PS5 and Xbox Series X|S side by side

That the behind is open doesn't really matter though. The series X (30.1cm) is as tall as the PS4 pro (29.5cm), intakes from the bottom and rear vents and exhausts on the top vents. I reckon to give both the intake and exhaust any kind of space you'll probably get only about 2-3cm or 1" on each side. That's preetty limited imo.
Unless you put it with the top/bottom vents facing forward :P
The design of the Xbosx looks like a trash can under my desk in my office or just a standard subwoofer in random home. PS5 on the other hand, looks like a from outer space, futuristic and classy. The posture has no big meaning, but this is how I feel when I look at the pictures.
I think both of these dumbass things look cool. I really appreciate both designs; much prefer weird shit over the usual VCR look. My only complain is the Series X seems very fingerprint-y, but I'm just going to be really careful taking mine out of the box and setting it up and then I'll never touch the thing again :P
Versus the Original Xbox and Original Xbox One.
Consoles everyone says are too big......but the PS5 is just the right size.
Come on guys.

Classy is not the word I'd use to describe the PS5's design lol. Technological, futuristic and eye catching perhaps, but not exactly classy, not with this two tone colour scheme anyway.

If you have a cat you know this is going to happen...
Haha! I needed this. Love it :D (prob not good for the ps5 though)
This last one is a shop, just incase anyone thought it was real.
Surely this only applies to the early units that got sent out right?
I'm not complaining necessarily, I'm just kind of floored that they thought this was a good design. The average consumer may have trouble installing the SSD, especially younger kids and non tech savvy adults. Flipping the stand is definitely easier than the SSD, but the idea that people will need an instruction manual to go from vertical to horizontal is just kind of mind boggling especially when you look at the PlayStation past designs.
No. Unboxing is going on live now

No, definitely not. The playstation is the "eco-aware" packaging for an electronics product manufactured in and shipped from China, which I thought was pretty much the default these days. MS packaging is quite surprising.
The series S actually also has similar eco friendly packaging to PS5 it seems.
I'm absolutely torn on the design. Before we saw the physical units in real life environments I always thought the Digital looked best. Now that we've seen them, I think the Disc version looks best. The digital looks too thin and it does really look like a giant router.
I think I'm gonna go with the Disc version in the end, it may be a good idea at least so I can get discounted games down the line, even though I was 90% digital throughout the PS4.

It really doesn't matter, most people will put it horizontally and call it a day as that's how it fits in most people's set ups. The average consumer is not upgrading the storage at all, and this solution is significantly preferable to all alternatives.
Damn, what a chonker dat PS5 box is! But I think both boxes have nice designs tbh. Who's the creator btw? Never seen her before!
On the PS4 there is nothing hanging over the drive slot so it is easy to insert a disc. With the PS5 it looks like the drive is recessed quite a bit which I imagine will make it harder to get a disc in, especially if you have the console low to the ground.
just looking at that, I'd say it's Series X packaging that is more eco friendly.
The photoshopped XSX is larger than the XSX behind the TV 🤔Unfortunately, it's a problem for XSX owners as well.
As someone whom had quite a few OG Xbox (XBMC with soft mod, anyone?) that really puts some perspective to it... that is insanely large...Versus the Original Xbox and Original Xbox One.

It used to be the PS3 Super Slim but the PS5 is now the ugliest console they've ever made.
Is it that different? The sides the console sits in are different and the wrapper of the console is abit different but thats it.
The protection around the S is made of cardboard, I thought.
Yeah thats what i mean with the sides. Dont think its that different. Guess it was abit of cost saving that helped the overall price.
Oh, right. Well, I just see that as a nice step up. All of that is recyclable, where the stuff used for the X isn't. Just curious why they didn't do the same thing. Maybe they couldn't ensure the X's safety, given it's weight with just cardboard?
