Im not a huge fan of how it looks standing vertically
But I love how it looks horizontally. I love the curved aesthetic its got and the fact it looks slightly like its floating
Funny, I'm coming around to this myself and I thought the opposite at reveal. Good thing since this is the orientation I'll have it in most likely.
The gloss actually improves its look as well.

I like the style. But it is way too big. Redesign/die shrink version will be great.

It looks fine to me - a nice departure from the black boxes.

I wouldn't say it's ugly. It's not a looker either though and it feels kinda disappointing. Might grow on me in the future, but then again looks aren't that important, as you can always hide it in your tv stand (if you can fit it in). I'd say the Xbox SX looks a bit better, but even that one isn't really a great look either. I think Sony and Microsoft did it better this gen compared to what they've shown for next-gen.
I feel like there should've been a few more options in the poll, as I can't vote for either choice.

It looks damn cool standing flat on the side . (which is how I will place it)
Not so much from the from though , kinda ugly even
I mean you should never ever keep your console upright if your using its disc drive, there is an easy to try out a home reason for this, first find a game you dont like and will never play again, now have it placed in the horitizontal positon and jump up and down near the console hard while its loading and see what happens. Now place the console vertically and do the same thing, if your console is an xbox 360 congratulations your disc now looks like this.
because normally gravity helps aid disc's with staying on the spindal when you have the console on its side you now instead you have it forcing the disc horizontally down, which means if the disc starts to wobble there is no force helping guiding it back into its correct position infact it is more likely to become more slanted due the way gravity is pushing down. A quirk of the 360 was that when a disc became misaligned it would increase the intensity of the laser to try to read the parts of the disc that where now further away, burning the sections that where now closer, thanks Microsoft.

Better in black but I get the need to take a hard turn from the PS4.

It doesn’t even matter how it looks, it never mattered. At end of the day we buy these systems to play games, it’s not a fashion accessory.

I generally don't like obviously overly designed things when it comes to design language, so I really don't like the look of the PS5. I'm actually probably going to get the digital one (I missed the pre-order rush) simply because I will have it standing vertically behind the television so I don't have to see it. Yes, I seriously don't like the look of It that much. I guess I will just connect the PS4 if I want to play any of the physical games I have bought over the years. I do the same thing with my other older systems, so that will work.
I'm glad I didn't mount the TV on the wall in the room that it is going to be in.

I’m OBSESSED with this design!!! The PS5 reminds me of them 1990’s futuristic Pics of what we Thought (at the time) a futuristic Console would look like, And Sony had the BALLS to do it!!! 
I have a Series X PreOrdered (No PS5), but my lord, that PS5 design is butter baby! NOT understanding those who say it’s Ugly, too me it looks like the future!

because everyone looks at his console from the side. Lol.
this is mainly because people are stupid. Very stupid.
just think about it: Someone thinks the PS5 looks so much cooler without the stand so wants to use it without the stand or he simply forgets to put it back on.
what might then happen? Well the console might overheat. This would be really bad PR.
So, better stay safe, because people are super stupid.
and looking at it from the Front, like People usually do, you can’t see it anyways.

The more I look at it, the uglier it gets.
I wouldn't know where tu hide it in my living room.
Looks like cheap plastic cringe-futuristic dvd player from 2004

No, it's definitely worse. Also who puts it on his side when he has the space to put it vertical? You only put it on the side if you want it in a cabinet, and guess what, then you don't see that part due to the sides of the cabinet.Its strange, but at least is not this, how in hell they made the stand not detachable

It's pretty damn fugly and contrary to my initial thoughts has not grown on me over time.
I do wonder if it might look better with different side panels that are even with the inner shell, essentially cutting off the hokey "collared" look.

Yeah it's so bad and such a behemoth that it has actually given me second thoughts as to whether I really want one at launch. I may just sell mine and wait for the slim.
