Right, but when the xbox 360 did it, it was fine. PS2 gets called the greatest console of time, but it too did not come with vertical stand. Gamer standards are awful.
@@marioricardo7934 Case and point. The PS2 did not require a stand for either orientation. The base was plenty wide enough to be sturdy. The 360 had one variation that had face plates. As opposed to the multiple PS5 variations that are not interchangeable. Did I simplify it enough for you bud?

Like when I touch it, I don't think I would be able to ball it up, it's pretty firm. I'm not expert tho, so maybe it was putty and for some reason it had hardened more than it should have.

@@jrob0021 Seems like Its essentially sonys version of thermal pads i see them all the time in GPUs used to cool the VRMs , most of the time its safe to just leave it be but if its ripped to much you may need to replace bits of it but its a simple process just look up a GPU teardown or thermal pad replacement videos for graphic cards and you will get an idea of it.
11:36 (correct me if I'm wrong) I think that's called Thermal Putty, new kind of paste that can be use on ram modules (or other SMD components) found on later gen of laptops or GPUs. replacing the use of thermal pads
Ppl just dont get that this isnt gonna make waves compared so say the slim or the og ps5..i dont understand why so many are butthurt tho. Its a mid upgrade not a whole new overhaul. Now the little legs couldve been better, agreed. But max everything out on it and notice thinga a bit better. This system is for anyone whos never had a ps5 and wanted the extra power, if u will. Otherwise dont get it, wait another 4 years till the ps6 comes out.
I hope Sony goes back to basics style-wise with the PS6. The PS5, especially the slim and pro models are ugly AF. Placed horizontal with those crappy little clear plastic feet it just looks ridiculous.
I was so excited back in 2020 hoping the PS5 would be a refined continuation of the PS4, PS4 Pro aesthetics and when the reveal came out and it looked like a mid 2000s router I literally shouted at my "NOOOOOooo!" screen. Four years later it hasn't grown on me, still hideous.
I think they look cool, but I still prefer last gen console designs (series s is fine but ps5 and xbox series x are hard to fit in my entertainment center 😭🙏)
Jacob's definition of getting screwed: He bought something before it was due out, ignored what the seller told him about the extra shipping cost, and then, after getting it the next day and it being 100% working, complained and tried to extort money from the seller. Plus, he tore it apart, ripped off the warranty label, and messed up an internal ribbon cable. Now, he is threatening to send it back. He's already milked two videos out of it and is setting up for a third.
The amount of stuff he complains about is absurd to me. Who cares what the inside of the console looks like. The console isn't meant to be taken apart.
the big gaps are for the intake fans on either side to get unobstructed air intake and to keep accustics down from fast moving air passing over fins. its functional
I picked up the Pro from Best Buy today and the outer tape on my box was also already cut. Inside contents were untouched though as far as I could tell.
The ps5 just gets downgraded every time, the phat ps5 was a nice premium console that came with everthing you needed like an actual usable stand for the console, just gets worse everytime.
Of course, Sony doesn't care about you. What corporation is? They are in business to maximize profits which is why the PS5 Slim is $500 and the the Pro is $700. This is the monster we as gamers have created, helping Sony to get to number 1 the last 5 generations with little competition.
I work for a retailer, for some reason we got the pro consoles in like 3 weeks before launch, they probably came in this persons workplace and he bought them
I don’t understand how people are just completely ok with the fact that this seller sent a ps5 with no shipping box, which resulted in the box taking significant damage, along with the “new” ps5 literally being USED. How are people missing this 😂 it’s so clear the seller is screwing me. And i mea yeah, Sony is kinda screwing us all as well with the whole price, no disc drive, wrong sized plates, and console stand as well. So yeah the console worked, but how are we completely glossing over the very very clear other issues?
@jrob0021 exactly, Idk about you or anyone else but as soon as I get so.ethung shipped and it's poor packaged or the packaging is damaged, I get mix feels. makes me feel like it doesn't work

I mostly want to see if you can put it back together now and run it lol. Also why would they want to make interchangeable plates? It's all just white OEM boring crap. Did you want to upgrade to another white? And I would never expect to see a difference on a PC monitor. It's just too small. I have a gaming monitor too and my cheap 4K TV makes things look way better
Lol why didn't you just preorder it? They weren't running out lmao. Also how did you already get it if it's not released? How early did the other person get it lol
I'm not a PlayStation guy, so this is a legitimate question. What is the point of getting the digital addition console and then adding a disc drive back to it? Why not just get the slim that already has a drive in the first place? I mean, you can still play digital games on the slim right?
@jrob0021 the metal sheets covering the motherboard came off really rough. And what was that ribbon that possibly damaged after you opened the console?
@@scottshep8978 the ribbon cable I screwed up on, but it's fine. The metal sheets were rough because that crap was like cemented down. Never had that issue before taking apart a ps5, so not sure what the issue was
It looks like the Pro will be just as bad as the 3 Phat models and the Slim, all I see on Right to Repair channels, several of them, one after another on a daily basis, is the PS5 being repaired, Switch is a close second, then the Series X and then S.
Letting aside the whole eBay thing here, this thing has no reason to even exist in my mind. Overpriced for minimal technical improvements and not even a disc drive. If they, at least, had changed the design as well... To me, the PS5 (doesn't matter which) is still one of the ugliest consoles I've ever seen. The curvy design is also a waste of space. The Xbox Series X might be an oversized block but it's more aesthetic than the PS5, even though that's probably a question of taste. I just can't stand so-called modern designs.
I already know why I would never buy something like that on eBay from scalpers🤨🙄 The fact that something like this was sent at all is a bottomless impudence🤬
That "blue stuff" is to protect the capacitors from overheating and or shorting because its in close contact with metal. PS5 Pro is a waste of money for 20% ish more power, I'd rather wait for the PS6 like everyone with sense.
