Must just be a parts revision for cheaper manufacturing, no way it's got different performance.

There's a "Screwed" joke here somewhere, but I'm too mentally fatigued to come up with one.

Interesting. I'd love to see a break down of all of the changes/revisions.

What time is it?

Early adopters get screwed again.

Fixing that would take effort, and effort means publicity to sell the new model they invested R&D in to.
If they made substantial changes, we'd know about them, likely ahead of time. Maybe next revision

The disk drive is so quiet it's almost non existent on this model

i wonder if it still has buzzing from the power supply? i've gotten used to it and barely notice it anymore but would still be nice if it was fixed or reduced.

Maybe they realised they didnt need as big a heat sink and shrunk it a little, hopefully a you tube disassemble will appear soon to see if they gunked the power supply or what else they done
Yeah I was being cheeky; a lot of fan fare for a single screw.
. . . but then when isn't it (this is also a cheeky statement)?

I'm still in a bit of shock that the Aussies can buy a PS5 in the stores. Still can't find one here in the US in the stores.
I'm sure it screws in really well.

If it's the same model that hit Japan about a month ago it may be 300g lighter and have a different stand screw
New PS5 model released in Japan, lighter than 1st gen
Sony has reportedly updated the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition in Japan, with the 2nd generation model weighing less and having a tweaked stand.

Really want to get this variant model with the different screw. How easy is it to turn? How's the threading? Do you still get the secret compartment?
Finally, how's the ray tracing on the screw and performance?
Thanks.

Seriously tho new PS models tend to fix things that previous models has, so we'll see.

just a minor revision. most people will never be able to tell the difference. wait for the Slim model if you want a quieter/cooler system with better power consumption.

why they have changed screw head like it gets hot is beyond me....
*rubs screw head, branded in mark, on finger and winces...*
seriosly though , aint dat bad lol...
same for tvs , a flagship master tv. usually performs as good as models for years after.
but consoles, it will be cheaper components 100%

I must be one of lucky few as it does not bother me at all.
I can hear a tiny bit of it in demons souls. It ticks faster in 60fps and slower in 30fps mode. But it's so faint and quiet. 3080fe is like a coil white space rocket next to it

Don't know. We aren't allowed to leave our homes to go buy one.

That technology of the screw that doesn't require a screwdriver! 21st century tech, they should have called it the PS5 PRO!

I don't think you're one of the lucky few, rather I think people who have it are in the unlucky few.I must be one of lucky few as it does not bother me at all.

Among my friends neither I and two others have coil whine. Sony should make sure to fix and minimize the issue no doubt but to me it seems like a largely overblown problem, otherwise it would get more media coverage than anecdotal experiences on Neogaf.
