Yeah it has a pretty unintuitive UI design and button mapping; Cerny is better at hardware than he is software, I guess. It's amazing how many button presses are required to switch between games - too many, really. It's not as dogs**t as the PS4 UI overall - it's definitely not as slow so that's probably why it's skewed towards me thinking it's better - but it's still overly fussy design, and that whole Title Card feature is about as useless and annoying as I knew it would be (just yet another button press to get down to the power/download/controller quick bar and devoid of useful information, most games never bothered to use them either). Having to Unfollow games so you don't get more pointless clutter that gets in the way of, y'know, actual gaming is stupid too but at least there's a menu in the messy, poorly arranged system settings to do it as a list.
Please I do not have a console. Do you have a ps4 or PS 5 console you no longer make use of ?? I’ll appreciate if you can give it out. I can’t afford one and I’ll sincerely appreciate if you can give me any Ps console you’re not making use of. 🙏
Turning on the auto mute portion helps extend battery life quite well. Also, if you are good with tinkering, you can replace the battery with a bigger version to extend the battery life on those controllers even more.
Right? It's amazing how much battery the mic wastes (it can be the difference between 5 hours of gaming leaving 2 bars or 1/flashing 0). Typical Sony stupid design - have the mic on by default, and have the light mean MIC OFF not MIC ON. Totally backwards, same as swapping around the PS button press/hold functions. I go between PS3 and PS5 and that still throws me. Just have continuity so longterm PlayStation gamers aren't getting annoyed because muscle memory exists.
What u use for headphones or buds? And i know the original there were issues of standing vertical with melting of the chip and dripping down the system so i keep mine horizontal. How do u keep it?

This is my first time buying a PS5! I’m so excited I know I’m late to the game because I bought a Xbox series S when they both first came out! I got mine from a custom seller on eBay. He puts custom panels and adds extra mods to controllers. I’m so stoked! I’m saving this video and I’m also gonna watch your 50 tips and tricks video! Thank you! 🙏🏻
I love my slim coupled with the PSPortal. I completely put the Switch and the Deck to the side, for which I imagine a long time. Add PSVR2 to that and I am in heaven.
I haven’t own a PS Console in years and know I’m getting back in the game world and this video of yours has been perfect for me, since I feel like a newborn, cause I’ve been totally absent of what’s going on with the gaming and PlayStation technology and why not!! Thank you a lot Mystic!! 🙏🏽👌🏽
Keeping a clean controller isn't hard. It just comes down to personal hygiene; I wash my hands thoroughly and often. I also wipe down my Dualsense after each play session and when they require charging. My white original one still looks as clean as it did when I took it out the box. The only thing is that with time and wear, the textured surface gets worn down and becomes smooth and more shiny. Regardless, keeping them (looking and feeling) clean and from changing colours is not hard and is preventable.
Don't eat and game, basically. Or if you're gonna snack, wipe your hands before picking up the controller again. Never understood why other people's controllers look and smell gross when they've only had the console for like, 3-6 months, probably the same kind of people who sit their PS5 on a carpet without the stand and let it fill up with dust and run hot/noisy then wonder why it overheats when it's been left on for 8 hours straight. You can only idiotproof a design so much...
I've got a slim in the post and can't wait. I was especially grateful on advice for transfer of profile data etc as I've bought quite a lot of games from PSN so transferring all that info is very helpful. I got bit with this from Xbox 360, having games like Radiant Silvergun (and missing it!) but not upgrading to Xbox one and forgetting my information I've lost access to my old gamertag and all the items I'd bought with it, so don't want to get burned again. Also love how the Slim is so serviceable and accessible to clean and maintain. I have just had a PS4 Pro disk drive stop accepting and ejecting disks and it is a nightmare to get to parts and clean it, and yes the turn screw for ejecting is not working on my drive, it's not manually spitting out the disk no matter what so the Slim being recently released I thought I'd just upgrade. I think I'll keep my Pro and turn it into a emulation console.
Sony wants you to have the slim in horizontal orientation. If the unit overheats, the metallic processor paste won't run all over the circuit board. So, lay the unit down and keep an eye on temperature. If you don't have air conditioning, you might have overheating problems.
The vertical stand isn't /necessary/, but keep in mind there is a vent at the bottom of the console when it is standing vertically, and it is obstructed when the console is set vertically without the stand. The stand lifts the console slightly and allows for airflow for the vent. It's not the main heat vent for the console, but it's probably not the best idea to block it off, especially if you're using the disc drive.
Thanks for the video Ryan it's been a great help and great timing as I just got my PS5 this week after thinking about it for a long while (your videos helped me decided to get one) as I've been a subscriber of yours for just over three years.
Takes notes for when I eventually get a 5 at the end of the consol generation Edit It's NOT that I can't afford one, I learned the hard way in the 7th console generation don't early adopt new systems. Also I'm waiting until the end of the generation before buying so it'll be cheaper and I know a "better" version won't be coming out in x months or something. Plus this is in all likelihood the last console generation I'll be buying into
@@Chiseled-Freakhonestly same, and as a younger person I’ve been sleeping on the ps3.

This Christmas 2024 I’ll be getting a PlayStation 5 slim console I truly can’t wait been waiting patiently to get PS5, I since I’m a OG on disk drives I probably buy one just for add on along with extra dullshock controller, anyway this some great advice on this video.
I got the Spidey 2 version of the PS5 a few months ago. It was pretty good and I like it. I am glad I got the original model before the slim came out. I have always preferred the originals in any video game console. That said, enjoy your slims if you got one. You are in for a real treat!
Same It’s so beautiful I just be looking at it sometimes lol I admit I didn’t like the design of it at first reveal but having it in person is different it’s so quiet too especially reading installing discs.
But the disign is shit cuz the dongle gets to Hot in the back cuz thats where all the Hot air comes out in the normal ps5 its in the front so no problems but with a usb cable for the dongle problem Will be solved but usb port are placed in a strange spot
I bought one in January and I was so frustrated because I didn't had internet for one week and could not use the disc drive or download anything. At least astro bot was pre installed.
_Astro's Playroom_ is pre-installed but if you reset the console to sell it, it doesn't go back on there and 99.9% of sellers won't manually put it on there...
I got playstation 5 slim a week ago. I am glad I didn't get the original because it's so big. The slim is cute, and I have it set it up vertically with a stand that also can charge the controller. I wanted an xbox x since I had an xbox 360 dacade ago. But I like the playstation exclusive games like God of War or Spiderman. I made the right choice. I tried some games on it. Wow! I was impressed! I got this disk version. It makes sense to get the disk version, I don't get why anyone would get just the digital version. What if you run out of storage? It's great to have the option you can buy disk, you can sell them. I was worried about the disk noice. But it goes away after a minute or after you start playing a disk game. Yes, it is worth it! Get it! It looks great! If you don't have a playstation 5 yet and you want one.. get the slim! It's a lot smaller, and it takes very little space when It's on a vertical stand.
I just got my slim a few days ago. I have a series X as I loved Gamepass back on the Xbox One, but those exclusives on playstation definitely made me think it was an error in Judgement at times. Now there is Wukong coming. I finally took the plunge. Spiderman 2, God Of War, Stella Blade are also all on my wishlist, and unfortunately, they'll never make it to Xbox.
i dont care what you say i got one from amazon and one thing i can tell ya it makes the ps5 look good and keeps it cool from long game play i tested it‼️ but you are correct about the charging it it does charge slow
I’m still waiting for a reason to get a ps5. I see them stocked in every big box store now, but I just look at the games available and just shrug. Already have a PC, steamdeck and a wonderful ps4 collection. I love the effort you put into these types of videos though, and especially your ps4 content.
The microphone mute option right when you turn on the Sony PlayStation 5 is a great option to have. I have the first day launch PlayStation 5 and I love It. The PlayStation 5 slim looks great and better compared to other slim models that Sony has made before. Cool video. ^_^
Started TLOU2 on a regular PS5 and completed it on a PS5 Slim😉😉😉 By the way great game. Don't let those who talk shit about the story decide whether or not you are gonna play it. I listened to that narrative and skipped that game. Finally got it on deep sale and played it and absolutely loved it.
Had the PS5 for almost a year. Nice, lovely console so far. Looking forward to Cyberpunk Project: Orion and Witcher 4, and Witcher 1 Remake when they eventually release if they release on current gen. Heard UE5 is still being worked on. Maybe next gen would be better.
There's some misinformation in this video. Contrary to what Ryan states, cloud storage is not the only way to get PS5 saves off of a console, although Sony would happily have you believe that. You can do a system backup of just the system settings/save data (a couple of GBs, tops) if you back up all the games on internal storage to USB or M.2 SSD first (basically it backs up everything on internal storage if you don't, which can result in huge backups which takes hours and renders the console that's doing it single task, unable to do anything else). You don't need PS Plus, necessarily, which is great for people like me who don't need it. I'd rather save money for games on sale; gaming doesn't need to be a massively expensive hobby nor require a monthly subscription. When I went from OG to Slim most of my games were already on the M.2 SSD and the few that were on internal storage could be manually moved to a USB3 hard drive, so with the internal storage clear (I even deleted old game video captures) I was able to simply back up the system settings/save data (for everything - PS4/PS5/PS Classics) and console settings to a FAT32 formatted USB3 stick I share between my PS3/PS4 which only took like, 5 minutes. You restore the system setting/save data from the old PS5 first, the M.2 SSD has your games, for any that don't fit a USB3 hard drive can put them back on the internal SSD as needed, in my case giving me 2TB to play with (most of the free space is on the internal SSD). M.2 SSDs aren't locked to a specific console so you can move them freely between PS5s - obviously they need to be using the same PSN ID for game registration (or another account that owns the same game from the same region - game title ID needs to match). For anyone who bothered to read this whole thing asking "well why didn't you transfer console to console using Sony's built-in feature", I tried. The two step process failed on step two and even step one didn't even copy across the system settings properly so it was a waste of time and ended up taking longer than my entire manual backup process, with more steps and more faffing around getting the two PS5s to see each other and rebooting etc I had a feeling it wouldn't work because I've never had luck using the older version of the same feature on PS3/PS4. I'm sure for most people this sort of thing is "useless information", but to be honest the amount of times I've had my tech problems solved by similarly "useless information" one person who had the same very specific problem and bothered to post a solution to Reddit or whatever, maybe this is the same deal. Who knows
Well I wouldn't say its boring about Sony PlayStation 5 rundown,I have PS5 og was thinking returning it and get the PS5 Slim,just because it's slightly smaller easier to fit places and 1TB that's the only reason,I was told to keep the 'PS5 og' good video because gives indepth details of the PS5 console...👍
Haha XD XD , u just posted this videos before 4 months and i got the ps5 slime before 2 months , and thank u for this video ! Better than others saying like : shapes , small , bla bla bla bla … but u … really appreciate it !! and about the setting , wow I know it before I watch any of your videos or anyone !! Because first thing i did when I bought it i went to settings , yea … anyway thanks partner .
I think I find a error in the video, I'm not sure but I think you can save your game progress, you must go under Setting>System>System software>back up and resorte>Back up your PS5. I don't have testing this but I think it works. I don't have a second PS5😢😅 In the "Back up your PS5" setting you can decide what you want safe, you have this 4 options. Game and apps Save data screenshot and video clips settings On the option "game and apps" you can choose which game progress you want save, but Here Is as slightly problem, games like bf2042 or COD Warzone you need to save the full game, bf2042 80gb, and for COD warzone 190gb, this is only slightly problem because this game save the progress in the own server, and I think this cause the problem, I think games like anthem, bf1,bfV, Gran Turismo Sport, the finals end a plug tail requiem have the same problem but this game are not so big "only" 1gb, but supposed to be 50 mb, Cyberpunk, the entropy Center, the Riftbreaker end necromunda Hair Gun have the same problem like bf2042, you need to back up the full game, but this game don't have the saving on the own server, the other 100 game have normal size.
Omg i was sad there wasnt any Little Big Planet sequels after 3 when i looked at ps5 games online. Now i see you plugging one in! Im extra excited now to get a ps5!!!
This video was of great help. I am going to get a PS5 Slim(instead of a pro…). Last PS I had was the PS one so I am excited. I like that the slim is a bit smaller so I can have my Series X on one side and the slim on the other and my PC on the floor.
We needed to do that for PS4 as well but people didn't rage as much on the internet in those days. The only difference is that it was only for video on PS4 but for PS5 it's video and games. Haven't heard people screaming about the PS4 very much, and that console is 10 years old and subject to the alleged "dead activation servers" we keep hearing about when the PS5 is discussed.
Love the fan cleaning tip. That's definitely something PS5 has over Series X. (I just got my PS5 as Wukong and Stella Blade look awesome). I did commit the crime of 3rd party plates in Matt Black. They aren't the cheapest I saw and are pretty well fitting. I'm not a fan of white, honestly. My other electronics are all in black, so I wanted it in line with those. I also bought myself a starlight blue dual sense as again I'm not a fan of white and my room is different shades of blue.
I’m sad that the “slim” exist (cause it’s now the standard), but if my PS5 ever malfunctions, I hope it does by the time the PS5 Pro is available. Something similar happened on PS4 when the original model tuned into a VTOL JET! 🛩️
All the PS4 models are noisy, even when they're clean. I was always able to hear the OG PS4, PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro (worst offender) when they'd been on a few hours. The Slim was the least worst, but it's still noiser than the loudest PS5 (the OG 1000 series). Having said that, you should take the panels off and clean your PS5, the fins on the front and back gather dust like crazy, and at the least blow compressed air into the fan, both sides. They designed the thing to have this bare minimum level of maintenance done so it doesn't overheat as it ages. It's a lot easier to get to the fan on a PS5 than a PS4 or PS3 (OG PS3s are a nightmare to disassemble).
Already bought my PS5 Slim with a 55 inch 4k TCL TV on sale early this month. Man, gaming in 4k is chief kiss. The biggest upgrade I felt was definitely the TV size. Going from 40 inch to 55 is super immersive, especially playing Spider-Man.
Saw your video while ago But didn't click on until I bought ps5 I was lucky enough to get my hands on spider man 2 limited edition Still in the box Now I'm enjoying this video Also I know Ps5 pro maybe coming soon But it's ok because there will be Vary little distance
6:35 Thank you on this one, Ryan. Now I understand what Bob Wulff talked about when he mentioned a PS Plus Sub was needed to transfer saves. I do not like it but I hope it will change in the future.
Appreciate this. I bought another external drive to store my ps4 games, and I suspected that I could plug and play my existing external drive my ps4 with all the games. I asked the cashier and of course, they said it wouldn't. I'll be returning that 100 dollar drive tomorrow and getting another game with the money instead.
The WD Black SSD is actually the recommended drive for the ps5 although it doesn’t have to be the ps branded. Than Seagate 5tb external is the recommend external.
well i had a qa....didnt sony claim that sn850 or sn850x were tested by them? so if its true why not by this ? most review says its a good option I looked for sam 990pro but there are some saying it has temp prob and more prob is firmware prob so to update you need pc. and my nvme slots are full. and an adapter to usb is extra $
The feet were wobbling for you because they weren't seated all the way. the give when plugging something in is still there even when they are seated properly just nowhere near as bad.
i would not recommend placong the ps5 vertically as when the ps5 used for long hours for several days.tge cpu might melt dripping onto the mother board losing information and data hope this helps
“Getting caught by your partner by this incriminating sound of impending fun” couldn’t be more true 🤣

This Christmas 2024 I’ll be getting a PlayStation 5 slim console I truly can’t wait been waiting patiently to get PS5, I since I’m a OG on disk drives I probably buy one just for add on along with extra dullshock controller, anyway this some great advice on this video.
I just got PS5 Slim, lol nice video much love bro :)
Well I paid £23 for the 3rd party from Amazon. It looks good and charges the joypad perfectly, and very stable
I got the Spidey 2 version of the PS5 a few months ago. It was pretty good and I like it. I am glad I got the original model before the slim came out. I have always preferred the originals in any video game console.
That said, enjoy your slims if you got one. You are in for a real treat!
Same It’s so beautiful I just be looking at it sometimes lol I admit I didn’t like the design of it at first reveal but having it in person is different it’s so quiet too especially reading installing discs.
ps5 slim does look better from a design point
But the disign is shit cuz the dongle gets to Hot in the back cuz thats where all the Hot air comes out in the normal ps5 its in the front so no problems but with a usb cable for the dongle problem Will be solved but usb port are placed in a strange spot
@CrisCheese_ I'm lost too 😅😅😅
@@MrSitallewal1983 USB C to A adapter, problem solved.
I bought one in January and I was so frustrated because I didn't had internet for one week and could not use the disc drive or download anything. At least astro bot was pre installed.
Mobile hotspot?
@@mcojocnean yeah you know i shared my phone internet with my ps5
_Astro's Playroom_ is pre-installed but if you reset the console to sell it, it doesn't go back on there and 99.9% of sellers won't manually put it on there...
@@garydiamondguitarist i bought a new one
I got playstation 5 slim a week ago. I am glad I didn't get the original because it's so big. The slim is cute, and I have it set it up vertically with a stand that also can charge the controller. I wanted an xbox x since I had an xbox 360 dacade ago. But I like the playstation exclusive games like God of War or Spiderman. I made the right choice. I tried some games on it. Wow! I was impressed! I got this disk version. It makes sense to get the disk version, I don't get why anyone would get just the digital version. What if you run out of storage? It's great to have the option you can buy disk, you can sell them. I was worried about the disk noice. But it goes away after a minute or after you start playing a disk game.
Yes, it is worth it! Get it! It looks great! If you don't have a playstation 5 yet and you want one.. get the slim! It's a lot smaller, and it takes very little space when It's on a vertical stand.
I just got my slim a few days ago.
I have a series X as I loved Gamepass back on the Xbox One, but those exclusives on playstation definitely made me think it was an error in Judgement at times.
Now there is Wukong coming. I finally took the plunge.
Spiderman 2, God Of War, Stella Blade are also all on my wishlist, and unfortunately, they'll never make it to Xbox.
Do yours sound like a jet ?
@Pieface530 I don't find mine that loud, saying that it's not even a month old and I'm wearing a headset a lot of the time I play.
i dont care what you say i got one from amazon and one thing i can tell ya it makes the ps5 look good and keeps it cool from long game play i tested it‼️ but you are correct about the charging it it does charge slow
I’m still waiting for a reason to get a ps5. I see them stocked in every big box store now, but I just look at the games available and just shrug. Already have a PC, steamdeck and a wonderful ps4 collection. I love the effort you put into these types of videos though, and especially your ps4 content.
Thx man just got my PS5 td and I’m loving it so far
Just bought a digital slim today. Walmart is bringing it in the morning. Ive worked hard for this moment lol
I just found one ON THE SHELF! Picked it up...how do you like it?
@@silveredgrunion7196 love it. so fast and immersive.
The microphone mute option right when you turn on the Sony PlayStation 5 is a great option to have. I have the first day launch PlayStation 5 and I love It. The PlayStation 5 slim looks great and better compared to other slim models that Sony has made before. Cool video. ^_^
Started TLOU2 on a regular PS5 and completed it on a PS5 Slim😉😉😉
By the way great game. Don't let those who talk shit about the story decide whether or not you are gonna play it.
I listened to that narrative and skipped that game. Finally got it on deep sale and played it and absolutely loved it.
I listened and bought it too. I thought Joel's death was going to the only problem. What a waste of money.
Enjoy it more then the original
@@redkelly1188 bad take
the way it just goes straight into the video is awesome! Good work
Had the PS5 for almost a year. Nice, lovely console so far. Looking forward to Cyberpunk Project: Orion and Witcher 4, and Witcher 1 Remake when they eventually release if they release on current gen. Heard UE5 is still being worked on. Maybe next gen would be better.
it is an amazing and must-see video about PS5! Thanks for the content
There's some misinformation in this video. Contrary to what Ryan states, cloud storage is not the only way to get PS5 saves off of a console, although Sony would happily have you believe that. You can do a system backup of just the system settings/save data (a couple of GBs, tops) if you back up all the games on internal storage to USB or M.2 SSD first (basically it backs up everything on internal storage if you don't, which can result in huge backups which takes hours and renders the console that's doing it single task, unable to do anything else). You don't need PS Plus, necessarily, which is great for people like me who don't need it. I'd rather save money for games on sale; gaming doesn't need to be a massively expensive hobby nor require a monthly subscription.
When I went from OG to Slim most of my games were already on the M.2 SSD and the few that were on internal storage could be manually moved to a USB3 hard drive, so with the internal storage clear (I even deleted old game video captures) I was able to simply back up the system settings/save data (for everything - PS4/PS5/PS Classics) and console settings to a FAT32 formatted USB3 stick I share between my PS3/PS4 which only took like, 5 minutes.
You restore the system setting/save data from the old PS5 first, the M.2 SSD has your games, for any that don't fit a USB3 hard drive can put them back on the internal SSD as needed, in my case giving me 2TB to play with (most of the free space is on the internal SSD).
M.2 SSDs aren't locked to a specific console so you can move them freely between PS5s - obviously they need to be using the same PSN ID for game registration (or another account that owns the same game from the same region - game title ID needs to match).
For anyone who bothered to read this whole thing asking "well why didn't you transfer console to console using Sony's built-in feature", I tried. The two step process failed on step two and even step one didn't even copy across the system settings properly so it was a waste of time and ended up taking longer than my entire manual backup process, with more steps and more faffing around getting the two PS5s to see each other and rebooting etc I had a feeling it wouldn't work because I've never had luck using the older version of the same feature on PS3/PS4.
I'm sure for most people this sort of thing is "useless information", but to be honest the amount of times I've had my tech problems solved by similarly "useless information" one person who had the same very specific problem and bothered to post a solution to Reddit or whatever, maybe this is the same deal. Who knows
Well I wouldn't say its boring about Sony PlayStation 5 rundown,I have PS5 og was thinking returning it and get the PS5 Slim,just because it's slightly smaller easier to fit places and 1TB that's the only reason,I was told to keep the 'PS5 og' good video because gives indepth details of the PS5 console...👍
Haha XD XD , u just posted this videos before 4 months and i got the ps5 slime before 2 months , and thank u for this video ! Better than others saying like : shapes , small , bla bla bla bla … but u … really appreciate it !! and about the setting , wow I know it before I watch any of your videos or anyone !! Because first thing i did when I bought it i went to settings , yea … anyway thanks partner .
That silver face plate reminds me of my ps2 slim.
Recently got a PS5 and I learned a lot from your video, thanks! :-D
I think I find a error in the video, I'm not sure but I think you can save your game progress, you must go under Setting>System>System software>back up and resorte>Back up your PS5.
I don't have testing this but I think it works. I don't have a second PS5😢😅
In the "Back up your PS5" setting you can decide what you want safe, you have this 4 options.
Game and apps
Save data
screenshot and video clips
settings
On the option "game and apps" you can choose which game progress you want save, but Here Is as slightly problem, games like bf2042 or COD Warzone you need to save the full game, bf2042 80gb, and for COD warzone 190gb, this is only slightly problem because this game save the progress in the own server, and I think this cause the problem, I think games like anthem, bf1,bfV, Gran Turismo Sport, the finals end a plug tail requiem have the same problem but this game are not so big "only" 1gb, but supposed to be 50 mb, Cyberpunk, the entropy Center, the Riftbreaker end necromunda Hair Gun have the same problem like bf2042, you need to back up the full game, but this game don't have the saving on the own server, the other 100 game have normal size.
its getting delivered in a few days. so excited!!
Omg i was sad there wasnt any Little Big Planet sequels after 3 when i looked at ps5 games online. Now i see you plugging one in! Im extra excited now to get a ps5!!!
I love the look of the slim; hence, I’m super hyped about the leaked Pro image and its similar form factor.
This video was of great help. I am going to get a PS5 Slim(instead of a pro…). Last PS I had was the PS one so I am excited. I like that the slim is a bit smaller so I can have my Series X on one side and the slim on the other and my PC on the floor.
Thanks for the video. Some really good info here. Also, it still cracks me up that we have to register a disc drive.
We needed to do that for PS4 as well but people didn't rage as much on the internet in those days. The only difference is that it was only for video on PS4 but for PS5 it's video and games. Haven't heard people screaming about the PS4 very much, and that console is 10 years old and subject to the alleged "dead activation servers" we keep hearing about when the PS5 is discussed.
was literally just at GameStop asking the questions this video offers :D thank you!
Just got a ps5 slim digital edition. I am very excited about it
Love the fan cleaning tip.
That's definitely something PS5 has over Series X. (I just got my PS5 as Wukong and Stella Blade look awesome).
I did commit the crime of 3rd party plates in Matt Black. They aren't the cheapest I saw and are pretty well fitting. I'm not a fan of white, honestly. My other electronics are all in black, so I wanted it in line with those.
I also bought myself a starlight blue dual sense as again I'm not a fan of white and my room is different shades of blue.
I’m sad that the “slim” exist (cause it’s now the standard), but if my PS5 ever malfunctions, I hope it does by the time the PS5 Pro is available.
Something similar happened on PS4 when the original model tuned into a VTOL JET! 🛩️
All the PS4 models are noisy, even when they're clean. I was always able to hear the OG PS4, PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro (worst offender) when they'd been on a few hours. The Slim was the least worst, but it's still noiser than the loudest PS5 (the OG 1000 series).
Having said that, you should take the panels off and clean your PS5, the fins on the front and back gather dust like crazy, and at the least blow compressed air into the fan, both sides. They designed the thing to have this bare minimum level of maintenance done so it doesn't overheat as it ages. It's a lot easier to get to the fan on a PS5 than a PS4 or PS3 (OG PS3s are a nightmare to disassemble).
JUST ordered this with the PsVr2! Cant waiiiiiit😢😢❤
Amazing video, very usefull!!! thank you!!!!
0:10 I'VE SEEN THESE IN THE HOUSE FOR MONTHS AND NOW I JUST FIGURED OUT WHAT THEY WERE FOR
I hope i can buy this in 2025.
Its on sale rn
@giftgerning1332 My savings isn't enough to buy it 😅
Already bought my PS5 Slim with a 55 inch 4k TCL TV on sale early this month. Man, gaming in 4k is chief kiss. The biggest upgrade I felt was definitely the TV size. Going from 40 inch to 55 is super immersive, especially playing Spider-Man.
i got the ps5 slim for my birthday in November i’ve been enjoying it i can finally play wukong
I paid in the Netherlands for 500 euros €
Saw your video while ago
But didn't click on until I bought ps5 I was lucky enough to get my hands on
spider man 2 limited edition
Still in the box
Now I'm enjoying this video
Also I know
Ps5 pro maybe coming soon
But it's ok because there will be
Vary little distance
That’s good man hope you enjoy it
6:35
Thank you on this one, Ryan.
Now I understand what Bob Wulff talked about when he mentioned a PS Plus Sub was needed to transfer saves. I do not like it but I hope it will change in the future.
Great tips. I have the older design. Purchased May 2023. I might need to clean mine. It's not making any noise but just preventive maintenance.
Just got it today, pretty excited to game on🔥🔥😎
Great video as always Mystic...happy to know a ps4 external harddrive is plug and play!
Awesome in-depth vid dude!!! Thank you 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I'm switching from Xbox to PlayStation in June, and the game preset feature is actually really cool, something you wouldn't really see on xbox tbh🤷♂️
I had no idea you could do a network transfer between consoles! Informative and well-done episode! 👌🙂
It is indeed very useful. I used this method when I backed up my PS4 and my wife's PS4 to the PS5. (She'd already had one before I met her)
Excellent information, thankyou
My ps5 is coming on monday😍😍
Finally got one after years of waiting 🔥
I'm very happy with the slim arrived today
Thanks, im getting one for christmas this year.
5:25
Mystic with another PlayStation console to add to his Console Centipede he has in his basement
The design of the ps5 blows my mind , just make a box lol
@ 9:21 definitely a pro tip for all the men watching, don’t think, just DO IT‼️ TRUST ME 😂
im about to buy the slim in 2 days and I'm so excited
Appreciate this. I bought another external drive to store my ps4 games, and I suspected that I could plug and play my existing external drive my ps4 with all the games. I asked the cashier and of course, they said it wouldn't. I'll be returning that 100 dollar drive tomorrow and getting another game with the money instead.
Oh. I did get the WD ssd stick... well at least it was during a sale haha
The WD Black SSD is actually the recommended drive for the ps5 although it doesn’t have to be the ps branded. Than Seagate 5tb external is the recommend external.
well i had a qa....didnt sony claim that sn850 or sn850x were tested by them?
so if its true why not by this ?
most review says its a good option
I looked for sam 990pro but there are some saying it has temp prob and more prob is firmware prob so to update you need pc.
and my nvme slots are full.
and an adapter to usb is extra $
Wow, a video with some actual tips. Nice.
The feet were wobbling for you because they weren't seated all the way. the give when plugging something in is still there even when they are seated properly just nowhere near as bad.
Right to the point this deserves a subscribe 😄
Thanks, very helpful ❤
This is am amazing review, thanks so much man
I have to say I did have a 5 for a bit but my wife wanted the tv so much I sold it…then they released the portal 😢 maybe one day I’ll go back :)
I still play on my PS4 slim and don't want a PS5 unless GTA 6 is so absolutely extraordinary that it makes me want to buy it.
Same here. LOVE my 500 Million Edition PS4 Pro numbered 39500/50000
Just got mine a week ago loving it
mystic coming in hot with the true value of a youtube video as per usual! Nice work man.
Yay!!! New video. I literally sit in anticipation for Tuesday videos from Mystic 😅 Love your content dude!!!
Don't have a slim or like PlayStation in general? Well watch this man's videos any damn way!!!
Nice tips I just bought one today it's huge sale and just subscribed to extra
Superb content 👊🏼
Good video on tips for PS5 people may not know about.
i would not recommend placong the ps5 vertically as when the ps5 used for long hours for several days.tge cpu might melt dripping onto the mother board losing information and data hope this helps
That has been proven false. The console can be horizontal or vertical. They make vertical stands for a reason
The PS5 does allow backup to USB. It's in system settings instead of where the game files are.
You mean game saves? That’s good to know because I won’t probably subscribe to PS Plus when I get my PS5 Slim today.
Awesome unboxing video.
