A PS5 Overheated in an in-store kiosk. PSA, don’t keep your PS5 in a small glass case

[Technesis]

Same thing happened with the PS4.

There's literally no airflow, it's all closed.

That beast is towering over the TV.

These are the times I'm glad I decided against a kiosk in my bedroom.

 

[chandoog]

[HardRojo]

Someone's actually gonna use this as evidence of something...

 

[Thugnificent]

Welp... who wants my preorder? Jk

Less than 2 minutes.

I think they were saying that sentiment would spread as news lol

 

[VariantX]

The console is like 95% fans/and exhaust ports and they defeat the purpose of all that by stuffing it inside of a non-ventilated box. Whomever designed that enclosure is smart.

 

[madridi-gh]

 

[TitanicFall]

Whoever designed that kiosk didn't think it through.

 

[Lamiafusion]

Preorder fucking canceled. Ignorant fucks are back as Microsoft is making all the right moves.

lol this is sarcasm, right?

 

[zombiejames]

There's literally zero ventilation there.

 

[Mollymauk]

Wow, Xbox cooling is incredible

 

[Don Dada]

Yeah not unexpected. Heat rises. I hope DF whips out the temperature gun.

Let's hope no journalists burn their hands with it.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

Why is this poor boy being caged like this

 

[EssBeeVee]

Who tf thought that would be a good idea? Anything would overheat in that.

didn't want people stealing the panels off the ps5

 

[Kaswa101]

lol this is sarcasm, right?

I honestly can't tell anymore lol

Era gonna Era

 

[Darryl M R]

We hotboxing our PS5s now?

 

[YuriLowell]

Oh man, I can't wait for this to spread like its gospel.
Console wars are so stupid.

 

[MysticGon]

Glad to see the temperature sensors are working.

 

[The Shape]

Oof, that thread title almost gave me a heart attack, until I saw that picture that is.

 

[AGoodODST]

I didn't know humanity had mastered the building of structures big enough to contain a PS5 yet.

Seriously though, why in earth would you enclose ANY console in a space that small? Just asking for trouble.

 

[Loxley]

Jesus that's like putting an elephant in a fishbowl.

 

[Deleted member 864]

This thread is gonna be way longer than it should be.

There's like zero ventilation in there.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Whoever designed that enclosure literally only had a straight edge. What are holes?

LOL

 

[MrFox]

lol this is sarcasm, right?

Impossible to tell nowadays. It should be mandatory to use /s

 

[Forearm_Star]

Make the console huge to constantly vent heat.
Display in enclosed case so it overheats
??????
Profit

I'm pretty sure the designer didn't intend to have the one in the box plugged in. (Is it definitely that one plugged in?)

 

[Nazgûl]

too sexy

 

[Fantastical]

Lol why would you do that

 

[Mass Effect]

why... just why?

Who thought that was a good idea?

 

[Camells]

I feel Concerned™

[Bedameister]

It's like snow white in her glass coffin and it's your job as a GAMER to kiss her back to life

 

[What-ok]

SMH

 

[JT60564]

Best Buy just shot themselves in the foot!

 

[OtakuCoder]

Damn, guess my plan of sealing my PS5 inside an airtight plastic enclosure isn't gonna fly. I'll just have to fall back to wrapping it in a carpet.

 

[Haribokart]

That's a big machine in a VERY small box.

Jesus, poor PS5! Good sign that It is not melting enclosed this way.

 

[MeepMerp]

Damn that is one hot console.

 

[Madjoki]

Hot Box Testing Failed ◯

 

[Izzard]

Jesus Christ I bought a display case exactly like this and only now do I find out it's a cause for concern?! I searched everywhere and found nothing that said this case wasn't compatible with PS5! Dumb move Sony.
