim as in the OG ps5?
Yes
No. PS5 Slim has way better internals than the OG PS5, means better cooling and better CPU, GPU, RAM and better and newer SSD. Slim never heats up, so PlayStation 5 Slim can adjust its GPU / CPU speed and it it overheats it throttles itself. The coolest temperature of PS5 OG is the hottest temperature of PS5 Slim. So PS5 OG already throttles and underclocks itself to stay cool. Meanwhile PS5 can play games for way longer periods of times at full speed before it heats up even further meaning more stable FPS
You don’t have to unscrew the one from the slim.
You can just easily remove it
Thumbs up Good information let me know every thing i needed to know . as a comparison between the two
Marc the geek made a video about moving external ssd's, it's possible, but there's probably some security check.
Why bother when Amazon has $60 internal 1TB ssd sticks on sale now.
Is the power consumption less in the new version?
it’s about the same and i seen another video it’s actually a bit more
Doing my homework before get my bf his christmas gift😂 im between the slim or regular but I like the looks of the slim one the most
How did it go?

No and that’s actually the correct way to use a ps5 vertically makes the fluid inside to spread out and ruining ps5

Heating sistem is bad on playstation slim so bigger version of the PS is much better
Problem was the chips was in hard to make as the pandemic
Thanks I just picked the slim up for my first console 🙏
I have the old PS5 I upgraded the heatsink I'm just wondering if it's worth it to upgrade to the slim
I have seen and used the original ps5, my cousin has one and I sometimes use it whenever I’m over. Right now I am currently debating on buying a PS5, the size is not my biggest concern but does the OG and slim have the same performance? Like basically is the slim better when it comes to performance compared to the OG?
The slim has the same performance stats the only difference is the size and the slim had a 1 TB storage instead of 825 GB
I believe if you're looking to your “first” PS5 then Slim isn't a bad choice 🤷🏾♂️
Really? Because mine comes tomorrow and its my first but everyone in the comments is saying its bad🫠
@@Kgaming1805 I mean true but I've decided to get The OG PS5 because soon the mass production of them is going to stop soon! But either way they all work the same and worth it no matter what especially if you a gamer! 👍🏾
make sure you get a heatsink for your 1tb extra ssd it is recommended to have it last longer and not crash while gaming

Hey, thank you, wonderful video. I got a question: Can a psvr work on the ps5 slim ?
Yep works the same as the old one..
@KAPMOD thanks ,what do you mean by the ellipses tho
PS5 slim looks like it’s 6 month pregnant. Not worth it. Still loving my PS5 (Digital Version) so far, zero complaints. I’m waiting for the PS6 to come out.
Slim looks better than the normal PS5. Also the disc drive is removable so it doesnt look "pregnant" when its digital, you use a digital edition anyway so why are you complaining?
You also forgot to mention that this is the PS5 going forward. They said its not called the PS5slim. The original PS5 design is discontinued.
rip
exactly its not a slim, but a revision of the same design
Reminds me of the first few iterations of the xbox 360 before the skim
I still have the ps4 and I’m about to buy a ps5 now. Do I just go with the regular one or slim one
Everything I needed to know, thank you.
Hello. I´ve bught the old larger PS5 recently, but I also paid some extra money to be able to return it in up to 60 days. So if choose so, I can return my PS5 larger version till half of January and get the base of my money back. My question is, should I do it and get the PS5 slim version or keep the bigger one? My first concern is: is the slimmer version still stable in terms of heating? Is the fan louder? It´s true it also is smaller and has bigger HDD. So my second question is, if I keep the big one, can I potentionaly buy bigger SSD HDD and put it in my larger PS5 instead of the original 825GB HDD? Thank you very much for your answers.. and great video here btw. :)
I think keeping the Og/Phat one and buying an M.2 ssd is the best bet. Ps5 Slim and Og has the same chip but the Og has a little bit of advantage at cooling since it has vent grills, bigger fan, bigger airflow and bigger heatsink.
Man love your work
Keep going
God bless you❤
Could i be able to use my extra strage cartridge from my ps4 any way possible on the ps5 slim ? Or is it not compatible
It should work
Nice to know it has better wifi. My OG launch day PS5 unfortunately went to Playstation heaven recently so I'm thinking of picking this up.
I'm in love with my new slim.
Hope you use protection
U do? Vs og
Never had original cus I'm not a fan of big size. That's why I bought a slim.@@skorpyo331
How is a cheaper contructed version of the same hardware an upgrade?
Can i have a cooling station, stand with controller charging for ps5 slim??
Just a question, as somebody who doesn’t own a ps5 what do yall recommend
I own both consoles, maybe I can help you, unless you bought one already.
Let's start first, specs. Both have the same hardware, that means they have the same graphics, resolution, performance, load speeds and basically everything. No upgraded console from both systems, one is just like the other one.
Storage - Mainly the slim has a extra 175gb of free space, here is the whole storage in total.
1tb - Slim
825gb - Phat
Size and design - Again, the Slim takes the size since it's smaller while design is just preference. I'll come back to this section later.
Cooling System - Both have the same APU chip ( 6nm chip) which means both consoles would produce the same heat, only thing... You're putting that same heat in a smaller case with smaller heat dissipation materials, plus with smaller fan, heatsink and airflow? That's clearly a sign of problem with smaller size (not a problem though if the Slim's APU chip is more efficient but it isn't) Phat takes the category here. Watch @Mc Kuc, he will explain the whole noise thing.
Material Build Quality - This is the 2nd part of the design category, the Phat takes this because Gloss gets ruined easily. Wouldn't want to see your console looking like it had been sitting there for ages.
Stand - Do I really need to explain this? The Slim gives you a cheap plastic little legs that is unstable and is only for horizontal ( You have to pay 30$ if you want the vertical stand but that thing is really unstable too as in was proven by Austin Evans.) The Phat has a free multipurpose stand and is stable too.
Best at keeping dusts away - Phat because it has these vent grills from the top which prevents dust from coming through while the Slim doesn't.
Electricity uses - Both since they have the same 6 nm chip, which means same power would be use.
In short, buy whatever is cheaper. Hope I can help you👍
I gotta say, my launch ps5 feels so much more premium compared to this one.. its always the case with all gen playstations.. look at the launch ps3 compared to the revisions, it was soooo much better and made better too
Ya but bigger and bulky.
@@DragonPupEclipsenot rlly slim has 125 more gb so the slim is a better choice if you don’t have a ps5
The original ps3 and ps4 all died much faster compared to their later counterparts, the slim ps3 is what you would most see still working today, same for ps4.
Hey this is exactly what i was waiting for before upgrading, i got my ps5 slim bundle 3 days ago and it looks amazing and feels amazing.
