PS5 Console Design Revealed

As part of Sony's PS5 games showcase, it ended the show not with a big game, but with the PS5 console design reveal.

[mrsolidsteel20]

This sh%t looks nice ass f^*k!!!!

Overall, I'll give this presentation 8, they started out strong but some of those indie games killed it, especially bug crap game.

[_SilverHawk_]

Looks amazing and i like that it isn't a boring rectangular design . I'm buying ps5 day one

[darthv72]

It also looks like it is vertical only. And how about the PS5AD... who'd of thunk it.

@behind... I have, many times. And it looks like the digital could lie horizontal but the disc one is a bit more thicker where the disc drive is so maybe the base is a support for the top (when laid on its side)?

[BehindTheRows]

It's not vertical only. Watch the vid.

[bouzebbal]

the sexiest thing i've ever seen.. my TV table is an insult to put this thing on...

[Christopher]

@darthv72: It's horizontal, but it does rise up at those angles. I was wondering that as well initially.

[Hakuoro]

I really like that the plastic has that texture.it's super stylish.

[RaidenBlack]

There's a flat cradle/stand of some sort too. For resting the console vertically or horizontally.

[Kumakai]

Prob why you’re not a designer. Minimal is considered more sophisticated in the design world. The beauty is in simplicity... not in extra fins. You’d never see Apple do this

[rainslacker]

@Kumaki

Minimalism is a type of design philosophy. Not one that has to be followed for something to be designed correctly. XSX is being described as looking like a fridge. I'd say the PS5 looks like a sports car. Two different design styles, both of which are irrelevant to their function or purchasing decisions.

[ziggurcat]

Yup. I'm in on the Digital edition, myself.

[mandingo]

Looks like a concept design. Still nice but don’t let that distract you from the fact that the games shown were underwhelming.

[badz149]

@mandingo

"underwhelming"??

HAHAHAHA

[darthv72]

It wasnt in the above hardware reveal trailer itself but at the tail end of the entire presentation. For all of about 1 second but here it is on its side. https://youtu.be/RuLci-lSeC...

And now I have to get both designs. One for the game room (disc based) and one for the bedroom (digital)

[morganfell]

Darth again pretending to be concerned in order to take shots at Sony. Do you think no one can see what you are doing? You can lay it down.

[darthv72]

@unspoken, it can be laid down. It wasnt pictured anywhere in this trailer (above) but it was seen on its side in the closing scenes of the event.

here is the pic: https://www.flickr.com/phot...

@morgan, not taking shots. I was curious and found the info I was wondering about.

edit: I am only concerned with one thing regarding the PS5 and that isnt about the system but more specifically about GT7. I read a comment that had me concerned that GT7 was going to be more of the same in terms of GTS as opposed to being a proper numerical release. That i will admit has me concerned but it isnt like i wont buy it if it is. I just wont play the online portion.

[morganfell]

You are always doing it and your post history demonstrates it. You try to act concerned about something in order to point out a perceived shortcoming. No one is buying it anymore. Some of us never did.

[Army_of_Darkness]

Console design 10/10
Show 9.5/10
= want to buy immediately!
6 games I already want.

[umair_s51]

I dont like the design.

[bouzebbal]

Kumakai

I hope you aren't a designer yourself to say such nonsense.. Design is an art, and perception of it differs among individuals, and depends very much on the product and its purpose.
Making a fridge, a phone or a tv look like ps5 would def be silly. Make all cars look like a bus just for simplistic purpose is silly.
Apple in my eyes makes terrible designs, and their products are overpriced and actually terrible quality.. Earpods and pro model are worst thing ever, but they have a cool design.
A design is nothing if the purpose isn't fulfilled

[marinelife9]

Looks much better than a box with holes poked in the top

[morganfell]

There is a logical reason for the gorgeous PS5 design: https://imgur.com/a/xSEUG5n

[SpaceRanger]

I got a decent nostalgic feeling with that one! Almost like Spyro in its early days.

But overall the presentation hit it out of the park compared to other next gen presentations over the last 6 months.

[neutralgamer1992]

Finally not another generic box

What y'all think disk drive version $499 and $399 for all digital

[UltraNova]

It's a beautiful futuristic design. It's next-gen through and through. 499 and 399 sounds about right.

[badz149]

nope. the 4K BD drive is not gonna be a massive $100 extra. at most, there will be a $50 difference IMO

[Father__Merrin]

U can't have a digi show that's tailor made to 1 person

[bouzebbal]

indies are so crucial, no idea why you say they killed it..
show was a 10, so much variety and so many games!!!

[ApocalypseShadow]

I wasn't expecting the indie games. But I'm glad they did. Saw a lot of potential in many of them.

[badz149]

KENA looks awesome and Little Devil Inside looks pretty great too. can't wait to see more of those 2

[VenomCarnage89]

This thing looks great, they definitely outdid themselves compared to what I expected. Demon's Souls day 1

[gamer7804]

Looks really nice. I just hope its powerful and quiet, my ps4 sounds like a jet engine

[badz149]

you need to open it and clean it, sadly. my launch PS4 was loud too and I saw in the video that the heatsink might be blocked by large chunk of dust. I opened mine and it was true. huge chunk covering almost the whole heatsink. cleaned it throughly and my launch PS4 is quiet again. I strongly recommend it but if you're afraid you might mess it up, ask for professionals. the only delicate thing inside was the CPU and GPU contact IMO. just wipe them clean and apply a new layer of thermal paste, your PS4 will run like new.

[ApocalypseShadow]

I want to eat bugs.

The Game was actually funny to me. And that other game liked like it we made by the Journey team with that black hole.

[alb1899]

I like it a lot.

[Prubar]

Looks like a router

[badz149]

you mean PlashSpeed 5?

[Atticus_finch]

The sickest Router I've ever seen.

[CaptainHenry916]

I hope they have a black and grey one in the future

[outsider1624]

Dude, come on. Some respect for the Indies man.

[TheScotsman]

I was waiting for another ugly square box like someone else's console lol. But god darn it this is soooooo nice

[medman]

I'm pretty thrilled with what Sony showed....I didn't really expect that many first party titles, especially Spider Man coming holiday 2020. Add Gran Turismo, Ratchet and Clank and Horizon II Forbidden West and that's more than I expected. Throw in Resident Evil 8, Demon's Souls, Hitman III, etc etc....I like.

[CaptainHenry916]

the digital version $399

[LordoftheCritics]

Looks like experimental 90's speaker systems.

We will outgrow this design very vey fast.

[Anon1974]

Disagree. The indie games were very much a highlight for me. My 10 year old son watched with me and by far he was the most excited watching the trailer for Bugsnax. This will be a day one purchase in my house. Octodad was a huge hit with my kids. Little Devil Inside was the game that intrigued me the most. That and Resident Evil 8.

[purple101]

Just saw astrobot comes preloaded. Not sure if that means free or not.. But it sure sounds like it!

[Muzikguy]

Wow that system looks amazing. I was initially thinking if it's stand up only but reading through the comments I see it's not. That's good because I'm not sure where I'd put it if that were the case. Awesome design though I love it. I'm getting it as close to day 1 as possible. Not the digital edition either, but I can see why they'd want to release one and make something cheaper for those that want it

[lipton101]

What looks nice? There's no way you're talking about the console's aesthetic design... absolutely fugly... I'm literally hiding this thing when I get it and, even though I'll play it more, the Xbox Series X is taking front and center in my entertainment center next to my hifi receiver

[UltraNova]

Well what can I say...it's one sexy machine!

[UnSelf]

"Its a sex-box and her name is Sony."

two points if you know the reference

[UltraNova]

Family guy???

[LucidIllusion]

What a wonderful Christmas that was.

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

Back when family guy was actually funny.

[NeoGamer232]

Very nice design.

Interesting that they have a digital edition though. Kind of has me worried on price.

If it starts at $499 for disc and $399 for digital I think it will push a lot of people to digital.

[I_am_Batman]

A UHD Blu-ray drive costs Sony around $30. There won't be a $100 difference because of that alone.

[NeoGamer232]

@I_am_Batman
Yup, but you can also see that it is a different case for the digital edition. Slimmer.

And they didn't say anything about SSD drive sizes. It may come with a smaller SSD which could affect cost a lot.

[crazyCoconuts]

Remember that they make a lot more on digital sales... No middle man and no used game market. I bet they'll take a bigger loss on digital only with the promise that they'll make up for it in the long run. I can definitely see a $100 difference

[Sophisticated_Chap]

@ NeoGamer232

Do you really want an SSD smaller than 825GB?

[NeoGamer232]

@Sohphisticated_Chap
No. I am already worried about next gen requiring SSD and there being no really large SSDs that are affordable.

I am a "surfing gamer" that goes from game to game and will often play many different games. This gen has me worried that I won't be able to do that.

[purple101]

Or both. Disk one for the lounge, digital one for the bedroom ability to share games on either through ps acount.

I think that's very clever..

[DarXyde]

A digital version will likely have much higher storage capacity... so not necessarily

[I_am_Batman]

@crazyCoconuts: That's a great point. You might be right. I still have to go with the disc version simply because my download bandwidth is atrocious.

[I_am_Batman]

Agreed it looks really nice. I slightly prefer the symmetry of the digital only version, but I gotta go with the disc-based system.

[darthv72]

I'm gonna have to go and get both. Disc one for the game room, digital for the bedroom (like I do now with the X and SAD)

[crazyCoconuts]

Me too. I recoup a lot of cost by selling my used games on eBay

[time2die]

Well they better sort out there shite delivery service that is currently the Playstation 4 store and the atrocious download speeds.

Having a digital only version suggest they will ,but Shops such as Game in the Uk [Hate them anyway] and Gamestop are not going to be happy with Digital only Playstation 5 as this puts another nail in the game retails coffin if there isn't enough already.

[kneon]

@time2die

Maybe you should sort out your atrocious ISP, nothing ever takes me more than 5 minutes to download from the PS store.

[crazyCoconuts]

yea no problems with the store here either

[Atticus_finch]

Indeed. I am in love.

[Jin_Sakai]

Holy crap! This is different. Love the futuristic design!

[mcstorm]

It dose look different and I like the design but when I saw it I thought of my old sky box https://www.sky4caravans.co...

[Relientk77]

Sleek and futuristic, I love it!

[AspiringProGenji]

Media: MS has rewritten the rules of console design

Sony: NO!

[rdgneoz3]

MS: Let's go with a fridge....

Sony: Let's look to the future.

[umair_s51]

And make a router.

[Atticus_finch]

Umair what's the matter, you mad bro?

[Bronxs15]

I like ps5 look more than series x for sure. But not to take away from series x design. They did change the rules. It’s impressive from a engineering point the power and cooling they manage to fit. What is it a 52 compute unit gpu vs 36 compute units in ps5?

Ah well I like ps5 design better but was let down by the games. Didn’t really see anything that can only be done in ps5 due to its ssd. Making me believe it was hype. Ratchet and horizon 2 were my highlights. But sure ms will have some triple a games to compete as well a lot of those games like resident evil 8 for example will look and run better on series x.

I’m not as 100% set on ps5 as I was heading into this. I was expecting a better show case. Doors open for series x now. Interested to see what their big reveal willl be like. Sony didn’t knock it out the park as I was expecting. Maybe series x showcase will.

[SamTheGamer]

LOL

[Fantangoooo]

I am more of an xbox guy, but i will say that ps5 looks mightly sexy as hell. in terms of the games Kena was great as i really love the lighting, Horizon 2 looks fantastic, Demon souls omg what can i say. I know for sure in terms of pure graphical fidelity it wont beat XSX but the speed in which rachet went from world to world was amazing and shows the limit to what of games would be possible is amazing so to me great showcase for ps5 but i can tell you now. THAT BOX ISNT GOING TO BE CHEAP.
I am now very keen to see what XSX can delivery and they better do as now we have a stick to measure them by.
Future looks great, well done Sony.

[kayoss]

Xbox series x did not change the rule, it’s a damn PC tower design.

[Dissidia]

I agree the show didn't blow me away. But I do want to play the new R&C and that Kena game looks graphically amazing.

All in all the console looks good.

But I'm glad there's still the Xbox First Party show to look forward too in July.

[purple101]

Horizon was gameplay. Not pre rendered you know xbox won't or dorsny have anything as artistic and spectacular as that

[Bronxs15]

Forgot to mention kena. It looked good gave me a ori vibe. It may be on series x tho right? Also Sony took a page out Xbox book with the whole digital console.

Also Sonys credit diversity if game types was on display.

[mockzer0]

Ratchet and clank definitely showed how it can only be done using a SSD. How they were transporting in and out of worlds on the fly, blew my mind

[rainslacker]

When I first saw the DS5 I was reminded of the new white and black Corvette Stingray, which I had just seen driving around town a few days prior. Then the console kind of solidified that. Although, there are other sports cars which use those inverted lines and fin styles in their design. Just the contrast of white and black set it apart.

That said, I'd probably still prefer an all black console for my media center. Just goes better with my aesthetics. I'll make it work either way though.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

I'm sure there'll be a market for vinyl wraps day 1 - you'll be alight.

[SpaceRanger]

Absolutely beautiful of a console! Might I even say... sexy 😏

[Atticus_finch]

❤️❤️❤️

[Zodiac]

It’s a wireless router...

[tontontam0]

plash speed 5.

[tontontam0]

lol I suggest that you guys watch the plash speed cartoon on youtube.

I'm not mocking the ps5 or anything.

[SpaceRanger]

You must have a unique WiFi router 🤔

[Sitdown]

Or either you having shopped for a router in a while.

[AzubuFrost]

My thoughts exactly lol.

[UltraNova]

At least a router is more suitable in a living room than a mini-fridge, right?

[CaptainHenry916]

A mini fridge lol

[Zodiac]

I would actually want a mini-fridge in my room lol. Would probably be some weight gain though :/

[WeAreLegion]

It's funny because there's a wireless router that looks exactly like the Series X. You could easily confused it for a miniature version.

[Zodiac]

I mean, which one looks more like something you’d get from Netgear in the early 2000’s, hough?

[Silly gameAr]

I expected people to be more creative than a wireless router. That's not even an insult.

A mini-fridge on the other hand...

[RazzerRedux]

Uh....electronic devices often look like each other so....

[Kribwalker]

it’s a awful gaudy design. twitters been having a field day with it. People posting pictures of their routers with pieces of paper beside it saying they got a ps5 early lol. it’s quite a bit taller than the SX too if you compare the disc drives

[RebelWAC]

Very happy with the design!

[The-Matrix-has-you]

It’s a thing of beauty! Very excited!

[Fishy Fingers]

I'm batman...

[I_am_Batman]

No!

[Fishy Fingers]

PS5 imposter.

[Rebel_Scum]

You must be The Penguin if you've got fishy fingers

[GaboonViper]

I have 2 questions......
1 - Where are the pre-orders???
2 - How am i gonna afford all this greatness.

[akurtz]

Im guessing the latest is august, where theyll announce the price and release in the state of play

[RosweeSon]

Probably around July sometime around Microsoft’s event.

[rdgneoz3]

2) Save up now.

1) Checked a few places, no pre-orders up yet. Probably a later date in July or August (so they don't get overwhelmed by preorders and have covid hamper mass production), with it releasing by November.

[Majin-vegeta]

1.Most likely in August
2.Desperate times call for desperate measures...get on your knees and draw a pentagram and sell your soul😂..like some of us

[GaboonViper]

I will happily sell my soul, Sony knocked it out the ballpark, absolutely incredible show.

[THC CELL]

Getting both editions

[UltraNova]

Getting the disc edition, headphones an extra controller, and a charging station day one. My bank account will cry!

[SamTheGamer]

Mine already started crying.

[GaboonViper]

Yes talking about banks, i may have to "borrow" some cash from my local one, the only way i can afford all this, and i want it all.

[JCOLE13195]

Why? Just curious what the purpose of that would be.

[badz149]

why not? more power to him. I'm kinda jealous he will be able to afford 2. I will be happy with just 1 but knowing my country, I will be crying for the first few months after release as it will not be available here except for the marked up imported ones by the independent VG stores.

I remember I was only able to buy my PS4 months after it launched in the US and hopefully I won't have to wait too long for PS5. I also remember paying like $500 equivalent at the time for imported PS Vita with 4GB and Uncharted GA bundle when it launched too. that was painful eventhough the store did also give MVC3 for free!

GT7, R&C, Horizon2 and many of today's reveal's games will be hard to pass for me. if they all come at launch, I think I might cave in to the mark up! damn...I just bought a 65" 4KTV too just earlier this month. hopefully the mark up will not be THAt much. god help us please!

[Mister_Wolf]

Meet the PlayStation Router.

[X-Alchemist]

Was a good show but not a huge fan of the design, looks like a router or a paper folder. Maybe it'll grow on me.

[-Foxtrot]

Awesome

1) Hope it comes in Black

2) Hope you can turn the thing on its side.

[RaidenBlack]

@ 2) Yes they showed the system on its side too. You get a flat cradle/stand of some sort too.

[-Foxtrot]

Phew

Don't need to move my set up around

[The Wood]

Please please please

I couldn't see any padding to rest it on its side but I did see an image of it horizontally

[DragonWarrior19]

1) It won't, not for at least a year/special game editions come out
2) Completely agree, especially for the regular disc model.

[Patricko]

Most beautiful consol ever!

[Silly gameAr]

It looks like a futuristic PS2, and it looks compact. I'm really digging it.

[drpepperdude]

You must of never seen a PS2 if you think that looks anything like it, even the new Xbox looks closer to the PS2 than that.

[UnSelf]

He said futuristic. Like X compared to Megaman

[Kribwalker]

it appears to be quite big
https://twitter.com/bdsams/...

[ApocalypseShadow]

Looks like "Alien Tech."

If that thing talks, that's going to be crazy. It definitely doesn't look like a rectangle, trapezoid or square. Nothing like a box.

[Father__Merrin]

Looks very nice and bold. Did anyone see swapping into another level in ratchet with no let up in action

[ApocalypseShadow]

Shear speed. Love it.

[saladthieves]

That was very impressive how the levels were shifting in an instant like that. And it didn't seem like small sections either, but rather like huge levels swapping in and out.

[PaleMoonDeath]

Curvy, I like it!

[Critic4l_Strik3]

This will PERFECTLY match my RoseWill Thor v2 White PC case :D!!

[chiefJohn117]

Lol it looks like my router no lie but it i still find it dope. Why are Sony and MS pushing digital only consoles and don't even be pricing them cheaper?

[SamTheGamer]

Wait for the price Chief.

[RazzerRedux]

what price?

[Software_Lover]

Looks nice, but those who said that their engineers will keep it traditional and not go vertical were wrong.

It could be my eyes and the curves but it looks taller than the XSX

[SpaceRanger]

It also can be layed flat. This is the same way they marketed the PS4. It looks so small and slim for a first iteration of a console.

[CaptainCook]

You need to use a stand for it to Lay flat

[DragonWarrior19]

Vertical is for flashy marketing, I'm sure we can put it on it's side.

[Whitey2k]

I take it the remote and the headphones are the accessories. If it comes with the ps5 thats pretty damn cool

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Accessories

[BillyG0AT]

PS 5AD Edition. Kinda funny really.
Does look cool though

[badz149]

where did you get that "AD" acronym? MS? the name is right there, PS5 Digital Edition. "DE"

[BillyG0AT]

oh cheer up ffs, we have worse things to worry about.

LIKE THE PRICE XD

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Well Sony did already go all digital with Vita GO - dipping their toes in again. I think the disc based system will sell substantially more though.

[BillyG0AT]

I just hope they do a digital edition with a higher SSD capacity, that would definitely be a day one purchase for me.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

It would have to be double the capacity - that would push the price too high. I think they'll be the same for both consoles.

[PyroMessiah86]

Looks cheap to me and a bit tacky, actually looks like a wireless router. Still say the controller looks like a tanktop too. It's not their best design.

[Zodiac]

Agreed. I would go further, though and say it’s actually kind of ugly

[RazzerRedux]

Meh....some said the same thing about XSX. Opinions.

[SpaceRanger]

What would have been a better design? Curious.

[slayernz]

just guessing but their reply will likely be a big black rectangular box?

[waverider]

Dude, they are in pain. It Was too much. gameplay event with gameplay and then a console that looks like a console and not a pc box double the size of the x

[badz149]

rectangular is a timeless design! have you seen other fridge with non-rectangular design? no, right? because fridge is best designed rectangular! wait...we are talking about fridge, right?

[Whitey2k]

Well least it looks better then microsofts tacky bazooka

[galmi]

no it doesnt

[RazzerRedux]

They both look fine

[drpepperdude]

I've loved all of Sony's designs from the PS1 to PS4 and PSP but this is the first one that I think looks terrible. Definitely turned me off from buying it at launch though I reluctantly will have to eventually for the exclusives.

[Zodiac]

That’s the thing, right? Nobody has to justify the purchase of a console based on its design. I can call it ugly and still play it with no less enjoyment.

[victorMaje]

Didn’t I say we weren’t prepared?
Well now we are.
Hello you, com’ere!

[Deathdeliverer]

Looks amazing. All digital for me.

[Ristul]

One of the good things from the show, very nice design.

[Hakuoro]

Sony going last was the best decision they made. Microsoft made a Van and Sony made a race car.

[galmi]

what i see is a honda accord and a mercedes

[Hakuoro]

Yes SX SSD with it's PCIe3 from 2010 is like an old beat up accord and PS5 with it's brand new "best in class" PCIe4 SSD is like a Mercedes race car.

I like how you think.

[XxGamer440xx]

Remember guys that's stream was only in 1080p the games will be 4k

[boing1]

All trailers are now available on their channel and in 4k. They look amazing on 4k TV.

[JCOLE13195]

That thing is slick. Love the design.

[V3geta]

what an amazing piece of tech. I know it'd look good, but my god has it surpassed my expectations.

[Master of Unlocking]

It definitely has taken a page out of the PSVR helmet's design, that's for sure, which does not go to displease me.

[Looper]

Xbox = PC tower
PS5 = PC tower but curvy

[badz149]

yeah, sure, bud.

[crazyCoconuts]

Ape = Mammal
Human = Mammal but taller

[v_eno_m]

I'm so thankful it doesn't look like the f'n dev kits

[drpepperdude]

It looks worse than the dev kit lol.

[crazyCoconuts]

Lol is right

[crazyCoconuts]

Yea I expected it too. I wasn't a fan of the devkit look

[galmi]

looks worst lol

[Atticus_finch]

She'd those tears mate, it will be okay.

[Stanjara]

Holy shit, it's fantastic!

[Mister_Wolf]

Next gen is: Router Vs Fridge.

[rainslacker]

which one can play skyrim?

[Mister_Wolf]

GTA5 is the new Skyrim now.

[LucidIllusion]

Absolutely divine. Truly a gorgeous machine.

[Kumakai]

Hmmm cool but a little gratuitous imo. Also kinda looks like a Netgear router. I dunno. I’m on the fence. A part of me says bold and a part of me says too much. Like fins on an old Cadillac.

[Atticus_finch]

Those routers look nice though. Stop being a hater bro. You're see through.

[Looper]

You know it's going to be expensive if they are coming out of the gate with a digital only version.

Also, Microsoft not crazy after all for that digital only console huh?

[tontontam0]

I'm waiting for the price before I diss the digital version,

xbox digital version was ridiculous because of the price.

[Hakuoro]

The drive is a $10-15 part.

Now I am not happy to see Sony copy Microsoft's bad habits again, but I don't see how you get a price out of them offering a digital only console.

[tontontam0]

Having a digital only console also means locking you to digital sales and no more preowned games.

[badz149]

wait, have MS announced an AD version of the SX? when?

[Looper]

Xbox One S All Digital

[RazzerRedux]

Hilarious....cuz the rumored "lockhart" xbox that MS has been so silent on while pretending to be so "transparent" has no affect on XSX price?

And MS was crazy to come out with a digital only console and only chop $50 off the price. That was some stupid shit Phil tried to pull.

[deadfrag]

Did say it was going to BE the size of the Original PS3! Know just make it total black and i Will pick One.

[Hakuoro]

Lot's of people said that after they showed the controller. And I don't think it's nearly as big as the original PS3. And even if it is, my original PS3 is one of the best consoles I own.

[Legendary-Status]

This design is wavy asf Sony has to do live demonstration of the console i still feel sony holding tons back ..they still have yet to reveal the next-gen feat of the touch-pad plus i seen astrobot come out the middle of the touchpad in the presentation lil low-key tidbit..

[Gameplayer1]

Thats one hell of a sexy machine!!! I think the design is AMAZING!!!

[SamTheGamer]

My body can't take this.. I'm literally vibrating..

Looks sooo sexy.

[Ryuk_2007]

Looks like an alienware pc lol

[Master of Unlocking]

By all means, show me an alienware pc that looks like the PS5. Go on...

[monkey602]

I like the look of it. It stands out

[Kabaneri]

Gonna go with the digital version for three reasons:
- It looks better without the hump
- I buy everything digital
- It will probably be somewhat cheaper.

[Jls1]

Honestly it does look like a router lol but I don't care not buying it for looks horizon ratchet and gt7 = win

[ghostrider32]

Sweet Christmas

[IamFrasierCrane]

My word... that’s remarkable. The future of gaming is upon us.

[waverider]

Damn the console is so sexy. Amazing design. Top or down. Now thats the question!

[Lexreborn2]

Design looks good, I felt like the presentation had games for every type. Not just one style I enjoyed it, my list goes as follow that are on my radar:

Miles morales
Ratchet and clank
Demon souls
Project Anthia
Ghost wire Tokyo
Horizon 2

[timotim]

Console looks very sleek. I like it.

[ElementX]

It looks nice, I don't like the fins. There seems to be a lot of places for dust to accumulate. I assume it comes with a curved cradle to lay it sideways. It does look futuristic... Why do all of our concepts of future design seem to incorporate curves and fins? A lot of people asked why MS released an all digital console... I guess we know that there's a demand due to higher numbers of digital purchases

[Hakuoro]

Dust, are you kidding the top of the Xbox is a big open square...

[SpaceRanger]

Some have said that there could be heating issues down the line in a few years with people’s XSX collecting dust through the top vent.

[ElementX]

There appears to be a gap between the black and white plates on the sides. I will put my Xbox on it's side but I can see that being a potential problem. If air is blowing out there then it might keep it cleaner.

[ElementX]

My PC has fans on the top with a similar square pattern of holes in the case, I've never had a problem. That vent is blowing out, also.

[Hakuoro]

It's not blowing anything when it's turned off.

You brought up dust to downplay and it's pretty clear which one of the two is going to have a bigger dust problem and it's the SX so now you're trying to back peddle.

[ElementX]

Didn't people talk about dust with series x? I didn't even mention Xbox until you brought it up! I'll be playing both consoles while you can argue and discuss which is better. I may not stick up for Sony, but I don't hate them. You've been here about 46 days? Go back to my comments years ago, I have talked about owning Sony consoles for years. Go ahead, look through 13+ years of comments. I've mentioned owning PS4 and PS3 dozens of times. I probably even mentioned my Vita. I challenge you to find one time I actually said Sony sucks or anything like that. I certainly don't remember. If you can, then I'll send you a PSN gift card, but wait, you blocked me. Hakuoro only and me saying PS3 graphics or frame rates were worse than 360 doesn't count. Downplaying a game doesn't count. I have to make a direct statement saying anything like Sony is sh!t. I'll put my money where my mouth is. If I did, you get a gift card. No questions asked other than PSN name. I could be wrong but I don't think you'll find anything

[hanko14]

looks very concept. reminds me of alienware hardware

[Majin-vegeta]

Gonna get both versions :)

[waverider]

Damn. God for You!

[RaidenBlack]

"Where's all the money in your account?"
"All gone"
"Why? What'd you buy?"
"An alien taco and a black box"

[Tzuno]

Horrible design, dust deposit.

[waverider]

At least it got design

[PyroMessiah86]

If you're into routers

[glopez]

Just saw the video 3 times. I dont see the console laying horizontal. I dont think it will be able to..... Well maybe the all digital one

[kayoss]

I want to have passionate sec with it while The Xbox series X watches.

[Majin-vegeta]

https://m.imgur.com/gallery...

[quenomamen]

Not feeling the design, Looks like an alien toaster. Also ill be painting mine black ASAP

[Sonyslave3]

It remind me of Xbox 360 lol still nice looking

[SpaceRanger]

Lmao! Some of you all are outside punching the air after that presentation.

[Benficaman]

Jesus, its the most beautiful console ever made. I cant believe.

[galmi]

no its not, actually one of the ugliest

[waverider]

Damn look at salt of so many. Its Hard to swallow. Next gen design and not something You can go at any Shop and get.

[SierraGuy]

Believe the render does not do the actual console justice.

It's even nicer unboxed.

I want the fat one 🙆

[hennessey86]

Do nobody else is was thinking "router"

[Elda]

One sexy ass beast!! I can't wait to pre-order.

[silenthillstrangler]

I'm not digging the design really, looks a bit like a binder or a router, anyway I'm not too fussed on the look but the performance and although most of the games shown were crap horizon looked absolutely phenomenal as will all the first party games.

[Agent75]

Looks like a BT hub. Hmmmm, it’s a okish. I bet those shoulder buttons soon break like all PS controllers.

[The_Sage]

I have never had a shoulder button break. What the hell do you do to your controllers. You know your not supposed to stand on them, right?

[BrainSyphoned]

My first thought is it looks like a Destiny 2 Warlock helm.

(Just has a f2p binge in Destiny 2 so it is on the mind).

[Str8Chaos74]

Looks Awesome, usually not a fan of white, but it works here. Advertisement was cool as well.

[FanboySpotter]

It only had me wondering how it'll take on heat

[zandar]

Awesome looking!!!

[saladthieves]

Absolutely loving the design. Gorgeous!

[TheRacingX]

I got to give SONY this....their hardware design team knows Sexy!

[Mr_Luke]

I wasn't expecting that look. I knew it was going to be shown as a surprise but i was waiting for something more "normal". Now, when i read "next-gen console", the PS5 and its look comes to my mind. That's a "modern/future" design! And the best part is how it looks perfect with all the peripherals, even the camera looks very simple but at the same time futuristic :O

[Animal Mutha 76]

Haha. Most comments on Eurogamer: it looks like a router or it's pregnant. Comments on N4G: I love it and its sexy.
Such a Sony site. Personally I think the disc version looks odd and the whole unit looks quite large but it probably needs to be. And people said MS were bold.

[yomfweeee]

Who said MS bold? Ms got laughed at for their minifridge.

[WillyC009]

Is this sarcasm? Design is great imo. Much much bettter then Xbox offering. That is abysmal

[Silly gameAr]

Well, you can always just stay on Eurogamer where you feel safe, you know.

[aconnellan]

“Such a Sony site”

Gotta agree but for different reasons. Remember all the rumours that MS would launch a disc-less version of their next console? And apparently that was a sign of DRM and controlling the digital future and that MS are evil because of it?

Apparently that’s okay now

[WillyC009]

Were you here in the 360 era? I’m guessing by this statement, probably not.

[Agent75]

No pricing? Dodgy...

[XxExacutionerxX]

Night and day difference between which console looks the best.
I'll give it to sony, that is an amazing console design

[XxINFERNUSxX]

Mini ITX Case.

[Kiwi66]

What do people think about the discless version

[Futureshark]

It certainly looks next gen, very cool design!

[LuckyDuck12]

I was kinda expecting a design like that after the controller reveal and I friggin love it!

[TheEroica]

Digital edition or bust for me!

[ironmonkey]

Holy shit that is sexy as heck. Yep it's a buy for sure

[autobotdan]

Why are they making a Playstation 5? I want a Playstation 2 Remake. PLAYSTATION 2 REMASTERED

[goldwyncq]

Looks great!

[galmi]

Dont like the design personally, expected a slicker look

[WillyC009]

Absolutely love the design of this. Has some style to it. Much better look then the new Xbox. That thing is terrible. Day one optical drive purchase for me. I am so excited to get my hands on this!

[bamillington]

Rubbish. was I watching the same thing coz that was crap

[jznrpg]

I love it . They made a sleek machine . I could care less about the digital only but options for others Is good I’m sure its cheaper than disc version

[medman]

Sexy console, sexy games.....I was surprised we got a reveal of a digital only version, but not a version with more ssd capacity. All these games and limited drive space is going to be a problem for me sooner rather than later. Hope the 3rd party drive solutions are ready close to launch.

[Thundercat77]

Looks very futuristic and sexy. I like design.

[throne]

we expected sony to deliver and deliver they did like always

[Vigant]

i can already tell that the limited edition custom versions of this console are going to be 🔥

[Sol4ris]

Striking design, but it also looks like a cheap Chinese knock-off. Let’s hope the thermals are sound, and is not going to compete with the jet engine noise levels the PS4pro makes.

[waverider]

Cheap knock-off. Really. Im Reading comments of people that praise a black box without any Kind of design, but this is cheap.... This from a company that lost billions with millions of consoles poorly build....

[Sol4ris]

@waverider
“people that praise a black box without any Kind of design, “

Yes, sometimes in design less is more.

[sushimama]

Put the XSX on it's side. It look like garbage when you do that. Looks cheapp as hell too. But stand it up and it looks better. PS5 looks great either way you want to go imo.

[Sol4ris]

@sushimama

"Put the XSX on it's side. It look like garbage when you do that."

I don't see how you can pretend to think XSX looks garbage, then go and say the PS5 looks great regardless of how is positioned.
But I respect your opinion, it's not biased at all. s

[sushimama]

No man. I said when the XSX is on it's "side" it looks garbage. When it's stands up it looks pretty good.

[Spurg]

It looks like it was designed around the digital version rather than the one with the disk.
The placement of the disk tray looks like an addon on the ps5

[SierraGuy]

That's fine....I still love to play my Blu Ray discs.

[sushimama]

No. It just looks like that one definitely should be put on it's side imo.

[ger2396]

This presentation was more about the console than the games. And the PS5 looks amazing.

[nismo370]

Beauty.

[giovonni]

It looks like a router from xfinity cable

[Gamerking82]

Must admit that does look nice . I personally would of liked an all black version too. But black white and blue still looks great . I just can’t believe they showed the console and it’s still on track for winter 2020 but no price yet .

[UltimateRacer]

It’s so nice, wasn’t expecting that design to be honest.

[Master of Unlocking]

It looks beautiful and really XXIth century-ish. That combination of a glossy pristine white shell covering the black innards of an admittedly complex system, outlined by a thin stripe of blue light... I've gotta say I didn't expect to see that design until we had flying saucers instead of cars or smthg... like in 2099...

[WillyC009]

On the topic of the consoles, I’m not so sure the all digital will be cheaper. I’m suspecting a larger SSD in there since there’s no optical drive. But I guess we will find out soon enough in the weeks ahead.

[Godmars290]

Two versions?! A disc-less model?!

MOTHERF**KER!!!

[Gamerking82]

Well with the announcement of gta online coming to ps5 we can all now agree it’s going to be a hell of a few years now before a gta6 . In fact rockstar may just scrap the single player and add new cities into online going forward if you ask me. It is the easiest and most profitable way for them anywhere .

[sushimama]

You don't know that. Teams as big as Rockstar can work on multiple projects for years and years at the same time.

[headshotfrosty]

Not bad but I'm not gleeming over it at all.. .It's Different. A bit avant-garde but cool. PS5 will dominate next gen again however. I think MS is done as far as competing on console sales. Should've went harder on reveal follow-ups. Sony has too much fanfare at this point.

[Melankolis]

Astrostation

[headshotfrosty]

Side note...It reminds me of an alienware product. Decent design and futuristic but feels more like a game console vs a machine that would look AND play great in my living room at my age. Keeps me in kid land definitely but need some balance. No doubt it is going to sell like v-waffles over XBSX. Still looking forward to the XBSX but good job SONY. Have fun!!!

[Zombieburger638]

I loved Xbox 360 but decided to skip this Gen and go pc. PC will still be my main platform but I'm definitely getting a ps5. That was an amazing showing of games!

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

I love how symmetrical the all digital one looks, but I'm old school and still prefer my games physical I'm gonna have to get the disk based one

[Petebloodyonion]

Really like the look remind me of the PS2 but a futuristic look.
Really great design.

[akaFullMetal]

Wow, definitely a different look. Very futuristic looking, I like it. I think I need to really have a long look at it but at least we will be able to say this will be a very memorable console design.

[ocelot07]

When Microsoft announced the XB1 All Digital console. I think I mentioned plenty of times that Sony or MS was going to release a digital next gen console alongside one with a disc drive. Surprise MS has not announced one. Maybe that's what that lockheart one is.

[DFresh]

I’m hoping Sony can meet the demand.
I really want a PS5.
:/

[no_more_heroes]

That is one sexy machine!

[Gaming4Life1981]

I like the console design and I get the feeling the system will come on black & red and black & blue. I want to see a picture gallery of the system.

[RangerWalk267]

I hope there is a black version. My entire entertainment center is black. Guess I could put a sticker on it.

[Master of Unlocking]

On the following pic:
Left: the PS4, or Xbox One or Series X or w/e (just about any console actually)
Right: the PS5
:D

[glenn1979]

its a router, a sexy router that i will buy and that fridge from MS

[Wulfer]

Might need a forklift to lift it into the house.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Are you guys seeing a different console altogether somewhere else?

Ok, grandpa rant mode on, I know, but I truly hated this design... I don't like the whole flashy design for electronics fad in general, when you put "gaming" on the box it tends to get even worse, with routers and headsets being particularly atrocious with this kind of stupid look... Well, I think Sony too just went full retard on this one with all the lights and curves and deeps crevices up top...

Not exactly surprised though. I never loved the slanted, partially shiny partially matte PS4 design, but at least it was an upgrade from George Foreman's PS3. Frankly, I never loved the design of any console, they are all kinda tacky... I wish PS4 was setting a trend in design going more conventional from PS3, but never fully expected it, as I said gaming themed electronics in general usually have some obnoxious lit up panel, honeycomb mesh, needlessly curved surface or other supposedly evocative of "high tech" design in place for no reason whatsoever (come on, the average gamer is now 35 years old, it's embarrassing they think we didn't age out shiny and colorful plastic toys).

So yeah, I fully expect gaming consoles in general to look bad as an industry standard (just like sports cars, which ironically many of you are comparing it to, I guess some big boy toys require somewhat of a toddler's visual taste), no big deal there... But they didn't have to rub dirt on the wound by making it white! Like, that's ok for an special edition but now EVERYTHING for the console will be mainly found in white. Gamepads, headphones, every accessory will be mainly sold in white, good luck finding it in black or not paying more for it.

I'll still get the PS5 (ugliness never stopped me, I once had a gamecube for crying out loud), probably long before they have a chance to redesign it, if not by day one (which would be ideal, but with no price reveal, it remains to be seem), maybe the all digital version doesn't look so bad in person (I don't feel ready to give up physical media just yet even though I had not used a disc in my PS4 in years, but if for nothing else, at least it's a symmetrical console) and hopefully they at least have a black one by release... Still, I'm surprised by how many seem to like this design here, I do think your Sony caps are on too tight guys, because to me, by comparison, that fugly boxy fridge now looks like a class act. Seriously, a lot of those close ups look like they came from some low budget sci-fi spaceship show. Or if we turned Wall-E's Eve inside out... That thing is uglier than hitting on your ma! Ok, got it out of my system, it's not that bad, just isn't any good.

On a side note, the whole tower thing both Sony and MS are digging at is hopefully just marketing trying to pose them tall and proud, while the consoles actually can be used sideways too. If not, this is just stupid. We went three gens where you could conform your console to your entertainment furniture set up, no reason they remove the option now.

[Master of Unlocking]

"toddler's visual taste", lol
You can never please everyone when it comes to looks, architecture, design. I get it how you or other people would like something blander, with minimalistic design, well you still have the Xbox Series X you can turn to then. I'm not against bold futuristic design as far as I'm concerned, esp. not something that evokes the cute little EVE from Wall-E. Et voila, everyone's happy.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Again, please check hat sizing and drop the "just get the Xbox then" shtick. I'm not going to choose a gaming console based on looks, I said it before, they are all ugly as baby rats (if this was a such a problem I'd probably had took up some other hobby 25 years ago, I guess now is too late to learn how to crochet, golf or other old people gimmick).

I'm simply not going to pretend this thing is pretty because I swing to Sony's side, it's typical obnoxious "gaming wrote in the box" design coupled with a poor choice in color and they even managed to make the better version badly asymmetrical for no apparent reason but to take a shit on it... Also, looking at the disc slot for proportions, I don't think many of you realize but this thing seems to be huge, it will not just hide in a corner of your TV setup, it will stand out whether you like it or not, I happen "to not", so here I am.

Also I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade with the toddler comment. Toddler's, you see, are the ones who are supposed to be easily swayed by shiny colorful plastic toys (the same instinct at playfulness and nostalgia car companies try to evoke in middle aged man in crisis by painting a Lamborghini in hi-viz orange), hence the joke... These companies just seem to keep forgetting that most gamers are now adults, not "young adults", but rather "staring down at 40's" adults. People aged to raise children, seek a job promotion, getting a mortgage and consider suicide are generally old enough to own the living room they play in, you'd thing they want something to match, not to theme it like a geek dorm in college campus or your occupied ma's basement.

Yet this was bound to happen, because apparently someone in marketing keep asking no-longer-really-teenagers who spend way too much time on youtube what gamers really like and they all seem to answer stormtroopers by the end of every marvel movie (get it? the blue light beam! Yeah, I think I'm so clever...)... It's ok, believe it or not, I'm almost grateful despite my inicial reaction. Just look at the devkits and mockups of game consoles... This thing could be much, much worse. Doesn't make it good though and I still can't get over the color choice. First world problems, I know...

[ikarodemon]

The first PS with good design before PS1 kkkk

[MrBabak]

Am I the only one that finds it super ugly? I can tolerate the digital only version but the asymmetrical disc drive bulge kills me...

[Xavi4K]

it look so sexy and modern too I love it

[oasdada]

Holy sheeet i love it!

[TheGamez100]

Damn that looks slick. Wonder if you can lay it on its side though.

[TechnoGoat]

I mean.. it's not as nice as a boring rectangle... but it's ok...

[Good-Smurf]

The second I saw the console I just can't help but laugh like a drunker on the bed it was so weirdly sexy I love it.
This is the Sony design I known and loved when they go all out in design you know that this is their flagship product.

[AK91]

That looks a lot more sexier than I thought it would. Props to Sony for another awesome console design.

[Games1st]

Diskless looks the best. Small enough to fit with this gen and display cabinents.

[JayRyu]

I'm not crazy about this design. Maybe in black might be better for me, but either way I'm definitely get it along with my Series X day one.

So Sony made an all digital box like MS huh!? Could it be that Sony is thinking about going all digital and using PS plus and PS Now services going forward!?

Just a thought...cough...cough...way of the future...cough

[Pika-pie]

Started and ended the presentation strong with a lot of interesting and not so interesting indie titles in between. Overall I’m really happy with what they showed. I wish they showed the UI though

[StormSnooper]

Sexy was the word I was looking for. Reminded me of the eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings a little lol. But very pleasantly surprised with the design. Like it a lot.

[Charal]

I have estimated the height and width based on the BR tray dimension.
Here is what I got if my calculations are correct:

With stand:
Heigth: 41.2cm
Width: 15.7cm

Without stand:
Heigth: 39.8cm
Width: 10.7cm

This thing is huge, much bigger that PS4 pro, and the biggest PS console ever released.
It is also with stand as large as SX, and much higher (30cm SX vs 41cm here)

It drives me to 2 conclusions:
- Unfortunately that does not fit with my TV stand dimension console area, and I bet it will be a pain to place in a lot of people living room.
- I predict it will be more expensive that PS4 pro at launch, we will have to pay for this extra material.

Waiting for official numbers now.

Edit: found a comparison pic mock-up here backing up my estimation:
https://twitter.com/EvilBor...

[IRetrouk]

Day 1, disc version, if there was any doubt cerny knows what hes doing it can now be squashed, the console looks good and the games look great, hype!.

[ybadr]

Day 1.

[m2stech]

I don't like it, doesnt look professional to go sit along the TV in the living room. PS4PRO is their best design yet in my opinion.

[anubusgold]

It looks like a Decepticon i dont trust it lol.

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

Just take my goddamn money Sony!!!!

[Auron]

Who designed this netgear? This honestly looks like a router. Sorry guys not a fan of the design.

[Gunstar75]

It is massively over-engineered and on the border of looking tacky. The thing is bloody huge as well. I guess taste is subjective
