How...why...wtf?
gonna go with dollar store quality. I stripped mine too.Already a stripped screw? Either you didnt do it right or the screws they used are dollar store quality.
I wouldn't say the PS5 is junk but they really didn't think this through. You should never have to take apart a console to expand storage (at least PC's are made for that). At least the XSX has the easy port on the back.This proves the Xbox SSD solution is much better and the PS5 is junk. Take that Sony Pony’s.
Me too. My first one I had a mate to help, which was sweaty enough. But I went full solo for the replacement (after a dead pixel on the first), and it was a 65” C1 bastard too. Bossed it thoughMe when unboxing my OLED by myself:

PS3, PS4 and PS5 just like a PC was also made to be easy to replace the HDD/SSD. If you enjoy being ripped off by proprietary crap, thats on you.I wouldn't say the PS5 is junk but they really didn't think this through.

I'm too distracted by your beautiful cable management to give a shit about the TVwaaay to easy. Some straight from the factory.
Mine is bent a little when I look at it from the side.
From the top too. No line is straight on this piece of junk lol.
But none of it is visible from the front at all. It's just a bit disappointing and not reassuring.
btw - I did put that sucker on a table and bent it back a bit.
I also opened the back cover to check it out. Super easy to repair if needed but the back panel just holds on 2 screws and a lot of plastic tabs. The tv case can rattle if you give it too much bass lol (I am saying the sound is great but case could use some padding)
omg thank you kindly !I'm too distracted by your beautiful cable management to give a shit about the TV
As for screws, it's not because people use the wrong tools. They always use the shittiest screws possible to bring down costs. Chinese off-brands don't just cover brands, they do alloys as well.
Did you use a screwdriver that was too big?
Drill it out, that's the only way.I accidently stripped the screw that holds the SSD in place and it is now sort of stuck in there. It works perfectly well if for some reason I have to change or need to replace my console in the future is there a way to safely get it out?

Better than special cartridge shaped ssd...I wouldn't say the PS5 is junk but they really didn't think this through. You should never have to take apart a console to expand storage (at least PC's are made for that). At least the XSX has the easy port on the back.
I love it. Very clean. I need a mechanical keyboard and a new chair, I even need a small rug to keep my feet off the cold flooring.omg thank you kindly !
True. I once bought some cheap screwdriver bits and these lasted maybe 3-5 uses. Super soft.
If I can brag a tiny bit more - here is the setup from the front ! Wish to move to smaller case but don't want to sacrifice temperatures and rebuy matx motherboard.
oh the rug is essential lol.I love it. Very clean. I need a mechanical keyboard and a new chair, I even need a small rug to keep my feet off the cold flooring.
Is that Ikea Kallax with customised shelf height to fit the PS5 in? With a hand I've definitely seen in an Ikea before

Definitely the latter. This is a pretty widely reported problem. Almost happened to me, too. Figured out how to work around it.Already a stripped screw? Either you didnt do it right or the screws they used are dollar store quality.
Fair point.Look at the screw diameter and length and get a new one.
I don’t understand why one wouldn’t use proper tools/apply proper pressure for stuff like this.
I personally think this is the case, and not just for sony.. the only screws i ever had that had any integrity are on my alienware laptop from 2017.. it's just another way to shorten the perceived lifespan of consoles for the average owner, it seems to methe screws they used are dollar store quality.
