For reference this is the last special edition Xbox Series X I repaired. Xbox really knows how to do special editions imo: ua-cam.com/video/uL2DvzP-dvQ/v-deo.html
Excellent system!
Have you tried using thermal Grizzly Carbonaut instead of Liquid Metal to see how the PS5 works?
Buddy I think you're awesome and you taught me some things that I use in life with these consoles teardowns and other Tear down.. It is because of you I got the iFixit kit that has all the bits prys tweezers suction cup ect and made my life easier. Along with getting there upgraded PS5 controller batteries..
But I am trying to figure out where is the disappointment and what were you expecting the Spider-Man 2 PS5 to be?
Not supposed to be a PS5 Pro. It's a 1200 model PS5 with Spider-Man themed plates in controller. The real disappointment is that these bundles come with no actual game. Which is why I don't buy them. Instead my 1200 model PS5 is dbrand decked out and waiting on arachnid plates. With Spider-Man 2 controller with Scarlet Red faceplate and black kontrolfreek thumbstick pads.
@@Rene-jv7rf Nah Im pretty sure he's sponsored by common sense.
@@TerraWare nooe he sound slike a Xbot
I’ve never thought about a “special edition” console as being different on the inside. It’s just a way to get a fancy color or design. It was great for me because I didn’t have a PS5 and those plates sold out super fast.
Xbox does cool things on the inside. Like they did for Xbox one s minecraft special edition (imo the best se console of all time)
@@Luckysury333 really doesnt matter to the consumer at all, also because the PS5 only uses plates to customize the console theres no need for them to open up the PS5 or make new spiderman themed parts when they can just whack on some plates on and call it a day
Yeah but xbox does that because they target the teenagers and preteens. Xbox has always done cheesy special editions.
@tinystar3010 I mean, every console is geared towards kids. Spiderman, mine craft, fortnite, halo etc. Xbox is just better with build quality, power, reliability , and low maintenance. I own both and can say for sure I've needed 3 ps5 controllers in 2 years and needed to redo thermal on ps5 bc overheating. I haven't had any issues with series x yet
just get them fake they are half the price and look the same. This is on Sony's for doing such a small limited run.
I don’t think anyone expected it to be any different from any other PS5 in terms of hardware.
exactly
@@caphowdy666 oh yeah?? Look at ds4 old model that has no lightbar..
@@sevengedafterlife9670 All dual shocks had the light all they did with the new DS4 was had thinner plastic above it so it showed through above it. That was nothing to do with "limited edition" that was to do with being an updated controller everyone could buy. Same when you talk about early Dual sense vs second gen. They annnounce the changes. There were no changes announced for Spidey limited edition just the cosmetics.
EXACTLY
Exactly. It's more of a video to badtalk the ps5 imo... But hey, I'm sure that if you don't clean it from time to time, It'll end up with with some spiders inside...
I mean, it's just a special shell. You can buy it seperatly.
Not anymore unless you’re paying a scalper. They did 1 actual limited run for the plates, now they’re just selling the special controller stand-alone and a white console with game bundle. It’s hilarious.
you're right. ps4/pro edition special was impossible to reproduce
@@6reen6uy I mean what did you expect? It’s a time-limited-edition thing for a new game that’s about to launch of course it’s gonna be sold out already🤦🏽♂️
The cool thing is that it's isn't exclusive people can get the covers and controllers if they want without being forced to buy a whole new console...I personally like that
Exactly yeah it may cost 50$ for it to look that cool but I rather that instead of 500$
Can't buy the covers anymore unless you pay scalpers $120-180 on ebay lol.
thats literally the whole point of a special edition lmao... sony is just to dumb to understand that. selling the controllers is fine but selling the console as a special edition and then also selling the side covers doesn't make it special at all.
@@sharkbait7854 he conveniently left that part out, "you can just buy the plates on a regular PS5" like they haven't been long gone.
Why would you expect it to be different? Manufacturers love crap like this because they charge a premium for the same product with little overheads others than some design and print work. These changes will NOT be exclusive to this limited edition.
I guess he means that Xbox special edition consoles have some Easter eggs inside, unlike any PlayStation.
The entirety of all the PS4 SE's had some sort of hardware benefit to them that was different from a normal varient. That's why.
It's Limited Edition anyway, which even less implies anything changed inside. That, plus the Sony store page advertises nothing beyond the spiderman themed controller and plates.
I hope no one was expecting it to be different internally. There is absolutely no reason why it would be. That would be like buying a new car with the enhanced trim package and expecting a different engine.
lol yes, I don't know why he expected to be different...
Yeah this is my PS5 and i never expected anything different other than looking cool with a spider-man theme.
l am actually surprised the controller has a different motherboard.
This is just a dbrand skin and for the price and the name it doesnt live up to scratch, look at the 360 custom consoles, the different leds, the audio as well when you turn it and generally just really impressive. If you are happy with this standard, so be it.
@@Mr-fe5ngYou can buy the controller and the cover on their own. Also it isn't that expensive compared to the regular version. Imagine bashing all Joycon colors/designs cuz they're not different on the inside lol.
To make money from ads
You're better of buying custom panels for the console and controller because that's all these special editions really amount to.
They're all sold out.
@@Nost2682 I done some googling and there's still a number of big chains vending it, but ya, it seems they've been cleared out in some of the big stores.
When it comes to these 'special' edition PS consoles the only reason I would think of ever getting one is... RESELL. Keep it sealed. Sell it on down the line. But even that's speculative/risky investment wise as I've seen a lot of special PS4 editions being hawked for cheap in the second hard markets.
Outwith reselling, just change the panels on your normal PS5.
Goodluck finding one
aren't special editions usually just the game console and controllers with a wrap on them? I didn't think there was any actual difference between a "normal" and special addition aside from appearance
Yes, they're. I think we all are confused by the main topic of the video lol.
Xbox special editions usually have a number of differences other than just slapping a wrap on them
but they sold the plate coverings separate lol doesn't really make it special. like sony is to cheap to even give the people who bought this console bundle the deluxe edition of the game smh. still hyped for the game but sony sucks.
I guess you have shown some special editions that do have more hardware changes (I'm thinking of the Halo Infinite Xbox Series X you repaired which had a speaker on for custom sounds, a different colour insert, a unique fan and so on), though I don't know how exactly they could make this Spiderman version different. Maybe every console could ship with a live spider living inside it. :)
Yeah Xbox does go out of their way to make their special editions a bit more special. R2D2 Xbox 360 comes to mind that made R2D2 noises when powering it on.
sony just sucks.
7:26 - Joke's on you, I already know how to solder 😜
There are three different versions of the controller boards and yeah the spider-man is the 3rd, I’ve modded my spider controller to have back buttons and needed to be sure cause the ribbon cables are different between v1/2 and v3
We shouldn't be too surprised that they're constructed the same. The "special" in the special edition is the plates, controller and game code put together for cheaper than buying it all separately.
So the one PSU you showed (ADF-400) is probably DELTA
the new one PA-1401-JT3 is a Liteon...
Too bad you didn't open the PSU and show the inside of the Lite-On one.
I guarantee the board in the 1200 model is the same board in the slim model with 4 plates
Would have been cool if the liquid metal was black in color... like a blob of symbiote.
The L1/L2 and R1/R2 assemblies are different than the white controller, also the buttons film or whatever is called is also different
It says CuH 1215a on the box so mostly gonna be the models used from the gow: Ragnarok bundle but I can feel the disappointment
Spiderman transition was a nice touch
I mean, aren’t most special editions like this? They usually just have the appearance changed to match whatever game.
Nah, check out my video where I repaired a Special Edition Xbox Series X
@@Tronicsfix I see, shame Xbox doesn't do more special edition consoles. I think that Halo one is the only one they've done so far this generation, right? Would love to see some more.
It would bo so dope if they gave red/black board instead of green to this special edition and white spider on it.
6:48 I’m surprised that you didn’t notice that they cut out a L shape on the power supply side. And there’s also another cut in the center. My assumption is for better airflow. You can see right through it when you remove the plate.
i thought this isn't new, we saw it on the 2nd gen ps5 didnt we?
@@sunlessheaven yes you’re right after scrubbing for a video to find on the refresh I do see that there are new holes! It’s news to me thanks for pointing that out.
@@sunlessheaven It is a new changes made for 2nd revision PS5 (3rd gen, CFI-1200)
Cant wait for you to disassemble the new slimmer PS5 next month
Thank you for breaking it down. Much appreciated 🙏 🎉
6:45 "The next PS5 coming out would be PS5 Slim" well that aged well
Is the fan a different model? I had a spider man edition the fan was pretty loud I returned it got a second one and the fan was just as loud. I put it next to my original PS5 1215 and that fan is so quiet you can’t here it even if you put your ear by it. I’m convinced the fan is 100% different.
Do you have an idea if/when disc drive repair prices for the launch models will decrease after the slim launches? Or if I could get decent trade-in value for a launch model with broken disc drive; everything else works fine.
so, can you use the 1215 plastic on a pre-1215 ps5?
I think the true benefit of this console bundle is getting the system with the plates, controller and game for a much better price than buying all four items separately.
I'm looking forward to the new PS5. Mainly to do some tests on the disc drive though lol
Are you going to do a video on the new PS5 slim with the removable disk drive?
OF COURSE!!!
There's alot of people waiting for them to make modern better Analog sticks.
which special/limited edition was different inside from regular one? have You compare the same hardware revisions?
The Halo Xbox Series X
What SSD would you recommend for a PS5 that is worth the money ?
the faceplates are not available anymore from the sony website. they were sold out 10 min before they were supposed to go live. insomniac said they probably were NOT going to restock. hopefully they change their minds and restock for fans.
😂😂Sony looting their customers 😂😂
Thank you for the video. I have not yet been able to acquire a PS5, I have 1-4 and was just not lucky in the first 2 years of the 5's release to get one for retail pricing. By now I figured I would wait for a special edition or the Slim. Now I know to wait for the slim. Much appreciated!
I don't usually comment on YT, so thank you for the time effort and energy that you put into all your videos.
I'm waiting for the slim also. I just hope it isnt the same godawful ugly shape as this one, and ends up being something more normal looking.
@@Ass_Burgers_Syndromeit’s been announced
Should have checked the box. They put a spider in the box before shipping
I pre ordered mine and not even a week later it stopped working and wasn't powering on all the way you can hear the beep and then it never turns on all the way I and I had to send it back hopefully I get it back before the game comes out
That controller design is actually sick. First time I see a non basic Sony PS 4/5 controller that I think looks awesome. Usually Xbox controllers have way better design and look better. Sony usually just slaps the game's logo and calls it a "limited edition controller" or "special edition". This one actually looks like a special edition for once.
Getting my hands on that controller made me realize that it's one of the nicest controllers out there👌
Thank you for this video i was curious just like you. Is the Spider-Man ps5 any different besides the shells
It will be cool when you finally get a PS5 Slim and break one down to see what all they did when they shrunk it!
Thwy will probably use ps4 components 😂 and maybe tone down on the Chip or capacitors along with the fan size. The ps2 slim vs ps2 was pretty much same thing, ps3 versions also had same hardware between all versions but improved it. The difference in the ps4 versions released weren't that much different either.
Unfortunately the plates are all sold out on Sony's website and I don't think they will be re stocking them, I believe they were a limited time only deal on them, and once they sold out, that's it
You are really good at explaining everything about each part so perfectly Thank You for showing it to us!
The conductive film for the spiderman 2 controller is also different. I looked into replacing it on mine but i couldn't find any results for how to remove the film specifically. Still looking
I know you’re a professional at it but why do you use pliers to pull up connectors I know you probably haven’t done it but everyone else usually breaks stuff off the board when they do it. That way I’ve worked on consuls and controls for 10 years plus and I’ve always pulled the connectors off by the wire.
"This model is pretty chunky" It most definitely is. I've never been a fan of the PS5's clunky, odd shaped design. I'm waiting for the Slim version to finally get it down to a manageable size. I'd also like to see the slim model be more like a box than the current funky round shape.
Thats not a disappointment its a good thing more people can enjoy the special edition stuff.Also its a good thing the parts are the same as stock so its easier to swap parts out in repairs
Im sure this isnt the place to ask, but would you be interested in looking at fixing a slightly different kind of electronics device? I have a remote starter that worked but I think the button wore out...might be worth a video?
You could buy all these covers and just put it on your current ps5.
Maybe they could have tagged tiny spiders on every bit and piece
PS5 and the Slim models coming out, are so much nicer than the X-box-whatever. Modular, expandable and... cool looking.
I love the looks of this bundle. ❤
I’m guessing a cost of a wire is cheaper than a cost of ribbon cable
Good insight to predict the launch of the ps5 slim
I got one of these at launch. You’re braver than I am to take it apart lol.
Lol, for some reason this is a what I call “fun”!
@@Tronicsfix you should sign it for the giveaway.
Yeah, seeing these special editions being disassembled really stresses me out.
@@_Will___ most SE consoles aren't actually that special, it's just a shell.
Not sure what you were expecting bud but the rest of us were just expecting spider-man faceplates and the controller
I wasn't and either was he.
It’s an iFixit-like teardown, but it’s not sponsored by them 😮
Eres el mejor.. Buen trabajo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
At least for the price they could have it be a 1tb console. I made a spider-man 2 skin for my controller and console did a different design. Peter parker and miles morales on one side and venom on the other. Did it on my computer.
Thanks 🙏
just a special edition of current console , waiting to see teardown of the new model slim
Are the screws Pjillips or JIS?
I have acer aspire 7 laptop , when i try to use while charging it gets off, but after charging then using, it works. Can you tell what would be the problem. On full charge battery drains in 4hr on normal use.
I don‘t even think about something being different in this version. For me it was clear from day one i just have to buy the sideplates (and the package) to have a „special edition“ too.
But the controller would be enough for me. The plates don‘t look that good in my opinion.
On the other hand Sony could have doing a „shock“ and bring the slim version as a real special.
When i think about the price tag for this console it would have only been fair.
Most PS5 with a game are under 500 (€, at least in germany) now, and then there is the Spiderman variant, with nothing more than a different skin for way over 600 (660€ in a store i looked for).
I can go in a store, buy a new „normal“ PS5, buy the sideplates, buy the controller and buy the retail version of that game, and wouldn‘t pay anything more. But then with a physical game disc, two controllers and a second pair of sideplates.
Awe man, I really want that special edition. It’s beautiful.
They should've added a Spider-Man startup animation or something xD
If you use isopropyl alcohol while removing the “warranty” sticker, it will not come up void, or so I heard. 🤷♂️
Its just the design thats different
Ps blog press release on October 10th shows the new model ps5 which is 30% less in volume.
Yep, was just looking at those. Can’t wait to tear them apart!
"I'll be giving away this Spider-Man limited edition console!"... "Remove the warranty sticker..."... I love this channel.
What do you suggest on how often I should clean my ps5
Can I get some advice? I have an Alienware M17 laptop that was recently reset to factory default...Since then it no longer recognizes the fact that it has a USB port and only offers a NIC card as a reboot option...Does anyone have any thoughts on what happened??? I don't want to take it in, but I don't know how to create a bootable site to link to and it doesn't seem like there are any other options...
Update...I was contacted by a friend who suggested that I plug in my bootable USB drive then reboot-F12. I did that and in the boot options the USB drive showed up...I'm back in business...
The power supply is different. Mine is broken and I can't find the same model anywhere or a UA-cam tutorial about it. The inside of the PCB is different.
What's that keyfob battery attached to the motherboard for?
That battery is for the clock
Like most things, you're paying for the licensing for the "whatever the 'special/super duper limited product placement' of the day is."
I have a issue with a ps5 crashes immediately when started a game can it be a ssd issue?
Did you have to take it apart tho? I mean it’s just a colored outer shell lmao
I totallly agree, sold the plates and the controller and bought another set and the Camo Dual Sense….
Slim board will`nt be smaller, i think.
i think too cuz they already put a slim board in the ps5 fat
Man I would kill for that
I hate that they don't put physical games in the box anymore
it was the best $600 i spent. and i 100% completed my new favorite game of all time. gonna play Spider-Man 2 a few more times for fun
Same inside just Themed side panels and controller that all
Good day, I hope make a video for teardown PS 5 Slim and compare with opinion from both machine.
I think the bigger issue is the lack of a physical disc for the game. With the detachable face plates, most of us didn't really expect anything special with this version.
Agreed 👍 really would have liked to see a physical copy of the game. But that's maybe because i'm old school 😁
Can't you do the live stream giveaway here on UA-cam :( and is it worldwide giveaway. I really want the Spiderman ps5 looks incredible
Havnt had a Playstation since ps3.. This would be so spidyacular!
hi I bought a PS5 Japanese version written under the console (100v-3.55A 60/50hz sie. I want to know if it is compatible with 220v or not thank you
i think i was a great deal.. you get a the limited edition console and limited edition controller.. now imagineif you had to buy the plates the white console and the limited editon controller and the game seperate it would have cost more individually..it would have cost more....
I want how do we get in the running?
man if i had the game code unused i could play the game at some point, i just have to get the first game and beat it.
I'm still pissed they didn't do this for FFXVI. I had to buy the PS5 with FF graphics on the box, then import FF covers and controllers separately to get a facsimile of a limited edition console for FFXVI. Of course I ended up buying the game twice too since the console came with a download and I wanted a physical copy of Final Fantasy. So, I wouldn't call this Spiderman 2 limited edition a disappointment other than it doesn't come with the physical game, rather a download.
I have the God of War Edition, so it would have been cool if at least the God of War controller had been included.
Bro was expecting webs in the motherboards or sumn
i wanted the disc version of the game not digital so i decided to get the normal white console as that was more important to me,Also it had dropped in price at the same time as the launch of this spiderman version
The biggest problem with the controllers is the joystick drift on them and their is no fix for them at all
what a differents you expected??? but I have dualsense rev.1 connected to my PC and I shocked what they do with this
The covers have been sold out for a month and never restock. Controller is a little more doable
I miss when sony made the limited editions like bo3, god of war 2018 and batman Arkham knight for the PS4
