The connector which connects to disk drive if that brakes Ur done for lol

@@thealien_ali3382never heard of soldering right?

@@thealien_ali3382 then don’t break it

More convenient for sony to get more money

499 € ? Es mucho . En enero de 2024 estuvo a 454 € la PS5 SLIM. Esa si es una muy buena oferta.. saludos

Yea but the bulbus disc drive looks ugly. I’ll take being a corpo slave for aesthetic purposes

​@@Kingbayleiyou know how much money my cousins saved using my disc games? Who cares about how it looks. Physical games are the best.

​@@comicrandomness3289and BF coming disc games hit 1/3 of the price it's legit

@@comicrandomness3289 they definitely care , otherwise no sane person says they would be a "corpo slave" over how a piece of plastic looks lmao

The modders will take care of it😅

The gloss and matte would look better in black like the OG PS4 or PS2 90001 model

Id just wait for D brand to come out with replacements

a tribute to the first ps4

i kinda like it because it reminds me of my ps2 scph 9000x

They haven't increased the prices, it's the same price, 550 euros

Same I was going to replace my original PlayStation five for this one but the price is too high for a slim

i have a day one ps5 too but my lan port just started giving me issues

@@MariaHernandez-gf7ng ah no - thats not good, I have just added an additional SSD card - super scary opening the case, and fitting it - but works fine. I hope you can fix the Lan port without needing to buy a new unit.

The other slims in the past have also had lowered specs usually (from what I remember) but with this one they made them better.

Amazed you could actually read that

@@NikitaWolf1776 It definitely took a few tries lol. There’s like a frame or two in the video where it was kind of easy to read, but it still took a few attempts.

Can it work for others

@@elexmcfarlin9302 It’s a one use code unfortunately.

Haha, those "2 frames" are difficult to grab for sure. If you really have it, grats!

sony could just make the bd drive external or sell the games on usb sticks

I bet they will do a 5nm node shrink once that becomes cheaper as people move to 3nm and just stick it straight in this chassis, then reduce the heatsink even more since it should only pull like 120w then

I genuinely just wanted a slim black rectangular box but they really tripled down on the wing concept 🤦‍♂️

@@XMVDARKno it isnt 😂

@@XMVDARKI own a ps5 slim digital and I can not agree with that

@@SlowedNReverb984 i apologise, I own a ps5 slim now and it is only like 4-5 decibles louder which doesn't make a difference

It won't. Plus get a warranty and don't be poor

It's not a slim until Sony can somehow put the disc drive where the central black part is.

​@@maqui1814the ps5 super slim😂

Honestly I would prefer that. It would keep the console cooler

Maybe a GaN power supply would be a better solution?

Wait 3-4 years

I tried I go it right but, it already redeem it

There is one frame where you can read the code. But it has already been redeemed.

u got it bro@@swallace122

Coil whine will be unit to unit. If you care that much about coil whine buy from a store that allows returns on opened units, rush home and test. Run it through a game or something hard to listen for coil whine and return it if it's there. Must warranties don't cover coil whine of course even though it's a quality issue.

My 1200 doesn't have coil whine, but my brother's 1000 has really bad coil whine. I think they've already fixed that. I hope it has a proper HDMI 2.1 port now because the colours look awful at 120 Hz on the other models.

@@itIsI988 My 1200 has Coil Whine but only when I'm very close to Playstation. I can't hear it from the couch. Sony doesn't consider as the problem, it's very likely that Coil Whine has stay in Slim. Its sad

@@petrtesar9461 Anything to save a buck. Seems to be the trend with Sony, especially this gen.

HDMI bandwidth still is 32Gbps. Tested on my C1 with the HDMI menu, says 4L8, while the Series X said 4L10.

Why bother at all? I barely look at the console itself I'd rather chuck it behind the monitor where I don't see it at all super clean space lol.

Can it read PS4 Disc's?

@@whiskeygamer9402yes

Donde la comprastes? Me comprare una de las mismas en estos días pero no sé en q tienda la puedo encontrar? Yo soy del salvador pero me la traerán de USA como regalo de navidad.

⁠​⁠@@whiskeygamer9402since he didn’t answer your question I will. Yes it reads PS4 discs. It will also read any PS4 external drives you had on your PS4. I brought my PS5 home and during the set up process it asks if you want to transfer from another console. You simply plug both consoles in to your router and the PS5 will detect it and transfer stuff through your home network. It took around 30 minutes for my PS4 to transfer everything I had installed on the internal storage over to my PS5. And all I had to do was unplug my external drive from my PS4 into the PS5 and it detected and reads from it without any extra steps. I was able to play the Final Fantasy 7 remake zero issues on my Ps5 just like I did on my PS4

@@Ocelot429 Thank you much appreciated 👍🏽 I will definitely buy one.

more than likely locked , hence why the registration

You can use it on other ps5

There is a digital version also fyi

@@hpd_hero REALLY I HAD NO CLUE!!!

I couldnt tell mine was on my okd ps5 after few weeks got noisey but not anything bad

Won't work

It locks to the system as soon as you first boot up.

The secret is to watch this whole video

@@mohsinpatwari4379 I wouldn't have commented if I didn't tho 🤷

Same here bro 😎

If you do want a disk drive, get the old one. It will be about the same price if not cheaper because it will go on sale because it is the old one.

Yeah Ik it would be cheaper but I really can’t stand how massive the old one is and I can’t wait till the pro comes out so I’m just gonna get the disk version of the slim to play cyberpunk and Rdr2 and put dbrand digital edition plates when I’m not using the disk drive so it’s even smaller. TLDR the smaller size is worth the extra price to me

@@longliveleninism5503. Ok.

It does have one, and can handle a higher capacity than the base ps5

has one, but its right next to the heatpipes thing, so the ssd will get really hot

you only need internet to pair the disc drive, after that you can go offline and still use it

😂😂😂😂😂 another one who misunderstood the video

​@@Barak50calall ps5 consoles are capable of using the same capacity. Right now you can Use an 8TB nvme in it

I would prefer you to get OG PS5 1200 because the heat sink is slightly better and fan aswell it's also tested that the OG ps5 runs a bit cooler and quiter. The OG even looks better, in my opinion. The slim looks cheap in front of the OG one. I also prefer the led on the OG one. The one thing I like about slim is the detachable disk drive, but it is useless because we need an internet connection to play the physical games, which sucks. So technically, the OG is better in every way, and it looks better and more premium. The heat sink is slightly better even Austin said that, the fan is also better and other people tested it the OG one also runs quieter than slim I would prefer the OG. You can get one at a good discount and the money you saved from the discount get a 1TB or 2TB ssd which is even better. So OG should be the pick. I hope this was helpful and let me know what you will get ^_^

I’m on the same page. Trynna buy one today

Get the PS5 Pro

I'd get the OG but 1200 model. I've had the OG 1000 it had bad heat issues got the OG 1200 last year with the GOW bundle & it's been great since. Was gonna get the slim till these videos started dropping over the past few days I don't like it. Looks super cheap, there's a gaping hole on both top sides straight down to the fans, doesn't look like it lights up anymore, & the mix match panels look like a Temu Gamestation 50 or some sh¡t 😂 the ps5 was already not the best looking but man that thing makes me appreciate my series x even more

Same idk what to do

O.G

Why would someone buy the disk from you for $80 (and not in its original packaging), while they can order one officially from Sony itself with packaging and stuff?

@@silversrayleigh1399 There are smart people out there I’ll the disc version of cod mw3 and beat it within a week and sell it on eBay for $70 I’m not like those morons that buy digital because once Sony take your $70 you never get it back

Bruh 😂😂😂 I can't believe you're actually thinking this

The disc drive locks to the system as soon as you boot it up.

If you sell it it’s gonna be mostly $50 at best lol. Sony was one step ahead, kid

You'll thank yourself when a game on the store is 60 and u find a used version for 20/40

It will cost you

Nope, it's still there. My 1st slim had loud ass buzz I uploaded a video on my channel. My 2nd one has a less loud buzz when high demand games draw high wattage like nms 60fps

Probably still cheap

Probably the same i mean specially if you use those cheap pegs they throw as a base now to be honest this had to be put out at a cheaper price i was okay with the ps5 price because it looks and feels like a premium console compare the ps4 or ps4 slim or even the pro but this doesnt look that way it looks like a chineese rip off with 500 games hahaha

Do you know the official release date?

@@gregorymitchell130I went to GameStop today and they said this Friday. They also said they have plenty. Barely have the room to store them. At least that’s what they said but who knows how accurate that is.

@Z3R0SK1LLZ sweet thanks. I went to best buy and the dude said he had new ps5s in smaller boxes dropping Friday but he said he didn't know if they were the new or og but he said they came with God of War and a controller so I figured it was just the GOW bundle I'm seeing everywhere. Appreciate it 🙏🏾

@fenix_tx_1342 The slim is for people without a Ps5. Nobody with a ps5 will upgrade to the slim with no performance increase .

@@Crashed131963some people would like to have more than one.

@@Crashed131963I already have a PS5 and my friend and we are both getting this just because it’s smaller

@@Crashed131963 I'm seriously considering replacing my PS5 because of how much smaller of a footprint it will be.

@@dakotapage-anderson3625so what you guys going to do with your current ps5 when you get the slim?

Forgive my ignorance but what do you mean?

@@coltenmatthues2716 If someone is clever enough I think they could easily create an adaptor that allows the PS5 Slim's disc drive to be connected to the PC. And I think if they were able to do it, pirates could have an easier time pirating the games because it would reduce their headaches if trying to crack the PS5's anti-piracy protection by modifying the console itself. In better cases, if they are emulators that are decent enough to play PS5 and PS4 games, they could add CD-ROM support, which allows PS5 disc drive adaptors to let playes emulate their original games more authentic to a real PS5.

@@MinecrafterPicturesThat’s not how any of that works.

The problem though is that they are stopping production of the original so now there isn't a cheaper option. Also considering that this is pretty much the same technology it still should have dropped in price because it's only a 100 extra gigabytes so why would it increase by 50$? Think about the Xbox series s carbon black getting 500 extra gigabytes for the same price increase. Not to mention charging 30$ for a stand is atrocious

Not really, considering you can buy and replace the current SSD for more storage on both units.

What if you have to register it to an account? Making it an account locked disc drive.

This is not planned obsolescence, they're just protecting customers from counterfeit accessories. /End of sarcasm.

this is a big problem and them pushing digital only future is why Consoles are losing their appeal to me , PC is the future imo if we're going to be digital only (yes i know at 500 bucks price to performance for consoles are insane , but at the same time i rather pay more and get a PC where i know i own shit and most games i have are preserved forever , and things like Steam Deck and Lenovo Legion Go are really making it worth it with their prices)

Bro even 1 tb is too little nowadays, the ps5 should of had 2tb and the ps6 should have 4 or more. The ps5 is absolutely not future proof. Expect a 500 gb game in the next 5 years

@@foxythetroll644oh no…how dare they be off by 6GB, especially when it doesn’t disprove their overall point

@@KopyKatCo facts lol

I have a 2TB 980 Pro with Heatsink. I keep the Cover plate off and my PS5(1200 Disc mod) sits Horizontally. I have absolutely 0 problems out of the Console or throttling on the SSD.. I also have Dbrand 2.0 plates with mesh filters and it sits on tempered glass which stays very cool and exhaust fans in the back. I also clean mine once every 6 months.. So reality is unless it's a full-on manufactured defect or you don't take care of it you should not have any problems out of it..

Actually that’s worse the M.2s on the new PS5 will probably suffer over heating problems now.

@@ryans413 I highly doubt it maybe if you put an SSD without a heatsink on it then slap the cover plate on then yes... but either way you go heat rises so whether you have it sitting horizontally or vertically heat is being pulled away from the SSD

The SSD on the slim mounts in the back of the unit where it's warmer. The og one is in the front in an overall cooler spot in the console away from the radiators and also has more room for a larger heatsink right by the air intake.

@@RedPillAlways I really think this will be an issue.
