Controllers,accessories and the colors/designs are sexy.
Console design is ugly but necessary for its cooling.

It’s so ugly I put it behind the TV so I never have to look at it. Everytime I see one in real life I’m like “Goddamn not only is that bitch fat but it’s ugly too. Pick a damn struggle”

I like the design but wish it came in black when I bought both mine. I don't wanna spend 50 for plates and don't want to paint mine.
Could've seen the color scheme coming though with the release of OG PSVR. I just like my electronics black. I just like black. My truck is black with black wheels and tint.
It's cool. Where's the poll?

I don’t like needing a stand. I also wish there were 2 USB-C ports in the front since the psvr2 takes the only one you got. I have to use a C to A adapter cable to use my earbuds with psvr2

At the very least the design is unique, stands out, and recognizable.
A casual would know that it’s a ps5 when they see it. I don’t think many know that it’s a series x when they first see it…

As long as its quiet, I don't care how it looks or how big/small it is.
Not sounding like a jet engine during normal operation is a big + for me.

From a marketing perspective it's genius. It stands out and draws the attention of the customer. The brand is so huge that they can get away with pretty much any design they want.

I like it, but it feels like there’s always a 30% chance it’ll slide off the shelf when it’s horizontal.

It's extremely ugly but dBrand Dark Plates 2.0 help.

One of the ugliest systems ever released. I didn’t like it when it was revealed and like it even less sitting under my TV. Would love a redesign that looks more like PS4.

Arguably my least favorite console design ever...it does what I hate and "lets make a console look like a toy that stands out in your media center" but also is to big to fit in a media center. An engineering miracle of what not to do.

I tossed mine soon as I pulled it out of the box. I'm using it vertical so whatever. It's bottom heavy and the plates sit flush. There is still a small amount of room underneath. No problems since launch.

I like it a lot, more than the ps4.
I keep it vertical always, doesnt look good horizontal.

Honestly don't care for the design and it's way too big.
Have it sitting horizontal on my table below the TV and it really stands out in not a great way. Prefer it vertical but I'm still worried my 1.7 year old is going to knock it over.
Have considered mounting it to my wall behind the TV.... Yes. This is the answer. Hide the monstrosity

I always thought it was pretty neat looking. It's definitely unique. That being said, I did buy some x-brand darkplates that got rid of the collar thing around the top and it looks even better now, like it should have looked like that from the start.

Way too big, white warped plates look ugly requiring that ridiculous stand in horizontal mode, and if we are including controllers than they are too bulky, the d-pad is near unusable (compared to the DS4) for fighting and retro games, and the battery life is unacceptable. But being able to use whatever SSD you want is a huge huge win for the PS5, plus the resistive triggers and haptic feedback of the controllers is neat.

Going based off looks and not anything else like size or fan noise, it doesn't look good especially in white.
But when you see pics of custom plates in black it looks much much better.

It looks like it should be a skyscraper.

Controller is nice but I never liked the position of the sticks personally. The console makes my Series X look even better due to the size of the PS5. If it was smaller and had different plate colors out of the box I'd like it alot more. Just bought the Starfield wrap for the X, so it's going to be hard to match that.

I'm indifferent.
It is what it is. Not especially good-looking, not bad-looking either.
Got the Digital version with Camo covers, which make it less eye-catchy.

It’s probably the most hideous console of all time. Series X looks a million times better.

I like the looks of it.
I like that when I move it from one room to the next it feels solid.
I like the nose levels being almost silent.

Thought it was the ugliest piece of industrial design I've ever seen in my life when it launched.
Haven't changed my mind, yet.

Fine. I don't really care what it looks like as long as it plays the games I like.

It's huge and ugly, I hide it best I can. I like to show all my electronics and consoles but this one? No way. Easily one of the worst looking consoles of all time for me.
