  • Just like all other PlayStation consoles before it, PS5 now has a new model that is smaller, lighter, and referred to by fans as Slim. At least, that's what normally happens. Today we're gonna bust out the magnifying glass and take a close look at the new model. We're gonna unbox it, do a teardown, test out the noise levels with the fan, and see if it has coil whine. We're also gonna play around with that detachable drive and figure out its limits. New PlayStation hardware is always an exciting time. And lemme tell ya folks, I'm juicing right now. (I don't even know what that means, did it sound okay?)

      Yeah, to be honest never liked the old horizontal stand either, just tried it twice, when I was firstly setting the ps5 and I wanted to see how it works but I was already committed on using it vertically and when there was that whole buzz about the liquid metal, used it horizontally for a week and gone with “fuck it, I’m gonna use is as I want and whatever”
      Now I’m tempted to get the new stand, it seems more appealing to me.

    The slim is louder reading a disc because it's resonance VS the OG.
    OG is dampened by the rubber on the bottom of the stand and it is "decoupled" from the console itself.
    Slim has it sitting on the actual console itself on the surface, so it makes sense it's louder.

I do have my PS5 in vertical stand mode. I think it looks nicer that way and it looks like it has been made for it to be vertical. Even though Sony said that it doesn't really matter how you put your console.

    The original model is just much better than this revision of the PS5.
    In fact, the PS5 that I have is the original model with the disc drive and was manufactured in February 2021, 3 months after its launch.
    The biggest problem with the Slim revision of the PS5 in my opinion is that the design looks really ugly and uninspiring compared to the look of the original model particularly with the line that runs across the upper portion of the console. They also made the upper top portion glossy while the bottom portion is made of the usual standard material, and the problem with the top being glossy is that it will get scratched too easily.
    Another problem with the Slim revision of the PS5 is the online check-in requirement for the disc drive. Understandable since Sony has to comply with DMCA laws and with the disc drive now being able to be attached and detached at will so, they enforce this check-in requirement to make sure that the user is not using unauthorized third-party disc drives with the PS5. However, if you skip the network connection process during setup with the disc drive attached, it will warn you that the disc drive will not work unless you connect it online and register the disc drive to your PS5 along with requiring an update of the PS5 System Software if you had not updated it already. They should've just enforced this online check-in just for movie playback and still have it read PS5 and PS4 game discs much like on the PS4 where you have to connect it to the internet to enable offline disc movie playback without having to connect the PS4 to the internet each time you want to watch a Blu-ray Disc or DVD on your console. This will cause a problem long-term when Sony eventually shuts down the PSN servers for the PS5, meaning that these disc drives could become electronic waste without issuing an update to allow for local pairing of the disc drive.
    Another problem with the Slim revision is that a multi-purpose stand is no longer included with the console out of the box unlike the original model which shipped with a multi-purpose stand out of the box so that you can position your PS5 horizontally or vertically. It only includes a horizontal stand. If you are people like me who always want to place our PS5 vertically, well too bad, you will have to purchase a vertical stand separately for $30.
    If you do not have a PS5 yet, grab the original model while you still can before the inventory of the OG model runs out.

      The PS3 has been out for almost 20 years now and you can still find its latest 4.90 firmware patch online. Sony are definitely money hungry but they're also trying to maintain a loyal customer base, so I doubt they'll discontinue software patches for the PS5 long down the road.

    The big reason isn’t not as small as typically they are is from the inability to node shrink more. The node shrinking of the APU in the previous generations was soo much larger. Put simply the PS5 launched with a very advanced node and 3 years later the slower shrinking and general economy shrinking it more isn’t viable. I mean before you shrunk for both power and price savings but that’s not the case anymore. Shrinking the node is starting to cost more not less per chip. I think they did a good job especially mentioning the fan noise.

I played inside the console but never played with it. Never found the time. But still bought the Slim on the first day I dont know why and I was looking to sell my modified one but since I saw your video I cant get myself to sell the OG and Refund the slim that is still sealed with COD inside. I feel like I need both. The launch one is rare and is the one worth more in materials value out of the box. Sucks to be me. Im not rich and I dont know why I need 2 PS5 while I dont play.

The four plates, the fact that the top are glossy and the bottom are matte is not something I like either. And the disc drive attachment is way too pronounced compared to the rest of the console. Only plus of the slim in my opinion is the larger storage straight out of the box.

    While I will say that the online pairing for the drives is a bit annoying, I do really appreciate that they are easily interchangeable. The drives don't appear locked to a specific console, meaning you can reuse a drive from a borked console or just swap in a new drive if the old one breaks which is actually extremely nice for repairability since disc drives are one of the moving parts that may fail over time, and sending in your entire console for repairs kind of sucks.
