Actual size comparison apparently

 

[Peebs]

Insert random hardware that looks nothing like the PS5.. okay..

 

[Grinchy]

Looks really awesome and futuristic. It actually looks like a new generation.

 

[chillbrah]

im already obsessed with its look!

Holy shit.

Good luck putting that flat in your media stand. You better have a wide media stand or force PS5 to be in the centre slots (which are often the biggest).

My media is a six slot design. 2 slots high x 3 slots across. Only the middle ones would be able to lay it flat, but that's where my wide BR home theatre unit is and my sound bar.

Damm, that is one ugly console. I was thinking the XSX looked a bit bland, but Sony went and showed how sometimes less is more.

 

[tryDEATH]

After seeing how big it is compared to the XSX I think it might be doable.

Size won't mean anything, if the efficiency of moving air isn't there. Tall and thin is actually much more difficult to move air in.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Those extruding plastic tabs really bother me. This thing looks awkward to have in any position except upright.

They needed a way to distract people from the giant vents wrapping around the console.

 

[Skyfox]

Reminds me of tampax brand design for some reason

Can't unsee:

Bloodbourne sequel confirmed.

The aesthetic looks fine. Its not as good as the peripherals and definitely look large but its a good look overall. Probably a heavy console to boot.

Now the next big deal is the price of entry. Digital only will be cheaper no doubt but will they make that $399 while the disc version is in the $400-499 range?

 

[Fbh]

I think it looks pretty nice.
I like it more than the Ps3, updated Ps4 or Ps4 pro. The OG Ps4 was nicer though.

But I don't really care about the look of the console too much anyway.

 

[supraman1120]

This thing will look very very dated in short period of time.

 

[Eliciel]

okay real talk.

would you have preferred the dev kit or the retail design?

I kinda want the dev kit.

I liked the idea of the dev kit....but yeah, I guess it is what it is. :/

Somehow the whole thing reminds me a lot of the PS3. It looks like 599 to me.

[Frito_Pendejo]

Absolutely love the controller. Not a fan of the consoles look at all.

 

[Bartski]

Looks dope as fuck

Hope the headphones won't be in the maxed-out bundle, I'm good with ones I have.

 

[MarkMe2525]

U.G.L.Y. it don't have no alibi it's ugly.

I for real hate to be negative but man, those horns are off-putting. Every generation I end up picking up a Playstation, and I just hope that it gets a redesign before I do, I would feel a little self-conscious with that sitting on my TV stand.

 

[Joey.]

I really like it. I was hoping for an all-black SKU though.
Looks awesome though. Something different than the usual rectangle box.

LMAO!!!

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

I was one of the people shitting on the new xbox but I like it a lot better now. It's just a black box but it doesn't look like 2000s tech that was trying to look futuristic.

Jim is not liking this 'new' brap .....

 

[Blitzmangoman]

I think it looks good but in the end I don't really care how it looks like. Only the performance is important and I hope this thing is quiet.

 

[lucius]

Better than a mini pc like design. Both look better standing but I doubt I put either upright. I like the black and white . The slim versions almost always look better to me but it’s good for a new console.

 

[GymWolf]

it looks sexy AF.

 

[phil_t98]

I hope the blue light can be switched off it will get annoying after a while

 

[Radical_3d]

Like a router.

Yes. But I dig it.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Funky.
I want to see this cooling system tear down Cerny mentioned now

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Looks like a generic router.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Has there ever been a console where a USB port is right in the middle?

 

[Gamerguy84]

I really do like it but my first impression was an anorexic batman.

When they showed the other angles I was like OK cool.

 

[Buki1]

Looking nice, and pretty cheap for new console:

 

[Enigmagamer]

People got the PS5 early lol

 

[yurinka]

I loved it, looks great.

 

[Painskiller]

 

[Enigmagamer]

Yeah i like it too

 

[Domisto]

It's next gens sexy option.

Going upright.

 

[mhirano]

You guys know nothing about console engineering.
The PS5 was designed with cooling in mind:

 

[Mega_Deth]

Looks AMAZING! So sleek and futuristic. Much better than Microsoft's effort.

 

[DigitalScrap]

Some guy on twitter already has one.

This. Is. Perfect.

That belongs in the design meme thread.

Holy shit! haha!

Just need about 80 sawtooth vent holes connecting the black and white part.

[DigitalScrap]

Who is this post directed at? Everybody does.

Yep. And some of us buy all of them... I guess we’re not entitled to an opinion and we have to choose a “side”.

 

[Moogle11]

How would that lay down?

Unless they make a horizontal stand.

The left side looks flat to me. They aren’t going to make it uable to lay down when a majority of people are using tv stands with shelves for horizontal components.

 

[Yoda]

Eh, I wouldn't call it awful, but really not my cup of tea. Still not sure I'm even getting a console next gen, PC only may be good enough for me going forward as I haven't been to big a fan of either consoles exclusives save Bloodborne.

 

[DigitalScrap]

It needs to use the stand for horizontal too?

That’s to insure that it doesn’t set your TV stand/entertainment center on fire. The stand is made of asbestos.

 

[Nankatsu]

The left side looks flat to me. They aren’t going to make it uable to lay down when a majority of people are using tv stands with shelves for horizontal components.

Judging by the horizontal design that is popping on the web, I would say they designed the digital version to stay vertically and the one with the optical driver to stay horizontally.

At least, the one with the optical driver looks better to me by staying horizontallly rather than vertically.
