it looks like a fan made it lol. Idk how to feel about it but I guess it will grow on me. The most interesting thing is the discless version i suppose. IDK how I'm going to fit these new consoles on my entertainment center.

Jimbo likes to do different things it seems.... i am fine with 1 out of 5 consoles being white.

This console is going to look bad anywhere I put it. It seems to be impossible to clean the dust and well...

Will wait for a revision. This is easily one of the most unpleasant pieces of hardware to look at ever.

I'm not really a fan of the design to be honest. I think I will get used to it though. Looks like an alien device.

Yeah I'm not a fan.
The PS4 was a beautiful machine when revealed, but this.... looks like a weird overdesigned router.

I guess it won't matter in the end, I'll get used to it, but I'm going to have a tiny black fridge and a curvy fat router under my TV in the future.

2 things...
A. Does this piss off retailers?
B. Was this done to counter the Lockhart imminent reveail? Maybe the digital edition has bigger ssd and cost the same or same storage but $50-100 less?

If it was all black it wouldn't stand out as much. Must be for the cooling idk. Wtf at digital edition? At best it cuts $20-$30 off the BOM, kinda shocking to go with it imo. Was hoping for $399 Hail Mary but that's out the door, probably $449 Digital and $499 regular

Ehhh... not too impressed, especially since I want the disc drive version.
Tho I'll buy it for the games anyway, regardless of what it looks.

Not for me. But I'm definitely the sort of person that prefers a horizontal console.

That looks so fucking bad lol I couldn't stop laughing. The digital PS5 is less bad I guess, as it doesnt have that cancerous-looking disc drive bulge.

I wish Sony would just design a box. I hated the slanted parts of the PS4/ps4 pro and I don't know why pieces of plastic are hanging off the ps5. It makes it harder to hold and carry the system.

Don't like it. Didn't like the controller design and they carried that over the console itself.

Looks like the routers companies try to make hi-tech looking to make people think it has more features.
