Also confirmed that those white plates can be easily swapped out for black.

I'm gonna edit with:

Let's find out if that disc edition drive cover can be swapped too. For full blackout. Digital is good either way.

Good design, cost efficient and wide heat sink is smart for the shape, and liquid metal looks cool.

Also dust collectors is a nice touch, very thoughtful.

Thought design for the fan is genius, it will be much more performant and make it nice and cool and quiet, much higher volume of air pushed vs speed. Far superior to standard fans.

The embedded bay for external SSD is correct way to do this, SSD is not a USB stick people.

Well I guess no vapor chamber means they could lower the costs quiet a bit with that liquid metal cooling. Hope it doesn't impact the longevity of the console.
meta liquid age and cool very well.
Doesn't look like there's a way to upgrade the SSD.

This isn't a standard SSD port meaning IF this is the place to upgrade the HDD it'd be a proprietary drive like the XSX:

at contrary and it's even more than probable you can fit ssd coming with their own heat-sink in there.

My only gripe for the first generation PS5 is the mandatory stand needed for horizontal use. I can't believe they went that route.

I'll still get one in 2021 once they become available easier, but I hate the thought of that stand.
 
I was very impressed seeing how they laid out the system's internal set up. That heatsink is a beast. I love these videos. They also show me how to open it to clear out the dust.
 
All I saw was a cake filled with lots of tiny cakes...


Nice see the expasion ssd slot, now just need drives to use.
 
I don't see a port to plug in the PS4 camera. Do they expect me to buy a PS5 camera?

Yes, PlayStation Camera will work with PS5 for playing supported PS VR games. It will require a PlayStation Camera adaptor that will be provided at no additional cost to PS VR users. More details on how to get the adaptor will be announced at a later date.
 
Doesn't exude confidence to so tightly control everything.
Oh who gives a fuck, i vastly prefer the dead pan serious demise of the jap guy instead of a loud annoying youtuber with a fucking retarded open mouth expression in the thumbnail.

you are gonna have your "trusted" inside look from "trusted" youtubers when sony is gonna send ps5 to these "trusted" people.
