He's either a very small man or the PS5 is gargantuan. I'm sure there's a reason for the design, but it's still laughably big. I'm still trying to figure out where to place it in our living room.

There are 4 screw holes inside the bay to install 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 M.2 form factor SSDs. So we can pick from 4 different sizes, and there appears to be some room inside the bay incase the drive is a bit larger. Bay is under the white plate. No idea when we will find out what drives are supported, but going off this look, seems obvious that drives like the Samsung 980 Pro will be supported. They will easily fit inside.

Not massively concerned with form factor but questions about random/seq read and write speed that would be required.

 

[Zathalus]

Stop spreading FUD, no way the PS5 is that small.

You have the measurements. Japanese people are small on average.

I'd assume ~ 7 GB/s for raw read required. Maybe 6.5+. Doubt any certain write speed is needed, not really a factor in game performance.

So from what I'm reading, the average Japanese male is 5'6" which is pretty short. Here in the U.S most guys I know are about 5'10, and I'm about 6'2. I'm guessing this dude is just kinda smallish.

Good to know you're planning on buying one. Enjoy her, shes a thicc bitch! (and hopefully quiet)

 

[edotlee]

I guess Xbox's response to Sony's teardown video?

 

[sandkiller]

I might actually do that. I just hate the "reverse oreo" design as it is.

I might go with something like this

it will fit much better in my living room...

Uhh, okay.

Ok, now show us how to take that low-quality stand off. Cheap attempt to ride the PS5 hype.

 

[SportsFan581]

I love that. Cheeky bastards.

 

[TBiddy]

Are you referring to my GF or the PS5 now?

No, in all seriousness, the PS5 is over the XSX on my shopping list for now, and it'll stay that way unless something dramatic happens.

Carbon fibre... you dirty, dirty bitch.

This must happen now. I must have it.

Goes to show why Playstation will always sell more. Xbox cannot sell their own product, they need to try and crap on other products. And then fail miserably, of course.

Your heatsink vs the heatsink she tells you not to worry about.

Agreed

 

[IntentionalPun]

Fucking Walmart!

Oh nevermind, you rock Walmart! lol

 

[kyliethicc]

you do realize DF's xbox had magnets instead of screws for demonstrations purposes right? whats the point of this?

 

[SportsFan581]

Not really a stand though, just what the bottom/side of the console looks like. I'm sure the air draw from the outside corners was intentional in an effort to kickstart the cyclonic draw they are looking for.

Lol that "how to share games" video from PS4 launch really hurt them didn't it.

I really hope there is a simple way to take it off, feels like it should just be screwed on. Only thing about the design, I dislike.

It doesn't matter...it suits his agenda.

With both plates removable I'm painting them black week one

 

[Kssio_Aug]

The console is absolutely huge. But it doesn't seem bad under the hood.

Hope you're being sarcastic, because that's clearly an answer/joke to Sony's video about trading games on PS4.

xbox said it cannot be removed.

 

[Wraith Phantom]

Posted this in the other thread, but thought it might warrant inclusion here as well:

Speaking from a marketing and communications perspective, this presentation of this teardown is absolutely perfect.

A calm Japanese man in a smart shirt (all screams 'expert!'), sitting in a clean room, slowly and confidently showing us every important aspect of the Playstation's construction.

No screaming YouTubers. No idiotic, paid off influencers. No need to overplay or exaggerate. Just a straight forward presentation that shows everyone just how well designed the inside of the console is.

And 'liquid metal cooling' will sell an extra few million consoles. Mark my fucking words.

One has real life engineer. The other had Digital Fraudery doing scripted acting playing fake enginneer. It's actually pretty sad. You can see where standards are between company's. Also video production quality. Its on the blog neat & tidy. Professional media roll out.

XSX has to be the ugliest console ever especially horizontally.

Yeah, a reply that came 7 years too late. Most MS marketing videos for the Xbox are a "response" to a PS5 feature or lack of thereof. That's a fact. And that's also why the sales will be 3:1 this gen, because they don't care about their product, they care about someone else's.

OG XB1, PS3, PS4, PS4 pro all says hello. And the PS5, not to forget.

This one tweet shows how Microsoft are STILL smarting from that Boyes & Shu game sharing video.

Elegance of simplistic design.

these guys try too hard. must have PTSD from the e3 2013 and are trying their best to get a burn in.

 

[reksveks]

Taste is really subjective, I prefer consumer electronics in my living to be boring like my TV's. But yeah, the xbox series x imo is a lot better than the ps5 for living rooms.

 

[Zoro7]

Lol you think its as easy to assemble a retail unit?

 

[BGs]

I guess Xbox's response to Sony's teardown video?

People take this very funny, but the reality is that many XSX will collapse in the heat due to poor placement. Be very careful when placing it horizontally (and where). Vertical is its "natural" position.

 

[Hendrick's]

Of course not, but it is a hell of a lot fewer parts and a much simpler design overall.

that heatsink is huge and is the one and only reason for that design. they didnt want to go with an expensive vapor chamber cooling solution like MS did and ended up saving $20 in the process.

 

[MrPotato]

will this fit in my home?

 

[Zoro7]

Of course not, but it is a hell of a lot fewer parts and a much simpler design overall.

Also runs a lot hotter apparently.

 

[SlimySnake]

That's a huge bitch, but I'm finding it more and more attractive, in a non-sexual way.

non-sexual? I was erect as a horse watching that thing.

I mean, you literally said: "Goes to show why Playstation will always sell more. Xbox cannot sell their own product, they need to try and crap on other products. And then fail miserably, of course."

So it doesn't matter if the answer came "late". The fact is that Sony did the same.

But that's just it. I won't waste time discussing this with you, cause it's pretty clear to me that I am talking to a fanboy.

I think it is more laughable that people have whole living _rooms_ and claim they dont know where to put it

Like, it is not a fridgerator or huge subwoofer so it should fit 99.99% of living rooms easily.

Real problem is people whom have some sort of decorative OCD and everything must fit the fengshui / design or it won't "fit".

It's not fault of console(s) if people have bought some tiny ass cabinets/desks because they look good, but cant even fit standard sized amplifier (which is bigger than PS5)

Functionality > looks in furniture.

Just stand it on floor or something like small "table"

Same dude with the PS4 from the PS4 teardown. (Spoiler : He's small)

LOL, that one is pretty funny
