Awesome Tips The Slim PlayStation 5: Hands-On
This new PS5 is smaller, lighter and has a tiny bit more storage, but the price stops it from being a must-have upgrade.

Excellent review. Best review on the PS5 slim actually because you compared it with other competing consoles.
What a waste of money. Glad I don’t play video games anymore
When I first got the ps5 st launch I swore I’d trade it in for a smaller redesign asap. I’ve since re arranged my setup to accommodate its bigger size and now am indifferent. The fact that this is barely smaller means I see little reason to “upgrade” for 95% of existing Ps5 owners
As much as I want a ps5 i don’t really need one at the moment, I’ll wait for the pro version instead if it ever comes out
Why does every YouTube video mention that you have to have an internet connection to use the disc drive? Does that matter at all?
There are benefits to both production and to the consumer in having the device smaller. It fits places easier, it's cheaper to make. That's it. Simple. It's not significantly cheaper or smaller, so it would be silly to sell your original PS5 in order to get this version, BUT it has some perks if you're thinking about getting one for the first time.
Hey mate, when is this being released in Australia? Crikey we’re always the last to get stuff down under. ☹️
I want to see it as slim as the PS2 version.
It feels not long ago that people stopped paying resell pricing.
First video I ever saw on YouTube with the vertical stand. Looking good. I only wish SONY would just come out with it on Europe. That is disappointing. If it doesn't come this year, after waiting 3 years to get one, I will give up on PlayStation ecosystem forever. I am quite happy ever since Valve released the Steam Deck. Gave up my PS4 Pro completely since then.
damn hes hot
I am waiting for the ps5 pro!
2TB of storage should be the minimum already!!!
Bought the ps5 slim on launch day and I really like the look of it sitting Vertical except I would like black plates on it
Have they released the digital version on this "slim" ps5?
IS NOT THE SLIM VERSION. Sony never said it, it is just a revision.
"You're gonna need to buy the $30 vertical stand" – or you could just, I don't know.. Stand it upright without one like you've been able to do with everything since the PS2?
Sexy Man 😍
Slim ?
😅😅
let's just wait any longer for Pro version then
Ah, the Vector design is definitely paying for something?…
If you have a Ps5 digital why would you need to bear in mind when upgrading that the disk drive needs a internet connection to activate it. Wouldn’t you presume that you already have an internet hence reason for getting the digital version in the first place 💀💀💀
Why not just make one version of the console ………… this doesn’t make sense to me lol
The slim version looks little better than the regular one
Don't need the 30 dollar stand its perfectly fine without it ….
Will wait for the PRO version
So no die size shrink, thermals are thus the same if not worse, size is slightly smaller, lots of cost cutting with the design and details, cheaper looking vertical stand now an extra $30, same price. Pass.
this thing is so ugly my gosh….
I like this for upgradeablity to “the next disc type.” I’m curious if the disc port will be used for other drive types, maybe an 8tb optical. Cheers
wait for ps5 pro
The console is wide enough to stand vertically on it's own so you don't need the $35 stand.
No one on youtube mentions about laying down the ps5 on its side instead, they are always showing the ps5 standing up. I had discs always fall out and landing on the ground everytime the discs are being exposed with the bottom surface of the discs always ended up landing on the ground when I had the console standing up instead of the console laying down on its side. There is also a chance of someone accidentally knocking the ps5 over when it's being stood up and the ps5 hitting the ground when it's standing up as a opposed to laying the ps5 on its side. All the consoles before the ps5 were always laying on its side. It always made sense to keep the console laying down on its side because it was easier to keep the console inside of a tv stand since tv stands comes in all shapes and sizes. Standing up the console on a tv stand will not always work with every tv stand since the tv stand might be too small to fit the ps5 when having the ps5 standing up so it makes more sense to lay on its side since it mostly likely fit better with every tv stand. For instance, on my tv stand. I have my yamaha hs50m studio monitors on rockville speaker stands, full size desktop pc, sony 4k blu ray player, xbox series x laying on its side instead of standing up, my ps4 pro and my ps3 super slim all on the same tv stand. Not everyone home theater set up are the same. I have my home theater set up in a certain way so some of my consoles and my other other electronic devices fit on my tv stand so I can switch between each device depending on what I feel like using at the time. It also helps having a samsung one connect box to connect all my electronic devices to the hdmi ports on the samsung one connect box. I have a ton of game consoles from old to new but they won't all fit on the same tv stand so I ended up using some of my consoles that use hdmi and have them all fit on my tv stand and my tv is a 65 inch samsung curve qled 4k tv is next to all my other electronic devices on the same tv stand.

I’ll wait for the pro version of the system PS5 pro
I got the disc slim for the 1TB storage, it’s my first PS5 so it made sense to get the one with more storage. Plus it’s even cheaper since I got the Spider-Man 2 bungle, that’s a $70 game for free (the bundle is the same price as the slim by itself)
From everything I’ve seen the vertical stand seems optional.
Who designed this thing?
I have only 1 question which no one seems to have answer for… If I buy that digital edition without a disc drive, how do I put it horizontally? You can't use these feet without a disc drive and for some mysterious reason, there is not a single unboxing video on YouTube about digital edition.
Excellent I agree, with everything you said, definitely wait to see the original ps5 models to go down in price.
I got OG PS5 weeks before the slim version came out.
Taking PS5 to travel? Djeez… I better take the switch then! And let's be honest, the PS5 slim still looks bulky. And also it should be placed only horizontally because of the liquidmetal paste sliding "off" over time when you place it vertically.
