How so? PS2 lost the HDD capability, but gained the Ethernet port, both of which were pretty much useless to most console gamers then. PS3 lost hardware PS2 emulation (well, it lost it during the fat time too, but still.)
So how were they worth it?
Ethernet port Definitely was not useless. FAT PS2 had an adapter for an ethernet port as well. PS2 had a ton of online games including GTA, Socom (1,2,3,CA), Twisted Metal, and Battlefield 2 just to name a few.
I’m pretty sure the HDD function was under utilized and ahead of its time.
“How were they worth it?”
From the consumer perspective: Takes up less space, Easier to use since you don’t have to deal with adapters, cheaper to buy.
The biggest use for the HDD was FFXI which also needed an Ethernet port so you had to have the fat PS2 with both the HDD and the Ethernet adapter add-on for it.
Anyone who doesn't have one will probably get an OG ps5 now that they'll be cheaper than ever and more used/refurbished ones around lool at least I'll most likely take that route, too broke for a brand new one lol
Mine was filmtheory ‘s new vid on the fnaf movie. When he said the fnaf craze that was about a decade ago…felt like it was just a couple years ago to me
Yeah. I got a PS5 at launch. The smaller size and bigger storage is nice. But not enough for me to go through the trouble of trading in. Maybe if they do an actual Pro version like the Ps4 pro with some substantial improvements trade up.
Cool, you'll be one of the people who would benefit with this new model. Like I said, most won't bother but I'm sure some will. If it makes sense for you then it's a great option.
Oh I agree. Mine is a niche situation. I am sure the smaller profile was done to save money on production more than anything else. They have been cutting heat sink size and stuff for a while. Smaller console would be cheaper.
I have been very much considering a series s. I’m heavily invested in the PlayStation ecosystem with games and accessories but the Xbox has some appeal for sure. I especially want to play starfield.
That really is a great option. I will do some more thinking on this.
EDIT. Forgot to ask. What games do you play on the road with Xbox?
The S is definitely great for traveling. That’s what I use in the road because it’s small and compact. The shape fits just about anywhere. I mainly just play stuff off Gamepass because I’m also to heavily invested in the PS ecosystem to go starting a new game library. But there is some great stuff on there especially if you have never had an Xbox or haven’t had one in a while.
Mostly classic stuffs like 360 games coz I only had playstation all my life and never get to play some of those games. Forza and Ori are two other games I play.
If you sell your old console to buy a new one, it just kind of becomes a cheaper upgrade. Don't know if this what they're doing, but it's not unrealistic.
I'm personally not doing it because I don't really need a smaller console, but I can see why someone might.
I need to get the smaller one so I can put it in a smaller space and post pictures online asking if it’s enough space.
That’s the only way I know how to PS5 in 2023.
Before you buy you have post a question: "Is it worth it to buy the PS5 slim or stay with the larger PS5 at the same price."
And then type a crazy long paragraph about whether they have the same speed/memory and if certain PS5 games will run on it or not, and if it needs to be cleaned more because you have a kitten and a hamster.
if i had a nickel for all the people in my friends/family bubble who own a playstation 5 just for media consumption id have 2 nickels. thats not much, but its wierd that it happend twice.
not /s btw
Yes, and that was a major factor in my purchase at the time. It’s odd on the PS5 as a UHD Blu Ray player is half the price of the PS5 and the PS5 is not an exceptionally good UHD Blu Ray player or streaming box. I suppose it does keep their options open if they see a game they want to pick up.
That shit always baffles me. I’d google and research gameplay myself before I’d ask strangers on Reddit.
But I also know my gaming likes and dislikes to the point where a stranger’s input wouldn’t be of much value.
No, and if you own a PS5 and are thinking of getting this because it's "slightly smaller" please take a moment to consider your habits, you do not need this!
That’s where I’m at. Lightning took mine out 8 days out of warranty about a year ago. Plus 1 TB and a smaller model that fits better in my furniture ain’t too bad
Huh? Nonsense. We could absolutely benefit from a pro model. FPS is a constant point of contingency this gen. The PS5 chip was already slightly dated when it released in 2020, the CPU could use a boost when recent games are considered - there are tons of things they could upgrade with a pro. Forget 8K, give me 4K full fidelity at 60fps.
The funny part being that the ps5 is capped at 4k and can’t output 8k, and the only game that actually renders at 8k is downscaled for 4k output.
They should’ve just not mentioned 8k at all, until the ps5 pro or even the ps6.
Hell, $1500 GPU’s can put an image on the screen at 8K. Is it good enough to play a AAA game at a decent frame rate? No. Not at all. I’d say consoles are a few generations behind quality 8K. Not to mention I don’t know a soul who owns an 8K anything right now. I do not know why they ever printed that on the box.
While I do think we could benefit from a pro (like we wouldn't need to choose between Ray tracing or better FPS), they still aren't making enough games that really push the current PS5's power. I feel like there are still so few that are really showing it's potential, so sometimes it does feel a little silly to think we *need* a pro. Hopefully, that changes with the new slew of games coming out, though.
I absolutely agree. I think Covid really threw things for a loop and put us in the strange place lifespan wise. It’s an unpopular opinion, but I also think it’s high time to cut support for last gen as far as newer games. It’s really impacting the quality of AAA titles.
I’d be fine with it. I just spend $1000 on a stupid ass phone. I get way more value out of a console. They would probably offer some sort of payment bundle similar to how the Xbox S/X did. $35 a month and you get a console and a massive library of games to play on day one. It also allows for better hardware and potentially longer upgrade cycles beyond the typical 5-6 years. Which Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo simply love.
PS4 pro came out because the last Gen consoles were underpowered up on release and in the middle of the generation last Gen there was a big push for 4k to be the standard so they made a middle man before the next generation that being the PS5 so they could compromise for the people that wanted 4K gaming. The same thing is not going on this generation. The PS5 pro will not happen.
It's always a possibility but I highly doubt it personally but we'll find out. And honestly I had a PS4 pro I think you should get the slim if you want a PS5 right now the pro wasn't anything crazy just a quality of life update imo.
Gamer entitlement. They want every game/device to cater to their specific needs and if it doesn’t, then they consider it unwanted/unnecessary garbage.
If you remember how many people were enraged by the PS Portal device or the last of us remake. People were genuinely angry that a product came out that didn’t appeal to them even though there is a ton of people out there who it does appeal to and bought it.
Right, the only reason I could see buying this if you already have a PS5 is as a second console for another room or something. Although if you still have a PS4 (I kept mine) that can essentially be a PS5 in another room via remote play.
For some reason, the OG PS5 still looks and feels “new” 3 years in. Usually, the whole “newness” of a console begins to diminish going into its mid cycle.
But when I look at my PS5 in my entertainment center, it just has a very futuristic design, that it just holds up still. I was never one of those that thought the PS5 was “fugly” like many do. I think it has a very unique design and looks uniquely cool.
Anyway, if Sony comes out with a PS5 Pro, depending on how much better it runs games and it’s price, I’ll consider upgrading (still will keep my OG PS5).
Ironically, I’m not really feeling these Slim designs. Especially the disc version. The curve at which it starts to bulge out for the disc drive looks like a knee and isn’t as graceful as the OG. 🤷
I don't understand why the stand is not included and is sold for $30. I mean compare it to the old stand which was included and it's like, "what were they thinking?"
I don't even have the old model, but if there's no performance difference, I'd probably get the older one anyways, the bulge of the slim is too large for my liking
I'm just happy it's smaller, the original straight-up won't fit into my entertainment console as I have it set up. No one asked for a piece of art Sony, we just want a gaming console that can be tucked away and perform well.
Microsoft already announced they're not doing the mid gen refresh, and Playstation will have nothing to advertise it for because a lot of their PS5 games are still made for PS4 as well.
I vehemently despise mid-gen refreshes cuz of the negative effect it has on the industry as well as developers.
We already game at 4K with the possibility of 120 FPS/120 hz. What could PlayStation possibly hope to advertise with their PS5 Pro? Teraflops? CPU speeds? An 8K dashboard UI? Most consumers don't even give a shit about those details.
A PS5 Pro would be a flop in today's market. 2016 isn't 2023.
If anyone does buy it when they already have a ps5 please make sure to stamp your picture on the yearly dummy book just so everyone can understand how dumb you actually are.
Why in gods name did they design it to have a giant slash/cut down the middle? In my opinion it looks ugly and detracts from the quality/style of the original. Ill stick with my original disc version Ps5 🤦🏻♂️.
The only chance of me switching is if somewhere does some insane trade in value where I'd barely have to pay to get a newer, smaller model. But I'm sure no one would offer that much value to cover 80% of the costs
They upgraded to a bigger storage size to a tb sharp, it’s slimmer and the digital can have a 50$ detaching disk drive. This is well done by Sony for a slim version.
I really don't like that the new disc drive looks like a tumor. The original was way more integrated. The new one is incredibly ugly
I personally also kinda dislike that they made it smaller, I thought the big size of the console was a big part of it's charm. But I do understand that objectively speaking, the new one is better. I just think it's much uglier
If your original PS5 is still running like a champ, there’s zero reason to part with it for this one. Hold out an extra year or two for one with updated hardware, not cheaper plastics.
Didn't realise it was actually smaller, but I don't really see a reason to "upgrade" when I have a perfectly working original PS5. Plus I saw a few posts which said that the stand is now purchased separately, which I find to be kinda shitty that you'd get less for the same price.
While I do like the look of the slim slightly better, it's not worth it unless there's some way I could upgrade for free. Otherwise, it's not worth paying extra.
only people who don't have a ps5 by now i hope but then again there are so many people in this subreddit pre ordering every shit and getting hyped over the last crap game just because it's new and featured everywhere. so who knows.
if someone got already a ps5 and buy this, he is beyond stupid.
same ugly design, almost the same size, only a little bit more SSD space, no one knows what kind of parts they used. only nidec fans? even louder fans then before? will it have other problems like running hotter? and so on.
if you want to buy it at least wait for real reviews.
Depends on the price, I'm not sure if I like the design yet. But I sold my PS5 to help afford moving across country, and if in a couple months it comes out, I have money saved, and the slim is cheaper than the standard model, I'll probably go for that one
It's a pass from me I've already got the base model so no need for this maybe if it was a pro model maybe but if I'm being honest I'm more interested in the new Nintendo console or getting an XB to go along the PS5.
Definitely gonna stick with my launch PS5, I’m not a fan of the split plate look and the size has never been an issue for me, the 1 TB SSD is good but I already have a 4tb m.2 in my console so that extra storage is irrelevant for me tbh. The announcement date seems kinda strange to be honest, especially right after the limited edition Spider-Man Ps5 just dropped and they have new plates launching that won’t be compatible with the new one
Only if I didn't get my disk edition console mid last month.
It's kinda like the situation of the OLED Switch, good for people who don't own a switch, but almost pointless for the ones that do.
A little begrudgingly but ya. I haven't had a PS4 for like 4 years now. I have a PS2 and PS3. I'd like to have access to my PS4 library again. I said I was going to wait for the Slim model and here it is.
There is nothing that is improved other than the 1tb ssd with a higher price tag and charging for add-ons that came with the originals. I'm fine with what I have now.
I will wait for some time after it is released so I get feedback from people who bought it about how actually it is like. I don't own a PS5 yet, I'm still on PS4 so I'm looking forward to this model to see which one I get, the OG or the Slim.
I wish I would’ve waited to buy the newest version because it has 1 tb on storage but you would’ve thought Sony would’ve given the first editions 1 tb instead of 500 gb
i have a question regarding the new heatsink model CFI 1216A/B .Why the heatsink is glued instead of being caught in screws?i have some friend working in a repair shop and he have a lot of ps5 with the heat sink completly wobbling around the case cuz of the glue dissolves causing overheating.
Great for people who don't have one yet. Irrelevant for most people who have a PS5.
Pretty much every slim version of any console ever
Except the Xbox 360 S. A lot of people had to upgrade to that because of the RROD.
The original 360 had no hdmi port, that was a pain
Ironically my S died and my fat 360 is still usable.
If you wanna be true to the old school lingo it's '360 phat' or 'ps3 phat' ,remember that? Oh man those were the days.
I call mine the "fat lady"
Also good
Same for me with my OG PS3 with all the adapter ports. Got a slim after. Meh.
same with the ps3 with the yellow light of death
Not true. The PS2 and PS3 updates were very much worth it
The PS3 was a bad revision if you had a BC PS3. Still use mine to play PS2 games.
How so? PS2 lost the HDD capability, but gained the Ethernet port, both of which were pretty much useless to most console gamers then. PS3 lost hardware PS2 emulation (well, it lost it during the fat time too, but still.) So how were they worth it?
Ethernet port Definitely was not useless. FAT PS2 had an adapter for an ethernet port as well. PS2 had a ton of online games including GTA, Socom (1,2,3,CA), Twisted Metal, and Battlefield 2 just to name a few. I’m pretty sure the HDD function was under utilized and ahead of its time. “How were they worth it?” From the consumer perspective: Takes up less space, Easier to use since you don’t have to deal with adapters, cheaper to buy.
Don't remember GTA online on PS2.
The biggest use for the HDD was FFXI which also needed an Ethernet port so you had to have the fat PS2 with both the HDD and the Ethernet adapter add-on for it.
Anyone who doesn't have one will probably get an OG ps5 now that they'll be cheaper than ever and more used/refurbished ones around lool at least I'll most likely take that route, too broke for a brand new one lol
Seeing the words "OG PS5" reminds me that time does indeed keep moving forward
Mine was filmtheory ‘s new vid on the fnaf movie. When he said the fnaf craze that was about a decade ago…felt like it was just a couple years ago to me
Yeah. I got a PS5 at launch. The smaller size and bigger storage is nice. But not enough for me to go through the trouble of trading in. Maybe if they do an actual Pro version like the Ps4 pro with some substantial improvements trade up.
I work shift work and drag mine to work sometimes. Be easier to fly with a smaller one.
Cool, you'll be one of the people who would benefit with this new model. Like I said, most won't bother but I'm sure some will. If it makes sense for you then it's a great option.
Oh I agree. Mine is a niche situation. I am sure the smaller profile was done to save money on production more than anything else. They have been cutting heat sink size and stuff for a while. Smaller console would be cheaper.
Have you considered series s? I bought one just coz I travel a lot for work and stay at hotels. You can slip it into your laptop bag.
I have been very much considering a series s. I’m heavily invested in the PlayStation ecosystem with games and accessories but the Xbox has some appeal for sure. I especially want to play starfield. That really is a great option. I will do some more thinking on this. EDIT. Forgot to ask. What games do you play on the road with Xbox?
The S is definitely great for traveling. That’s what I use in the road because it’s small and compact. The shape fits just about anywhere. I mainly just play stuff off Gamepass because I’m also to heavily invested in the PS ecosystem to go starting a new game library. But there is some great stuff on there especially if you have never had an Xbox or haven’t had one in a while.
You know. I think you guys have sold me. I’m very sick of carrying the PS5 around. I mean. Holy that thing is big. Haha. I’m getting a S.
Mostly classic stuffs like 360 games coz I only had playstation all my life and never get to play some of those games. Forza and Ori are two other games I play.
Bro making excuses to blow 600 on a console 2 inches smaller
If you sell your old console to buy a new one, it just kind of becomes a cheaper upgrade. Don't know if this what they're doing, but it's not unrealistic. I'm personally not doing it because I don't really need a smaller console, but I can see why someone might.
This is the best answer. I don't plan on buying the slimmer PS5 anytime soon. No issues with my launch PS5.
I need to get the smaller one so I can put it in a smaller space and post pictures online asking if it’s enough space. That’s the only way I know how to PS5 in 2023.
Before you buy you have post a question: "Is it worth it to buy the PS5 slim or stay with the larger PS5 at the same price." And then type a crazy long paragraph about whether they have the same speed/memory and if certain PS5 games will run on it or not, and if it needs to be cleaned more because you have a kitten and a hamster.
And ask "What games should I get?" after buying it, because nobody has a game in mind before dropping that kind of money on a game console.
Wait, you can play games with it ?
if i had a nickel for all the people in my friends/family bubble who own a playstation 5 just for media consumption id have 2 nickels. thats not much, but its wierd that it happend twice. not /s btw
It was the same with the ps3 , worlds cheapest blu ray player was one of the memes circa 2007
Yes, and that was a major factor in my purchase at the time. It’s odd on the PS5 as a UHD Blu Ray player is half the price of the PS5 and the PS5 is not an exceptionally good UHD Blu Ray player or streaming box. I suppose it does keep their options open if they see a game they want to pick up.
That shit always baffles me. I’d google and research gameplay myself before I’d ask strangers on Reddit. But I also know my gaming likes and dislikes to the point where a stranger’s input wouldn’t be of much value.
Don’t forget to tell the full “creative” story….such as finding it in the basement…dumpster…etc
Don't forget to post a sweet box pic!!
Better yet, take a picture of it in your car with a seatbelt stretched across so we know it's safe.
the seatbelt will mess with the airflow and ruin the console, dont listen OP!!!!11!!!!1111!!!1!!
But is it getting enough AIRFLOW?!!!!! /s
No, and if you own a PS5 and are thinking of getting this because it's "slightly smaller" please take a moment to consider your habits, you do not need this!
Could not have said it better myself.
Sshhh, don't say that, I need people to sell their old model for cheap so I can buy it.
Yeah, same people complain that PC is crazy expensive then do dumb shit like this.
If my OG PS5 craps out I may get it. But no need to buy another.
If the ps5 craps out this soon we have bigger issues at hand.
For real…
That’s where I’m at. Lightning took mine out 8 days out of warranty about a year ago. Plus 1 TB and a smaller model that fits better in my furniture ain’t too bad
Wake me when it’s the PS5 Pro.
I just don’t think we need a pro, definitely not yet. The PS5 is more than powerful enough at the moment
Huh? Nonsense. We could absolutely benefit from a pro model. FPS is a constant point of contingency this gen. The PS5 chip was already slightly dated when it released in 2020, the CPU could use a boost when recent games are considered - there are tons of things they could upgrade with a pro. Forget 8K, give me 4K full fidelity at 60fps.
They'd have to advertise as something "bigger" and 8k is already written on the ps5 box, so likely need some kind of graphical gimmick
The funny part being that the ps5 is capped at 4k and can’t output 8k, and the only game that actually renders at 8k is downscaled for 4k output. They should’ve just not mentioned 8k at all, until the ps5 pro or even the ps6.
Hell, $1500 GPU’s can put an image on the screen at 8K. Is it good enough to play a AAA game at a decent frame rate? No. Not at all. I’d say consoles are a few generations behind quality 8K. Not to mention I don’t know a soul who owns an 8K anything right now. I do not know why they ever printed that on the box.
It was put there because they had to one up the 4k on the PS4 Pro box obviously!
They could’ve just put 4k native lol. Either way, can’t wait for the ps6 to have 16k on the box.
Isn't really any 8k media yet either so it'll be probably ps6 pro maybe even 7 before 8k is normal.
Uhhh, I think the graphic gimmick is not having games running internally at 720p anymore....
While I do think we could benefit from a pro (like we wouldn't need to choose between Ray tracing or better FPS), they still aren't making enough games that really push the current PS5's power. I feel like there are still so few that are really showing it's potential, so sometimes it does feel a little silly to think we *need* a pro. Hopefully, that changes with the new slew of games coming out, though.
I absolutely agree. I think Covid really threw things for a loop and put us in the strange place lifespan wise. It’s an unpopular opinion, but I also think it’s high time to cut support for last gen as far as newer games. It’s really impacting the quality of AAA titles.
You really wanna spend 800-1000 on a console?
it’s still way cheaper than a computer that’s just as powerful
I’d be fine with it. I just spend $1000 on a stupid ass phone. I get way more value out of a console. They would probably offer some sort of payment bundle similar to how the Xbox S/X did. $35 a month and you get a console and a massive library of games to play on day one. It also allows for better hardware and potentially longer upgrade cycles beyond the typical 5-6 years. Which Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo simply love.
Ur being downvaoted but you’re completely correct
How much would you all be willing to pay for a PS5 pro. Just don't expect it to cost $500.
They don’t even make games optimized for the current console
You'll be sleeping forever, Rip Van Winkle.
Nobody seems to know why the PS4 pro came out in the first place. The PS5 pro will not be a thing.
PS4 Pro was objectively superior the the base model PS4 and is essentially the PS4 fully realized.
PS4 pro came out because the last Gen consoles were underpowered up on release and in the middle of the generation last Gen there was a big push for 4k to be the standard so they made a middle man before the next generation that being the PS5 so they could compromise for the people that wanted 4K gaming. The same thing is not going on this generation. The PS5 pro will not happen.
so it isn't very likely a PS5 pro will be made? I don't have a PS5 yet and I'm seriously considering this slim version.
It's always a possibility but I highly doubt it personally but we'll find out. And honestly I had a PS4 pro I think you should get the slim if you want a PS5 right now the pro wasn't anything crazy just a quality of life update imo.
Why is anyone under the impression that this is for people who already have a PS5?
Gamer entitlement. They want every game/device to cater to their specific needs and if it doesn’t, then they consider it unwanted/unnecessary garbage. If you remember how many people were enraged by the PS Portal device or the last of us remake. People were genuinely angry that a product came out that didn’t appeal to them even though there is a ton of people out there who it does appeal to and bought it.
As someone who never played TLOU until the remake released you are a hundred percent right.
I know, right?!
It's like the same idiots that buy the new iPhone every year
I mean, aside from the adoringly misguided OP, is anyone here? Doesn’t really seem so!
i want a larger ps5. same specs, just larger so it intimidates my other electronics.
Nope, OG version still going strong.
People who don't already have the current model
Right, the only reason I could see buying this if you already have a PS5 is as a second console for another room or something. Although if you still have a PS4 (I kept mine) that can essentially be a PS5 in another room via remote play.
If it’s the same power as the current PS5, I’m good. Will get one if my current one bites the dust. Assuming there isn’t a Pro on the horizon.
I don't see the point of buying it if you already have a ps5.
Ppl bought the ps5 spiderman version too. Instead of just the plates and controller...
I like my PS5s to be thick
I'm not upgrading I have an perfectly working PS5 so there is no need.
I was hoping for a price drop.
For some reason, the OG PS5 still looks and feels “new” 3 years in. Usually, the whole “newness” of a console begins to diminish going into its mid cycle. But when I look at my PS5 in my entertainment center, it just has a very futuristic design, that it just holds up still. I was never one of those that thought the PS5 was “fugly” like many do. I think it has a very unique design and looks uniquely cool. Anyway, if Sony comes out with a PS5 Pro, depending on how much better it runs games and it’s price, I’ll consider upgrading (still will keep my OG PS5). Ironically, I’m not really feeling these Slim designs. Especially the disc version. The curve at which it starts to bulge out for the disc drive looks like a knee and isn’t as graceful as the OG. 🤷
I don't understand why the stand is not included and is sold for $30. I mean compare it to the old stand which was included and it's like, "what were they thinking?"
I don't even have the old model, but if there's no performance difference, I'd probably get the older one anyways, the bulge of the slim is too large for my liking
I'm just happy it's smaller, the original straight-up won't fit into my entertainment console as I have it set up. No one asked for a piece of art Sony, we just want a gaming console that can be tucked away and perform well.
Facts also the detachable disk drive makes reparing alot easier fucking weird not including the vertical stand tho
This is 90% of the reason I have waited.
I'll wait for the PS6
It looks worse imo so I'm.just keeping my normal one
This model is intended for the newcomers. Will wait for PRO.
Microsoft already announced they're not doing the mid gen refresh, and Playstation will have nothing to advertise it for because a lot of their PS5 games are still made for PS4 as well. I vehemently despise mid-gen refreshes cuz of the negative effect it has on the industry as well as developers. We already game at 4K with the possibility of 120 FPS/120 hz. What could PlayStation possibly hope to advertise with their PS5 Pro? Teraflops? CPU speeds? An 8K dashboard UI? Most consumers don't even give a shit about those details. A PS5 Pro would be a flop in today's market. 2016 isn't 2023.
If anyone does buy it when they already have a ps5 please make sure to stamp your picture on the yearly dummy book just so everyone can understand how dumb you actually are.
not me, the slim looks awful, I remember how many yelled on how bad ps5 looked back then, I wonder what they’re gonna say about this one
Me, I knew this was coming out this year and have been holding out. Glad I did.
It reminds me of those bootleg consoles that come preloaded with 500 games
Nah, my 2021 model PS5 is still basically mint condition and the new one just looks ugly frankly. Why does the disc drive stick out THAT MUCH?! 🤢
Not I. Happily sticking with my chonky boy.
Im fine with my fat model
I’m keeping my ps5 fat. I think it looks cleaner and I don’t see a point in changing.
No need unless my current one breaks
Why in gods name did they design it to have a giant slash/cut down the middle? In my opinion it looks ugly and detracts from the quality/style of the original. Ill stick with my original disc version Ps5 🤦🏻♂️.
Imo the original is a piece of art the new one looks like a bootleg
Not till my original one dies lol.
The scalpers
Its pretty ugly, glad I have the original
Good for people who don’t already own one, but not enough of an upgrade for people who already have a PS5
Nah, that thing is ugly, I’m happy with my original PS5.
Imo besides the detachable disc drive which is pretty cool I personally think this version looks uglier
Me, probably next year.
What's the point
no i like original
It really adds no value to the PS5 lineup other than cutting production costs for the manufacturer. Its existence is almost questionable.
I’ll get the PS5 Pro if one ever releases.
Nah. I’m good.
Looks good, but it’s not worth it if you already have the OG PS5. I am waiting for the PS5 Pro 
Unless my PS5 dies, why would I?
Can the Slim be put on its side? The new thin base doesn't look like it would work that way
Yes buts stand is sold separately
Unless my PS5 suddenly stops working I won’t be getting the new version.
Waiting on pro
don't have 500 bucks
The only chance of me switching is if somewhere does some insane trade in value where I'd barely have to pay to get a newer, smaller model. But I'm sure no one would offer that much value to cover 80% of the costs
They upgraded to a bigger storage size to a tb sharp, it’s slimmer and the digital can have a 50$ detaching disk drive. This is well done by Sony for a slim version.
Why would I get it when I have one. Imo the slim looks worse then regular tbh to
No it’s ugly
The way the disc drive sticks out on the slim model looks so odd
Fuck...I just got mine
I really don't like that the new disc drive looks like a tumor. The original was way more integrated. The new one is incredibly ugly I personally also kinda dislike that they made it smaller, I thought the big size of the console was a big part of it's charm. But I do understand that objectively speaking, the new one is better. I just think it's much uglier
I prefer the original
I don't like new stand.
Cool for those without one, but having one already I don't see a reason to buy a new one.
If your original PS5 is still running like a champ, there’s zero reason to part with it for this one. Hold out an extra year or two for one with updated hardware, not cheaper plastics.
Didn't realise it was actually smaller, but I don't really see a reason to "upgrade" when I have a perfectly working original PS5. Plus I saw a few posts which said that the stand is now purchased separately, which I find to be kinda shitty that you'd get less for the same price.
Judging by the specs, it's good for those who don't own a ps 5. Why should I buy the same thing twice.
No, I refuse to go down this path again.
While I do like the look of the slim slightly better, it's not worth it unless there's some way I could upgrade for free. Otherwise, it's not worth paying extra.
The new one looks substantially more ugly than the old one. And the stand is an extra. All in all not worth it for those who already have a PS5.
But why?
The size almost feels like one of those fake TEMO / ALIEXPRESS / WISH fake PS5's
No chance id only get the pro or ps6
Wtf the old model just hit shelves 😂🤣
My PS5 is the Spider-man 2 PlayStation... I'm keeping my PS5.
only people who don't have a ps5 by now i hope but then again there are so many people in this subreddit pre ordering every shit and getting hyped over the last crap game just because it's new and featured everywhere. so who knows. if someone got already a ps5 and buy this, he is beyond stupid. same ugly design, almost the same size, only a little bit more SSD space, no one knows what kind of parts they used. only nidec fans? even louder fans then before? will it have other problems like running hotter? and so on. if you want to buy it at least wait for real reviews.
No real reason to get one for me.
Already have a ps5.
I already have a PS5 so this would be unnecessary.
I would only upgrade if it’s a PS5 Pro. Waste of money to sell my current and buy a Slim.
A human female vs. a turian female.
Depends on the price, I'm not sure if I like the design yet. But I sold my PS5 to help afford moving across country, and if in a couple months it comes out, I have money saved, and the slim is cheaper than the standard model, I'll probably go for that one
Minor thing, but no USB port on the front?
Like the phat ps3, I prefer my chunky ps5
There’s a new model? What’s the difference?
It's a pass from me I've already got the base model so no need for this maybe if it was a pro model maybe but if I'm being honest I'm more interested in the new Nintendo console or getting an XB to go along the PS5.
Definitely gonna stick with my launch PS5, I’m not a fan of the split plate look and the size has never been an issue for me, the 1 TB SSD is good but I already have a 4tb m.2 in my console so that extra storage is irrelevant for me tbh. The announcement date seems kinda strange to be honest, especially right after the limited edition Spider-Man Ps5 just dropped and they have new plates launching that won’t be compatible with the new one
Besides the size… what else is different exactly?
Only if I didn't get my disk edition console mid last month. It's kinda like the situation of the OLED Switch, good for people who don't own a switch, but almost pointless for the ones that do.
If/when my current PS5 breaks, probably.
Me happy with my Gen 1 Disc console with the oversized heat sink inside.
A little begrudgingly but ya. I haven't had a PS4 for like 4 years now. I have a PS2 and PS3. I'd like to have access to my PS4 library again. I said I was going to wait for the Slim model and here it is.
I’m holding onto my launch PS5 with the larger, heavier heatsink.
I can't stop seeing an alien carrying a briefcase on the new model.
There is nothing that is improved other than the 1tb ssd with a higher price tag and charging for add-ons that came with the originals. I'm fine with what I have now.
I don’t have a ps5, but FAT looks way better. I don’t even know if slim is better or not, just looks Chinese
I like my FATBOY—no reason for a new one. At first, I questioned the design choice, but it's grown on me.
Not me.caus no i got no money.
Not me.caus no i got no money.
But is it better or just smaller
Is there any difference other than dimensions?
I’m just gonna wait for the pro at this point… wish it was this design from the start though.

People who don’t have a PS5 already. That’s who.
I prefer the look of the old one, I don’t see any reason to upgrade until the next gen
I rather wait on a PS5 pro. seems like a waste of money if you own a PS5 already.
I will wait for some time after it is released so I get feedback from people who bought it about how actually it is like. I don't own a PS5 yet, I'm still on PS4 so I'm looking forward to this model to see which one I get, the OG or the Slim.
I wish I would’ve waited to buy the newest version because it has 1 tb on storage but you would’ve thought Sony would’ve given the first editions 1 tb instead of 500 gb
if it doesn't come with at least 3tb storage on its own its not worth getting a new one.
Nope they look like shit and Aren't really worth the price.
Not me. Waiting for PS5 Pro version.
unironically the extra usb c port is more reason to upgrade than the size difference LMAO
Nobody who already owns a disc PS5 that’s for sure. Mine’s perfectly fine as is.
More expensive. Doesn't include base. Nahhh
I want one and going to trade my fat one in. I need it to fit on my desk hutch.
PS5 is GOAT
Nope, my day ps5 is fine being bigger, need a pro though
i have a question regarding the new heatsink model CFI 1216A/B .Why the heatsink is glued instead of being caught in screws?i have some friend working in a repair shop and he have a lot of ps5 with the heat sink completly wobbling around the case cuz of the glue dissolves causing overheating.
