That's not a good sign.

 

[clarky]

"Gooner" vs one of the best games in the world? I don't think so bruv.

Arsenal fans mate, not to be trusted.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Any expected surprises? I'm thinking given the size and price, maybe it really is 4/5nm?

 

[clarky]

you don't see anyone doing reviews on PC games graphics options do you?

All the time lol.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Reviews? Never got reviews of consoles. Like especially a mid gen refresh. Like we already know everything lol

They did them last gen, they will again this gen. Consume!

 

[Magic Carpet]

I like Unboxing video's, I get to pretend like I bought it myself, without spending any money.

 

[Parazels]

I don't expect any surprises from the unboxing.

 

[clarky]

I don't expect any surprises from the unboxing.

You never know when someone might be hiding in a box.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

I don't expect any surprises from the unboxing.

Yeah we'll probably have to wait for iFixit, Steve at Gamers Nexus or that dorky guy to do teardowns and power consumption tests. Will Sony even bother doing their own like with PS5?

 

[rickybooby87]

Let me see the tear down and the tech talk plz

 

[Loxus]

Hopefully we get the teardown video on the same day as the unboxing.

Size comparisons.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Fuck, HeisenbergFX4 save us with early impressions on the weekend

I am traveling Saturday to my buddies house that already has his and mine and will try to get some kind of impressions out here between doing stuff if he doesnt mind

I don't want him getting into trouble

 

[Karak]

Holy crap I legit forgot this was coming out. lol Not to long to wait for folks though.

Full disassembly please!

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Full disassembly please!

I was thinking along the lines of if its quiet or not

 

[Euler007]

That's not a good sign.

That's either very funny trolling or very dumb.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Well, there's this: https://www.playstation.com/en-in/legal/ecodesign/

So probably.

 

[thatJohann]

Neat. No interest in it yet.

[mansoor1980]

germany..........?

 

[jasondefaoite]

Unboxings are fucking useless, it's just a console in a box ffs.

I remember X-Fighter died on that hill.

 

[AW_CL]

germany..........?

I think it's German. I saw it on Instagram

 

[DinoD]

germany..........?

Na Klar!

 

[Loboxxx]

That's not a good sign.

 

[Vindicator]

Curious about the cooling solution, hopefully liquid metal unlike the Slim.

slim has liquid metal like the OG model

 

[Vindicator]

Thx, thought i read somewhere that the Slim was using regular thermal paste.

 

[mansoor1980]

Thx, thought i read somewhere that the Slim was using regular thermal paste.

the cooling solution is lighter , less heat pipes and smaller fan but it still uses liquid metal.

 

[chilichote]

Ich glaube, es ist Deutsch. Ich habe es auf Instagram gesehen

It is german!^^

 

[Vick]

This is the kind of stuff I'm expecting to see in hell.

 

[Shane89]

What about the official Sony teardown they did with ps4, ps4 pro, psvr, psvr2 and ps5?? Are they skipping it?

 

[near]

The design of this console is growing on me, the vents on the sides are starting to look sexy as the release date approaches.

 

[Loxus]

You're right.
Fingers crossed, it happens on the 3rd.

 

[King Dazzar]

All I want to know if its quiet and stable.

Did he sign an NDA or anything? If not, then there shouldn't be anything to worry about! Not his fault that he received it early if he's not a well-known streamer or what-have-you.

 

[Banjo64]

Selling this thing for £700 in the same Z tier packaging.

Only Sony.

 

[welshrat]

Yeah this is the most useful info

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

He didn’t sign an NDA but he also not supposed to be doing what he is doing for me and he can be paranoid

Also he says his unit was quiet playing COD last night but not a very stressful game either

The only thing that matters to me is whether Sony's engineers managed to address the major issue that PS5 Slim suffers from - an obnoxiously loud fan. This will obviously depend on the choice of heatsink and fan. They absolutely got it right with the launch PS5, but screwed up by including a PSU that produced a very loud coil whine. Then they fixed that with the first PS5 internal revision, but screwed up the cooling completely with the PS5 Slim revision. I am quite worried about the PS5 Pro to be honest because it is based on the Slim revision. We will see.

Had no idea about fan noise on the slim. I have a launch PS5 and never heard a sound from it. I do however remember having headphones on the whole time to play on the PS4 Pro.

Hope they don’t fuck up with the PS5 Pro.

 

[VinnyMac]

I just wanna know if my existing plates will work thats all I care about

Yes, the slim is significantly louder than the launch PS5 mainly because the fan spins faster to compensate for a much smaller heatsink. There are also several versions of fans that the slim ships with (fan lottery), worst one of which is the NMB fan which produces a whistling sound that some people refer to as UFO sound. This kind of stuff really pisses me off because there is absolutely no excuse for having a console this loud in 2024. Freaking Microsoft solved this issue in 2020 with their Series X and they are not exactly known for producing high-quality hardware - their controllers suck compare to the Dualsense as an example.

 

[bboris77]

Unfortunately, they do not. Only the bottom ones work since they want to sell their Disc attachment. They deliberately repositioned the clips on the top two plates so they only fit either on the PS5 Slim or the PS5 Pro. They are not interchangeable.

 

[mrqs]

Nice.

Sony came out years ago saying they are doing the whole eco packing

This ain't new.

 

[proandrad]

Sony didn’t send any review units to YouTubers that posted negative reactions to the announcement. Access journalism? What is Sony trying to hide?

 

[demigod]

Weird to have an embargo this long and only a couple of days before release. I wonder if it has anything to do with Monster Hunter Wilds open beta that is ending on the 3rd.
