PS5 Slim - Before You Buy

Wow. A little bit of setup for the disc drive...in 2023. How will we all deal with this? Oh my god and internet connection is needed in 2023? Really? That is a complete bust guys. Return all your PS5 disc versions now. This is such a major dealbreaker. ... ...

So there is no difference in performance between the OG PS5 and this slim version?

I was already thinking about getting a ps5 anyway because I want to play the exclusives but I don’t know weather to get a normal one or the slim one

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.

Never had a Playstation but will soon. Watched 2 videos now and I'm still extremely confused.
Are you taking this apart to show how it's done or I'm gonna have manually put all this shit together straight out the box? Am I gonna have to manually take it all apart just to add the one TB hard drive to it or will it already be on there?

This is coming in tomorrow. So many games I need to catch up on

I wonder why PS5 was so hard to get when the market was overpopulated with Xboxes hmm

this will be my first ever ps5, does it matter which one I get? And should I get with disc option or no disc?

The fact that we always watch it after we buy it

Did Sony officially name it the slim, or are people still calling it the wrong thing?

I got the og 2022 version of ps5 last year it’s a beast of a machine. But the slim is perfection. The disc drive update was no problem. Might have to get the stand, I’m cool with the clear legs for now. Gotta have 2 consoles going into 2024, just in case.

I got one only bc i already have a series s which is def more portable. But i wanted to try a PlayStation that could handle difficult games

Loving my slim 💯

It’s perfect

Like if you're watching this after you bought it 🤣🤣

i thought ps5 slim has some upgrades difference from the original ps5. so i bought the original instead of the slim. why would i buy more pricey ps5 that doesnt have upgrades? id rather buy the portable one

A couple of bucks? That’s 30 dollars 😭

I just got a ps5 slim. Have to wait 27 hours for it to install :(

I think both of them are ugly af tbh. But I'd take the slim over the fat any day.

I'm still on the PS3 slim. Ready to finally upgrade early next year. Completely skipped the entire PS4 generation.

Waiting for the Pro

I REALLY don't like the design of the PS5, it just don't sit well under my TV...

Do not buy any more PlayStation games on the PlayStation net work you do not own any of them not only that they can screw you over and take your games away now, so I really would appreciate if people go back to buying games on this because when you do that, it gives us more rights than them

Them making the console easier to open up, and adding another 150gb only, and then adding a USB drive that should have been there in the first place should scare you and make you wonder. You really beleive wheb creating the ps5 they didnt come up with the idea of 2 usb ports atleast on front like every other console ever? Well they also know 50% of consumers are mindless idiots who will find a reason to sell their ps5 to get another ps5 slim because it has a half a games worth of extra storage, an extra usb port and easier to open up. That last part is so you can get into it to replace parts over the next 3-5 years once you slowly realize they outsourced to cheaper parts internally. Same brand of parts, different manufacturer. Which is why they were able to sell it for 499 in a bundle instead of 599 like you would expect. Welcome to the new world people. Wait until you have to pay to use public restrooms like in europe some places. Wait until you buy your dream car and have to pay even more money to the dealer to unlock its full features. Yanno, just like Tesla .....

Are their games that don’t involve guns and war?? Gramma here wanting to know before purchasing 😅

I’m glad that I’m able to buy a disk drive later on. Most places where I live have already discontinued the old ps5 models and mostly only have the digital version wich sucks. But at least I can get a drive later.

id call it a facelift

2016

It’s been 3 years? I thought the PS5 was released late last year

Still as ugly as it was first launched, and still no games to convince me to pluge into the next gen. :-(

I had the original ps5 since it came out I am waiting on the ps5 pro I am not wasting my money on slim when it not even worth the upgraded

seeing as I'm watching this a month since the video has been out, I can confirm that the OLD PS5 units have been phased out in Australia, and only these new units are now available in stock

I haven’t bought a physical game in almost a decade. My Xbox series s doesn’t have a disc drive, it’s been 3 years and not once have I wished it took discs too.

I want the slim. Currently on Amazon it’s on offer but the OG model is not. Its slimmer and cheaper, I’m getting the slim

Smaller but still ugly as sin! I still cannot believe they chose this design path.

Lowkey thought the slim was just gonna be a budget type console like Xbox do with the s series

IMPORTANT QUESTION: the internal storage upgrade module. Is that the same size as the original playstation. Or do I need to buy a whole new $1,000 four terabyte stick.

What about double the size. Can I have a PlayStation the size of a door

I love my new slim ps5. I think it's better then the old one i had. If you wanna buy one, get the slim. Trust me bro.

I’m not buying one till it’s small enough to look good hanging in my wall. Not a big gamer, I always just buy them for people to come play, with Covid didn’t need it so I waited for the slim, but it’s still not small enough.

No need to upgrade if you already own a ps5.

Main reason I like Sony the most is because they focused on single player.

Changing the design and everything is ripping people off. They should give people with the old console a refund.

It’s still ugly...great.

So... it is the same thing as it was 3 years ago. Apart from some fluff which doesn't effect the use in any way.
Apart from... WTF? A DISC DRIVE? I haven't used any discs for... 10 years? I have heard that Japanese still use fax machines and non-smart phones, but this still surprises me.
And the "smart people" were already talking about what is inside. What does that make YOU exactly? Did you think about that?
So, based on the little info in this 10+ minute long video - I can safely assume that the inside is at least 3 years old, probably more like 10+. No wonder why the graphic on consoles suck so much.
No, I never wanted a console, and after this review, I want a console even less. Outdated shit for inflated prices, with even more inflated prices on games... NTY.

I still do not have a ps5, and have switched to a pc and rocking a 7900x and 4090. Luckily i have a xbox series s for when gta6 launches.

I'll prolly get it tomorrow

Sony need to bring back MAG, especially with the PS5

This is basically the same exact thing as the switch oled

So Sony is sailing a 4K player for $89?!
That doesn’t sound right?
