Sony doesn't want you to see THIS PS5... 💀

- The DIGITAL version of the PS5 Slim was finally available recently... so I bought it. And man oh man is it a disappointment for $450. It feels like it should be a knock-off console.

Forgot to do it in the video, but I did take the fan out of this console and it’s slightly different than the fan in the regular ps5 slim 🧐
Appears to basically be the same design, but probably manufactured by someone different. Doesn’t really matter, but interesting to note
@@jrob0021what time does the first episode of the h haul come out?
@@jrob0021 I recall the original launch PS5 had two or three different fans. One was quieter. So I wonder if it's the same thing here?
@@jrob0021 Had nothing but issues with ps4 slims. My ps4 vanilla was perfect. Glad I got the vanilla ps5. One thing I learned about sony, with the slim models theyll use cheaper parts but charge same price. Itll be interesting if they try to beef up these slim models to call them pro or use original models.
Maybe because u can go from digital to non digital with the new slim and with the old digital it’s stuck at digital so maybe 50 dollar convenience charge instead of having to buy a whole other console
I think it's great that Sony is making digital only more expensive and less attractive. I hope we keep physical games as long as possible.
Well it's weird because, other than the disc vs digital ps5 situation, it seems that everyone is turning more towards digital. They even include digital games with the disc version. So idk, it seems like the have 1 foot in physical land and 1 foot in digital land
@@jrob0021
Nothing is turning digital. The moment the floppy is out its game over for the industry.
next gen will come digital only,im sure of it,80% of the buyers of games are digital now.
nah there's an ulterior motive for sure
@@ps4games164I hope you’re right but you’re probably not. Many people prefer digital and it’s honestly sad
Its crazy to me that they didnt bundle the digital only console with the same games.
Agreed
Who cares
@@benjirame
nah, not to me. I didn't want either those 2 games. I want it cheaper
Anyone who doesn’t have a ps5 yet, try to find a good mint condition physical version or just buy the physical version slim model. Avoid the digital at all cost
Why?
@@jack_3.5mm - Because its over priced and forces you to buy more expensive digital content and never ever have the possibility of using a second hand disc you see in a thrift store.
@@buggerlugz6753 digital games aren't overpriced, sometimes they are even cheaper than CDs.
I can't remember when I bought a game on the CD last time, especially 2nd hand. Can't see the point of changing disc every time I want to play different game.
@@buggerlugz6753I have a ps4 slim right now and every game I have got is on ps store 😂 because I want it straight away and I’m too lazy to go the store
@@jack_3.5mm is not about overpriced games is the fact that digital cost much more to install the disc drive
It isn’t worth the price. The best option is physical version unless you plan on just playing one or two games than I guess digital is enough.
I think what they’re doing is a classic retail move to have an option that’s technically available, but is mostly just there to make the step up to the next thing look like a really good value. The issue with this stance is that because the best value is the disc edition it goes against the all digital future game console manufacturers want.
I kinda like this approach so that everybody goes disk edition, i want physical games to stay forever, when games goes all digital, I will pirate them all.
@@jadepaulsagaral180 good luck with that )
I went fat digital ps5 to save $100. with that money you can get a 2tb nvme drive and upgrade the total storage to like 2.8 tb. I'm mainly a pc gamer and its bizarre to me why console gamers are so stubborn to stick with ancient way of buying physical games. by 2005 pcs went all digital for games and never looked back and noone complained. before steam people had to manually update their games noone misses that.@@jadepaulsagaral180
This is exactly what it is. Apple are kings at this. Just go in their website and look at their pricing for their various models of the same product. For just a little extra you can get more storage, but then for a little more than that you can get a bit more RAM, and for a bit more you can get a better screen, etc.
The whole point is to slowly walk the consumer up a ladder because for just a little bit more you can get an upgrade. Before you know if you’re already looking at a model that’s 1 or 2 steps up from where you originally wanted to start.
It’s extremely effective
No, they know that most people will buy the cheapest option. I know this is not any concrete evidence but where I live, most retails outlets have run out of digital only option while the disc version is still available and you can just walk in and buy 1 (it’s exactly what I did and that was during the holiday season too!). So most people here are obviously going for the cheapest option even though the price difference between the digital only and the disc version is 100€. Also the shelf space for physical games at electronics retailers is becoming smaller and smaller with time. It really sucks.
Physical games are dying sadly and if not next generation, the one after that will definitely be fully digital.
The more I see of these slims the happier I am I bought the original PS5.
I got my I gusse ud say now fat ps5 like 6 months agao im glad I didn't wait any longer lmao for me I love the buklyness lol
I got one OG because i wanted to escape the new. My 4 Pro hit the bell.
@@Carguy-ty6miit still looks great the only reason I would say to get that one is if you move your ps5 a lot or you don’t have enough room for the og one
Same I'll stick with my GOW Ragnarok edition lol
@@saintofthemosthigh82it's just a normal ps5 with a copy of GOW
Dude, the horizontal is unstable because it is meant to be untouched since you don't need to load and unload discs from the console. Everything is digitally accessed. SMH
I was thinking the same thing. Seems like a silly thing to be complaining about since you're not going to be moving the console.
Exactly people acting like they gotta go up to it and give it a couple rocks before they play 😂😂😂
@@drewspencer1015 he must live where there are earthquakes 😂
@@drewspencer1015that made me laugh reading my phone in bed picturing it
So plugging in controller to charge it?
I wouldn't want to have the digital slim standing upright without an additional stand. It seems as if it will fall if someone accidentally touched it. Having to pay extra money for it is a shame, especially since it is already more expensive compared to the regular digital.
who accidentally touches consoles lol, maybe if you have kids or putting a disc in but yeah nobody touches that thing ever.
You will never know, what if you are about to fall and you lose balance and you happened to choose your digital PlayStation five there is not a foot on the horizon foot on what so it falls over and falls off the table TV table or what the hell where do you have a test when it falls down you fall on the floor broken what so it looks more precarious without the foot that is made for it but I am not sitting here standing upright at all because the same problem has been seen as it was with the first model it is original PlayStation 5 it came in 2020 with the liquid metal and it disappears away from the CPU where it has to remove the heat from the CB there so what then when it is the new model PlayStation five it is the same all the liquid metal it is down at one end what I want to hear what other people think about that problem because someone has made it a problem all the liquid metal is one end of the cooler or I can't remember exactly what it's called where on the process is it a problem or not I can't answer that but you can the wise head pointed out to start with for sure.
Happened to me after a month .my gma knocked it over off table and ripped the hdmi out the PlayStation and then the PlayStation landed on my Mac computer and broke the screen on the computer glass as well.cant make this up easy 1000.00$ accident
@@sleepe8050Sigh.......She's annoyed me, how do you do that? Don't people open their eyes anymore?
More expensive ??? I got the spider man one for only $399
When it doesn't make sense...it makes dollars.
Wow that’s so true what the…
I absolutely love how my PS5 performs. I absolutely detest how it looks.
I like the look of the ps5 slim especially with black plates
Sony knocked it out of the park with the PS4 design. The PS5 is just hideous AND impractical. I really don’t know what they were thinking.
Right? With my PS4 Slim, I could wrap it in a hoodie and chuck it in my backpack, which was really nice for traveling, which I do alot of. It fit perfectly.
Can't do that with the 5. Guess Sony forgot people take their consoles to friends houses and stuff.
The PS5 Slim is one of the most beautiful consoles imo
They know what they were think stop complaining
What doesn't make sense about the digital not coming with a game, is that the game you get is already a download code anyways...
I know a lot of people including myself that got the PS5 slim without the disc drive
I think Sony upped the digital price because without an included game it makes the disc version pointless from a pricing perspective. But then that begs the question, why even bother doing a digital version. They should have just gave you an extra plate if you wanted to remove the disc yourself. It’s truly a blunder.
Fr, I still don't know if I want to get the digital or not cus I hate the disc drives, but I might get the disc and take of the drive and put a digital plate on it, If that works
@@hesklairvoyanthey bro its been 2 months what did you decide doing?
@@7m.Exilio i got the mw3 bundle 😂 jus waiting 4 sum plates for the slim to come out
Why is it 50$ more? Why do they not understand the US market
Because that’s not their Focus they’re trying to sell more disc units so you have a higher chance of paying more upfront because people who want a digital version want a digital version the disc drive is an ADD-ON
Because it’s Sony
@@SpicyWheatPepper So they release a pointless console to try make you buy the other version lmao that is petty. Look like I won't buy one at all now those stand things are awful and the design is ugly. I'll just wait for the exclusives to come to PC.
They aren’t even selling the digital yet i dont think
@@Kizzster that’s why I only use PC, and the exclusives comes to PC…
eventually
This console will never not look awful
No offense but I feel like you're making this more difficult than it actually is. I'm not even that big of a fan of the ps5 but all this just sounds like you're nitpicking 😂
The digital Slim looks GREAT 👍🏿! I got the original digital model so I'm fine with what I got! But for new owners and after the price goes down it's definitely a buy. Only thing I agree is the nice stand should have came in the box instead of the plastic clips.
How do you like the digital only?
The biggest advantage of disc version is the ability to buy second hand games for cheap! Digital prices too high and their deals aren't as good as steam
the ps store is an absolute joke. selling 10 yo games for full price
The problem is it's not a XBOX Series X
😂
Microsoft has been quiet recently. Cant wait for them to release their cylinder xbox
In the UK the digital PS5 Slim is the same as the original digital PS5 (~380 quid). It is also ~90 quid cheaper than the disc drive version. Not sure why it is such a rip off in other countries though.
Removing the USB A from the front takes away from so many accessories like headsets, controllers, etc.
I wonder if a USB-A to USB-C adapter would work.
@@killerkevin27 probably but that's another thing you have to buy to have the original function of the system. Same as the included stand of the og model. It's honestly crazy how Sony tries to nickel and dimr people.
@@deiradinnI’ve read that the USB-A port in the front is really meant for charging. You can use other accessories but it’s not recommended. And I think the lightning bolt symbol that’s right over the port signifies that.
Why can’t you just plug it into the back? Also just use USB C to USB C cable to charge your dualsense
@@kalulofer4638 it's perfectly fine in the front for usb-sticks and headset usb sticks. it's a miss usb a is still commonly used.
Thanks for the review. does the digital disk area cover fit on the regular after removing the disk? I'm wondering if I buy the regular. Can I buy a cover and make it work as digital and install the disk only when needed?
I'm sure Sony has a plan. Since it wasn't advertised I'm guessing it was a very last minute decision to put out a slightly smaller ps5 for those of us waiting for the 5slim. I'm quite happy with my 4pro and a large backlog of games to keep me busy until a true 5slim or 5pro come out. Whichever!
This IS the slim though, is it not?
These videos about the Slim models really make me glad I bought the original.
And to anyone wanting to buy a PS5, there are retailers with the fat models still in stock. GameStop even has them for $450.
I bought a slim one last week and decided to return it and got the fat model instead yesterday. I'm glad I did.
@@CupcakeKitten305OG is wayy better
I brought the slim, no problems or complaints from me!!
I got one at GameStop today . new phat ps5 blue ray version for $450
I have a PS5 digital and I have no problems 🤷🏾♂️
this seems to be a trend for sony, they have an amazing console like the ps2, and the ps3 kinda comes out a bit sketchy, so they learn from it, and ps4 is a stellar smash hit, ps5 comes out, and they feel they don't have to try hard enough. my question is, when will sony fans get tired of sony treating them like sub par gamers.
The PS5 is a good console.
The ps5 is lit, Quit crying
Any chance you can test if the original ps5 stand can work horizontally with the ps5 slim that comes equipped with the physical disc drive?
Like literally I feel as though yall are never happy with anything a company does legit feel like some CZcams are only on here to complain at stuff
To be honest I thought the original ps5 would be 300 and the slim 350 for adding the disc drive. I'll just stick with the fat ps5 for now.
“Stick with the fat ps5” for the hundredth time this is for NEW BUYERS not an UPGRADE
I am sticking with my fat ps5 until ps6 lol 😂
@@cappy699Why would a new buyer pay more for this when a base PS5 disc/digital is cheaper atm?
@@cappy699He meant just go with the fat PS5 most likely. Because yeah, no reason to buy any slim console really if you own the original, except the 360 due to reliability issues
Tbh I though the new ps5 would be 300 to 350
30% smaller, 30% more expensive (I know it's not actually 30% more expensive)
That's What The Price Should've Been Not $500 😠😩😒
Why Would you buy a Stand when it's all over the Internet that you need to keep it Horizontal for the Liquid Metal running to one side causing it to Fail
Jacob I just bought a ps5 slim and my games keep crashing after like 5 minutes. What do I do?
Im glad I recently got the (slightly) less ugly OG PS5 before they are replaced with the slims.
The reason has nothing to do with digital vs disc version but more likely 2 consoles with 2 different fan models (Nidec VS NMB or Foxconn) + margin of error.
I got my PS5 Slim Digital for $399 with Spider-Man 2 bundled with it. Price must’ve went down.
You don’t understand Sonys logic yet? They know their fanbase will pay for anything they put out, just like Nintendo does
If you buy the disc drive add on, it comes with longer stands.
I already have a PS5 console myself too, but the PS5 that I have though is the original model and it's also the one with the built-in disc drive for playing physical games on the discs which I personally still prefer.
He really bought a brand new console and questioned if the fan is working 😂💀
I’m still on ps4 bec I wasn’t paying triple to a reseller. Was gonna get a slim this week but I might wait on the pro now in 2024. How’s the disc version sit horizontally? I don’t want my system vertical bec I heard problems with leaks into the system.
This entire situation is so bizarre. I think it's indicative of the obvious issues going on internally at Sony and PlayStation. I think management is a mess there and it's really sad to see. Hopefully it improves.
Explain the problem with the ps5 slim
Tbh i think there problems cant hold a candle too the people defend there every move 😅
Fr these decisions are just really just bizzzare, I'm not even angry just annoyed and confused
I miss the PS4 days when everything was all about the consumer. Now everything they do just feels very anti consumer
@@hunnerman5976nothing wrong with the PS5 system itself but everything around it just doesn't make sense
You are first on CZcams who showed us Horizontal position of PS5 Digital Slim, thanks 🙏🌹
$450 is still too much...
I think they made the digital more money because you don't have to go to the store or wait for your amazon package to arrive and then putting in the disc and having to repair the disc or buy new ones once the discs don't work or they get scratched
Not a fan of this newer PS5. Got my digital edition back in February 2021 no regrets at all. This is a ripoff with the newer digital edition for $50 more? And also a vertical stand for $30 extra not worth it to me. I still have my old stand and proud of it. Keep up the great work with your console videos.
What made you get the digital edition? Were there EVER a time you wish you have gotten the disc edition instead? I asked because I’m inclined to get the digital edition as idc for 4k dvd nor physical games.
It’s more storage on newer digital
@@edgaryzen4925 Wherever you shop it is very hard to find some games “In Stock”. The games I play can be downloaded 3-5 day early before retail release. I used to buy games when stores would have midnight launches. When you brought the game it would take about 20-30 minutes to simply update the game. whenever you pre-order a game it’s already loaded for you with updates. Last but not least the only big box stores you can buy video games are GameStop,Best Buy, Walmart & Target.
Should have got a PC
@@Yvng_remixer impossible at $200 price point
It makes me envy seeing people buying multiple gadgets. The same gadgets for reviews. Buying just a unit for myself is hard.
Work more??
The reviewer is at work though 😂
Seems like a skill issue…
It’s ad revenue.
The consoles bundled with games are a limited (while supplies last) holiday release. These have been very common in the past.
I do think they should have included a "Digital Download" for a new game with the digital version to match the disc bundle. That would have been cheap for them to do so as well.
I don't even understand why people prefer digital only. I bought Cyberpunk 2077 a few months ago, brand new, for 7 bucks on Amazon. Games are so much cheaper when you don't buy them from Sony. But whatever, I guess I can understand that people will happily pay more for convenience. But at the end, yea, this makes no sense at all with how they are pricing these. I can't even begin to understand that.
Cause those people you referred are simply different and the minority.
Their Use case is different too. That’s like saying why our classmate or cousin like to be quiet for hours during gatherings while we don’t? That how life partly works.
My use case: I was gonna get the OG digital edition mainly for the price, having this as a passive hobby, and don’t care for physical disc drive but saw Target had the OG PS5 disc edition for lesser $ so I’m getting that. I only play 1-3 games per year, under 6 hours of gaming session per month anyways.
PS5 digital slim owner here. It looks great. Fits in my space great. Plays great. Has 175 additional gigabytes memory than the original digital. No complaints from me. This video wasted most of the time unboxing the system and comparing the stands…useless time I won’t get back.
is it stable on your setup? Do the stands work horizontal?
@@chocolatewheelchair Yes.
This guy was wrong turn the stands around and its fine 🙂 mine is just perfect no issues. And mine is digital so no need to even touch the console 😂
@@ooPink41 brother it’s true. I got the digital one! You do not have to touch the console, 100% correct. I even put a tiny pad under the left front side just in case, did you sign up for psn premium? What have you been playing?
Any heating issues?
They should have inlcuded a free game with the diskless verison. I know some people do not care for the disc. But the price is wrong for this console.
Got mine for 389, not complaining!!
@@CristanioPeweyyy that's a great price! Can't be mad at that. Don't you think they could have priced it differently?
When can we buy the side plate in case we want to remove the disc drive.
What’s is the base firmware on ps5 slim digital edition.
6:50 so I've always heard people say it's bad to stand them vertically due to the liquid metal but don't know for sure. What do you think?
That was debunked ages ago
Its still an issue, since the only thing stopping liquid metal from spilling into your ps5 is a sponge...which it will inevitably fail, just leave it horizontally
THAT WAS FALSE IT WAS MADE UPPP 😅
That’s Fake news it’s perfectly fine leaving it in vertical position plus it’s marketed that way it’s not an issue unless you had taken it apart and didn’t do a good job putting it back together
I think it's definitely a big issue as liquid metal is literal liquid so it's not gonna stay spread perfectly across the IHS if you're keeping it vertical or if you shake the console or drop it. I think over a few more years this will become a bigger issue and we'll see a lot of people that use the vertical orientation will start to notice their consoles overheating from liquid moving or spillage.
I think the whole thing is that perhaps Sony is going more towards favoring physical media where Microsoft seems to really be focusing on their Gamepass service.
It seems like the digital versus physical pricing is a deliberate choice to make the physical media more appealing than digital. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t Sony own the patent for Blu Ray discs? Or at least they were instrumental in pushing Blu Rays to the general public via the PS3.
To me it makes sense that they have more of a financial incentive to push physical media because they are getting a cut from the disc drives and the actual discs themselves. So they aren’t feeling as much of a push to go digital as Microsoft may be. Also let’s not forget that part of what put Sony over Microsoft the past couple generations is Microsoft’s push to go all digital. Sony absolutely killed Microsoft at the PS4 reveal simply by saying “Yes, our console will have physical discs still”.
As a collector myself, I’m 100% in favor of keeping physical media around and having all digital as an option for those who want it. We’ve all seen how (Sony included) media is being removed from people who have paid for it due to licensing expirations and whatnot.
As for people who say the slim is a “scam” or to address the point of the slim being a “stealth” release. I wouldn’t expect Sony to do a big marketing campaign for what is just a model refresh and not an actual “Pro” model release. It just doesn’t make financial sense because then you’d have people complaining that it’s not an upgrade after seeing all of the advertising around it. (Even though it comes with more storage than the original model out of the box)
I think it’s a bit silly to call it a scam. I’m one of the people who deliberately waited for a “slim” model because I didn’t like the size of the PS5. I’ve got 7 or 8 game consoles on my home entertainment center. I didn’t want to sacrifice a ton of space for one single console.
I’ve since bought a slim and I personally like the split plate design (though I would’ve highly preferred matte plates instead of gloss). The console is significantly smaller than the original even if it’s still pretty bulky compared to the other consoles in my living room. Now I get to enjoy all my Ps5 and PS4 stuff on one console which is nice.
Overall I think it’s a great console and a good deal for people like me who held off. Getting the physical version, with Spiderman 2 for free and also getting some of my PS4 versions of my games upgraded to the Ps5 version for free is ALOT of value for me since I never upgraded to a PS4 pro. God of War looks REALLY good on the PS5 and it runs great too.
Obviously if you’ve got the OG model there isn’t really much in the slim model that provides value. (Unless you REALLY care about the space the original takes up). So it’s a bit silly for people to say Sony is money grabbing with the refresh of the console, especially seeing as they’ve done it with literally every single console generation they’ve put out. It’s pretty much expected that they’ll do a console refresh at some point. Though I’m a bit skeptical about the possibility of a “Pro” model given that the move to 4k as standard has essentially already happened at this point where as the PS4 was the “middle man” of the swap over. That obviously necessitated a pro model mid console generation. But we shall see if we do get a pro model
I’m happy with my purchase and it looks great on my home entertainment center alongside all of my other consoles.
Thank you for doing this, i got the original digital at launch and wondered about this. This convinced me if i am replacing to just save the extra $50 and just go for the disc version
Was it still running hotter after you did the update?
Man, Sony's really hurting for money, huh?
At this point Sony making our brain cells deplete 💀
The console is not going to rock back in 4:50 if you don't touch it if you keep touching it's going to rock back you're not pulling on any chords to make it right back and forth
Yeah exactly especially downstairs. Not like 2.0 magnitude earthquakes happening every minute. OP was just nitpicking more than needed to be.
Beside there workaround to keep it stable, even for free.
I would consider getting the digital ps5 slim, it would be a nice if it was
450$ (the original price of the playstation which Sony has offered)
The fact that the PS5 slim costs over 650$ in my country is insane
Or wait another year for PS5 slim price drop which i don't have a patient im done waiting for 3 years
Yes hopefully I'll get the regular ps5 next month, I have saved the half of the money and im waiting for my dad to help me to buy it
Respect
Got mine £389 in the UK
@@CristanioPeweyyy good for you
Have Fun
Imo i totally disagree, the longer the induatry givea us an option for physical the better.
Once the industry fully goes digital im out, either will go retrogaming or leave altogether, a full digital industry will take so much choice out of the equation for consumers, and possibly coukd bring about new very important concerns regarding server life and access to games you own indefinitely.
Keep your gaming library and preserve it. Don’t even resell it. DIGITAL Modern video games system is factually inevitable.
I don’t have a ps5 yet but do u think i should get the slim one now or wait for pro I wanted to get the fat one but ran out of stock if I get the slim I will get the one with a disk idk about this one people are saying it overheats i don’t really care about any of the features like removing the disk drive and all of that I just wanna get a ps5 if fat one was in stock I would get it but it’s not
i bought the digital slim cuz one of my friends had a membership that gave him $100 off so I don't regret my purchase. Its coming tomorrow but the thumbnail of this vid scared me shitless
Nice easter egg shirt Jacob 😄👍🏻 the Hampton haul 🙌🏻
👀
I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed that as well glad I'm not the only one who picked it up
i like it. they should just make a disc drive less bulky. i mean if you think of ps4 slim and how small it is I think its possible, unless sony doesnt really care anyway.
The ps4s drive was in the middle of the console. It’s Sonys fault for making the ps5 design so ridiculous. They would need to do a complete redesign like with the ps3 super slim to have a form factor competitive with Xbox
welp, it is what it is I guess@@cameron2900x
@@cameron2900xyup. It look goofy and an ugly spaceship lol.
I’m glad they tried something different but it’s really not that hard to fit the disc drive in the middle of the console.
Still looks massive compared to a xbox series s
I like how thin it’s going to be in 2026😂
It’s the disc version that looks like the knock off to me, it still looks like it was designed as a digital console first, as the disc version sacrifices symmetry. Idk how you gone say the digital looks like the knock off.
If you watch the video you’ll know why it seems like a knock off lol
My guess is Sony is probably trying to sell through a good chunk of their current physical copies before making the price of the digital lower so that they don’t take as much of a loss on the new physical copy games currently out in circulation still or prepping to be. As they slow down on physical game production it’d be more ideal for them to lower the price of the digital console tho.
Dude it's the same console and u have 2 options,disk drive version if u play games on disk and disk-less version if u don't... that's all there is to it
Does the original stand on the fat system work with the slim disc and slim digital?
If you look at the included adapter on the new vertical stand, you’ll see it’s noticeably wider. It probably won’t.
Do you normally expect something to be cheaper when bought seperately?
I totally agree that it should be significantly less than just $50 less, thats for sure. But that doesn't answer my question though lol. I normally expect something to be cheaper when it's a bundle as compared to bought seperately, but maybe thats just me tho, idk.
Really strange move with these revisions by Sony. In the past I was a bit envious of the "Slim" models when I was growing up. Sony made the PS2 slim and PS3 slim way sleeker and better in terms of size and kept the same functionality. The fact the stand is way worse and the Digital version is very expensive despite the cost-cutting measures is weird to me. This is the first time I'm happy that I got a "Fat" PS5 because the stand is higher quality and it's more stable as a result sitting in my TV stand.
Ps2 slim was known for malfunctioning more than the original Ps2.
The fat PS3 was the best looking PS3
matte black > gloss black@@siloPIRATE
The Original 1100 version of The PlayStation 5 is The Best
@@leighbennett1961no denying that the fat PS3 is absolutely gorgeous. And it has that legendary spider-man font.
Getting the disc drive separately being more expensive doesn't surprise me.
Just look at any console bundled with a new game.
It's usually slightly cheaper than getting a console and the game separately.
What I'm bummed about is that none of them are cheaper than the standard fat version.
I get that the guts of this thing is probably not much cheaper to produce, if at all,
but releasing a revised model, that's visually very different and it actually costing more than the
regular one (that's being discontinued) won't instill much confidence in the consumer.
the little plastic stands there are 2 ways to put them in one way. for having a disk player and a different way if you do not have a disk player you just turn them around
450$ for the digital and another 80$ for the disc drive 😭💀 just buy the disc version
Exactly 😂😂😂
Unboxing my series x was such a cool experience… Sony’s packaging is so sad looking
He said hole 🕳️… then he said stick it in… huhuhuhu huhuhu hu

They should of just threw the stand in at that price.
Great video! Thanks for your analysis! It didnt make much sense to me either, but what do we, the consumers, know anyway? 😅 Lol smh. Also, that janky stand on the slim digital is an insult, and looks kinda bad on Sony. Maybe it was rushed?
Mine doesnt wobble when its flat. You sure youve put the little plastic things in properly? Also im from the uk and my slim was £360.
Am I time lapsing. This Joker already did an unboxing. If you see him refirming walk away
still love how they have the balls to market 8k on their boxes
I dont like either playstations disc drive, but with the og digital being discontinued i mjght have to buy a slim...does anyone know if u can take off the disc drive on the slim and put a different plate on it to make it digital???
Good question
Looks like it stands vertically just fine without the 30 dollar stand. The horizontal position looks wobbly
I'm so happy I got my kids an Xbox Series X with a free game pass for a year. At around the same price of this PS5.
I would like to know the difference between the fat 3rd gen disk ps5 and new slim ps5 which has detachable disk drive. Like the storage, idle and gaming wattage usage, and thermal heat( which you showed, but wanted to know how small doest it went in new ps5), performance etc. Thanks
Austin Evan’s has a great video about this as does Linus tech tips, but essentially it’s the same across the board. This new “slim” model is just that, slim.
Don’t you also have to buy a new bottom cover if you want a disk drive on your digital?
It should come with the cover if you buy the disc drive (I would think). I don’t know 100% because I haven’t purchased one myself
@@jrob0021 Other video's show it comes a cover for the disc drive.
Im confused rn cause this ps5 slim when it first was announced was meant to replace the new ps5 and it wasnt referred to as slim now on somy website they still got the fat ps5 and then now this current ps5 is called the slim now so are both consoles gonna be sold or am i missing something
When the stock of the fat one runs out the slim will be the standard
You get more internal storage than the Original PS5 (1TB vs 825GB)...That is why they up the price
Actually 750GB Vs 650GB
you forgot to test is it gets colder with the disc drive attached LOL
They tried making a console that looked as sleek and iconic as the 360 and they failed. Big time!
The disc drive might be absorbing more heat.
It does I had the disc one and everytime I played a game it will heat up and start to just turn off
“Muh wobble”
When they had the blog post about the new model, they had the information for both of the slim consoles on there, along with the info that you can buy the drive separately to add to the digital console if you decide you want physical games.
So 30$ more for a stand or 50$ more for a disc drive which is a better stand. Sony is really the 🤡 right now.
Haha THATS a good point
I picked up a stand simply because my old stand traps dust and blocks air flow
Ive been waiting for the new slim digital to drop because i just thought the disc version looked so bad with that huge bulge. But the instability of it when horizontal is just mind blowing. Whoever designed these new consoles should be fired immediately. Ive been waiting 3 years to buy a PS5. Now im just waiting another year for the PS5 Pro. 🤷♂️
The digital ps5 makes alot of sense. If you get the disk drive version and your disk drive breaks, your system will be obsolete until you get the disk drive replaced. Even the digital games won't work with a broken disk drive BUT if you have the " NO DISK DRIVE" you'll never have to worry about the disk drive breaking. Makes complete sense.
I smell planned obsolescence in the making. Drives failing after X amount of hours. No other console or variation is pushing this agenda other than PS5 slim.
I like how it stands vertical just fine without a stand.
Foot print is very narrow could topple??
