Thanks @Andy Bassett.
Perhaps I missed it, but is the disc drive a UHD drive? And if so do we know if it will be a well featured UHD player, ie with Dolby Vision?
Cheers
Personally I don’t like it, especially as I always tend to have consoles sitting horizontally under the TV.
I think Sony are trying to be radical and different without bothering if it actually genuinely looks good. This will have a bit of a wow factor in a 14 year old’s bedroom but won’t sit well in and actual adult/family living room IMHO.
It‘s not a deal breaker and won’t affect my usual PS purchase but I seem to be one of the few not wowed by it. I might even wait for the inevitable Slim or whatever they call the update to see if they tighten up the design a bit.

So you’re choosing form over function?I’d say digital only is the way to go because with the disc drive....sheesh....

If you were already planning on going all digital then no need for the disc drive, but otherwise...
Personally, I like it.
Worst design is still the original PS3

To be fair the XSX doesn't look that much wider than the ps5 in that photo but is shorter and shallower. I'll be interested to see a teardown to see how the cooling works, the first dive in to the XSX gave great and unprecedented details on a new console and really made the point that cooling was front and centre for the new design.That XSX is massive :-O That wouldn't fit in my AV rack. Thankfully the PS5 will when it's horizontal.
Until you run out of storage. Literally chopping and changing my games library each week to have to make space for new downloads. Having to do it today again with the release of Project Warlock. Bloody Game Pass has spoiled me.
XCloud's official release can't come fast enough.

Fttp needs to start becoming more common. Now we have it with gigabit speeds I just don't care about space limitations as it's not a planning exercise to play a game having to download them or patches anymore. With an actual ultrafast connection smaller hard drives are less of an issue l, 9 or 10 games installed is enough and I can just delete and download a new one in at most a couple of hours, even less if you can start after the first 15% is done.Until you run out of storage.
