In reality. But I distinctly remember Cerney saying they specifically chose it for some technical aspect(ie performance).

Back then PCI-E 4.0 controllers were nowhere good and relieable as today, so they've went with a bit smaller, but more robust configuration on motherboard.

I don't like the desing, but hardware-wise it's a pretty neat refresh. Two USB-C ports on front is a nice upgrade for VR owners too.

Hey you have a source? I've googled "PS5 glued on heatsink" and I'm not finding anything solid.

There was topic here few days ago and it looked like that.
I am very bummed out I never stocked on original fat ps5 models... Imagine the treasure which original fat ps3 would be right now new in box

 

[Saber]

Dude. It’s a goddamn PS5 slim. Cmon. Don’t be pedantic. I’m not impressed he knew 1 production detail

A video-game with a separate buyable disc drive is not something you count as the typical "just Slim versions" though.

 

[MrTired]

I still doubt a Pro will be coming.
We've had leaks of physical Slims for a while, but nothing on a Pro at all.

Tom Henderson leaked the information about Playstation Portable, about this Slim. What are the chances he's wrong about the Pro when he's been right about everything else.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

We just talked about the disk drive lol. I’m not following along? You just repeated yourself. Yes 1 production detail of the PS5 slim

Also we’re talking about this model announced today not some earbuds or a controller. You look like a clown cheerleading for some “insider” you don’t know personally. And all your counters here are just empty

Ok then we are done here

 

[LordOfChaos]

The clear plastic bit helping hold it in horizontal mode is interesting. I hope the stand is overall much improved and less flimsy.

 

[arkhamguy123]

Ok then we are done here

Thanks for telling me you have nothing!

 

[Thirty7ven]

Let’s see that PS5 pro know what I’m sayin

 

[LordOfChaos]

The existence of a PS5 slim implies that I now own a PS5 THICC

 

[Ronin_7]

Wow that's ugly

I wish Sony started doing pretty consoles, Ps4 Slim was marvelous but this one is ugly as fuck.

 

[peish]

Its why I think the PS5 Pro will come in at least at $599

It will. Inflation and all.

There is no Series XX to compete with either. It is for the hardest of corest PS fans. But a November 2024 launch is leaving it real late!

 

[ReBurn]

Hey you have a source? I've googled "PS5 glued on heatsink" and I'm not finding anything solid.

Clickbait - Keeping your PS5 vertical might cause some issues, as reported by some users, with specific faults. Sometimes.

Imagine having such a channel tho. Tough beard avatar..Xbox and green as If you're grooming 9 year old xbox fans... I just... cant type... it's to much.. is this real...

[Roufianos]

Still absolutely hideous, hopefully the Pro is a different design altogether

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I still doubt a Pro will be coming.
We've had leaks of physical Slims for a while, but nothing on a Pro at all.

Why would we have leaks? The Pro isn't rumored to come out until next year. The Slim wasn't anywhere near leaking at this time last year.

 

[Monokrom]

 

[Twinblade]

I'll keep my original digital ps5 with 5tb of hard drive. Thanks.

 

[Drizzlehell]

So now it will look even more like a modem, lol.

Seriously, it's a fine console but its design (particularly the shape) has got to be the worst one in PS history. Even the PS4 was better, and that one looked like a giant pencil eraser.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Probably the most ho-hum version of their smaller consoles I've seen yet IMO. I really liked all the previous ones.

It's wild that we're already at this point this generation.

Not only that, but the amount of next gen only Sony releases is tiny.

 

[rofif]

Wow that's ugly

I wish Sony started doing pretty consoles, Ps4 Slim was marvelous but this one is ugly as fuck.

ps4 slim was fantastic, small and pretty quiet.
MANY TIMES have I chucked that bitch in my backpack and went to a buddy

 

[Moonjt9]

Seems kinda expensive. And no vertical stand included? Serious Apple energy right there.

 

[Spyxos]

Looks a lot better.

 

[NeonDelta]

I'm more interested in that chrome stand and how it's going to work horizontal.

It doesn’t. It’s vertical only. The horizontal “stand” is a small kickstand

 

[MiguelItUp]

Not only that, but the amount of next gen only Sony releases is tiny.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was getting at with that last comment. I feel like with every previous generation when we've hit this point there's a ton of Sony releases before it. This gen, not so much, at all. Feels so weird to be at this point in the generation already, and with so few titles.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Why would we have leaks? The Pro isn't rumored to come out until next year. The Slim wasn't anywhere near leaking at this time last year.

Tom called this model Sept of last year and we have some pretty credible leaks of the ship the Pro will be using

These things take time they don't snap them together in a few weeks

 

[MrTired]

Might as well skip it and go next-gen, especially since MS won't be releasing a Pro of their own.

All the more reason to. It puts Microsoft in an awkward position. If they don't release a Pro console themselves they risk losing Power users to the PlayStation ecosystem. If they do release a Pro console that's 3 skus on the market all of which there losing a significant amount on. They may decide that it's not worth the investment considering the demand for Xbox series consoles can't justify it.

 

[ShakenG]

Cant wait to see the insides. Love the teardown vids.

 

[Wooxsvan]

dang son glad i got 2 ps5 DE when i did

 

[leo-j]

DE went from $399 to $449. Usually refreshes like this lower the cost.

Ah well, at least they're not doing the thing about only one SKU.

I don't like the huge divider line in between lol, it's smaller but somehow they made it even uglier than the OG model.

Value for consoles has increased dramatically , people upgrade every year or two for a $1100 phone, a console will give u 5-6 years of value, they see they sold out for years at 499, 449 for a ps5 is still a steal for what you get

 

[R6Rider]

Teardown video when?

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Hideous.

 

[Banjo64]

£389? Wtf?

Like the 30% reduction in volume, think it looks nice, but should be £350 max.

 

[rofif]

No usb A in the front.
Pulse headset dongle is USB A. Elite dongle is also usb A from what I've seen..

I am constantly plugging, unplugging the dongle between ps5 and pc... so that's a huge bummer

 

[mortal]

I like that's it smaller and lighter, and the disc drive being an attachable component rather than being tethered is pretty neat actually.
Having said all that, I prefer the cleaner, minimal outer look of the OG PS5. The custom plates market for PS5 Slim will be pretty cool.

 

[Mr Moose]

sold separately for 79.99 USD | 119.99 EURO | 99.99 GBP | 11,980 JPY.

Not like I will be buying it but... Get fucked, Sony.

 

[AngelMuffin]

Why in the world would anyone consider Digital for $449 when they can get a current Disk version for $449 or newer Slim Disk version for just $50 more?

 

[NeonDelta]

If they’ve got rid of the m.2 expansion I wonder if they’ll now allow games to play off an external m.2 usb c drive

 

[nosoynadie22]

Its why I think the PS5 Pro will come in at least at $599

$599 (disc drive not included)

 

[Elios83]

As I expected Tom Henderson was wrong on the idea that Sony would give up on releasing both a digital and a disc model. They're not giving up on controlling the production mix towards a more expensive model.

New model looks good, digital is basically getting extra space and the possibility to upgrade for 50$ more.
Personally I'm interested in the Pro next year which is obviously real and I expect to launch at 599$. Electronics prices are destined to increase it's obvious at this point.

 

[adamsapple]

Vertical stand is aseparate purchase?! wut mate

Not like I will be buying it but... Get fucked, Sony.

I got a PS5 post launch, did the launch model not ship with a vertical stand?

Mine came with a stand in the box which I am using. I can't put the thing horizontally, it's too fucking big for the stand.

 

[Faust]

This looks beyond cheap and rather ugly. I will stick with my launch PS5.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Its why I think the PS5 Pro will come in at least at $599

I don’t think $100 difference would make sense. I can see them pushing for $649-$699.

 

[Aenima]

I like the design of the new digital version a bit more, but the OG Physical version looks better. Having an option to buy a disck drive, is great.
Increased size in SSD is nice, price is the same for europe, its a raise in the US since they escaped the previous price hike.
Should have added the stand in for free.

 

[rofif]

It did.

 

[Dacvak]

Weird timing, considering the OG model is getting that Spider-Man version.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

The original PS5 looks fantastic, this looks even cooler.

 

[Monokrom]

It was used for both vertical and horisontal.

 

[NEbeast]

 

[TVexperto]

lmao same priced and they removed the vertical stand which was available in original design packaging???

 

[mortal]

Its why I think the PS5 Pro will come in at least at $599

Whatever the price for the PS5 Pro, I hope it has a more premium build from better quality materials, rather than just being a spec bump.
That's my hope, at least.

 

[tmlDan]

I still doubt a Pro will be coming.
We've had leaks of physical Slims for a while, but nothing on a Pro at all.

Tom said a pro is coming end of next year
