Look at how much airflow the PS5 actually has. Of course it would shut down.
Can't breathe......halp.

Well the concern for me would be why does it have that message anway?. I mean do the current gen consoles have a message like that?, i honestly dont know.

Why would Sony design their kiosks that way if "of course it would shut down"?Look at how much airflow the PS5 actually has. Of course it would shut down.
It probably has some ventilation, you really don't need much...
Yes.

One would think Sony would've designed the Kiosk appropriately to allow enough airflow in to not let this happen though..

If that is a Sony designed kiosk someone should loose their job - must be the store-chain's anti-theft crew that designed that plexi-aquarium.

Probably behind, but in this pic, they have the kiosk “glued” to the wall
edit: It’s not only the airflow, there is a led behind the console, generating more heat

People here are assuming that Sony designs the kiosk where most likely it's the store. The store has no obligation to keep the console in perfect condition.

Yeah - just saw the additional pictures - very weird that they'd put the console in such an enclosed space... because.. well - HEAT *is* a thing..

These things are 100% designed by Sony. That's how branded retail kiosks work in general and they are super picky about making sure stores don't change them.
And it's what all PS4 kisosks basically look like too.. and every other console kiosk.. ever lol

YOU HAVE A KENSINGTON LOCK!!! WHY THE UNNECESSARY GLASS COFFIN???Look at how much airflow the PS5 actually has. Of course it would shut down.

All drives should work out the box though, at least for quick cold storage that you can transfer games from. I would at least like to play PS4 games off of it or temp storage for PS5 games.

Yup they do.

Well agreed on the store obligation - However - I'd expect Sony marketing would certainly be engaged and in charge of signing off on anything related to their brand, including displays and kiosks.

You can do that with any usb connected drive (HDD, SSD, nvme).
The internal expansion bay is what needs an approved nvme m.2 pcie gen 4 SSD, for which we will just have to wait for the list .

Yes, my PS4 Pro has started overheating when staying too long on Menu UI since a few weeks ago, and PS4 Pro has a similar message on a blue screen (with or without stopping the console, depending on the temperature). The thermal paste probably turned bad, the fan is clean.
Doesn't happen outside of menu UI though (fan doesn't run on menu UI for some reason), so not a big deal.

There is no air intake in the picture - zero. There is no chance that was intended if Sony did the box - the store must have done some sort of modification.
That sounds strange. I think you have a problem with your fan, maybe the fan is failing to low rpm

Every single PS4 kiosk has a similar plastic shell.. and they all have the exact same plastic shell.
This was provided by Sony. Companies do not allow modifications to this sort of thing; it's in the agreement for you to get the kiosk in the first place.
Company reps go around to stores to make sure they are compliant and everything.

Every console has that it's not new. Even recently some XSX consoles got that message.
And they had the same problems with the PS4's.
Have fun with the concern though.
Having set up those kiosk before. We don't always follow their exact documents. It's kinda silly (since ya know the directions are in the paperwork), that and well they never have any breathing room ever. Obviously concern trolling is already kicking up, but realistically this is just a case of a store doing a half assed setup in a tight space. It represents only the outcome of if you put your system in a closed box. Take it how you want, but no reason to really panic based on this.

I'm not concerned.
PS5s are going to overheat some time.. just like every electronic device ever.
Sony designs their own kiosks though.. that's just how retail kisosk work.... I'm just pointing out facts. Everyone hear just collectively forgot about every console kiosk they've ever seen because they all have that plastic shell lol

oh dear...this is an official PS5 kiosk setup...
Remember all that concern trolling about Series X getting hot? Good times.

We are going to have people here soon enough start arguing that Xbox has better kiosks than PlayStation. It was already packaging before this. Before that it was a fucking screwdriver. Hate to see it.
It's pretty ridiculous tbh. I think we are expecting our setups at work today or by Tuesday. But I can pretty much guarantee (because this is a norm) that the console on display for both consoles will have to be replaced monthly or bi-monthly.

It's funny how an Xbox fan in Australia (Which is in lockdown) found a display PS5 and it managed to be the only one to overheat so far anywhere.... there are many things about this story that do not add up.
The list of FUD being spread is endless and pathetic, how many times do these things have to be disproved?

Okay. You think it should run at low speed on the menu UI ?
When I open the console, everything looks normal, fan is clean and rotates perfectly, so I don't know. I thought it was the thermal paste, but PS5 is coming soon anyway. ^^

Maybe there's a lot less traffic to amortize for XSX ?

lol.. jesus... just from overheating issues or over-use in general?
Both, these things practically never get turned off. Most stores have a networks obviously to turn certain power supplies off. But normally just for lights. TVs, PCs and Consoles etc are never really attached to a circuit.

It's definitely NOT an official Sony kiosk, they would definitely never make such a stupid mistake with airflow.

Imagine being constantly turned on and overheating constantly for a month straight. Sounds like a broken console to me.

Oh man, hoping to see some heat/temperature tests before PS5 launches.I'm mildly curious

You should see how often we have to replace TV's lol. Just last week LG came in and broke our CX display.

Oh Bryank lol. Maybe it was just the casing, and the console had been on for hours. Not everything is Xbot 'boogeymen' coming for ya.

If I was locked in a floodlit airless box in Australia, I'd probably show that error message in my own death evacuated bowel mess.
That or be David Blaine, not that there's a great deal of difference.
