How does the PS5 look to you aesthetically in person compared to the initial pictures? (Poll)

I can only imagine it will look even worse when it's dirty / dusty, and the materials get old.
It looks like a messed-up binder.I thought it looked fine in the pictures, but it looks awful lying on it's side in my entertainment center.
I love modern aesthetics so it's perfect for me and my setup. It def looks better vertically vs horizontally.
I chose option 3, because I thought it looked ugly when I originally saw it but in person and especially on my media center, I think it looks fine now. It's growing on me. Part of the reason for this is that it isn't as stark white as I thought it was going to be. It's more of a light grey, which I think looks a lot better IMO. Not a big fan of the shiny black part, but overall it looks solid. I wouldn't say WOWOWOWOW amazing, but solid for sure. FYI- I have mine set horizontally because fuck that monstrosity standing upright. lol
Sadly haven't gotten able to grab one -- but the digital version is growing on me a little.
When I do get my hand on one I was strongly looking into painting the fins black 3.0.
That said I think another reason why im digging the digital besides getting rid of that growth on its side is it actually reminds me a bit of the xbox 360.

It's huge and ugly. The glossy black is a magnet for hair and dust. Love the controller though.
I thought it always looked ugly...but at least I thought it was tall and thin...
In person? It's not only tall, but it's also a lot fatter than the pictures made it appear. Still haven't seen a digital edition in the wild though, which is the only version I will be purchasing.

It towers over everything my small room. It appeared big in pictures but in real life it's a damn behemoth.
I'm more concerned about the speaker blocking part of your sceeenI thought it looked fine in the pictures, but it looks awful lying on it's side in my entertainment center.
The speaker only blocks a small part of the bezel. It only looks like that when you see it from a lower angle.
and the snakes wedding behind the TV. Get a cable tie and pull all them together and they will disappear behind the speaker.
It's not great looking that's for sure.
It would probably be so much more better looking if it didn't have those gigantic white wings. I'd be interested to see how the PS5 looks with more flush side panels. In black of course.

It looks like shit and I cant believe I had to actually screw the base in
The controller looks cool though

Hehe. I know it's a bit messy.
Next time I'll crop the picture. :)
It looks worse in person, as it's fucking huge. I better not ever hear a peep out of this thing.
At the very least they'll have more hard drive.
Anyway, your point is valid but that isn't the deciding factor, the Pro consoles sold well so they will have the incentive to find ways to make and sell new ones.
having it on it's side in a black tv stand actually makes it look better than i thought and also smaller than i was expecting. i think having the black tv stand makes the system seem smaller because the middle black part blends in with everything else and then you really only see 2 cool white blades.
The disc version looks aweful horizontal. It doesn't match the rest of the room at all and it would be fine if it was vertical but I just have this fat futuristic log.
It's... pretty something to look at. In pictures I was kinda into it, but the size is kind of comical in a way. Definitely doesnt feel "sexy" in my media center.
If you grabbed its Z axis and squished it by 50-60%. It might look slick.

Just got mine about 20 minutes ago and hooked it up. It still looks just awful.
When you place it horizontally, it creates this optical effect where it looks like the bottom part of the "collar" is bigger and drooping lower than the top half. The thing is also fucking huge, and as far as I can tell, the stand in horizontal orientation doesn't actually lock into anything? So if you slide the console around, the stand might not come with it?
On the bright side, the DualSense feels great, and looks a lot better than I thought it would from renders and videos. It has that solid "heft" the Xbox Elite controllers do, that make them feel premium. I prefer the stick layout of the Xbox controller, but I can already tell this will be my favourite PS controller.

I think I somehow hate it more in person lol. It just clashes so much with the rest of my apartment.
I don't think it'd be so bad if I literally built around it but uhh, that's not happening.

I mean the boring ass black box pretty much vanishes in a lot of people's setups. I rather boring, clean and simple than weird flashy and ugly.
The design of the Space Vulva seems more ridiculous every time I look at it. If anything, it at least grabs the attention of anyone who looks at it.
I'm pretty sure that the slim version will tone down the weirdness and its size to something with more lasting appeal.

Modern aesthetic is defined by neutral, clean lines, with minimal flourish. Clean lines over curves. Neutral colors. An absence of garish boldness and synthetic embellishments.
The PS5 is practically the opposite of that. It's faux-futuristic. It's gaudy and over-designed. It's what a 5th grader drew in their notebook in 2002, imagining what a Playstation in 2020 would look like.
Looking at this thing now under my tv, man it looks weird like an Alienware PC with RGB lights. My GFs series S is right next to it, and just looks great in white compared to this thing. I really want some matte black plates for the PS5 to hide it more
That's disappointing to read. After the cheap plastic used in the PS4 I had hoped Sony would start to care about the fit and finish of their consoles again.
This precisely.
The only thing I like about the visual design, now that I have it, is it affects a building with a sodium-vapor street lamp when in standby.
Plot twist you will like the redesign even less
I'm not a fan of how it looks either. I got the disc version. IMO it looks worse of the two
