So true, digital people think that because they don't see the implications of digital, that means it is ok, and everyone needs to accept digital as your only option.
I wish there was better preservation, but most of the games require full installs and many of them require large updates. Plus most indies are digital only except for limited run releases for collectors.
I still go back to my super nintendo, n64, ps1, 2, 3, game cube, and Wii to this day! Consoles without disc drives will be rendered useless in the future!
@AverageEDITZ466 idk what a Nintendo switch has to do with my comment, but again, if you care about digital games, then get the slim. If you care about physical games, get the og ps5.
@@checob224 for gaming I’ve been all digital purchases since 2017 but for movies and tv shows I’m all in on physical media and got the disc edition PS5 for the extra 4K Blu-ray player myself.
Nothing weird about buying games on disc. It's generally cheaper than digital and if you don't like the game you can always sell it. You're probably right that the next generation will be digital only, but for now I'm happy buying discs or at least have the option to.
@LosoBanks_332 firstly, I've never heard of a 3-year old game being delisted. That's very unusual, but if you own the disc then of course it's still available to play. If you own the digital copy then it should still be available to download, it just won't be available to buy. Secondly, optical drives don't make much noise at all. I have both the PS5 and Xbox Series X and neither of them are particularly loud when playing discs, only when installing the game. Once the game is installed on your SSD it only uses the disc as a key, so you shouldn't hear it much at all.
The bottom line. Wait for the PS5 Pro or enjoy the regular PS5 now at a discounted price for several years. If you wait for the next best thing you will never own a console. Kind of like trying to be the car in first place on the highway.
A person would be crazy to get the digital Ps5. I bought Spiderman Miles Morales from a used disc bargain bin for $20 that game in Canada is $89 to get from PS Store digitally . Sony still want $79 for Witcher 3 , that disc sells for $15 in bargain bins .
Sony can just as easily invalidate your disc remotely through an update. There is no difference between physical and digital when it comes to theoretical longevity. When you buy physical it plainly states you are only buying a license to play the game.
@@joemamr710 Yeah, but somebody new can come along and make a console where you don't have to connect to the internet. It's a gap in the market. Just because Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo aren't interested doesn't necessarily mean the end of physical. Maybe Sega might get into(off line) consoles again? Unlikely but you never know. The PlayStation came from out of nowhere remember.
@@Sigurd-r5 They can't realistically though, because developers and publishers won't want to make games for such a system because piracy will be too high.
The problem with the ps5 slim disc edition, is the fact that you need to conect to sony servers to be able to use it, and if you reset your console, you have to pair the disc drive again, because when the servers are shutdown is not gonna be able to use the disc drive.
@@gailenrique2804in that regard i would rather look for an old model than praying and hoping they do Something, being dependent, completly relying on their benevolence.
The old PS5 disc version works out of the box without an online connection. The new slim requires an internet connection. That makes the answer an easy one for those who care about making sure their systems can keep working regardless whether Sony's server is working.
The point is why have it all? Sony could have already paired the device out of the box for the disc based console but it didn't. Btw, if you ever need to reset it (let's say to sell it), you need internet again. It may lool like a small thing, but if Sony decides to pull the plug on the ping needed, that would obliterate the slim's disc consoles.
@@epic2043you can use the console you can’t use the disk if you don’t update the firmware for the first time, then it doesn’t matter if you got internet or not
Here in the uk they have just reduced the slim ps5 to £419 and I managed to find the original console last night for £369 so after watching this video, I’m glad I went for the original.
Another thing. Do we even really own our console when you have to go online to even be able to play any games at all! Including offline games. You literally have to go online before you can switch to offline. This is crazy!
@@TheAbandonedAccount7 Yes I do. Broadband. But I don't want to have to go onto the internet to play video games. I'd like some company to come out with a new games console that's offline/ physical games only! Cheers!
I think paying for online gaming is B.S you already have to pat for internet for your dam TV watching an have to pay Sony or shit box to play online cash crab but we all do it
When you pay your internet that just goes to your ISP. None of it goes to pay for the bandwidth to run game servers and online infrastructure, which is a permanent recurring cost for the manufacturer.

Not wired at all unless you want to play a game without any updates that's completely unplayable. If you have games like Fallout 4, Fallout 76, GTA V, The Witcher 3, or Cyberpunk 2077 without internet access to update the games it will be horrible. I know that might be a long time from now but PS3 is practically offline now. So my copy of Fallout New Vegas is not playable on there.
I got it finally just two days ago and yes even though I have at least 50 games purchased and stored digitally I still have (and most likely will continue to buy) discs so I got the slim with the disc option. Also there’s always the chance of there being issues with not getting the games you bought digitally or some kind of headaches hassles and horseshit that Sony is good for. As long as I have some games on disc(and those will definitely include a good deal of favourites) I know I’m ok. On another note I gotta say I’m really loving how quiet this thing is.. couldn’t hear it when I started it up and the loading time is almost nonexistent. Not to mention downloading! I transferred from my 4 and downloaded AC Valhalla in minutes. On my 4 that all would’ve taken a couple hours.…Thanks for making this video and letting us all know about taking it apart and the extra game drive situation. I guess that’ll help with maintenance and cleaning for OCD people like me.
Discless consoles are a false economy and are bad for the future/game preservation. It is a big deal for a few reasons. We need to fight back against digital only and pay that bit for extra.... Most make the slight price difference back quickly anyway.
Nintendo will get everyone on the memory card bandwagon. Cards will only be readable by the machine not by a PC or a mac to make cloning or copying impossible.
@@gailenrique2804changing the medium has never stopped people before. Then there will just adapters build for the new medium that people order and do it anyway. That was never a deterrent.
Bad for economy :) As if there is a working system in place.It's all made up by the government man.They simply can add money to their bank account out of thin air and yet majority of people still believe a working fair system is in place.
Bought a slim digital not knowing anything other than how I was just happy to get a PS5. Along with it I ordered three games (old school disc version). Spent way too much time trying to find where to put the disc in the system. haha. Felt old. Learned that I have to guy the add-on disc drive which I'm happy to do since I'm old school. Thought I had made a huge mistake though before I knew the add-on was a thing.. ;)
Hi Jimmy. I listen to you and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to get a PS5 or PS5 Slim at all. I'm ALL IN on XBox. I have a gaming PC and every model of XBox that has ever come out, OG, 360, One, One S, One X, Series S and Series X. I also have an ROG Ally and am loving the whole XBox echo system. If I want to play Play Station games I go to my Steam account on my PC and go for it. You are experiencing with your PS Eco System what I and many other XBox users out there experience and that is the whole game save transfer and games with your account, etc, following you to your different devices. I LOVE that aspect of what XBox has done. So, kudos to you for seeing that in the PlayStation Eco system. It's great. I respect what PlayStation has done for gamers over the years and started with an Original PlayStation back in the day. I moved to XBox because, at the time, I was taking Microsoft courses for computers and such and wanted to see what Microsoft would do with gaming and boy have I not been disappointed much. (SOME but not much). I encourage you to keep going. Gamers deserve to have more than one side of the gaming community and story and you and Ray (at XBox Ready) tell that full story from both ends of the spectrum. SHAPE ON, Man!!!! :D
Disc drives are a big deal! I live in a rural area with not so great internet. I am limited to 250 GB a month and download speeds are slow. I can watch videos online at lower qualities but online games are a no go. If I buy a digital game or there is a big update it can take up to THREE DAYS to download (Looking at you Master Chief Collection). Also I have been skeptical of digital stuff ever since my Xbox 360 red lighted and I couldn't log into my account so all of my games, DLCs and progress were lost. To this day I still buy CDs, DVDs, and physical games unless digital is the only option (Old or Indie games).
11/10/23 I still am using my PS4 with a disc drive an added external 2tb SSD external drive upgrade that still meets my needs for a gaming console. I still prefer the consoles with the disc drive since the blue disc drive of the PS3 for watching Blue Ray disc movies and playing disc game without filling up your hard drive on games you only played occasionally. I would upgrade to the PS5 slim with disc drive when I see more value games that I like playing, right now it seem like slim picking on what is offered on new PS5 games. And hopefully a PS software update Sony will figure a way to emulate the PS3 so it be backward compatible, like some games on the Xbox S are capable of now. I'm running out of room and connections to set up all the counsels and games to my TV.
Any good ps3 game was ported to the ps4 a long time ago. The ps5 plays all 3,454 ps4 games that were made . My Ps4 disc of Jedi Fallen Order still had to download much of the game from Sony store . The disc it just a proof of purchase now .
@@gailenrique2804 I have a lot of great PS3 game discs that I would love to be able to play on my PS4 could you put more info without having to use a PS3, I know Sony used a different processor in the PS3 that was hard for game developers to program for.
First off the day sony stops making playstation with disc drives is the day i no longer will buy another playstation. Because there's one thing i hate and despise is digital anything. A friend of mine already had a ps5 with the disc drive but given his job and he travels alot he finally had down time to try to set up his new ps5 there's only one problem he forgot to think about his tv stand like will it fit under it spoiler alert: it did so he had to recently to buy the slim digital version. Oh in case anyone is wondering about the ps5 disc version he was gracious enough to sell it to me. 😁 And if preferring a disc gaming console over a digital gaming console makes me a weirdo I'll glady and proudly be a weirdo. Weirdos unite! 😂
A lot of people seem to think you need to pair the disk drive more than once, when you add storage it checks for everything to make sure it’s working other than that you never have to do it again
I think it’s suspicious that the new design is focused around the disc drive since my original design ps5 has developed a disk read error. I’m sure that issue has been buried due to the redesign, but I’m sure it’s pretty common that the original design having a disc read error due to faulty components.
I find it laughable that Sony is talking about going digital considering that they had invented the Blu-Ray player back in the 90s and won against the HD DVD player. How times have changed.
I like the slim and the way it look. But there's something I kind of get it about why some people hate it, and I'm talking about the noise of the fan that is loud because there's a video showing about it. I got the original disc edition and so far it's still in good condition when I bought it four months ago.
My slim gets pretty hot and sometimes loud with occasional ticks, should I exchange it for a new console? I have it in a spacious area, not smothered in a cabinet.
The more packages you have the more things you can do at that the same time because the controller bounces data from chip to chip to chip at the same time. The fewer flash chips you have the lower the ability to do that. Ie lower throughput because you have less ability to distribute work.
Juts got my hands on my first PS5 Slim like a month or so ago, and im loving it, i will buy the disk drive cuz i own most of my PS4 games physically and want to replay some of them enhanced 😄
People complaining about the XboxOne made digital games worse. When the XB1 was first announced Microsoft had this whole plan to make digital games sellable/transferable. But people complained about that plan because they wanted traditional disc games and didn’t like the always online requirement so they scrapped it. But now we’re all transitioning to digital anyway, but without the ability to sell/transfer those games. Had Microsoft followed through with their original plan, and Sony eventually followed suit, we’d have a system where we could actually sell digital games that we're no longer playing, instead of just having them stuck in our digital libraries indefinitely. I have dozens of digital games that I've played and will never play again that I wouldn’t mind selling for a few bucks.
Where I’m from they keep on selling out fast once there in stock. That is why I went ahead and bought the Ps5 Slim Cod Modern warfare 3 bundle and also added 2T of extra storage. 😎👍🏻
Getting rid of disc would KILL the used aftermarket. I pray they NEVER do that..Would be a middle finger to customers because not everybody has $70 on drop day to buy some ppl have to wait or rent games.
I admit I definitely want the OG PS5 console so badly because it’s bigger I love big box gaming consoles, since PlayStation has stopped making PS5 OG consoles, I’m go with the slim this Christmas I’ll be getting PS5 slim along with disk drive as an accessory I truly can’t wait.
THE HANG UP SCREEN AFTER OS UPDATE IS A BUG. HOLD THE POWER BUTTON OR YOULL BE STAYING THERE FOR EVER. THE HANG UP IS A BUG. ONCE THERE. JUST HOLD POWER YOU WONT DAMAGE SOFTWARE. SONY NEEDS TO COME OUT WITH AN UPDATE FOR THIS.
Biggest issue downloading the game when u have a physical copy is more storage , vs less room even 2TB doesn’t download enough games vs have to physical copy
Losing the disc drive would be the absolut K.O. criteria for me. If i can not play modern games outside of getting them digital then i won't play them at all. And in case if i ever would want to play them, i would sail the high seas before i even spend one cent in supporting such a system. It wouldn't make a difference to the producer. Not playing or sailing would result in the same Outcome of them not getting paid and if they made that conscious decision to go that route then that clearly means they don't care if they have one person less who pays for it.
Hey! I wouldn’t count yourself weird just because you like physical media. I’m not the only one who prefers physical media when it comes to games. But personally, I like the disc drive, because I can also watch movies on this console. And it’ll play 4K Blu-ray discs as well. But whatever you do, don’t try to play a CD in it. It won’t work. But personally, when I buy a game, I like to physically have something in return for forking over the money.
7:08 you're not wrong here I was thinking to get a slim or wait for ps5 pro It'll be more expensive with little difference But i was lucky to get my hands on spider mqn 2 limited edition And i got it still in the box Because im working on my house can't wait to place pa5 on my new affordable setup 😅
They almost always outperform in cooling and power usage. Also the slim PS2 had a faster chip, literally, and built in Ethernet. The PS1 slim model had a greatly improved disc drive and faster VRAM, which led to things like higher frame rates in FF9.
I bought a used Ps5 disc of Spider-Man from a bargain bin for $15 that game is $68 to digitally buy from PS store in Canada. Witchers 3 is still $70 and that game is in used bargain bins for $20 everywhere I look. I can go on and on all day how disc games are cheaper to buy than digital .
@@LionelLionel-yc9slword is production is being shifted to the Slim models. The OG one is limited in supply now and depending where you are some will have stock or no stock at all. The slim one is going forward.
On the subject of digital only gaming, I don't mind that at all as gaming on my PC has essentially been that way for years with STEAM, Epic Launcher etc. Only thing I use my PS4 and XB1s optical drives for is playing Blu-Rays if I'm honest, and i buy less of those these days now also. Me and my girlfriend havent made the jump to latest GEN consoles yet but we will, and digital only is most probably the way we will go.

Please remember, if you go digital on a console then thats it. You are locked in a Monopoly. There is no alternative than getting the game directly from Sony to the prices they dictate. You do not have the option of multiple sources like on pc. You either get in on their terms or you don't get it at all. With a disc you still have all the freedom in the world and 9 out of 10 times you get the disc cheaper than the digital Version and that as new, not a used copy.
@@Crashed131963 its to emphasize that discs are cheaper by default. Because before someone else might comment Something about "yeah but only if you buy used" like with basically every other product that is used cheaper than new, i focused on new to get the point across "if you buy new digital or new disc you will always come out as the Winner if you pick the disc Version".
The interesting thing is, that the drive that plays 4K on this, to replace is less then $100?! And you had spit on your lips when you were talking and I never knew why people who does this can’t tell saliva is on their lips or in the corner of their mouths and just keeps on talking. (Here’s a quick tip, rehears this in the mirror BEFORE you shot your next video then see what the world is seeing so you can avoid this) Mahalo for your video!!
The missing grills on the slim compared to the original just makes it look like cheap tat. I don't even own a PS5 yet, still buying the original disc version with darkplates.
When the Disc-less PS5 comes out, it will probably need a "foot" be screwed in onto the left side (bottom of the unit), otherwise the unit will tip over. If you buy the Disc-less version to stand it up the unit is not going to cost you $450, but, rather $480. If you buy after-market covers, and you decide to later on install a disc drive you will probably need to buy new covers.If you put your PS5 behind your TV then it doesn't matter what it looks like, you're not going to be able to see it, nor that one panel is glossy and another is matte, but, installing a controller charging cable could be problematic, as would installing after-market receivers, like BT headphone dongles. So, it may be that the disc version will look better horizontally, and the disc-less version will look better vertically, but that vertical digital-only version is going to cost you $480 and not $450.

When Sony goes bankrup you mean! Its the consumers who decide this at the end of the day. Physical market as a hole are doing well ' Close minded = Physical media are dying " Ability to think gamers " Speak with you're wallet we are the ones who decide this!
I’m all for the concept of digital only. It makes the form factor of consoles slimmer and physically more appealing imho. However not owning out downloads we paid for (obviously games on gamepass or PS+ you don’t own), that’s kinda dealbreaker imho. I don’t want to pay for the cost of a game and not be able to download it down the line because Sony or Microsoft removed it from the games library
I still find it hard to believe that Physical copies of games to be removed from consoles and also I find it hard to believe that Microsoft and Nintendo to copy Sony’s idea with the ps5 slim plus I only recommend the original PlayStation 5 Disc edition then the slim.
The slim I think is a better option because there's actually a liquid metal protector that doesn't let it spill into the test of the console, the original ps5 doesn't have that protection
@@prinstonwilliams7289 the original doesn't have the protection where it can't leak into other parts of the system, that's why thousands of original ps5's have been damaged or destroyed from liquid metal damage, I saw the video on the slim where they put housing around the liquid cooling so it can't leak anywhere else
@@josephhall7317this is not true. There was a tweet from coder that people misunderstood. You only had that Problem if your console had to be fixed and therefore opened and re-sealed. Every normal ps5 that was never opened up did not have that Problem.
@@J.Crime123 I didn't look too much in it but my cousins system got destroyed from the liquid metal, had never had any prior issues with it and that's what the technician told him, so I just did a Google search and read a lot of similar issues

Still not a fan of the cosmetic look or the lack of pre-PS4 backwards compatibility but got the PS5 Slim for Christmas. Easy initial setup but immediately have the downloads stuck in queued problem. Seems like something that should be at the top of Playstation's 'must fix' list. Still looking forward to the exclusive games but hoping for smoother functionality. Some noticeable negatives for now.
I'm a PS5 owner and I love it but, I didn't think that the PS5 could get any uglier but it looks like it has. Jimmy, shame on you for not getting a middle strip from dbrand. The matte black one so Kick-Ass with the black plates. I have Sony black plates and the dbrand middle. I'm hoping that the old style PS5 models stick around for a while because I'm hoping to get my son one within the next 6 months.
@roba168 yea it was a sell out at one point then no store had any in stock so now the slim is here and I got one too... surprised it's a download code and not the physical copy... but it's all good.
As far as video game consoles go, the PlayStation 5 Slim is revolutionary. Remember PC elitists, console gamers haven't had a console where the desk drive was this easy to remove. So for us, it is a big deal. Especially when one considers how expensive a good gaming PC seems to be. I also consider the new feat that you attach to be equally impressive.
@@donaldsalkovick396Who cares about "most players"? Necessity is the mother of invention... It's better to have that option, rather than not have it, and people who want to use it not have that opportunity.
I got my first PS5 the day before thanksgiving and was super excited. Unfortunately they only had the COD bundle with the new PS5 and I do have to agree it’s unfortunate I wasn’t able to grab the Spider-Man one. I’m really not a fan of this COD, I really tried to give it a chance and honestly when I got it, I had not seen any reviews, no insight whatsoever on the game. Now after playing a few hours I can 100% understand why it’s being so heavily ripped apart. It just feels like an unfinished, bare bones, no frills FPS game. Like nothing special at all. The system on the other hand! Loving it! Just sad I’m gonna have to pay the full price for Spider-Man and most likely never even finish the COD.
As original 1200 series and slim has the same 6nm chip, for longevity i think original ps5 is better because it has bigger seatsink, bigger fan so it runs cooler
I am a firm advocate for paying for a disc drive. Gone are the days that it was just included in the rollout price; but to have a game that can and will play 50 yrs from now seems part of buying and ownership of said material. They can, do, and WILL make obsolete these games. Look at Resale of resident evil and final fantasy 7. If anything- they should be $2, but due to having a new generation of gamers, they charge $20-70! For the same game. Now is this pervasive thought that consumers LEASE the content. Sheeple are lining up instead of actually saying F that. If they wanted me to lease a game, the game should be $1 to download with a set price. I feel similarly to televisions- im not dropping a butt-load of money to watch commercials everytime i turn it on, or at intervals of viewing.
If PlayStation removes the disc drive that is going to be a big problem for me. I have been screwed over by PlayStation store too many times because games I bought for PS4 getting removed from the store and I can't redownload them after deleting them to free up some space for new games. You are not buying games from the PlayStation store, you're renting games for an indefinite amount of time. Also, if there is no disc drive it's going to bankrupt GameStop. Sony isn't going to allow a 3 party app store on the PlayStation.
My biggest issue with digital ,which I feel most people forget. Is theres NO value in digital games beyond purchase. So your collection is worthless and once they stop supporting the console. The games may not work.
Picked up a digital edition slim for 400 bucks with no game. Couldn't care about the disks really, and the extra game is paid here instead of being "gifted".
Game stores will cease to exist in the next 2 years. Here in Our country, all game stores are pretty much gone. The only way to buy Physical games is through Online stores.
I've never seen someone truly not care about game preservation and it is beyond my comprehension, if I paid for a game, I want it to be able to work with no problem 15 years later just like my ps3.

Nothing weird about buying games on disc. It's generally cheaper than digital and if you don't like the game you can always sell it. You're probably right that the next generation will be digital only, but for now I'm happy buying discs or at least have the option to.
@LosoBanks_332 ?
@LosoBanks_332 Yes. Why?
@LosoBanks_332 firstly, I've never heard of a 3-year old game being delisted. That's very unusual, but if you own the disc then of course it's still available to play. If you own the digital copy then it should still be available to download, it just won't be available to buy. Secondly, optical drives don't make much noise at all. I have both the PS5 and Xbox Series X and neither of them are particularly loud when playing discs, only when installing the game. Once the game is installed on your SSD it only uses the disc as a key, so you shouldn't hear it much at all.
The bottom line. Wait for the PS5 Pro or enjoy the regular PS5 now at a discounted price for several years. If you wait for the next best thing you will never own a console. Kind of like trying to be the car in first place on the highway.
If the recent controversy with Sony deleting purchased digital items is any indication of the future, I'll be purchasing disks forever
hope you have a lot of space
So people without internet access can’t even use the disc drive because it has to be registered online to the console! That’s insane bullshit! Lol
Not true. I play ps4 games on it offline
Just the first time I believe
If you don't have WiFi why the fuck would you get a console anyway how would you do the updates 😂😂
You only do it once
I did that@Serathera
Also, Jimi, the term "digital only" is just code for what it really means i.e. "rental only".
A person would be crazy to get the digital Ps5.
I bought Spiderman Miles Morales from a used disc bargain bin for $20 that game in Canada is $89 to get from PS Store digitally .
Sony still want $79 for Witcher 3 , that disc sells for $15 in bargain bins .
Sony can just as easily invalidate your disc remotely through an update.
There is no difference between physical and digital when it comes to theoretical longevity. When you buy physical it plainly states you are only buying a license to play the game.
@@joemamr710 Yeah, but somebody new can come along and make a console where you don't have to connect to the internet. It's a gap in the market. Just because Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo aren't interested doesn't necessarily mean the end of physical. Maybe Sega might get into(off line) consoles again? Unlikely but you never know. The PlayStation came from out of nowhere remember.
@@Sigurd-r5 They can't realistically though, because developers and publishers won't want to make games for such a system because piracy will be too high.
The problem with the ps5 slim disc edition, is the fact that you need to conect to sony servers to be able to use it, and if you reset your console, you have to pair the disc drive again, because when the servers are shutdown is not gonna be able to use the disc drive.
My brother just bought one after holding on to his ps4. He can use the disc drive offline after it has been paired in the initial setup.
@PrettySavage22 try to use it after reseting the console and not connecting it on the internet .
@@checob224there could be a firmware update addressing the issue once they take the servers down. Just wait and see.
@@gailenrique2804 that could be a possibility
@@gailenrique2804in that regard i would rather look for an old model than praying and hoping they do Something, being dependent, completly relying on their benevolence.
The old PS5 disc version works out of the box without an online connection. The new slim requires an internet connection. That makes the answer an easy one for those who care about making sure their systems can keep working regardless whether Sony's server is working.
What? You just need internet connection once for the initial connection, not every time you start it up
The point is why have it all? Sony could have already paired the device out of the box for the disc based console but it didn't. Btw, if you ever need to reset it (let's say to sell it), you need internet again. It may lool like a small thing, but if Sony decides to pull the plug on the ping needed, that would obliterate the slim's disc consoles.
So if internet is down for instance, the original ps5 can still be used but the new slim one can’t??
@@epic2043you can use the console you can’t use the disk if you don’t update the firmware for the first time, then it doesn’t matter if you got internet or not
You have internet in your phone, literally. No excuses here. Everyone owns at least a smartphone these days...
Here in the uk they have just reduced the slim ps5 to £419 and I managed to find the original console last night for £369 so after watching this video, I’m glad I went for the original.
Another thing. Do we even really own our console when you have to go online to even be able to play any games at all! Including offline games. You literally have to go online before you can switch to offline. This is crazy!
do you not have internet, my guy?
@@TheAbandonedAccount7 Yes I do. Broadband. But I don't want to have to go onto the internet to play video games. I'd like some company to come out with a new games console that's offline/ physical games only!
Cheers!
I think paying for online gaming is B.S you already have to pat for internet for your dam TV watching an have to pay Sony or shit box to play online cash crab but we all do it
When you pay your internet that just goes to your ISP.
None of it goes to pay for the bandwidth to run game servers and online infrastructure, which is a permanent recurring cost for the manufacturer.
Not weird to purchase physical games at all. Last week my internet service has being going out and I couldn't play my digital games.

Not wired at all unless you want to play a game without any updates that's completely unplayable. If you have games like Fallout 4, Fallout 76, GTA V, The Witcher 3, or Cyberpunk 2077 without internet access to update the games it will be horrible. I know that might be a long time from now but PS3 is practically offline now. So my copy of Fallout New Vegas is not playable on there.
I got it finally just two days ago and yes even though I have at least 50 games purchased and stored digitally I still have (and most likely will continue to buy) discs so I got the slim with the disc option. Also there’s always the chance of there being issues with not getting the games you bought digitally or some kind of headaches hassles and horseshit that Sony is good for. As long as I have some games on disc(and those will definitely include a good deal of favourites) I know I’m ok. On another note I gotta say I’m really loving how quiet this thing is.. couldn’t hear it when I started it up and the loading time is almost nonexistent. Not to mention downloading! I transferred from my 4 and downloaded AC Valhalla in minutes. On my 4 that all would’ve taken a couple hours.…Thanks for making this video and letting us all know about taking it apart and the extra game drive situation. I guess that’ll help with maintenance and cleaning for OCD people like me.
Discless consoles are a false economy and are bad for the future/game preservation.
It is a big deal for a few reasons. We need to fight back against digital only and pay that bit for extra.... Most make the slight price difference back quickly anyway.
We will own nothing and be happy...
Nintendo will get everyone on the memory card bandwagon. Cards will only be readable by the machine not by a PC or a mac to make cloning or copying impossible.
@@gailenrique2804changing the medium has never stopped people before. Then there will just adapters build for the new medium that people order and do it anyway. That was never a deterrent.
Bad for economy :) As if there is a working system in place.It's all made up by the government man.They simply can add money to their bank account out of thin air and yet majority of people still believe a working fair system is in place.
What I like about the removable disc drive is if it ever stops working - I can buy another disc drive and just replace it
They both nice consul, but the OG looks better. No complaints on a big unit. Can’t please everybody.
Bought a slim digital not knowing anything other than how I was just happy to get a PS5. Along with it I ordered three games (old school disc version). Spent way too much time trying to find where to put the disc in the system. haha. Felt old. Learned that I have to guy the add-on disc drive which I'm happy to do since I'm old school. Thought I had made a huge mistake though before I knew the add-on was a thing.. ;)
Ima definitely get this with the Spider-Man 2 bundle🔥🔥🔥
Hi Jimmy. I listen to you and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to get a PS5 or PS5 Slim at all. I'm ALL IN on XBox. I have a gaming PC and every model of XBox that has ever come out, OG, 360, One, One S, One X, Series S and Series X. I also have an ROG Ally and am loving the whole XBox echo system. If I want to play Play Station games I go to my Steam account on my PC and go for it. You are experiencing with your PS Eco System what I and many other XBox users out there experience and that is the whole game save transfer and games with your account, etc, following you to your different devices. I LOVE that aspect of what XBox has done. So, kudos to you for seeing that in the PlayStation Eco system. It's great. I respect what PlayStation has done for gamers over the years and started with an Original PlayStation back in the day. I moved to XBox because, at the time, I was taking Microsoft courses for computers and such and wanted to see what Microsoft would do with gaming and boy have I not been disappointed much. (SOME but not much). I encourage you to keep going. Gamers deserve to have more than one side of the gaming community and story and you and Ray (at XBox Ready) tell that full story from both ends of the spectrum. SHAPE ON, Man!!!! :D
Disc drives are a big deal! I live in a rural area with not so great internet. I am limited to 250 GB a month and download speeds are slow. I can watch videos online at lower qualities but online games are a no go. If I buy a digital game or there is a big update it can take up to THREE DAYS to download (Looking at you Master Chief Collection). Also I have been skeptical of digital stuff ever since my Xbox 360 red lighted and I couldn't log into my account so all of my games, DLCs and progress were lost. To this day I still buy CDs, DVDs, and physical games unless digital is the only option (Old or Indie games).
Sounds like you need to move 🤣
11/10/23 I still am using my PS4 with a disc drive an added external 2tb SSD external drive upgrade that still meets my needs for a gaming console. I still prefer the consoles with the disc drive since the blue disc drive of the PS3 for watching Blue Ray disc movies and playing disc game without filling up your hard drive on games you only played occasionally. I would upgrade to the PS5 slim with disc drive when I see more value games that I like playing, right now it seem like slim picking on what is offered on new PS5 games. And hopefully a PS software update Sony will figure a way to emulate the PS3 so it be backward compatible, like some games on the Xbox S are capable of now. I'm running out of room and connections to set up all the counsels and games to my TV.
Yes! I'm waiting for a PlayStation 5 pro model myself. I'm still using my PS4 happily. 5TB high speed external, 1tb internal SSD. It's my baby
What modern game runs from the disc?
They make hdmi switchers where you plug 3 devices and theres a switch on top to switch between them. Look it up online.
Any good ps3 game was ported to the ps4 a long time ago.
The ps5 plays all 3,454 ps4 games that were made .
My Ps4 disc of Jedi Fallen Order still had to download much of the game from Sony store .
The disc it just a proof of purchase now .
@@gailenrique2804 I have a lot of great PS3 game discs that I would love to be able to play on my PS4 could you put more info without having to use a PS3, I know Sony used a different processor in the PS3 that was hard for game developers to program for.
So the bad thing when they go disckless is you can't play DVD on your new console
With the slim you can buy the drive for $79.
@gailenrique2804 I ment for the future.
First off the day sony stops making playstation with disc drives is the day i no longer will buy another playstation. Because there's one thing i hate and despise is digital anything. A friend of mine already had a ps5 with the disc drive but given his job and he travels alot he finally had down time to try to set up his new ps5 there's only one problem he forgot to think about his tv stand like will it fit under it spoiler alert: it did so he had to recently to buy the slim digital version. Oh in case anyone is wondering about the ps5 disc version he was gracious enough to sell it to me. 😁 And if preferring a disc gaming console over a digital gaming console makes me a weirdo I'll glady and proudly be a weirdo. Weirdos unite! 😂
Me too.. but whether we like it or not, all physical media is slowly going away towards a digital future. Games, movies, music, etc.
A lot of people seem to think you need to pair the disk drive more than once, when you add storage it checks for everything to make sure it’s working other than that you never have to do it again
You lost me at "weirdo that still buy discs" and "not a big deal losing access to disc drives".
Yea, It's kind of a big fucking deal.💯
I think it’s suspicious that the new design is focused around the disc drive since my original design ps5 has developed a disk read error. I’m sure that issue has been buried due to the redesign, but I’m sure it’s pretty common that the original design having a disc read error due to faulty components.
I find it laughable that Sony is talking about going digital considering that they had invented the Blu-Ray player back in the 90s and won against the HD DVD player. How times have changed.
Can you play 4K disc movies on PS5 offline or no?
I like the slim and the way it look. But there's something I kind of get it about why some people hate it, and I'm talking about the noise of the fan that is loud because there's a video showing about it. I got the original disc edition and so far it's still in good condition when I bought it four months ago.
I got a slim and it's barely even noticeable. And I played a PS4 game on a disc to boot.
I can't even hear the slim at all even if I put my ear up to it it's quit af
Like the two above me have said already - I have a slim also and it’s quiet.
@@tor3699Ya because that guy had it in a horrible spot where the back couldn’t breathe lol
My slim gets pretty hot and sometimes loud with occasional ticks, should I exchange it for a new console? I have it in a spacious area, not smothered in a cabinet.
Some people don't have internet, they just want to game
I just bought the ps5 slim never had the original and i literally thought the slim was huge so i cant imagine how big the regular ps5 is in person
This is the size that should have originally released in 2020.
They also aren’t saying how the ssd went from 8 nand packages to 4. Halving throughput
explain
The more packages you have the more things you can do at that the same time because the controller bounces data from chip to chip to chip at the same time. The fewer flash chips you have the lower the ability to do that. Ie lower throughput because you have less ability to distribute work.
Love your videos.Very informative.
I have gave some of your videos some very rough reviews and I really like this one
Reviews I have seen say the PS slim is actually a lot louder because of the fan noise. Some people have had to return then as it is so loud.
Juts got my hands on my first PS5 Slim like a month or so ago, and im loving it, i will buy the disk drive cuz i own most of my PS4 games physically and want to replay some of them enhanced 😄
Im calling it now, the ps5 pro will not have a disc drive, and its bc xboxs mid gen refresh is going to be all digital.
You should always buy the disc edition.. more options to buy only helps us as consumers..
Im sry I think the slim looks better lol. Idk how anybody likes the bulkier version.
Yesssss someone who likes the design
Same here
Thought I was crazy for thinking that
Nah don't be sorry but it doesn't imo
Everybody is entitled to their own opinions.
People complaining about the XboxOne made digital games worse. When the XB1 was first announced Microsoft had this whole plan to make digital games sellable/transferable. But people complained about that plan because they wanted traditional disc games and didn’t like the always online requirement so they scrapped it. But now we’re all transitioning to digital anyway, but without the ability to sell/transfer those games. Had Microsoft followed through with their original plan, and Sony eventually followed suit, we’d have a system where we could actually sell digital games that we're no longer playing, instead of just having them stuck in our digital libraries indefinitely. I have dozens of digital games that I've played and will never play again that I wouldn’t mind selling for a few bucks.
Thanks. I'm shopping for my first PS5. This was helpful, and as always... DISK DRIVE!!!
Where I’m from they keep on selling out fast once there in stock. That is why I went ahead and bought the Ps5 Slim Cod Modern warfare 3 bundle and also added 2T of extra storage. 😎👍🏻
Awesome video Man 🤙🤙🤙✌️✌️
Getting rid of disc would KILL the used aftermarket. I pray they NEVER do that..Would be a middle finger to customers because not everybody has $70 on drop day to buy some ppl have to wait or rent games.
I admit I definitely want the OG PS5 console so badly because it’s bigger I love big box gaming consoles, since PlayStation has stopped making PS5 OG consoles, I’m go with the slim this Christmas I’ll be getting PS5 slim along with disk drive as an accessory I truly can’t wait.
THE HANG UP SCREEN AFTER OS UPDATE IS A BUG. HOLD THE POWER BUTTON OR YOULL BE STAYING THERE FOR EVER.
THE HANG UP IS A BUG. ONCE THERE. JUST HOLD POWER YOU WONT DAMAGE SOFTWARE.
SONY NEEDS TO COME OUT WITH AN UPDATE FOR THIS.
Just picked up the slim disc with one controller for 370, not bad. Planned on waiting for the pro but i bet it's going to be at least 600
Biggest issue downloading the game when u have a physical copy is more storage , vs less room even 2TB doesn’t download enough games vs have to physical copy
I've seen where people are saying the fan is horrible on the slim. Have you heard or seen anything about this?
I like the look of the slim over the original
Same 😂
Losing the disc drive would be the absolut K.O. criteria for me.
If i can not play modern games outside of getting them digital then i won't play them at all.
And in case if i ever would want to play them, i would sail the high seas before i even spend one cent in supporting such a system.
It wouldn't make a difference to the producer. Not playing or sailing would result in the same Outcome of them not getting paid and if they made that conscious decision to go that route then that clearly means they don't care if they have one person less who pays for it.
the biggest crime was them removing the handle on top. it was such a pain in the ass to take out the box and put it back in
I was think the same. Just brought one on Monday and I was wondering why it didn’t have a handle.
Hey! I wouldn’t count yourself weird just because you like physical media. I’m not the only one who prefers physical media when it comes to games. But personally, I like the disc drive, because I can also watch movies on this console. And it’ll play 4K Blu-ray discs as well. But whatever you do, don’t try to play a CD in it. It won’t work. But personally, when I buy a game, I like to physically have something in return for forking over the money.
I still don't get why digital games cost more. It only takes a few games to make the dic version value for money.
Because the digital games are set in a Monopoly. Thats why. No competition to Challenge the prices.
I a
Have regular ps5 and I love it but im definitely buying a ps5 pro when it comes out
7:08 you're not wrong here
I was thinking to get a slim or wait for ps5 pro
It'll be more expensive with little difference
But i was lucky to get my hands on spider mqn 2 limited edition
And i got it still in the box
Because im working on my house can't wait to place pa5 on my new affordable setup 😅
The PS slims never outperforms the original PS. It is just smaller .
I don't live in a shoe box so even if my Ps5 was larger it would easily fit .
right... thats why you always hear people complaining about their "jet engine" ps4, meanwhile my slim runs just fine
They almost always outperform in cooling and power usage.
Also the slim PS2 had a faster chip, literally, and built in Ethernet. The PS1 slim model had a greatly improved disc drive and faster VRAM, which led to things like higher frame rates in FF9.
Buying physical disc games doesn't make you a weirdo, it's actually normal.
I have OG PS5 with disc. I only use the disc drive to watch my collection of DVDs whenever internet goes out. I game strictly digital.
I bought a used Ps5 disc of Spider-Man from a bargain bin for $15 that game is $68 to digitally buy from PS store in Canada.
Witchers 3 is still $70 and that game is in used bargain bins for $20 everywhere I look.

On the subject of digital only gaming, I don't mind that at all as gaming on my PC has essentially been that way for years with STEAM, Epic Launcher etc. Only thing I use my PS4 and XB1s optical drives for is playing Blu-Rays if I'm honest, and i buy less of those these days now also. Me and my girlfriend havent made the jump to latest GEN consoles yet but we will, and digital only is most probably the way we will go.

Please remember, if you go digital on a console then thats it. You are locked in a Monopoly. There is no alternative than getting the game directly from Sony to the prices they dictate. You do not have the option of multiple sources like on pc. You either get in on their terms or you don't get it at all.

GameStop is not in Ireland anymore, the only store over here now is Smith's Toy Store.
When the Disc-less PS5 comes out, it will probably need a "foot" be screwed in onto the left side (bottom of the unit), otherwise the unit will tip over. If you buy the Disc-less version to stand it up the unit is not going to cost you $450, but, rather $480. If you buy after-market covers, and you decide to later on install a disc drive you will probably need to buy new covers.If you put your PS5 behind your TV then it doesn't matter what it looks like, you're not going to be able to see it, nor that one panel is glossy and another is matte, but, installing a controller charging cable could be problematic, as would installing after-market receivers, like BT headphone dongles. So, it may be that the disc version will look better horizontally, and the disc-less version will look better vertically, but that vertical digital-only version is going to cost you $480 and not $450.

I’m all for the concept of digital only. It makes the form factor of consoles slimmer and physically more appealing imho. However not owning out downloads we paid for (obviously games on gamepass or PS+ you don’t own), that’s kinda dealbreaker imho. I don’t want to pay for the cost of a game and not be able to download it down the line because Sony or Microsoft removed it from the games library
Actually if you do it carefully the hooks won’t scratch the inside. I might be in the minority but I think the bigger ps5 looks much better
Based on what exactly?
I still find it hard to believe that Physical copies of games to be removed from consoles and also I find it hard to believe that Microsoft and Nintendo to copy Sony’s idea with the ps5 slim plus I only recommend the original PlayStation 5 Disc edition then the slim.

The Slim looks so small I like it and will pick one up next month with Spiderman 2 Can't wait 😂
Still not a fan of the cosmetic look or the lack of pre-PS4 backwards compatibility but got the PS5 Slim for Christmas. Easy initial setup but immediately have the downloads stuck in queued problem. Seems like something that should be at the top of Playstation's 'must fix' list. Still looking forward to the exclusive games but hoping for smoother functionality. Some noticeable negatives for now.
I'm a PS5 owner and I love it but, I didn't think that the PS5 could get any uglier but it looks like it has.

As far as video game consoles go, the PlayStation 5 Slim is revolutionary.
Remember PC elitists, console gamers haven't had a console where the desk drive was this easy to remove. So for us, it is a big deal. Especially when one considers how expensive a good gaming PC seems to be.

I got my first PS5 the day before thanksgiving and was super excited. Unfortunately they only had the COD bundle with the new PS5 and I do have to agree it’s unfortunate I wasn’t able to grab the Spider-Man one. I’m really not a fan of this COD, I really tried to give it a chance and honestly when I got it, I had not seen any reviews, no insight whatsoever on the game. Now after playing a few hours I can 100% understand why it’s being so heavily ripped apart. It just feels like an unfinished, bare bones, no frills FPS game. Like nothing special at all. The system on the other hand! Loving it! Just sad I’m gonna have to pay the full price for Spider-Man and most likely never even finish the COD.
Keep the unit and hopefully you kept all the box and packaging.

@@PhillipLemmon Yeah I got my Ps5 with god of war and it was a download code sadly. Sometimes I forget I have it lol
As original 1200 series and slim has the same 6nm chip, for longevity i think original ps5 is better because it has bigger seatsink, bigger fan so it runs cooler
There is a reason PC gamers have the larger towers .
It's not cooler than the slim because the "slim" has 19 blades fan instead of a 17 like the OG
the disc drive looks so out of place in slim version, i wish they integrated it better. Full glossy plates would look better imo
ohhh not full glossy plates, That would scratch by breathing the wrong way. Hated the Xbox one for that [2013]
Its ok bro im weird to then as I do try and prefer to buy all my games on disc 1st
I mean its literally the size it should have been from launch. Now Dbrand just needs to hurry up and launch their dark plates for it.
I am a firm advocate for paying for a disc drive. Gone are the days that it was just included in the rollout price; but to have a game that can and will play 50 yrs from now seems part of buying and ownership of said material.
They can, do, and WILL make obsolete these games. Look at Resale of resident evil and final fantasy 7. If anything- they should be $2, but due to having a new generation of gamers, they charge $20-70! For the same game.
Now is this pervasive thought that consumers LEASE the content. Sheeple are lining up instead of actually saying F that. If they wanted me to lease a game, the game should be $1 to download with a set price. I feel similarly to televisions- im not dropping a butt-load of money to watch commercials everytime i turn it on, or at intervals of viewing.
I love PS. But for some reason I'm kinda starting to feel the fatigue of the brand. Simular to how I felt with the Xbox One. This is a pass for me
If PlayStation removes the disc drive that is going to be a big problem for me. I have been screwed over by PlayStation store too many times because games I bought for PS4 getting removed from the store and I can't redownload them after deleting them to free up some space for new games. You are not buying games from the PlayStation store, you're renting games for an indefinite amount of time.
Also, if there is no disc drive it's going to bankrupt GameStop. Sony isn't going to allow a 3 party app store on the PlayStation.
Got me my slim next to my OG.😎👌🏻
🤦♂️
@@chvIrythat's all I can think too when I see these types of comments
So….., the Slim has a cheaper and noisier is drive. Its just smaller but not better.
My biggest issue with digital ,which I feel most people forget. Is theres NO value in digital games beyond purchase. So your collection is worthless and once they stop supporting the console. The games may not work.
PS5 Pro is coming later this year supposedly at least doubling TFLOPs of PS5
It would be nice if the PS6 has a detachable disc drive and FULL BACKWORDS COMPATABILITY-PS1,PS2,PS3,PS4,PS5 for disc playback, no digital only
Dam to put all that backwards compatibility the PS6 is going to be $800
@@SteddiFLo I sure hope not lol, I don't think it will ever happen, just wish it would.
@kennyjurgens9084 you got to put that PS3 hateful Cell Processor into the system as well the X86. That going to make the PS6 huge and very hot
@@SteddiFLo Yes sir
@@SteddiFLoBUT...you could save money on heating in the winter.
Worrying about scratching the chassis of the PS5 like I'm going to be staring at it with the plates off.
Some people are hyped for a smaller cheaper to produce version of a system they already own. Strange
Picked up a digital edition slim for 400 bucks with no game. Couldn't care about the disks really, and the extra game is paid here instead of being "gifted".
Bro said digital is better and called physical buyers weirdos. YOU ARE SONYS MICROTRANSACTION WARRIOR.
So what Happen to Game Stop if the next Gen Don't Received Disc.
Game stores will cease to exist in the next 2 years. Here in Our country, all game stores are pretty much gone. The only way to buy Physical games is through Online stores.
@@DeadPhoenix86DP True
Weirdo for buying discs that is the best way because you can sell them, trade them in or display them.
