    When I bought my PS5 a few months ago I considered waiting for a PS5 Slim in the hopes that it would be less fuckin ugly. Glad I didn’t wait, because they managed to make it worse by basically slapping the disc drive to the side.

    They look… the same to me. Any comparison photos?

    Honestly I like the look of the consoles however the pricing is incredibly stupid imo. 450 for diskless is pointless when the disked model is 500. 50$ doesn’t seem like much of an incentive to save by going diskless. The better option would’ve been to charge 400 for diskless and then 100 for the drive rather than 80.

      The new PS5 has been reduced in volume by more than 30%, and weight by 18% and 24% compared to the previous models. There are four separate cover panels, with the top portion in a glossy look, while the bottom remains in matte.

      Hm…I mean, I’m not sure I’d call it a “new look”, but I suppose there are some changes.

    Still looks like an air purifier / conditioner unfortunately.

    I was holding off with upgrading my PS4 Pro with SSD but when I saw new PS5 leaks I went with XSX. Sorry, that thing has no place in an adult living room lol.

      Yeah, why they have to make it so curvy in the first place? And then they have to add a stupid extra base just to get it to not roll around. Too many designers in the kitchen IMHO.

      I also like making dumb decisions based purely off of something or someone’s looks

        I’ll take the bait. I consider both consoles evenly matched but from the perspective of Sony diehard it’s quite attractive value proposition:

        • I don’t care about first party exclusives because I’ve played enough Naughty Dog games by now. Third party ones will come eventually as always.

        • I didn’t own any Xbox consoles up until now so it’s a treasure trove thanks to backwards compatibility. Especially when plenty of X360 games run 4k60.

        • Game Pass is cool although new Microsoft games seem to be released in quite barebone state.

        • The console itself can be quite cheap where I live, got an XSX bundle with Diablo 4 for ~$450. Game Pass Ultimate with Live Gold tricks is like ~$70 for 2 years. If you want to get really cheap, region change to Turkey, buy rechargeable Visa and enjoy everything being -50% off all the time.

          Yeah those are all solid reasons to buy then. I agree with you fully.

          I prefer the curves though and that’s where my argument ends so you win lol
