PS5 is bigger so it will stay cooler, PlayStation VP confirms

It looks like PS5 is going to be a big console, and the main reason it needs all that space is heat.

[CaptainHenry916]

That's great. I'm Looking forward to it.

[crazyCoconuts]

"I understand it's not for everyone, but no good art is," Maclaurin said.
Thought that was a good quote. If you don't like it, there's a featureless rectangle with your name on it.

[Sitdown]

PTSD from Microsoft?

[King_Noctis]

Featureless? You know something we don’t know yet?

[Zeref]

You can not like the look and still get a PS5 and you can dislike the look of the Series X and still get it.
The looks of a console are not that important lol, it's all about the power and games.

I personally like the minimalistic look of the Series X because I personally think consoles should blend in with your setup.
But PS5 just looks distracting.

[DJStotty]

Or if you can not afford it when the price is announced, get a second job.

[anubusgold]

You mean the Micro ATX tower pc that you can find everywhere .

[Kados]

and yet that "featureless rectangle" based on thermodynamics, will likely run both cooler and quieter than the PS5. The SX was designed that way primarily because it is highly efficient for cooling.

[zeuanimals]

@Kados:

The PS5 was designed that way for that reason too. They made such a huge emphasis on their cooling system, it would be a PR nightmare if the PS5 is still loud and running hot. They're better off just not mentioning it rather than making it a focal point of the console if that were the case. So maybe it's not the case?

[UltraNova]

I like the straight to the business look of the Xbox SX, its safe and it works. But, it also shows a lack of imagination. The PS5 looks like a passion project, something daring and fresh, futuristic even. It's no coincidence every fan-made next-gen console design (all platforms) throughout the years were so futuristic and out of this world, its because passion and excitement were the driving force behind their designs. That's exactly what Sony gave us with the PS5, something different and unexpected, something next-gen, they risked and it paid off big time in my book.

Edit:

I wanted to touch on the whole cooling situation. MS showed Sony how to do heat management with the XB1X. The Pro is Sony's loudest console to date. Fans made sure they listened when it came to heat and noise management. If you take a closer look at what Cerny said regarding their power/heat management design on the ps5 you'd understand it was a major driving factor for the console, to the point they even reversed the whole paradigm, to now having constant power and decrease/increase frequency as needed in order to keep heat and noise down to their minimum. All this tells me the PS5 will be efficiently cooled and super quite.

[Army_of_Darkness]

I need a new white Ikea tv stand for my future ps5.. My current tv stand cannot handle the slick greatness of the white, black and blue glow.

[S2Killinit]

If I had to chose looks wise I would take the PS5, the xbox was nice when first revealed but more and more it looks ordinary as time passes.

[rainslacker]

I wouldn't let the form factor of a console keep me from getting it. Even if it really hurt my aesthetic sensibilities, if I wanted it, I'd find a way to make it work...which would be about as complicated as just sticking it in my entertainment center and forgetting about it. I have some OCD, but I'm not that uptight about such things. Seems like at the start of every gen, everyone suddenly becomes acutely aware of their surroundings and needs everything to be just perfect, but i wonder how many people have socks laying around their living room, and mail and other things piled up on their coffee table.

[darthv72]

The design of a system has never stopped me from getting it. Well maybe the virtualboy only because it just looked uncomfortable and only being displayed in red. Otherwise I buy any system that has good games to play. Im actually more about the controller than the console because its the controller you interact with on a more consistent basis. And i cant wait to get my mits around that DS5. It just looks so comfortable to hold.

[frostypants]

I like the looks of both systems. Though I can't say I like the chunky/blocky form factor of the Xbox as a media stand presence. It would look sweet on a desk.

[timotim]

Can't say something nice about PS5 without trying to knock the competition? We still haven't seen VRS on PS5, yet SX is featureless? Lol...ok

[IRetrouk]

How do you know we haven't seen vrs on the ps5? Was there a tech breakdown at the sony show I missed? A deepdive into the games tech makeup? If not then I'm not sure how you are able to make that statement....almost like you are making stuff up🤔

[Neonridr]

jesus.. I didn't know that if I disapproved of the design that means I'm not good enough for it. Get off your high horse. The Series X could have more features than the PS5 in many departments.

[crazyCoconuts]

@neon, featureless in aesthetic design, as in "featureless face", not actual functionality. We haven't yet seen what the new OS will do, so can't compare in that department.

[TheProblem]

The question he responded to was about why is it bigger than the PS4. So that’s all he responded to. This doesn’t mean that the image of the comparison to the xsx or the fat ps3 is valid yet

[MWH]

or should we say; upward ☝

[SwampthingsSon]

This whole thread is a sh*t show on double standards and biased. The Xbox One was considered huge and heavy and thrashed by fanboys. Now these same fanboys are praising the gargantuan and underpowered PS5. Keep that energy when Xbox does something you don't like. But of course we both know you won't.

[MWH]

It's annoying af but what else did you expect? The rift keep getting bigger with each generation of gamers it's almost hopeless.

[OB1Biker]

You are actually being one sided. Both console have been made fun of from their look. And both have been praised for the shape/size favouring heat handling. The X was praised a lot for the shape handling the power. They are still very different though. X is very thick and really mainly a tower rather than flat. Ps5 is tall but thin enough to stand flat like a typical console.

[richie007bond]

I have to laugh if this was Xbox series X it would be tore limb from limb, but its ok its a PS5 so its forgiven, the damage control is off the charts lol

[ColdSin]

I dont understand people complaining about the size. Many complained about the PS4 sounding loud. This is how that is solved.

[SamTheGamer]

Less people who are complaining about the bigger size and some people are doing it more memes and memes are not complain, they just do it for fun.

[darthv72]

some of these memes are just damn funny. the eye of sauron is pretty good. Same with the chad warden head on top, using the fins like his popped collar.

[SamTheGamer]

I really enjoyed those memes. Damn funny

[I_am_Batman]

I was pleasently surprised at the reactions to the size of the PS5. I always found it weird when people prioritize form factor over functionality. After the jet engine that was the Ps4 most people seem to prefer a silent console over a small one which is awesome.

I'm very curious about the specifics of the cooling solution. Hope we get to see a complete teardown of the PS5 soon.

[IRetrouk]

The cell one or the cloud one is my fav so far, very funny, I like the design but can see the funny, some people are quick and clever man😂

[LOGICWINS]

The size is fine. Hell, I'm even warming up to the design. It's that awful white color that I can't get over. It would completely screw up the matching patterns and colors in my living room.

I'll simply get the Series X first and wait for Sony to drop new color schemes/special editions. Series X will be easier to get anyways due to it not having a limited launch release.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

That's true - I can still remember all those Day 1 Edition xbox ones sitting on pallets in warehouses, next gen won't be any different. So you're safe there.

I think Sony will have custom panels to replace the white ones, at least that's my 2 cents - this same guy has gone on record as saying PS5 is Sonys most customisable console.

[Sunny_D]

Sony executive already confirmed the PS5 will be customizable and even hinted at a black edition. They will show more of it soon.

[Wontime1]

Have you seen the picture of the all black matte ps5?
Waaaaaaaay better.
Still colossal, but way better.

[Good-Smurf]

OK then my wooden furniture would like to have a word with you...and it's brown do I need Atari 2600 to go with it?
Every damn gadgets nowadays are in black I'm so glad that they finally do different main color from the start.

[monkey602]

Haha Villanelle that actually made me laugh 😂

Funny thing is Interior Designers would probably prefer to sit the PS5 into a living room aesthetically

Basing this on actually having a small time interior design business while I study it part time Ha

[gigzamillion]

Choosing a console not based on the games but on rather it matches the patterns and colors of a room, now I've heard it all. smh

[LOGICWINS]

@gigzamillion I've chosen the PS5...I'll just be delaying my purchase until there are more color options. I won't have that mismatched monstrosity in my home.

[rainslacker]

Interior designers nowadays seem to go for minimalism, or eclectic.,,,two styles I'm not personally that into for living in all the time. Most people seem to have eclectic decor unless the wife takes charge and designs stuff as they buy a lot of decorations. But, they're eclectic because most people just buy whatever and throw it into a room, because they don't care that much. I try to get things that match myself, but none of it is really matching.

Minimalism means keeping as little as possible in the room, often with more contemporary angles...which the XSX has. Basically boxy or with simple lines. Contemporary tends to require the whole room have that decor to really make it work. Putting something contemporary in with more traditional furniture tends to make the contemporary be out of place, whereas eclectic everything does look different, but still tends to have a flow to it, so lines are usually better for that.

Overall, it won't matter for these two systems though. Both will work in whatever setting a person has outside of if the console is a centerpiece of their room, which is rare unless it's a game room, and a person with a game room isn't really going to care that much about the design of the console.

The average person is going to put this into their entertainment center, or stand, and be done with it.

[Lamusiqa]

I kinda like the white color but Dbrand is coming out with skins for the PS5 and you can pretty much go all black on the console if you want to since the skin covers the whole area. I'm going with dark mahogany.

[Zeref]

It's literally the biggest console to date. Significantly so.
Of course people are complaining.

The Series X is smaller and significantly more powerful.
It makes Sony look incompetent.

[Zeref]

I didn't say Sony is incompetent. Clearly they're not.
I said they LOOK incompetent. Xbox just happened to make a better console.
No need to be so sensitive.

[WickedLester]

LOL it is not "significantly" more powerful. The power difference is smaller than it was between the PS4 Pro and X1X. Multiplat games will look and run very similar on both machines.

[RazzerRedux]

"The Series X is smaller and has slightly more powerful GPU."

Fixed

[WickedLester]

@Zeref

Oh I see you've bought into the nonsense that suggests that variable frequency makes PS5 a 9TF machine and not 10.3TF. Ok just keep believing the BS. Wait and see when the multiplats start coming out. You're going to be disappointed when all these games look and run very similarly on both consoles.

[RazzerRedux]

"it's a 3tflop difference."

lol....stop lying. It is 2.

"even that is offset significantly with BCPack and Velocity Architecture"

Nonsense. PS5 has Kracken and hardware compression and decompression just like VA. Nothing is "offset".

You've been going to Xbox propaganda meetings again, haven't you?

[The Wood]

You can have a better console. I'll take the better experience just like the pro vs the x. Xbox had all the power. . . Station had all the quality

[Kdoge]

We don't know how either will sound and Xbox won't be much more powerful to make a significant difference.

[WickedLester]

@RazerRedux

Its not even a 2TF difference. Its 1.8. Even with the power difference between the PS4 Pro and the XSX I have to squint to see the difference in a lot of games. At the end of the day, the multiplat games on both console are going to be so similar, you'll need a magnifying glass to tell any difference.

[gigzamillion]

Trying to start fanboy arguments over console size, lol unbelievable. At least we've moved on from arguing about resolution and fps.

"Xbox just happened to make a better console."

lol, ok. Your opinion not a fact.

"No need to be so sensitive."

There's no need to constantly try and agitate people either.

[boing1]

@Zeref

Looks are subjective.
And you're looking at power difference wrong. It's a 16% difference, not 50% like between Pro and One X. Most people stopped caring about it long time ago because you can't play games like Spider-Man or other exclusives. Power difference will mean nothing going forward, especially when it's small. Who will notice 5fps more? And personally, I will gladly take DualSense over this invisible difference. I can't stress enough how awesome it'll be. Had a chance to try hapticks they are using and it's crazy immersive. It's not rumble anymore, you can actually feel the texture. And software-controlled tension on triggers is great too. You can make pulling R2 feel like pulling the trigger on a gun. One of the examples was shooting a bow where tension goes up the more you press it and then you feel the release. It's super easy to dismiss it without trying it yourself. Next-gen stuff IMO. This is exactly what I was always missing from MS and Xbox. Imagination and innovation beyond raw power.

[Kakashi Hatake]

Significantly more powerful? Ugh, get a dictionary Xbox fans.

[rainslacker]

Perception is a fickle bitch. Kind of like when you work your butt off at a job, but others think you don't do enough, or you think that you work your butt off and others aren't, even though you aren't really doing that much, or your doing it wrong and inefficiently making it so you and others have to work harder.

Incompetence is usually exhibited better by behavior, not the package that it comes in.

[darthv72]

@CB... girth doesnt mean what you think it means. The SX has more girth than the 5. The 5 is just really tall.

[frostypants]

Smaller = more prone to heat damage. An issue Microsoft in particular has an awful history with. There's a reason why PC builders like myself generally go for excess case space over compact design (at least, those of us who know what the hell we're doing).

You're also going to be gravely disappointed if you think the XSX is "significantly more powerful". I can assure you the practical visual difference will be minimal, if not non-existent.

[I_am_Batman]

Only if you don't take the difference in GPU clock into account. Would you take a bigger Series X if it allowed MS to clock it up to 2GHz? A lot of people don't seem to realize that the cooling solution has an impact on how the console performs.

In terms of die area the Series X has a much bigger GPU than the PS5, but because Sony can clock the GPU so much higher, the performance gap is much smaller than it otherwise would be. Don't get me wrong I still need evidence that Sony can actually keep that thing cool on a hot summer day, but in theory it's a clever design if the cooling works out.

[Necr0philiac]

Bigger is better! Facts

[DJStotty]

The size of the console has no bearing on the sound it produces.

The sound comes from the rotation of the fans inside.

[Kados]

A larger console can potentially allow for larger fans, which can displace more air while spinning at a lower speed, thereby producing a lower SPL. That is why MS designed the SX the way they did. Heat rises, having a huge vent and huge fan right at the top of the console allows for much higher air displacement while the fan operates at a lower speed.

Unfortunately, the PS5s design, despite being larger will require smaller fans operating at higher speeds. The displacement will also not be nearly as efficient due to most of the heat needing to be forced out the back, rather than the top.

[RazzerRedux]

Heat sinks make no sound and I'm guessing much of that bulk is heat sink.

[zeuanimals]

@Kados: How're you speaking as if you know how the PS5's cooling system is gonna work? Why would they do that when it's common knowledge that hot air rises and the PS5 has vents all along the top? Are they really the idiots you think they are that they're gonna misunderstand basic physics and completely misuse a giant array of vents?

[DJStotty]

@Razzer

We are talking about console fan operation noise, not heatsinks. You can not cool with just heatsinks.

[RazzerRedux]

"You can not cool with just heatsinks."

I said "much", not all. And the topic is size of the console as it relates to cooling. Yes, fans produce sound, but as I said, I think much of that bulk is heat sink as there was much talk about the one Sony patented.

Guess we won't know for sure until the teardown. If I'm wrong then I'm wrong.

[rainslacker]

The ability to dissipate heat is directly tied to the design of the case and parts within, and the cooling system itself. A design that has a more direct airflow with the case requires less work by the fan, thus it'll be quieter. As of right now, the XSX looks to be efficient with that design overall, with a single fan to move air without anything blocking it within the case....which is the best way to do PC cases when it's possible. It's unknown how efficient the PS5 cooling system is, but the design of the system doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't have an efficient cooling system.....just a different one compared to the XSX.

Just to play devil's advocate, and illustrate the point, say the XSX design had poor intake for it's air flow. , That would render the design less effective, as a system needs cool air coming in to allow it to heat up from the parts inside, then that heat is removed by the fan. That would mean that despite the design, and a proper fan, the parts would heat up more, making the fan run faster to move more cool air in.

[Kados]

@zeuanimals:

Common sense. Yes the PS5 will have venting on the top also, obviously. But the space available on the top for venting is limited. Atleast 2/3 of the venting will have to be on the back of the system, based on the physical dimensions of the case. The design also limits the size of fans they will be able to use. It is a video game console, not a Tardis. It won't have more space on the inside than it does on the outside.

[ILostMyMind]

The people who complain are those who will not buy the PS5.

[timotim]

It's the same stance Microsoft took with the original Xbox One after the RROD fiasco. They made it overly big to make sure heat wasn't an issue. I'm sure the box will run cool and silent at that size.

[phoenixwing]

Bigger means more plastic which means higher price

Still buying it when I can

[Hakuoro]

You're talking about pennies per console. The entire plastic housing it a couple bucks per console.

[Obelisk92]

LOL Yeah, plastic, that's what we pay for

[Wontime1]

Bigger console = bigger packaging = higher shipping costs. (To retailers, not to your homes)
Which will be determined if sony passes on to the customer

[Obelisk92]

This is a better argument.
We have to hope they will manage to cramp the console in a relatively small package anyway.

[rainslacker]

They'll pass that cost onto the retailer, or maybe split it with the retailer. The difference in price for distribution of that stuff would be marginal to the actual cost to make and distribute the device. Maybe a buck or two per console, if that. The customer will have a set MSRP price, which could be lower if there is a sale, but they're not going to add on $5-10 to the price because of it.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

That's good

[on_line_forever]

Like I said before hardware and cooling is more important than appearance

[KilluaX3]

They laughed at the size of XSX, but the PS5 is huge.

[CaptainCook]

I know, right? The stand alone makes it about the same size, width as Xbox Series X.

[jambola]

who?
who laughed about the size of the xbox?

[RazzerRedux]

lol....this fiction that is was about size is hilarious. People made fun of the shape. Why do you think it was compared to a fridge? Because it is the *size* of a fridge or the *shape* of a fridge?

[Ghostbob]

No fanboys laughed but let's be real the PS5 just looks way better than the Xbox series x.

[galmi]

nope, disagree

[jznrpg]

The lack of design is what made me laugh with Xbox. It’s a rectangle box . Size is fine

[DJStotty]

Most appliances in an entertainment centre are "rectangle boxes"

Do Blu-ray players, cable boxes etc all have "lack of design"

[anubusgold]

No its a Micro ATX pc.

[ElementX]

A plain case is more customizable, if you're into that sort of thing. You could airbrush some cool art or something, not to mention skins would be easier to design and apply. It's a blank canvas....

[blackblades]

@ElementX but then it'll still be a rectangular box.

[frostypants]

@DJStotty, the form factor of the XSX is entirely different from those devices you mentioned. The only commonality is having corners.

[DJStotty]

@Frosty

But still a rectangle. That is the point. You can not say a "rectangle" box is lack of design, when most electrical devices are based upon the "rectangle" form factor.

Even the PS5 is a rectangle with curves.

[Sunny_D]

But not as wide

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Killua - I don't remember that, people just said it looked like a fridge. It's also not very innovative - Silverstone has been releasing Mini-ITX cases that are basically the same as xsx.

[Rimeskeem]

I’m just laughing at the way it’s shaped. It just looks like a fridge.

[sushimama]

Dude no one laughed at the "size" of the SXS. They laughed at the shape of it. The rectangle. The rectangle block.

[fonger08]

I am very much looking forward to a quiet PS console after having the jet engine that is my ps pro past couple of years

[GOULDYBOBS]

It's going to be loud or hot or both. That's the price for high performance

[anubusgold]

No you need proper cooling my pc is in a full tower i can turn the fans down to whisper quite but still cool everything fine.

[GOULDYBOBS]

@anubusgold I have a kraken x62 for the CPU. 2 x LL140 corsair fans and my 2070 Super has it's own two fans. You can put them in quiet mode yes but the temperature rises

[anubusgold]

@GOULDYBOBS I replaced all my fans with Noctua fans the fans that come with a pc and coolers suck. None of my stuff heats up even when i turn the fans way down. But im old school i believe in front panel fan controllers, software like speed fan never drops the speed of the fans to my liking having a controller is so much better for me. I can turn my fans down to 900 to 1000 rpms and i cant even hear my pc and everything stays cool.

[jznrpg]

My Pro isn’t loud but my OG PS4 is when playing certain games. I know it needs a cleaning but I don’t have the time to mess with it really, it will eat into my game time .

[drpepperdude]

Before I sold my launch PS4 to GameStop it was getting noticeably louder than it used to so I took it apart and cleaned the dust out but it didn't change the volume levels at all. I assume either the fan was going bad or it's the thermal paste. My PS4 Pro was only loud during certain games, I don't remember it being a problem though but that was a new Pro when I had it. My X1X is definitely quieter than both but time will tell if it get's louder.

[King_Noctis]

Now I gotta figure out how to fit it on the shelf under my TV.

[RazzerRedux]

lol....your shelf is less than 16" wide?

[King_Noctis]

Well I also have a Switch and other stuff under there, and I'm most likely not gonna sell off my PS4 anytime soon, so space is limited for me.

[CRASHBASHUK]

same here as i got a ikea kallax square unit the only way i can make it fit is remove one of the middle panels but hope it does not make the unit weaker with the tv on top

[StoneyYoshi]

You need to save your money and buy a real entertainment stand instead of worrying what system will fit in a shoe shelf... lol

[RazzerRedux]

@CRASHBASHUK

Well, you are using a book shelf as an entertainment center so....may want to rethink that.

@StoneyYoshi

"You need to save your money and buy a real entertainment stand"

lol....he wouldn't even need to spend much. This cheap $15 IKEA TV stand would be a better option than using that book shelf he has now.

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/...

[RazzerRedux]

@CRASHBASHUK
"@razzerredux book shelf?"

Yeah. This is the ikea you linked to in another post:

"i rely hope its not 3 inches taller as some gamers have IKEA kallax square unit the ps4 fits perfect"

https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/...
https://n4g.com/news/235208...

That's a book shelf. Not an entertainment center. Not sure what your google search is supposed to be.

"also that tv unit is ugly lol"

At least it is actually for TVs.

[gigzamillion]

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

[CRASHBASHUK]

yep i did thanks did a little research you can as long you dont remove too many panales should be ok

@razzerredux book shelf? https://www.google.com/sear...
also that tv unit is ugly lol

[SyntheticForm]

I like the memes. They're fun and I get it, but when people start complaining about how they're gonna fit this into whatever kinda setup they have, it gets a little silly.

It's the new PlayStation - it's the PS5 - you'll make it work. On the shelf, off the shelf - whatever. You'll plug it in, set it up, and that'll be that.

[xX-oldboy-Xx]

Yep - it won't be any bigger than a high-end UHD player from Panasonic, OPPO or Pioneer - the Pioneer ones are HUGE.

[rainslacker]

It's still a lot smaller than all but the most basic of home receiver/amplifiers. A surround sound receiver is quite bulky nowadays....especially the mid-range 7.1(or higher) systems with lots of inputs and speaker channels. If people are putting those into modern home theater stands, which are honestly too shallow for them nowadays, the PS5 and XSX will be fine assuming it's large enough to put in multiple components.

Having them sit vertically may not work for a lot of people, but luckily they can be put in vertically.

[RazzerRedux]

It is getting ridiculous. So take this tiny entertainment center that can only hold a 32" TV:

https://www.amazon.com/FURI...

That small second shelf is 60.5 cm (23.8 inches) in length. PS5 is only 40.5 cm (15.74 inches) long when sitting on its side according to IGN.

So why are people creating this fictional problem? Oh....I guess I already know the answer to that.

[GOULDYBOBS]

Not everyone wants the focal point in their living room to look like a router

[SyntheticForm]

If the PS5 doesn't integrate well with the rest of your room, or if you find it too garish, I don't know what to tell you. But, honestly, this conversation wasn't really about room cohesion, it was just about room, or space.

Your concerns are dumb. I'm just going to say it - they're dumb. It's a nice piece of modern technology and it's a media center and video game console. There are many devices that clash with rooms, and if it's not to your general taste, I don't care, lol.

[SpaceRanger]

There’s been rumors of updated PSVR hardware being included. Thus adding to some of the size. Not sure the validity of that, but it would make every PS5 VR ready without an additional box.

The ports in the back would be a first indicator before a true tear down.

[Old_Boss_]

Highly possible since they didn't show the back ports, Imagine a wireless standalone PSVR2 unit that connects to PS5 with a special adapter on the back on PS5.

[DeadManMMX]

Makes sense. Ever since we saw that patent for the heat sink it looked like it would have a little size to it.

[Futureshark]

I wonder if the white panels come of and are interchangeable. Could be a little money spinner if people don't like the white and there's special edition panels to match your favourite games.
I believe MS did a similar thing on the 360 back in the day, the front panel on the original 360 could be removed and replaced with a custom one, wasn't cheap for a piece of plastic but nowadays people might go for it, especially with the trend of buying cosmetics in online games e.g. Fortnite.
So maybe the PS5 can be cosmetically changed, but it's size will stay the same of course.

[SamPao]

Yeah some executive said this generation is going to be more customizable. So they gotta be interchangeable

[Max_Eckhardt]

It has a fridge inside.

[Max_Eckhardt]

Series X is more powerful and in a smaller form factor. I wonder if it will overheat? Or has Microsoft out-engineered Sony?

[galmi]

we dont talk about that here

[AspiringProGenji]

I don’t think so. They just designed everything to fit in a rectangle case this time, while PS5 is more flat. Different design choices

[Sunny_D]

If boring pc tower is out-engineering, then I’ll pass.

[Oxen21]

The console looks amazing and its running cool. This is what matters!

[DaylightChris]

As long as it doesnt sound like a rocket starting Im fine

[FernDiggidy]

Can't wait!

[Flewid638]

Love it or hate it, it stands out. Thats what Sony wanted....that when you buy the console that it LOOKS next-gen.

Despite the specs, if one were to only use their eyes, the PS5 looks like the more powerful design simply because of how it looks. I'm not saying the design itself is good or bad, but Sony gets it.

[galmi]

didnt they say they made it to fit the living room, why would it wanna stand out?

[Atticus_finch]

Why would the not want it to stand out. Lol

[sushimama]

Because it's the best thing in your house

[SaveFerris]

I hope that means it will also run quieter.

[Games1st]

People are still going to shove it in small and dirty places, then complain about noise and heat.

[Kumakai]

Obviously....
It’s why the series x is also a big cube that’s basically a tube top to bottom. .

[Minute Man 721]

I figured it's for cooling.
