The slim looks like one of those fake PS5s you’d buy from Wish

The moveable disk drive is one of best thing happened in consoles..i remember the days in old playstation era where the drive is always broke when playing games..so much cost is spend mostly in the disk drive..as nowadays internal hardrive and SSD is a thing..so the disk drive maybe will be less used and make it live long..but having an option to just easily replaced the drive makes things much more convenient..

[kizanko]

defintely don't get the Digital only, not only is it more expensive but it will be another excuse for companies to ditch physical for digital only, which means more control over your games and the prices, and it makes it hard to fing bargains, trade games, lend games, and much more. For a few seconds of convenience you will make other things much more difficult!

[lorenzo_Angeles]

What most concerning for me is the fact that they are trying to ease out physical games for us to go all digital. I strongly dissagree with this as you never own your games.

With Black Friday sales going on I’d say going for the slim if you don’t already have a PS5 is a good way to go. From what I’ve seen, the OG PS5 and the slim bundles are the same in price $499 unless you’re able to get either for cheaper. Plus, I like having the ability to not only have a separate disk drive but be able to fix or replace it without having to buy a whole new system or maybe even having to send the whole console and be without it for however long.

Having two different panel types (glossy and matte) is the only thing that I don’t like but I guess they’re easy to replace

Tear down and cleaning is a little easier. Dust out the shell, fan, and heatsink and good to go. Leave the motherboard alone.

Thank you for showing this, I have a day 1 PS5, and while I often buy the slim variant, having listened and watched your teardown I think I will wait until my current unit packs up - and I will just put the money for that event to one side.

Very disappointed they have opted to increase the prices too - historically slim models have dropped the price and led to surge in sales.

wouldn't surprised me if they found they had nearly identical performance backing it down a few watts, but that it allowed them to remove some of the heatsink weight.

This was a really interesting video! I’m curious to see how the removable disc drive is going to work out in the long term for customers in the future. Will be an interesting thing to see play out.

Also I’d like to say thank you to Austin and the crew for the Modern Warfare III code!

Keep up the great work Austin and the rest of the team! Always enjoy seeing the new videos pop up in my subscription feed :)

I appreciate that you when you measure weight you use KG's as the primary and use a citation to display LBS as the secondary. You make videos for the world and out of the whole world only one country significantly uses LBS, so using KG's as the primary makes a lot of sense.

Man Sony just give us a damn rectangular form factor….

[romeucapelasa]

i wonder if they can get another node shrink in about 2 years if they can reuse the disk drive and just make it the bottom half, but that would probably need half of the power draw

[d-manmoe]

Got my PS5 slim disc version, Spider-Man bundle for around $400 retail. Loving every bit of it lol! The price is def coming down 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[zukarimoto_q]

With heat pipes you don't want to bend them too much especially past 90 degrees as it will slow down the heat transfer. Would be interesting to see the temps on the Slim

[clintzieandromeda]

What an awesome video. The PS5 slim looks good to me since I know it's still powerful as the original. I know some people like it and others in the opposite but to me it's just wonderful. But I can't wait for even more unboxing videos out of the slim.

[Kosackk]

Damn, they really slimmed it down pretty good! Its just as big as the PS3 or PS4 it looks like!

[coolsteve]

I like it, same performance, smaller and has a detachable disk drive which makes repairing it easier, bummer it doesn't include the vertical stand but oh well

[SpawnPoiint]

On camera the slim looks cheap. I wonder how it actually looks irl 🤔

[TerryTurner]

Just imagine if the power supply was external (the return of the power brick 😁), how small could it really become? 🤔
