My HONEST Review of the PS5 SLIM! (Unboxing and Problems)

Follow me on social media:

As the holiday season approaches, we are excited to share that we have a new PS5 model launching. To address the evolving needs of players, our engineering and design teams collaborated on a new form factor that provides greater choice and flexibility. The same technology features that make PS5 the best to play are packed into a smaller form factor, along with an attachable Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive and a 1TB SSD for more internal storage. The new PS5 has been reduced in volume by more than 30%, and weight by 18% and 24% compared to the previous models. There are four separate cover panels, with the top portion in a glossy look, while the bottom remains in matte. If you purchase the PS5 Digital Edition, you can add the Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive for PS5 later, as it will also be sold separately for 79.99 USD | 119.99 EURO | 99.99 GBP | 11,980 JPY. The recommended retail prices for the new PS5 model are as follows beginning with the rollout in November at participating retailers.

U.S.
PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – 499.99 USD
PS5 Digital Edition – 449.99 USD

The fact is that they have found a way to make the console cheaper, but they are choosing not to pass the saving on to the consumer.
Corporate greed knows no bounds, unfortunately.

Quick correction for you, the stand is for vertical, not horizontal.

The system comes with the plastic clips for horizontal.

Have a nice day!

Sony - remove the stand and charge them $30 more, if they want the disc drive charge them $80

Valve - add an oled screen and keep the prices the same. Throw in a case for the deck as well

Dreamcast Guy don’t get half the credit he deserves he is always giving us his reviews faster then most of his counterparts on YouTube.

[impetergarcia]

Got mine yesterday night and tbh I like it can’t complain I waited 3 years to get one and honestly it’s perfect

[michaeldietz]

Lol those brutally honest reviews of GTA collection and cyberpunk 2077 a perfect examples of your honesty lol

[GodofWarChuka]

I’ll just be sticking with my launch edition one for a long time yet.

[kazreij]

I like my ‘old’ ps5 just fine… got it after TWO years!

[justinhalen]

so maxy boy didnt even notice the ps5 slim does come with a horizontal stand, but its just some plastic pegs, he probally through out.. the stand sold seperatly is vertical, but apparently its optional since he proved that it can stand up without it...

[Dan_Vice]

PS5 is not something I have to carry it everyday. Since there's not any performance upgrade, it's a pass for me.

[trancepower]

So that famous 8K print is back on the box.

[luigihatesyou]

To be honest the OG PS5 looks like a more premium unit well the slim looks like a cheaper unit

[mikeabney]

Imagine having to register your video game machine with the This should be a problem for everybody.
If I have to register my video game machine with the government I'm not going to get it.

[GrayMongerArk]

I've always been a fan of brutal honesty I find it amusing

[leo]

Why the f did you buy this you don't need it it is the same as the normal PS5 but you have to consume

[adrnacad]

Thank god I just bought the last original PS5 at my local walmart today.

[PizzaSage]

Honestly, requesting a channel name change to playstationguy. Hopefully this url & username are available 🤞

[simonrockstream]

For the first time ever, im so glad I got the OG one.

The disc thing with Slim models is like the first boot for Xbox that requires internet, at least that's what I need to do when I got XSX earlier this year! Keeping the same price for a refresh model is pretty disappointing!
