Yeah, just don't pull it. It's not stable with the stand anyway. It wobbles even easier. It's really, really silly that this console "can't" hold a steady position in any alignment at all, isn't it? First of all, I don't understand why Sony made the BD drive at the "bottom". They really invested too much thought to rip off the design of Xbox 360. And my God, it's huge. It's way bigger than the original Xbox from 2001.

@@chopx-nick5116 wait so i need to wait 3 years to get the new version of the console??? I thought i have to wait till next year, so what I should do? to buy the ps5 now or to wait 3 years? cuz man i cant wait too much.
Also, one of the most important thing, if you use the stand when the ps5 is in vertical position you can see that at the bottom of the console there is some sort of grids that allow to your ps5 a correct and fluent way out for hot air. If you don't use the base you may find yourself having the console overheated as you have blocked the passage for the air. Sorry for my english but i wanted to let everyone know this problem.
I like how you completely overlooked some of the air intake holes on the bottom, which without the stand would be blocked but the stand gives it almost and extra inch of height in breathing room.
@@MS_Astro it actually does block the vents on the bottom, when I got mine I was putting the stand and noticed how much it actually blocked so decided not to.
@@AndrewB23 I would rather give it more clearance than the tiny bit the shell provides without it. Even graphics cards sometimes have a shroud that cover some airflow, but if the air pressure is good then it’s fine. Air pressure matters a lot, especially in things like computer cases and server rooms and the PS5 is designed to take more airflow from the back, not the bottom because the exhaust are on the wings up top. The PSU breathes thru the bottom, but it doesn’t generate much heat.
@rory turbine Are you kidding me? If no one asked, then nobody would comment anything on any video. If no one asked, this world wouldn't have any conversation. People talking when no one asked is how people learn.
Facts bro. I was freaking out a lil bit. Took me about 15 minutes to find it. N I’m not even sure the book tells u to turn the base to reveal the screw.
This is one of the most important tips for the PS5. I didn’t realize this until I setup my second PS5 horizontally. After reading the directions, I noticed you needed it for vertical too, because it provides grip. Tip, use a popsicle stick to help remove the screw to avoid breaking the clip. It doesn’t take much force, just a little leverage.
@John Bonilla I've seen plenty in stock at game also other stores but they only allow the purchase of one per household whereas playstation direct allows two.
Nope, air comes in through the vents at the front of the console where it is wider and exhausts out of the back, it's nearly impossible to choke the PS5's airflow positioning it.
There is air coming out from the botton and it is not chilled air. It is warm. Warm enough to leviate the PS or using the stand to let it have breathing room. I leviated it ~2-3cm and the place beneath it gets really warmed up.
@@rocketracer111 the power supply has its own fan. This thing is built like a computer. That tiny little amount of heat that comes out the bottom is meaningless
@@Chimera_Photography it is not much. Yes. But enough for me to have it have some room to breath. :) I might traumatized myself with an old i7-3960X overclocked to 4,8Ghz which turned out to be a room heater with a powerdraw of 300w cpu alone...🤦🏻♂️😆

@@unbreakableironman I have mine on it's side. Turns out the unit I have under the T.V. means it would be too tall to stand up. lol. Have you completed Astro yet? :D
I had my PS5 for nealy a month now and suddenly stumbled upon this video. Needless to say i never knew the stand could be used vertically so never used it until now. Thanks!
I mean I don't care if people don't use the stand, its their own expensive mistake, I just don't want to hear them complain when something goes wrong that could've been prevented by using the stand lol
@@AndrewB23 I own one too, if you don’t use the stand it wobbles and there’s likes no difference with the air flow, with or without it the bottom is still on the ground
@@TheArtOfMind I’ll be laying mine down because of the air intake holes and Because I’ve done it with the PS4 I also have enough space for it but if you don’t have space obviously put it up vertically the downside is no air intakes at the bottom
After using mine for a few hours I can say that while standing it up may make that aspect more stable on the bottom of the console there ARE places where hot escapes and the stand DOES cover them.
I was hesitant in using the little dock since I was going to have the system in the vertical position but there were reasons that prompted me to use it. One, I heard that it's better for ventilation however I might've mistaken it for the horizontal position. Two, I have a cat that gets the zoomies in the middle of the night so I decided to place it on. It wasn't until after I installed it that I noticed it had rubber on the bottom. So grateful that Sony put that there
I think it is even more important to keep the gap for the airflow. The air will be sucked in from the bottom and blown out through the top. If you put the PS5 vertically without the stand you nearly close the gap, means the fans cannot suck in the air as they should.
I mean they are both incredibly important reasons to put the stand on. Because if the console tips over while its running and possibly even fall off of a table, It would be completely slugged.
It is better to use the PS5 laid down since the bottom of the ps5 has important fans as you can see in this video. The stand will endanger your PS5 to overheating, it looks better but just don’t do it. (The fans at the bottom will normally head up more than any other)
I didn't realize the stand had a spot for the screw cap. I just put mine in a ziploc back and put it back in the box since I never throw my console boxes away. Thanks for tip!
When I 1st got mine out I never thought that the stand was unimportant. Weird how some did. One piece of the flat surface covers more surface area than the slimmer portion. Already that sounds off warning bells to me and it's a disaster waiting to happen. Not going to lie this the 2nd console I believe to have a natural look when positioned vertically. Like it fits the mood it sets. The first being the Wii. Nintendo was ahead of the times with their design. And it's a mini powerhouse.
Another thing. The stand helps with air flow when its vertical. Notice that there are vents at the bottom of the PS5? That helps circulate the air becuse if you noticed the vents on the back all slant down. So the hot air coming out the back goes down. The vents at the bottom brings in cool air.
I really need a question awnsered, I am getting my ps5 tomorrow and I am going to transfer my stuff from my PS4 what do I do with my capture gallery I don't want to lose it, will it transfer over to my ps5 somehow thanks!!!
@Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West because there is too high of a demand. If there wasn’t a lot of people would be able to get one. Well a lot of people have some but it’s still not enough
@Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West Well I secured one by preordering the moment they opened and by furiously refreshing the browser. That's what you gotta do nowadays
Took me min to get figure out how to stand mine but I’m amazed in how much details they’ve added. Rotating the stand to reveal a screw felt like some Uncharted shit lol. But the fact that they did that to ensure that the screw go missing and have a place holder for the screw cap from the bottom of the PS5 really felt cool. t’s a small detail but even the smallest details count. I really appreciated that.
I think you tube was listening. All day I was talking about using my stand and trying to find a video but I never bothered to even look. I open the app just now. Boom lol. This video. Perfect. Good looks
Ok, as far as cooling, let's see some temps posted with and without the stand. I definitely agree that the stand does in fact add some stability but I would be curious if cooling suffers without the stand.
@Champion Person 🤔🤔Does it really take that long ? Anyway I don't care I will play PS4 for the next few years...playing PS games because it's been exactly 1½ years since I purchased PS4
Not gonna lie I have mine ps5 vertical I just had someone some how trip over the controller charging cord everything that was next to the PlayStation five fell off the table besides the PlayStation five that thing didn’t tip over all it did was move it around were it was facing Which is crazy and I’m glad it happened because now how it’s facing looks a lot more better
Might be due to the mounting spot of the actual hole in the system. Or maybe it has to do with how the stand is designed to accommodate the system with the angles and slots
I've seen a lot of videos where people are using the stand and it looks totally out of place, like it shouldn't go with the PS5. But I think that's because you see a lot of distance shots, showcasing the console. But you showed a lot of close ups in this video and you've proved 2 things about the stand itself. 1: it's not out of place 2: it's a necessity, not a waste of space
When I set mine up last week I didn’t even use the vertical stand and I still don’t use it it’s laying horizontally as of right now and will always be horizontal. I got a disc console at Walmart last week it was a bundle with Horizon Forbidden West which I already own so I gave the digital voucher to the Walmart salesman since he was awesome and helped me out with any questions I had.

This strikes me as the same as a “Warning: contents may be HOT” on the McDonald’s coffee cup lids. But alas, common sense isn’t very common.
lmfao 🤣🤣
Hence why the term "common sense" should not exist there really is no such thing
It blocks the bottom vents so I don't use my stand
I think it is even more important to keep the gap for the airflow. The air will be sucked in from the bottom and blown out through the top. If you put the PS5 vertically without the stand you nearly close the gap, means the fans cannot suck in the air as they should.
I mean they are both incredibly important reasons to put the stand on. Because if the console tips over while its running and possibly even fall off of a table, It would be completely slugged.
My ps5 is going to arrive a few hours from now, am already gonna take care of her properly and treat her right as she deserve
It is better to use the PS5 laid down since the bottom of the ps5 has important fans as you can see in this video. The stand will endanger your PS5 to overheating, it looks better but just don’t do it. (The fans at the bottom will normally head up more than any other)
“Don’t do this to your ps5”
Me: *Bold of you to assume I own one*
Hopefully I remember this in 2026 when I can finally afford the damn thing
Sticker shock for me was the price for more memory. I'm prolly looking at $450 to add 2 TB to the ssd. That's almost another damn unit
@@CrystalDSmith you gonna download the whole ps store?
@@mirzasepic8643 lmao. I might, yes
Seeing this PS5’s videos knowing they can apply to me since I managed to get one makes me feel so special.
I don't have a PS5 but that will help me because with siblings running around it will not easily tip it over.😁Thanks that was helpful
Use the horizontal way instead of vertical if you can so it is more secure in my opinion.
@@PriestSecret If you have the stand, vertical is still pretty secure.
You also get generally better airflow
@@insanitylol probably for the first time i might have a Playstation vertical.
I've been waiting for this...
I’ve been waiting for this longer
1:19 I can feel your pain
I didn't realize the stand had a spot for the screw cap. I just put mine in a ziploc back and put it back in the box since I never throw my console boxes away. Thanks for tip!
I'm still waiting for the over heat or yellow light of death.
Once thats sorted I shall consider the getting the ps5.
Mine doesn't even get warm, but it's out in the open. The fan isn't loud either. It already seems like a big improvement over the PS 4 in that regard
Crystal D Smith yep
When I 1st got mine out I never thought that the stand was unimportant. Weird how some did. One piece of the flat surface covers more surface area than the slimmer portion. Already that sounds off warning bells to me and it's a disaster waiting to happen. Not going to lie this the 2nd console I believe to have a natural look when positioned vertically. Like it fits the mood it sets. The first being the Wii. Nintendo was ahead of the times with their design. And it's a mini powerhouse.
Ahead of its time people just dumm when I here this
"It's litteraly that simple."
Another thing. The stand helps with air flow when its vertical. Notice that there are vents at the bottom of the PS5? That helps circulate the air becuse if you noticed the vents on the back all slant down. So the hot air coming out the back goes down. The vents at the bottom brings in cool air.
Love the people around you, and cherish the moments you get to spend with them
¡Peace, love and more life to everyone out there, stay safe! 👊🏿🙏🏿❤️
What does this have to do with the video?
Step one : Find a humble Working place
Step two : Don’t get fired until the end of the month
Step three: Have more money
Step four: Keep working for a couple of years untill you have enough money to buy the PS5
Oh my gosh! Thank you, this was so helpful. Oh wait.. I don’t have a PS5.
We are literally going to get PS5’s when the PS6 comes out. Same with XBOX.
Thanks for posting this. The piece is in a place in the box that I didn't know could be opened. Thumbs up!
I really need a question awnsered, I am getting my ps5 tomorrow and I am going to transfer my stuff from my PS4 what do I do with my capture gallery I don't want to lose it, will it transfer over to my ps5 somehow thanks!!!
Try to stick a USB on the ps4 and transfer the capture gallery on the USB.
I finally got one🙌 thank god
Never thought I would’ve got it this soon🤣
Everyone: wow the ps5
Me: GLASSCOCK?!
I'm not even here for the video. Scrolling comments wondering if anyone's mentioning his name. 🤣
@@johnnygreco2175 Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well.
There’s a road near me called glasscock.
Literally this first page, first step, first instruction in the PS5 Installation Guide provided with the system.
If I broke that little tab that holds screw i would be like! "Noooooooo"😂
The directions say to put the screw cap in there by the way 👍
Yes, I'm sure it's surprising that someone read the booklet 😂
Me who can’t afford a ps5:
“Interesting...”
Cries in broken ps4, laptop with a broken screen, and broken earphones
Lmao poor as losers. it's so fun playing demon souls
I feel you bro 😁
Who else just ordered a PS5 and is watching a bunch of videos like this while waiting for delivery?
I like how "your" recommendations are exactly what the manual says
dang it, I throw away the screw covering and not knowing that compartment can hold it
Me: This is silly. No one's that clumsy.
Also me: Almost dropped my Switch (tabletop mode) when I forgot Im wearing a headset.
😂😂👌
Me on January 2020: *in the hospital and dropped my nintendo switch in portable mode and the right joy con gives problems*
Also me: Sh*t
Thank you for telling me this I just got mine 2 hours ago and had no clue! Will be doing this ASAP
Fun Fact: 89% of the people watching this do not have a ps5
Just got it gonna play it soon
Duhhhh its just been released what ya expect
i have the digital one :)
@Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West because there is too high of a demand. If there wasn’t a lot of people would be able to get one. Well a lot of people have some but it’s still not enough
@Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West Well I secured one by preordering the moment they opened and by furiously refreshing the browser. That's what you gotta do nowadays
Took me min to get figure out how to stand mine but I’m amazed in how much details they’ve added. Rotating the stand to reveal a screw felt like some Uncharted shit lol. But the fact that they did that to ensure that the screw go missing and have a place holder for the screw cap from the bottom of the PS5 really felt cool. t’s a small detail but even the smallest details count. I really appreciated that.
1:20 Perhaps you yourself need a "tips and tricks video" on how to remove the screw before making this video. jk jk lol
I think you tube was listening. All day I was talking about using my stand and trying to find a video but I never bothered to even look. I open the app just now. Boom lol. This video. Perfect. Good looks
Ok, as far as cooling, let's see some temps posted with and without the stand. I definitely agree that the stand does in fact add some stability but I would be curious if cooling suffers without the stand.
just look any video with ps5 opening and you will see that bottom holes do nothing for cooling. seriosly just look some opening video.
Still don’t like the look of it. I’ll wait until they release the compact version.
@Champion Person 🤔🤔Does it really take that long ?
Anyway I don't care I will play PS4 for the next few years...playing PS games because it's been exactly 1½ years since I purchased PS4
0:52 When you think your PS5 is trying to slide into your DMs but it's just sliding off the table for the last time.
No never make a joke again
Not gonna lie I have mine ps5 vertical I just had someone some how trip over the controller charging cord everything that was next to the PlayStation five fell off the table besides the PlayStation five that thing didn’t tip over all it did was move it around were it was facing Which is crazy and I’m glad it happened because now how it’s facing looks a lot more better
99% of comments: watching this without a ps5
1% of comments: talking about those comments (me)
we get it, you vape. and use arch linux.
1 year late response: lol
It’s so frustrating to see that the screw hole is not centered.
Might be due to the mounting spot of the actual hole in the system. Or maybe it has to do with how the stand is designed to accommodate the system with the angles and slots
The mistake is setting up your ps5 vertically without the stand. Saved you some time.
i mean theres more to it but ok
@@bigboi1513 but that’s the main thing dumbasses are doing.
You say it like the video is 10 minutes long. He just explains HOW to use the stand and thats it
2 minutes
I get my PS5 tomorrow after birng on a wait list for 52 days. Love the videos man. I won’t screw this up.
How is it?
@@iii3931 amazing. Worth the wait. Noticeable upgrade from my first generation PS4
Hmm, this is like: "Don't throw your PS5 down the table. It's a common mistake, many people throw their PS5 down the table. It's not good to do that."
you'd be surprised how many people use it without the stand.
Many big reviewers actually do have it vertically without a stand.
I got my ps5 from fedex deliveries
How? i need one too
Buying items not just ps5 from FedEx deliveries has being a game changer for me
Buying from FedEx deliveries will be very wise idea

me, who doesnt even own a ps5 watching john glasscock already having 3 ps5 controllersbe like:
HMMMMM interesting
Yeah Patreon dollars @ work
I've seen a lot of videos where people are using the stand and it looks totally out of place, like it shouldn't go with the PS5.
But I think that's because you see a lot of distance shots, showcasing the console.
But you showed a lot of close ups in this video and you've proved 2 things about the stand itself.
1: it's not out of place
2: it's a necessity, not a waste of space
Fuck vertical - noone should care "how cool" it looks - when you place it horizontal it is far less likely to fall over off any surface.
There's also a design flaw when using it this way, the disk ejector tends to jam.
i forgot to install the stand and my ps5 caught on fire
With the controllers, He is one of them
Ik this is like 2 years late, but I just wanna say, sick content, and I just got my PS5 like 5 days ago and I love it!
dont worry mine is at the local walmart.
Showing us how not to make a mistake while making a mistake and breaking the plastic
That's why he shows you this, so that you won't ended up doing the same mistake as he did
Man already got a ps5 hella lucky
When I set mine up last week I didn’t even use the vertical stand and I still don’t use it it’s laying horizontally as of right now and will always be horizontal. I got a disc console at Walmart last week it was a bundle with Horizon Forbidden West which I already own so I gave the digital voucher to the Walmart salesman since he was awesome and helped me out with any questions I had.
