    Slim:
    I’ve always had a soft spot for Sony’s refreshed, slimmed-down consoles ever since the adorable PS One. All the Sony consoles I’ve owned were launch versions that are bigger and goofier-looking than their eventual redesigns - giving me massive FOMO - but I think my love affair for “slim” PlayStations is now at an end with the new PlayStation 5.
    If there’s ever been a PlayStation in need of a glow-up, it’s the PS5. Sony’s white-and-black obelisk is a gargantuan console with a design that you learn to live with more than you grow to love. The thought of course-correcting the PS5 design like Sony did with the George Foreman grill-style PlayStation 3 should be a slam dunk, but what we’ve now got with the $499.99 new PlayStation 5 and $449.99 new PlayStation 5 Digital Edition are some weird half-measures.
    The PlayStation 5 slim sitting on a white surface with a blue backlight.
    1/5At least from some angles, you don’t notice those awkward little feet as much.
    Design-wise, the new “slim” PS5 is indeed smaller. Sony says it’s been reduced in volume by “more than 30 percent,” but up close and in person, I alternate between feelings of “Oh yeah, that’s much smaller” to “Okay, it’s smaller… but it’s still a big boi!” The swooping curves and contours of the new PS5 can have you changing your opinion on its design on a minute-to-minute basis depending on what angle you’re viewing it from. It’s a byproduct of such a fussy and busy (and frankly, kind of ugly) design.

    Where to preorder Sony’s Pulse Explore earbuds and Pulse Elite headset
    The slim looks more refined than its bigger, clunkier older sibling thanks to its shorter white covers, concave top curve, and panel lines cutting across its sides that divide shiny and matte finishes. However, the new PS5 also makes some really strange design decisions: the disc drive looks even more like a strange growth jutting out of the console’s side, the lack of vent fins at the top makes its gaps look prototype-ish or incomplete, and the cat ear-shaped feet for propping it up horizontally are a joke for an included “stand.” The console stands vertically on its own, though, if you want more peace of mind that it won’t tip over, the vertical stand is now an additional purchase for $29.99. (The original PS5 had a convertible stand for both horizontal and vertical positions.)

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.

    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! 😂

    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.

      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.

    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).

    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

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 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.

    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.

      Its the consumers who decide this at the end of the day.

      Close minded =

    Smaller , lighter , quieter , uses less power and has more memory. Also comes with gen 2 controller. Definitely a big difference.

    So, taking out your internal SSD card and putting it into the new console, it formatted and deleted all your saved games, etc?

    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]

    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.
      It will become a collectable item in the near future.
