I Bought the PS5 Slim from TEMU…

I came across this "PS5 Slim" (or GS5 Slim - whatever you want to call it. Anything is better than 2.4G Wireless) on TEMU and knew I had to have it... and to be completely honest, it's not awful for ~$30, although it seems to be going for ~$40 now. Let me know what you think!

I'll be giving away this GS5 Slim on WhatNot next week! Check out the link down below - once you sign up, just search for "jacobr" and you'll find my profile. Make sure you have your account and address verified, before the auction starts, so that you have a chance to win. This will be a US only auction.

TEMU back at it again… can’t wait for their Nintendo Switch 2!

They took the word "slim" to a whole new level with this one.

30 bucks to keep your kids on some
Retro games for days. Worth it.

Wish you actually played some of the games from different systems rather than take several minutes to read the names of games and take it apart, which most consumers don’t care about!!

I grew up in the days where you’d go to a friend’s house and play Atari 2600 until your knees hurt from sitting on the floor. Then a few years later, NES graphics just blew you away with arcade quality games right on your tv. SNES? Next level! PS1? That was like scifi. Just 10 years prior, you were moving pixels around that could be 2 out of 10 colors. Huge leap in technology. I had my Tiger handheld games I’d play in bed well past my bedtime.

This $30 “slim”? Completely amazing. If I had 20, 000 games or even 2, 000 games as a kid to choose from? We had 5. And they were huge pixels, and you had to imagine two giant pixels were a tank. Without the game title and package art, you’d have no idea what kind of game you were playing.

I can’t even imagine what 40 years from now would look like. Probably some full sim where you plug in to a virtual reality where you can sit in front of a 19” crt tv, and play Atari games until your knees hurt.

All things considered, these devices might be worth it if one could connect it to a computer, gut the preinstalled software and install something like RetroArch(or your preferred retro emulation software) on it. Especially that slim one. Fits in your pocket, if you are prone to taking trips you could easily pack that along with you and hook it up to the hotel television and play some games. The controller, while not being the best, does have a form factor that mirrors the PS5 controller. So should be comfortable for the gamer on the go(and it's lighter). But I suspect that the device will work with any controller that has a USB connector.

Points off for not being able to emulate a PS1 game at actual PS1 speeds(yes, silent hill runs MUCH faster than that on native hardware, I have the game and actual hardware to run it on so I can confirm that). But I suspect that is because they used a software translator in place of an actual PS1 bios, which is known to cause PS1 emulators to require more resources to run over using a PS1 bios. So after gutting it and installing a better emulator, it might actually be able to play PS1 at PS1 speeds(maybe).

Space is apparently not an issue as when you hovered over the PS1 games, for a split second it said there were 60 games(PS1 disks used standard CD-ROM technology with a maximum of 700 MB storage). Though I think much of that is being supplemented by the 64 GB card(which they supplied).

If the software can be gutted and made better, $42 is not a bad price(especially as it comes with controllers, for those that might not already have a controller that could work with this). What Bolivar(the name of the seller shown at 2:55 ) is selling is very illegal. But if they removed all of the games and just set it up to be an emulator that you put your own games on, it could be really nice(would also solve the problem of the random numbers and massive number of duplicates as the end user would be responsible for naming and checking for duplicates).

Mom- we have the PS5 at home.
( the Ps5 at home ) 💀💀💀

[GgLe_was_my_idea]

I was already lmao at "gs3" and "gs4"
I flat lined 💀 when he pulled the little mini console out that's 4x smaller than the picture on the box, look and see if its written in fine print somewhere **enlarged to show texture**😂

[SetNBA]

I was actually surprised with the results 😮

[MrDrakePrice]

The fact that the ad i had to watch before the video was a Temu

[waveydavey]

You should have showed what PlayStation games they have

[EnriqueMcQuade]

This looks like a sequel to the Game Stick Pro.

[DragonballZTime]

A kid opening this up for christmas for real i wanna see it

[a-bootiful-mind]

"I was a little bit dissapointed it wasn't bigger"..

Me too my bro, me too.

[yaaaboi]

as a kid i would have loved this way more games than the similar game system i had as a kid

[SkreetzTalk]

Big river fighting blood tolerance 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[tobiaswehner]

Jacob the 2.4 wireless is for the controller. The frequents it used to connect via Bluetooth to the console. It has nothing to do with internet connection in that case. But I get why you would think that with 2.4 g being a internet connection thing aswell. Good video as always thank you

The reason why the names are changed is due to copyright infringement they mess up the names to get these sold and avoid Nintendo and others attacking them for selling their games
