Anyone else more excited for the PS5 Slim?

[Rex Dart: Eskimo Spy]

Let's face it, the V looks like a beast. It's big, the design is loud (visually), it looks like something guys in Miami would be snorting cocaine off of in the late 80's.
Between the footprint, price and available launch content, is anyone else much more interested to see what the inevitable streamlining will look like 1-2 years from now?

 

[super-famicom]

I'm not getting a PS5 at launch, so I would be interested in its next revision or a slim model for sure.

 

[Hanbei]

I hope you're not in a hurry, then.

 

[Crayon]

Nah. I'm more excited for the one that's out in a month lol.

And I like the design because fun is allowed in my house.

 

[Deleted member 11985]

I hate the look of both the console and the controller. But I've rationalized it to myself that I'll trade-in when the slim is released, and I'll probably have bought a new controller with a different color scheme by then.

 

[Guru Meditation]

Getting a PS5 fat but will definitely trade in for the slim when it's available. Even the current design would look much better if it was just smaller.

 

[StarskySilvers]

I'm not gonna wait 2-3 years to play games like Demon's Souls Remake, Ratchet, and God of War. But I will definitely get a PS5 Pro if one comes out

 

[Leonine]

If a slim version happens sometime in the future, I'll probably just end up trading the OG.

 

[alr1ght]

PS5 is the first console I wouldn't buy solely due to how it looks. I can maybe see a black one, but I'll most likely wait for a slim model.

 

[Nameless]

Unless my entertainment set-up starts shrinking, I couldn't possibly care less about the size. It's certainly not something worth denying myself for years over.

 

[Ryuelli]

I'm excited for any potential redesign that looks nowhere near as horrific as the current iteration. I genuinely don't want to buy one because I hate how it looks, it's design is that unappealing to me.

 

[Nostradamus]

I don't care about the size as long as it's quiet. I see no reason waiting.

 

[Convasse]

I'll trade up the OG for a black slim, but I no longer care about how it looks. It doesn't look great to me, but as long as it functions right, I'm good.

agreed, it's offensively ugly

i will wait for ps5 pro or possibly a slim depending on what exclusives i really want to play over the next few years

 

[Deleted member 11008]

Yes.

 

[fixurheartordie]

I'm well passed the "I need every hardware revision" point in my life but I've definitely thought about what a PS5 slim might look like more than I did with the PS4 leading up to the its launch.

 

[Jedi2016]

Nah, I'm holding out for PS6.

 

[TheGhost]

With Spider-Man and horizon being cross gen it makes the wait for the slim a bit easier.

Who am I kidding I'm just waiting for a digital to be in stock.

 

[Playboi Carti]

1-2 years? More like 3 years minimum

 

[MrFox]

Nah we want that quintuple right now.

 

[falconhoof17]

I certainly am, I was originally planning to get a PS5 on or close to launch but that machine is disgusting and I don't want one in my livingroom. I'm getting an XSS for now, I'll get a PS5 eventually for the exclusives but the only way I'd consider the original machine is if neither the slim nor pro PS5 have an option with a disc drive.

 

[Deleted member 1839]

It honestly looks like some weird artisan stuff I would find at a furniture store.

I'm very interested to see how a Pro and Slim model will look.

 

[Fawz]

I'm very reluctantly getting a launch PS5 to play the PS4 games I meant to get around to, I hate the Size & Shape and the eyesore White color. The moment there's a Black/Blue version or a Slim/Pro model I'll look to swap mine for it. Hopefully there'll be a viable alternative before the end of 2021

 

[DarthWalden]

Yup... I'd way rather jump into the PS5 half way through the generation when the console isn't a big ugly monster and a lot of the exclusive games I want to play are 75% off.

 

[Dunlop]

That's my target. Gamepass to start and maybe a ps5 slim if the library is good enough to justify $90 + tax purchases (Canada) down the line

 

[Norgishchef]

I wish it was bigger. More surface area means friends can do lines with you at the same time. In fact just make it a table with a glass top.

 

[arrado]

I'm buying the PS5 at launch and already looking forward to a PS5 Pro in 3-4 years.

 

[HellofaMouse]

Half that thing is a giant heatsink. I dont know if i want a slim console with worse cooling

 

[RedHeat]

If the PS4 is any indication people are gonna be disappointed when they find out a slim or a pro aren't gonna abe dramatically different

 

[Loud Wrong]

Will get the slim day 1 and happily get rid of the current monstrosity, but there's no way I'm passing on the current one and waiting for the slim.

 

[Shark]

Am I more excited in a hypothetical revision that doesn't exist than the console that does exist and releases in a month? Nope.

 

[almutama]

I would be, but it likely won't release without a pro offering, so I probably wouldn't buy it over the eventual pro model. I hope it fares better than the uneven stack design of the PS4 slim. That thing does not look good at all.

 

[iag]

Will need to wait for AMD to port Zen2/RDNA2 to 5nm for this to happen?

 

[thecaseace]

PS5 is the first console I wouldn't buy solely due to how it looks. I can maybe see a black one, but I'll most likely wait for a slim model.

Worth remembering that custom side panels will be fabricated fairly soon after launch.

I'd expect black side panels readily available before March next year

 

[Kittenz]

I'm skeptical about how "slim" either the Series X or PS5 is going to get, given the heat generated and the size of the cooling/fans/heat sinks, etc.

Let's go with PS5 "less fat" and Series X "somewhat less bulky."

Plus I think the revisions are more likely to be upgrades in power vs. downsizes in form factor. It's been said many times in many ways, but it bears repeating yet again. This generation will likely NOT be following the earlier generational patterns.

The Pro/One X model seems much more the route, ala iPhone 11 to iPhone 12. "Xbox Series X (2023- latest model)" listing on Amazon is more likely than Series X slim, imo. Especially Xbox as the Series S will get bumped up too. The whole point of them being "Series" is that there will be revisions coming. But as you up the power, can you downsize the form factor? Maybe slightly?

 

[Dan Thunder]

"1-2 years"?!

 

[Iori Fuyusaka]

I'm excited for the one that actually exists.

 

[Lothars]

Nope I will get a ps5 pro if they bring that out but the PS5 looks awesome, I really don't get the people that are saying it looks terrible. it's one of the nicest console designs in a long time.

 

[Doc Cottle]

Node shrinks not currently looking financially viable based on current trends.
1-2 years? You spent too much time in Miami snorting that coke I reckon.

 

[André]

Thanks to Sony's announcement of increased game prices, I revised my plans and now I'll go 2-3 years without a PS5. I'll focus on clearing up my gigantic PS4 backlog until then. Hopefully by then a PS5 Slim or Pro is available, and I'll also be able to get most of PS5's games at discounted prices. Seems like a clear win strategy (in my particular case).

 

[citrusred]

No but I'll probably be more likely to buy one by then.

 

[kamineko]

It's ugly, but I wouldn't hang my ps4 on a wall either

it's going in the entertainment console anyway

so no

 

[Pein]

I like that its big as hell lol.

 

[AndrewDean84]

I'm not getting a PS5 at launch, so I would be interested in its next revision or a slim model for sure.

Click to shrink...

Same.

 

[SpitShine]

Remove the panels.

Bingo, you have a PS5 slim.

 

[Cliff Steele]

True beauty comes from the inside. It may look ugly but underneath that cheap look, it's sexy as hell.

 

[offshore]

You're gonna be waiting years.

 

[hypostatic]

PS5 is the first console I wouldn't buy solely due to how it looks. I can maybe see a black one, but I'll most likely wait for a slim model.

Click to shrink...

Same here. I'm holding off until there's a revision, or at least a black version. I can't stand how the console and controller look.

 

[Cess007]

This gen, I was fine with keeping my OG PS4 for the whole generation, I need to see this gen PS5 Slim, but if it's a big difference I may be tempted to get it and trade my OG PS5.

 

[Deleted member 50232]

No as it won't be out for like three years.

This thing sits under my TV, i don't really care how big it is tbh.
