Sony usually use fans from two or three different manufacturers as it helps prevent supply issues by having different manufacturers supply the 'same' part. While they're supposed to be equivalent, they are different fans made by different companies, so they will look and perform differently as well. There are entire debates around the different fans and some people will pay top dollar to switch their fan out for a 'better' one. When you pick up a PS5, it's just luck of the draw with regards to which fan you end up with, it's not an actual difference between the digital vs physical console.
@@sai9079 I haven’t looked into it for the slim, but I suspect it’s still a little early in the Slim’s life to have figured out which fans are best. For the original PS5, people prefer the fan made by Delta, followed by the NMB, and lastly, the Nidac is considered bad, but I’m sure plenty of people have that fan without even realising they have it. Everything contributes to the properties of a fan from the angle of the blades, the number of them, whether they’re different sizes (which make noise at different frequencies which can make it sound quieter), the noise of the motor itself, how effectively it cools which affects the speed it needs to run at etc. It’s not something you can really just look at and judge, people have to measure each one to figure it out. Personally I don’t think it’s worth worrying about, if your unit is quiet, then awesome, if it’s not, send it in to Sony and get it swapped out.
The new stand looks nice! I’m impressed with the option to add (or swap) a disc drive to the digital version- that is very cool. Thanks for the vid and all the best!
I have now made a decision, I'll be getting the digital slim tomorrow, I was waiting for the pro but I can't take it anymore.. 😂 I waited 3 years too long! It's a wrap.. nice video!
I thought the disc version wasn't gonna be removable. I thought the digital version would have the advantage to add the disc drive. But when I see the disc version with removable drive, it makes the slim pointless. Just buy the disc version to begin with.
I think Sony should have just released the digital version and sold the disk add- on with the plate as an upgrade put the stand in the box but also sold the stand separately to those who have a OG PS5
People say digital is the way to go, but the thing about digital is that if something happens to your internet or your 6:14 account, you're pretty much assed out of all your games. A few months ago I was talking with my wife one night around 11:00 p.m. and out of nowhere I got a notification of a charge for a purchase. I immediately called my bank and cancelled it because I thought I was hacked. I changed my password and changed my billing. About a week later, I noticed my account was suspended. Turns out it was an EA subscription I forgot about. It was concidered a chargeback and it violated terms with my account. With my suspended subsciption to PSN, I had no access to any games I purchased digitally. Not long after my kids broke the T.V. so I haven't been on Playstation for months. I'm trying to get my account restored now, but it says my account is suspended permanently, and customer service is no help. Supposedly have to pay the debt back and even that is not a guarantee I will get my account back. So yeah, digital is not the way to go.
Sounds like you need to push the issue harder then i hate customer service myself but you best believe id be driving them completely nuts until they fixed it. If you paid for all them games you best believe you gotta get them back. Don't take no for an answer and stay on them. I personally owned everything digital and have since ps4 myself.
@jagerbombs762 If I make a new account, I don't get back everything I purchased. Also it has nothing to do with managing my money, I thought someone hacked my account so I denied the purchase and didn't realized what happened because I didn't play for a while.
The digital version definitely looks better, but I traded in my OG PS5 digital verion that I have had since 6/2021and bought the PS5 Slim with disk drive because I have had to pass up MANY better deals on used PHYSICAL versions of PS5 games as I had no way to play them. I have a Series X and it was just galling because even recently I was able to get a better deal on Jedi Survivor and the Metal Gear Solid collection on disc for Xbox and had to pass up the PS5 disc version of some other games. So just having that flexibility was enough for me to get a $350 trade-in on my PS5 towards my PS slim disc version that came with Spider-Man 2 (Ironically, a code, not disc though.) 😜
Good video, but let me clarify a couple of points. - #1. The PS5 slim digital version is EXACTLY the same as the disc version, except that the digital version does not include the disc drive. The slight differences in the fan you see are irrelevant and are just part variation due to part availably at point of manufacture. I can pretty much guarantee you will see those types of fans in the opposite version if you opened up enough of them. #2. - That added piece for the stand is definitely for the older PS5's.
@@ivsadelinn8 no difference bro the digital edition just doesn't have a disk slot they perform the same it's up to u if u want disk edition or digital 🤷🏾
"I don't like to deal with discs" so I will pay $50 more for digital and have a glorified rental for my video games. Yes, people like you are the biggest problem. The reason why I am moving away from the gaming market. Watch GTA 6 be digital only. Mark my words.
I want to buy the disc version, remove all plates and replace them with digital versions plates to make it sleeker. Is that possible?? Pls guide before I buy.
I asked the exact same question. Today 😂… I see you posted this 13 days ago.. I just sold my OG ps5 .. and where I live.. I can only get the disc slim version.. but sht… I never buy discs 😂… I want a true slim version.. can you answer this man.. can we swap out the disc slim version with a digital plaaaaate ????!??
@@beach_boy1141 because with the disc version u can get a bundle that is 500 dollars so pretty much the game you get with your bundle is free you won't have to spend 70 extra dollars say the Marvels Spiderman 2 bundle is 500 and the game is 70 dollars if u don't buy the bundle which your are getting a free game when u get the bundle where as with the digital edition you have to spend a bit more because the digital does not have a bundle for a game for free with it just has the console so u have the buy the game separately for 70 dollars unless there's a sale on that game
as someone who dont make as much money I go with the disc version so I can get games at a cheaper discount I spend 500 for a console that I will be using most likely use for the next 10 years! Most of the money I spend per years is on games on new games you can spend well over a thousand were with disc you can simply get them 20-80 percent off after the first 2 or 3 weeks.
My second ps5 slim disc is very audible across the whole room, the first one was like it, is the ps5 slim digital quiet as well? Because I don’t want a console where I can hear the fans across the room and in quiet environments within my game. Do I get the slim or og digital which is silent
Did you experience overheating issues? I recently got one and its overheating, The fan is quite unstable. It once shutdown on the menu of FC25. I just wanted to know if it's an isolated or common issue.
Just a heads up for those in the comments if you're not aware. the preferable orientation for all PS5's is horizontal. To back that claim up and provide some insight for those who aren't aware or just haven't given it much thought... 1. Consoles in general, are notoriously susceptible to overheating due to the fact that they're essentially high-end gaming PC's (at the time of design) with an incredible amount of design constraints as far as the size/form factor, sleek looks for average consumers, cost, etc. Compromises must be made to cram everything into an enclosure that's very small and incredibly dense relatively speaking, so the cooling solution is never maximally optimized in a console, rather they're compromised. Though admittedly, Sony did a great job with the design given the constraints and form factor of the unit, the fact that they used a beefy fan that goes through the entire unit is certainly a feat of engineering. Sony really shows their technical chops with the PS5, compared to the XBOX X, which has an excellent cooling system for a console, but they compromised their form factor drastically to make that happen as it's literally just an elongated box so not nearly as challenging to implement a proper cooling solution. 2. Just look at the orientation of the fan, it goes through the unit top to bottom when horizontal to cool the APU. As hot air naturally rises, it makes sense. But, with the way the exterior panels and vents are designed it does also work vertically but there are other reasons to run it horizontal. 3. The APU uses liquid metal as a thermal compond between the processor and the cooler. Liquid metal is heavy and if/when it gets very hot, it flows downward dripping down. This not only causes the thermal conductivity to drop between the APU and cooler causing even further over heating, but it can short out other components/areas of the motherboard depending where it lands. This has been known to happen on the OG PS5 and theres some evidence showing the same with the Slim. Teardowns indicate the Slim has the same APU, general layout/design and cooler, and the use of liquid metal, which is good, but just not in a unit that may overheat. Mounting the unit horizontall takes this out of the equation. 4. Sony essentially agrees that using the device horizontal is preferred because they no longer include the vertical stand out of the box after the issues with the OG PS5 and the EULA (end user license agreement) for the vertical stand, essentially says use at your own risk. They offer it because sometimes people do not have the room to run the unit horizontally and it would certainly cost them some sales. 5. Obviously the unit is more stable in the horizontal orientation… With that said, you still can run it vertically and many people will do so without issue, but you should at least be aware of the potential risks of doing so. I’d personally treat it as a last resort if there was no way that I could make room for it horizontally without putting it on the carpet but usually you can always figure out a way unless you live in a tiny home or something lol. Lastly, remember to give a bit of thought as to the placement and environment of the unit regardless of orientation. Some tips I always follow: 1. Don't run a console or any device that requires cooling it in a closed cabinet unless it's a media center that's designed for consoles and AVR gear with proper venting. * BDI makes phenominal/wife approved media centers and furniture oriented towards tech/gear enthusiasts. But they're pretty pricey, mine was around $3k, but to me, worth it as it’s design is like no other and the materials used are top notch, no IKEA partical board that disintegrates, especially if you move. 2. Give the unit at least a few inches or more of space all around it and especially on top and around the intake and exhaust vents. 3. Try not to put many powerful/hott devices in the same cubby or area. For example in my BDI Corridor 8179, which is designed from the ground up for housing a metric shit ton of expensive electronics with excellent cable management and adequate ventilation with vented slats for cabinet doors to safely run everything with everything closed, vented sliding and removable rear panels for cooling and accessing gear/ports/cables, vents on the bottom of the unit, vents on every shelf of the unit, and it even has vents on the top of the unit in which the glass top is raised off the surface to allow hot air to escape. I’ve got an 75” TCL QM8 Mini QLED TV on top with a Hue sync box and lighting. I run my receiver/processor/amp in the left bottom cabinet, my Apple TV and logitech Harmony receiver in the top left, my Mac Mini/Unifi Switch for networking and my console controller chargers in the large center cubby on top, the bottom center cubby has soft IKEA bins with some cables in one/console controllers and pieces in another/etc, and in the right cabinet I've got my PS5 Slim Digital on the top shelf, and my Nintendo SWITCH OLED on the bottom shelf which I never use the two consoles at the same time so there's no risk of heatsoaking that side of the cabinet. All that should keep you gaming for years until your next console. Happy gaming!
Personally I’m with people on the digital slim isn’t worth it, but honestly digital consoles aren’t worth it in general about a 50$-100$ price drop just so you can buy 3 games and than it’s the normal ps5 price where with disc consoles you have so much more freedom to buy used games or get them on sale ( but I respect your opinion dawg)
Awesome 👏🏽 video explanation bro keep up the good work! Yeah that digital PS5 slim is clean if I were to get another that’s the one I’d get, cause I’m over disc models and buying all those games eventually you get to a point where you have no room to place all those disc, but I’m good with the OG PS5 digital cause paying extra $50 more for the slim is crazy! But great video Happy Holidays God Bless
to everyone talking about the standing i was thinking, it's an extremely minimal design which sort of doesn't make sense for gaming console but it does look kinda cool like the console is floating from far away you can't see the stands anyway
Wait so you can turn the digital to disk and the disk to digital. But you can pay 50.00 more and can get a 80.00 drive and a 70.00 game (digital). And still turn it into a digital?
You do understand that both PS5 Slims are Digital versions.. One was shipped with the disk drive, the other without the disk drive. the difference between the fans is just different fan manufacturers, just like the OG PS5 has 3 different fan manufacturers in the Day 1 model, the 1st revision has 3 fan models, identical to the Day 1, and the 3rd revision with 3 fan models identical to the day 1 model. with the PS5 Slim Digital Console (shipped with disk or without) they use 2 different fan models and any of the Slims could have either fan.
11:15 your right that’s for the OG ps5 and also ngl i have a disk model but i play all digital games but i will say the disk drive did come in handy when i had no WiFi and wanted to watch a movie and so i put rango into the slot causing Blu-ray to turn on. Btw i dont feel i would need the stand due to my set up and how my ps5 sits
I asked a question to another RUclipsr before but never got an answer. So the question is has anyone thought of getting up after about 10 mins of play and feeling the bottom left and right panels? They do get 🔥is this an issue? Is this ok?
Here the digital slim version is 350 euro and the disc 500 euro. The disc drive i can get for 90 euro. To be sure is the digital version upgradable to disc? Because most of the games i play will start from ps plus premium.
Yes the ps5 slim digital is upgradable to disc version if you buy the disc drive separately and attach it. U need an Internet connection first time to make it work
I grew up playing playstation.I had the Ps1 to ps4 but couldn't bring myself to get the 5 because of its looks. I went with the xbox x, and I'm now considering the ps5 digital edition for Christmas. It looks a lot better than the other models
Having to register the disc drive on the Slim regardless of the version is a MAJOR drawback and deal breaker for me. WHY SONY!!!!!!!??????? Oh and by the way CKid, it's not 1TB right out of the box, when you take into account the OS. It's a marketing ploy from Sony, always has been. And to be honest, it's not really that much of an increase when you think about it. It's the equivalent of 1 or 2 extra games (depending on the size of the game).
Yea you're right I think you only get around 820GB because of OS software installed. But I'm curious why is registering the disc drive a drawback for you?
@@CKidM Because at the end of the day, why should anyone have to do that? Especially for kids that have just hypothetically got a PS5 Slim for Christmas but suddenly find they have to 'register' the disc drive with their console (whether they get the disc version or the digital and get the drive after the fact). You never had to with the OG PS5 so why should you have to with this one? End of the day CKid, it's a hassle. Yes it may only be a one-time thing, but it's still a hassle. And plus if that drive goes back and you need to get another one, you have to do that all over again, as well as de-register the old/faulty one.
You just earned yourself a subscriber. Thanks for the info. straight to the point with some comedy lol. i was dead when you said i know yall disc warriors down there hahahaha. dope videos bro.
Yes it's very stable. But I don't recommend standing the slim without the stand because the slim has vents on the bottom for the heat to escape. So without the stand it blocks it off. Not good in case of overheating
Yes the disc version and digital can stand great without the stand. But wouldn't recommend it. You need space under the console to help it vent. On both versions
As an Xbox guy, I went with the ps5 slim digital as I dont own that many Playstation games. However, I still have a ps4 and just found out I can transfer all my digital games from the ps4 to the ps5.
Just got mine today, i got the digital for $375 with the fortnite bundle and it was only $50 cheaper than the disc version, also why get the disc if it’s just almost exactly the same only with the disc drive, unless if you’re some collector and want to have a display collection of ps5 games then ig spend $50 more for the disc. I personally don’t really care for whichever version but yk i got it cause it was cheaper lol
That’s how they want you to feel about the disc version. They made it so the disk drive doesn’t belong in the design language of the console and is an afterthought (ironically, I like it more because of the quirky asymmetry). The ultimate goal is to ditch the physical media. “You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy”.
@NatureHawk Hmm, not cool. I can’t remember how it was back on PS4. I guess you still have the benefit of reselling disks. And I like to own a physical game package (mainly on consoles), even though it’s not as convenient.
For me, the disc version is thee absolute BEST solution for my needs and wants. Why? Well because i have a TON OF BLU-RAY movie disc's and 3D movies disc for my PSVR. It was a no brainer for me and i love my disc version to death.
Once you beat the game that you're probably not going to play again you can't sell that game. If you buy a game and you don't like that game they might give you a refund they might not.. These are the reasons why by disk and I can also go to a pawn shop and get a game more likely than not than what it's going to be on the PlayStation store digitally even if it's a old game... Every once in awhile they have them for super dirt cheap..
You won't be able to get a refund from Sony for digital games. That is just fact. And even if you could, it would be a miracle. Totally agree with you. Physical disc all the way for me.
@@jordanking7711 yeah I think that's what people like to understand you know they say Yes I get to save all this room I don't have to keep physical copies I don't have to worry about games being lost but I'm be real with you I've made at least 1/3 of the money that I've spent back because I buy it disc.. and for people who really pay attention sometimes digital games are more expensive than disc and I'm not talking about the deluxe or ultimately additions of games..
Ehh to each to own. The server last a long time as 20+ years. Video games preservation is a hot topic these days that greatly benefits past gen console. I can’t see PS5 being on the same catagory. Additionally There always somebody selling their finished low resale/high replay value game (because life..ya know you get older.. things have changed, etc) and then later rebuy the same game again which wouldn’t even be $ smart. In this case, keep it and preserve it.
@edgaryzen4925 Yeah but that's from multiplayer games I don't play much of those. The biggest reason is The price of games keeps getting higher and and higher, they average about 70 a pop now. greed with theses company's keep getting worse. The c e o of rockstar literally said game should be priced based on how long they take you to beat. Wtf???? Uh no
Can we see the digital version with the supplied plastic stand? I wonder if it makes the console slope upwards. I only ask Becuz I have the slim disc and the pregnant drive levels the console perfectly with the plastic feet.
It has shorter feet so it looks similar enough... the biggest difference is that it becomes a tripod. Like, because it's wider in the back, it sits there on the 4 icons for that corner, floats in the air in the front, and then has the 2 plastic feet. Yes, you can wobble it if you press down on that front corner.
You can't resell games that you buy that you don't like or beat.. I can go to a pawn shop and get older games cheaper than what I can get and if I were to buy them digitally every once in awhile PlayStation will have some really good cells but other than that I'm good I'm not saying I never download digital games but the only ones I download are the games that have a very high replay value.. Digital is great for people who don't care about those things.. I have friends that are casual gamers that have bought multiple games over the years that they haven't beat digitally and they can't get any money back from that..
@@azarfe11Life25 For someone who doesn’t care about reselling games or buying used games digital is the way to go. I don’t buy older games. If I do check out older games they are usually free on PlayStation plus premium. The games I really want I buy them when they first release anyway. It’s also a benefit being digital if you have a portal because the game I wanna play doesn’t have to be in the disc drive. Switching out games on the PS5 isn’t my thing.
If something happens to your internet or account, you're screwed. Trust me, I got my account suspended because I canceled a payment thinking I got hacked. Turns out it was a subscription to EA I forgot about. I haven't played in months because my kids broke the TV and I didn't even know I was suspended. Now my account says suspended permanently and I'm hoping I can restore it by paying off the debt. So yeah, digital sucks.
The PS5 with a Disc Drive is just a bundled PS5 Digital with a Disc Drive. Lol. You get more for your money. It's basically like Xbox 360 days, Get one basic with nothing or bundled with a drive. I'm just happy they gave us the options of Disc drives still! : )! I own all Disc Games, i don't do digital because my internet blows. xD!
I agree from the side but from the front the disc one looks kinda goofy with the drive on the side and the digital one is really slim so I guess it lives up to the name lol
Hello, I'm asking because I don't know. I live in Turkey. I bought a PS5 slim abroad. I changed the console language to Turkish, but at the first startup, a message appears in English (see important health and safety warnings in the settings menu). There is no warning. Do you think this is a problem?

Good video, but let me clarify a couple of points. -
#1. The PS5 slim digital version is EXACTLY the same as the disc version, except that the digital version does not include the disc drive. The slight differences in the fan you see are irrelevant and are just part variation due to part availably at point of manufacture. I can pretty much guarantee you will see those types of fans in the opposite version if you opened up enough of them.
#2. - That added piece for the stand is definitely for the older PS5's.
so, is not a performance difference between digital edition and disc drive , even if the fans is different !?
125gb more storage!
@@ivsadelinn8 no difference bro the digital edition just doesn't have a disk slot they perform the same it's up to u if u want disk edition or digital 🤷🏾
"I don't like to deal with discs" so I will pay $50 more for digital and have a glorified rental for my video games. Yes, people like you are the biggest problem. The reason why I am moving away from the gaming market. Watch GTA 6 be digital only. Mark my words.
Crazy how you still need to download digitally even with a disc
I want to buy the disc version, remove all plates and replace them with digital versions plates to make it sleeker. Is that possible?? Pls guide before I buy.
I asked the exact same question. Today 😂… I see you posted this 13 days ago.. I just sold my OG ps5 .. and where I live.. I can only get the disc slim version.. but sht… I never buy discs 😂… I want a true slim version.. can you answer this man.. can we swap out the disc slim version with a digital plaaaaate ????!??
The fact that it costs more is very anti consumer.
How?
Explain?
@@beach_boy1141 because with the disc version u can get a bundle that is 500 dollars so pretty much the game you get with your bundle is free you won't have to spend 70 extra dollars say the Marvels Spiderman 2 bundle is 500 and the game is 70 dollars if u don't buy the bundle which your are getting a free game when u get the bundle where as with the digital edition you have to spend a bit more because the digital does not have a bundle for a game for free with it just has the console so u have the buy the game separately for 70 dollars unless there's a sale on that game
@@CKidMhe’s saying the digital version cost 50$ more than the og digital which is very weird
@@cappy699 We know that but how is it anti consumer? The best deal is the disc version so how is it anti consumer?
I like the digital version and i will definitely buy digital version soon.
as someone who dont make as much money I go with the disc version so I can get games at a cheaper discount I spend 500 for a console that I will be using most likely use for the next 10 years! Most of the money I spend per years is on games on new games you can spend well over a thousand were with disc you can simply get them 20-80 percent off after the first 2 or 3 weeks.
Most of the good games are included in playstation plus extra
Thanks for unboxing bro, I'm getting mines tomorrow. 😎
My second ps5 slim disc is very audible across the whole room, the first one was like it, is the ps5 slim digital quiet as well? Because I don’t want a console where I can hear the fans across the room and in quiet environments within my game. Do I get the slim or og digital which is silent
I'm loving the PS5 Slim. Platinum Spider Man 2. Now on to Horizon Forbidden West. 1st Party PS5 games are on another level.
W!
@LosoBanks_332 No I have the Slim with the disk drive
PS5 slim looks wayy better than the original one
What I don't understand is why the disc version doesn't come with an extra plate to replace the disc player space when you take it out
tbh i agree a extra plate so you could change it basically to digital so cool
@@winterplaysYTfun I emailed Dbrand they said they got plates coming soon for the both systems
They are charging £99 for the disk drive if you decide to upgrade your PS5 slim to a disk version of it its crazy that they charge £99 extra
You download the games on digital ps5?
Did you experience overheating issues? I recently got one and its overheating, The fan is quite unstable. It once shutdown on the menu of FC25. I just wanted to know if it's an isolated or common issue.
4:51 will live rent free in my head😂😂😂😂
🤣
i recently got a ps5 slim disc version and having a ps5 is so much fun. especially more than just watching the videos. 😂
What games you playing?
@@CKidMspider man 2, god of war and ea fc 24. Any suggestions?
@@lucasbotti8218I don’t think he was talking to you lol
What is the difference between ps5 slim digital version (with disc intalled after)and ps5 slim disc version??
How long does it take you to ship a product I ordered? It has been 4 days.
Just checked..your order is scheduled to be shipped out on tomorrow.
Just a heads up for those in the comments if you're not aware. the preferable orientation for all PS5's is horizontal. To back that claim up and provide some insight for those who aren't aware or just haven't given it much thought...
1. Consoles in general, are notoriously susceptible to overheating due to the fact that they're essentially high-end gaming PC's (at the time of design) with an incredible amount of design constraints as far as the size/form factor, sleek looks for average consumers, cost, etc. Compromises must be made to cram everything into an enclosure that's very small and incredibly dense relatively speaking, so the cooling solution is never maximally optimized in a console, rather they're compromised. Though admittedly, Sony did a great job with the design given the constraints and form factor of the unit, the fact that they used a beefy fan that goes through the entire unit is certainly a feat of engineering. Sony really shows their technical chops with the PS5, compared to the XBOX X, which has an excellent cooling system for a console, but they compromised their form factor drastically to make that happen as it's literally just an elongated box so not nearly as challenging to implement a proper cooling solution.
2. Just look at the orientation of the fan, it goes through the unit top to bottom when horizontal to cool the APU. As hot air naturally rises, it makes sense. But, with the way the exterior panels and vents are designed it does also work vertically but there are other reasons to run it horizontal.
3. The APU uses liquid metal as a thermal compond between the processor and the cooler. Liquid metal is heavy and if/when it gets very hot, it flows downward dripping down. This not only causes the thermal conductivity to drop between the APU and cooler causing even further over heating, but it can short out other components/areas of the motherboard depending where it lands. This has been known to happen on the OG PS5 and theres some evidence showing the same with the Slim. Teardowns indicate the Slim has the same APU, general layout/design and cooler, and the use of liquid metal, which is good, but just not in a unit that may overheat. Mounting the unit horizontall takes this out of the equation.
4. Sony essentially agrees that using the device horizontal is preferred because they no longer include the vertical stand out of the box after the issues with the OG PS5 and the EULA (end user license agreement) for the vertical stand, essentially says use at your own risk. They offer it because sometimes people do not have the room to run the unit horizontally and it would certainly cost them some sales.
5. Obviously the unit is more stable in the horizontal orientation…
With that said, you still can run it vertically and many people will do so without issue, but you should at least be aware of the potential risks of doing so. I’d personally treat it as a last resort if there was no way that I could make room for it horizontally without putting it on the carpet but usually you can always figure out a way unless you live in a tiny home or something lol.
Lastly, remember to give a bit of thought as to the placement and environment of the unit regardless of orientation. Some tips I always follow:
1. Don't run a console or any device that requires cooling it in a closed cabinet unless it's a media center that's designed for consoles and AVR gear with proper venting.
* BDI makes phenominal/wife approved media centers and furniture oriented towards tech/gear enthusiasts. But they're pretty pricey, mine was around $3k, but to me, worth it as it’s design is like no other and the materials used are top notch, no IKEA partical board that disintegrates, especially if you move.
2. Give the unit at least a few inches or more of space all around it and especially on top and around the intake and exhaust vents.
3. Try not to put many powerful/hott devices in the same cubby or area.
For example in my BDI Corridor 8179, which is designed from the ground up for housing a metric shit ton of expensive electronics with excellent cable management and adequate ventilation with vented slats for cabinet doors to safely run everything with everything closed, vented sliding and removable rear panels for cooling and accessing gear/ports/cables, vents on the bottom of the unit, vents on every shelf of the unit, and it even has vents on the top of the unit in which the glass top is raised off the surface to allow hot air to escape. I’ve got an 75” TCL QM8 Mini QLED TV on top with a Hue sync box and lighting. I run my receiver/processor/amp in the left bottom cabinet, my Apple TV and logitech Harmony receiver in the top left, my Mac Mini/Unifi Switch for networking and my console controller chargers in the large center cubby on top, the bottom center cubby has soft IKEA bins with some cables in one/console controllers and pieces in another/etc, and in the right cabinet I've got my PS5 Slim Digital on the top shelf, and my Nintendo SWITCH OLED on the bottom shelf which I never use the two consoles at the same time so there's no risk of heatsoaking that side of the cabinet.
All that should keep you gaming for years until your next console. Happy gaming!
My only question is will you be able to download games digitally on ps5 slim disc version?
Whether the console is a digit model or has the physical disc drive they both can have digital games downloaded to them
I was interested in hearing the comparison on the fan noise between the two.
3 years into the PS5 disk version and I have yet do buy a single disk
Haha...see what I mean
It would be interesting, if you try putting the disc drive of disc version in digital version. 🤔
You can't. That's why it's digital
you can put disc drive in digital version of slim @@joshylineallen
You can,but the digital version would just have no plate covering it
Will you be able to increase storage with digital?
Yeah is true Great video Bro!!🎉😎🔥
Personally I’m with people on the digital slim isn’t worth it, but honestly digital consoles aren’t worth it in general about a 50$-100$ price drop just so you can buy 3 games and than it’s the normal ps5 price where with disc consoles you have so much more freedom to buy used games or get them on sale ( but I respect your opinion dawg)
Awesome 👏🏽 video explanation bro keep up the good work! Yeah that digital PS5 slim is clean if I were to get another that’s the one I’d get, cause I’m over disc models and buying all those games eventually you get to a point where you have no room to place all those disc, but I’m good with the OG PS5 digital cause paying extra $50 more for the slim is crazy! But great video Happy Holidays God Bless
Exactly...I don't have time to figure out where I'm gonna be storing all those games. LOL
@@CKidM haha same here then when you go look for the game it’s not in its game case then it’s either in the PlayStation or something. lol 😂
The only reason I have the disc version is because all the disc games I already have
to everyone talking about the standing i was thinking, it's an extremely minimal design which sort of doesn't make sense for gaming console but it does look kinda cool like the console is floating from far away you can't see the stands anyway
Wait so you can turn the digital to disk and the disk to digital. But you can pay 50.00 more and can get a 80.00 drive and a 70.00 game (digital). And still turn it into a digital?
Only thing missing is the slim panel but u can prolly order that from third party
You do understand that both PS5 Slims are Digital versions.. One was shipped with the disk drive, the other without the disk drive. the difference between the fans is just different fan manufacturers, just like the OG PS5 has 3 different fan manufacturers in the Day 1 model, the 1st revision has 3 fan models, identical to the Day 1, and the 3rd revision with 3 fan models identical to the day 1 model. with the PS5 Slim Digital Console (shipped with disk or without) they use 2 different fan models and any of the Slims could have either fan.
I do understand that...I have both of them. But I refer to them as they are sold on the website.
How does it sound with the digital slim
Good video i really do love the digital more. I had the og digital sold it in june of this yr. Now i ordered the slim digital two days ago
11:15 your right that’s for the OG ps5 and also ngl i have a disk model but i play all digital games but i will say the disk drive did come in handy when i had no WiFi and wanted to watch a movie and so i put rango into the slot causing Blu-ray to turn on. Btw i dont feel i would need the stand due to my set up and how my ps5 sits
I ain’t getting a disc drive till gta VI comes out 🤣🤣
I asked a question to another RUclipsr before but never got an answer. So the question is has anyone thought of getting up after about 10 mins of play and feeling the bottom left and right panels? They do get 🔥is this an issue? Is this ok?
Okay okay the digital version in the building nice great video again man keep them coming.
Fasho!
That Sony Tax people, yet you say Xbox has it well Sony makes you pay for extra stuff that should Have been in the box.
Digital Edition all the way, i got 1 year and 6 months to save up , because my ps4 still alive and kicking up dust 😂
What one is it's better for you disc drive or the digital version 😎
Here the digital slim version is 350 euro and the disc 500 euro.
The disc drive i can get for 90 euro.
To be sure is the digital version upgradable to disc?
Because most of the games i play will start from ps plus premium.
Yes the ps5 slim digital is upgradable to disc version if you buy the disc drive separately and attach it. U need an Internet connection first time to make it work
how is the digital version going to stand horizontally? with just the 2 plastic stands
I break it down in my video here ruclips.net/video/vqB3sSdWFdw/видео.htmlsi=0ftobAadl3h9DKOh
Had to go back several times to 0:48 and make sure it wasn't my eyes. You go from black to orange lol. Good video though
Clearing up one thing, it’s not a Slim, it’s more of a PS5 Refresh, it’s not officially a Slim edition
I grew up playing playstation.I had the Ps1 to ps4 but couldn't bring myself to get the 5 because of its looks. I went with the xbox x, and I'm now considering the ps5 digital edition for Christmas. It looks a lot better than the other models
Hey CKid. Quick question. I want to store my ps5 slim on a shelf in my tv stand. Will it be fine?
Yea it should be fine...I would just make sure you have the proper stand so it will stand up firm
@@CKidM ok cool. Thanks. I just bought a ps5 slim digital. I wanted to kinda tuck it away. I have the OG disk version that I main. It’s on my desk
Having to register the disc drive on the Slim regardless of the version is a MAJOR drawback and deal breaker for me. WHY SONY!!!!!!!??????? Oh and by the way CKid, it's not 1TB right out of the box, when you take into account the OS. It's a marketing ploy from Sony, always has been. And to be honest, it's not really that much of an increase when you think about it. It's the equivalent of 1 or 2 extra games (depending on the size of the game).
Yea you're right I think you only get around 820GB because of OS software installed. But I'm curious why is registering the disc drive a drawback for you?
@@CKidM Because at the end of the day, why should anyone have to do that? Especially for kids that have just hypothetically got a PS5 Slim for Christmas but suddenly find they have to 'register' the disc drive with their console (whether they get the disc version or the digital and get the drive after the fact). You never had to with the OG PS5 so why should you have to with this one? End of the day CKid, it's a hassle. Yes it may only be a one-time thing, but it's still a hassle. And plus if that drive goes back and you need to get another one, you have to do that all over again, as well as de-register the old/faulty one.
I go with digital
Use price trackers to buy games on sale
If you love a game just buy a case of it without DVD for colection
The disc drive make both of them so ugly. They should have put the disc drive in the black area of the system.
You just earned yourself a subscriber. Thanks for the info. straight to the point with some comedy lol. i was dead when you said i know yall disc warriors down there hahahaha. dope videos bro.
My thing is with the digital will u have to delete games down the line ? 🤔
Love your vids bro ❤
Thanks fam!
Wonder if that stand works for the og ps5
Yes it does
Enjoy your video!!! Keep them coming
Thanks appreciate you watching fam!
First time checking out your channel. Great video!
I got the new digital slim and I love the way it looks compared to any other version
is it stable, everyone keeps saying it wobbles
Yes it's very stable. But I don't recommend standing the slim without the stand because the slim has vents on the bottom for the heat to escape. So without the stand it blocks it off. Not good in case of overheating
@@DaRock86 I was planning to keep it horizontal, which way do you keep it?
@@DaRock86 wouldn’t the disc one have the same vents?
Yes the disc version and digital can stand great without the stand. But wouldn't recommend it. You need space under the console to help it vent. On both versions
I for sure like the flat stomach PS5 way more than the beer belly PS5. Giving it a more attractive sleek look.
I agree
Great info. Thanks
🙏🏾
As an Xbox guy, I went with the ps5 slim digital as I dont own that many Playstation games. However, I still have a ps4 and just found out I can transfer all my digital games from the ps4 to the ps5.
can you download digital games with ps5 slim disc version?
Yes
Just got mine today, i got the digital for $375 with the fortnite bundle and it was only $50 cheaper than the disc version, also why get the disc if it’s just almost exactly the same only with the disc drive, unless if you’re some collector and want to have a display collection of ps5 games then ig spend $50 more for the disc. I personally don’t really care for whichever version but yk i got it cause it was cheaper lol
That’s how they want you to feel about the disc version. They made it so the disk drive doesn’t belong in the design language of the console and is an afterthought (ironically, I like it more because of the quirky asymmetry). The ultimate goal is to ditch the physical media.
“You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy”.
@NatureHawk Is that so? I don’t own a PS5 yet. What exactly do you mean?
@NatureHawk Hmm, not cool. I can’t remember how it was back on PS4. I guess you still have the benefit of reselling disks. And I like to own a physical
game package (mainly on consoles), even though it’s not as convenient.
You never owned anything.
Great video I have PlayStation®5
Digital Edition
- God of War™
Ragnarok bundle from last year
Oh nice! I still want to get my hands on that GOW controller they came out with.
They need to sell the digital bottom plate for us folks who bought the disc
For me, the disc version is thee absolute BEST solution for my needs and wants. Why? Well because i have a TON OF BLU-RAY movie disc's and 3D movies disc for my PSVR. It was a no brainer for me and i love my disc version to death.
yah if you have blu ray def go with the disc version. Personally i don't use any physical cds, so i went with the digital.
Once you beat the game that you're probably not going to play again you can't sell that game. If you buy a game and you don't like that game they might give you a refund they might not..
These are the reasons why by disk and I can also go to a pawn shop and get a game more likely than not than what it's going to be on the PlayStation store digitally even if it's a old game... Every once in awhile they have them for super dirt cheap..
You won't be able to get a refund from Sony for digital games. That is just fact. And even if you could, it would be a miracle. Totally agree with you. Physical disc all the way for me.
@@jordanking7711 yeah I think that's what people like to understand you know they say Yes I get to save all this room I don't have to keep physical copies I don't have to worry about games being lost but I'm be real with you I've made at least 1/3 of the money that I've spent back because I buy it disc.. and for people who really pay attention sometimes digital games are more expensive than disc and I'm not talking about the deluxe or ultimately additions of games..
@@azarfe11Life25 Totally with you 100% on that one. Sony's refund policy is GARBAGE. Steam, no problem (within limits) but Sony, HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!
Ehh to each to own. The server last a long time as 20+ years. Video games preservation is a hot topic these days that greatly benefits past gen console. I can’t see PS5 being on the same catagory.
Additionally There always somebody selling their finished low resale/high replay value game (because life..ya know you get older.. things have changed, etc) and then later rebuy the same game again which wouldn’t even be $ smart. In this case, keep it and preserve it.
@edgaryzen4925 Yeah but that's from multiplayer games I don't play much of those. The biggest reason is The price of games keeps getting higher and and higher, they average about 70 a pop now. greed with theses company's keep getting worse. The c e o of rockstar literally said game should be priced based on how long they take you to beat. Wtf???? Uh no
Can we see the digital version with the supplied plastic stand? I wonder if it makes the console slope upwards. I only ask Becuz I have the slim disc and the pregnant drive levels the console perfectly with the plastic feet.
It has shorter feet so it looks similar enough... the biggest difference is that it becomes a tripod. Like, because it's wider in the back, it sits there on the 4 icons for that corner, floats in the air in the front, and then has the 2 plastic feet. Yes, you can wobble it if you press down on that front corner.
😂😂awesome video love it ! The slim looks incredible especially once the new panels are out. The stand looks nice too
You explained everything thanks bro🔥😃this was the video i was looking for 😊
Dude was going ham in MW
That extra piece for the Stand is for the OG Fat Ps5
All digital is the way to go!
I’m all digital, but still own a disc version PS5
100% agree
You can't resell games that you buy that you don't like or beat.. I can go to a pawn shop and get older games cheaper than what I can get and if I were to buy them digitally every once in awhile PlayStation will have some really good cells but other than that I'm good I'm not saying I never download digital games but the only ones I download are the games that have a very high replay value..
Digital is great for people who don't care about those things..
I have friends that are casual gamers that have bought multiple games over the years that they haven't beat digitally and they can't get any money back from that..
@@azarfe11Life25 For someone who doesn’t care about reselling games or buying used games digital is the way to go. I don’t buy older games. If I do check out older games they are usually free on PlayStation plus premium. The games I really want I buy them when they first release anyway. It’s also a benefit being digital if you have a portal because the game I wanna play doesn’t have to be in the disc drive. Switching out games on the PS5 isn’t my thing.
If something happens to your internet or account, you're screwed. Trust me, I got my account suspended because I canceled a payment thinking I got hacked. Turns out it was a subscription to EA I forgot about. I haven't played in months because my kids broke the TV and I didn't even know I was suspended. Now my account says suspended permanently and I'm hoping I can restore it by paying off the debt. So yeah, digital sucks.
Are you going to do a video on Android 14 which was just released
The systems are the same buywhat you want but hard disk media is not going anywhere
I love the digital one I got the OG digital one
The PS5 with a Disc Drive is just a bundled PS5 Digital with a Disc Drive.
Lol.
You get more for your money.
It's basically like Xbox 360 days, Get one basic with nothing or bundled with a drive.
I'm just happy they gave us the options of Disc drives still! : )!
I own all Disc Games, i don't do digital because my internet blows. xD!
Also, love the content, bro!
Appreciate you fam!
Dont umderstand why have to register the drive as only reading data on a disc.
I ALMOST went for the digital ps5
I bought the disk ps5 at the last minute but I will say this
I don't regret buying it!
Dang Dogg.... That stand got some Sony drip action!!!
In these current times, these consoles are expensive 😔
Can't believe he made 15 minutes video on disc or digital
Did you watch it though?
This looks better than the original ps5
I agree
I agree from the side but from the front the disc one looks kinda goofy with the drive on the side and the digital one is really slim so I guess it lives up to the name lol
Hello, I'm asking because I don't know. I live in Turkey. I bought a PS5 slim abroad. I changed the console language to Turkish, but at the first startup, a message appears in English (see important health and safety warnings in the settings menu). There is no warning. Do you think this is a problem?
No, they just started including that message as a default. You’re all good, enjoy!
Can't wait for the slim digital PS5 pro later this year!
Get a cooling stand got mine off Amazon great addition to the ps5 10 bucks more then the actual stand
That's a smart move
