I think you're too enamored with that word. Here's so you can look the part.
That's a weird way of admitting you're wrong.

No. Just admitting you can't argue with someone that throws insults with every single post he makes. It's what it's.

It's just an additional space with slot for ps5 pro. They will sold a "pro" cartridge to plug instead of a new console.

I didn't mean the new mockups that were sent to youtubers.. I meant the Series X "Lego Edition" that Digital Foundry and some other youtubers got to play with some months ago (back in march?)

That's a nice theory, but I'm pretty sure it's just because the PS4 Pro sounds like a jet taking off, so they wanted to counter that this time. Big box allows for big cooling system and it can run quiet. Hopefully.

Are either of the consoles going to fit in most cabinets and have enough space for airflow? If it goes on top of your stand, is your stand that much bigger than your tv that you won’t need to put it behind it? Unless you had to wall mount for space reasons you’re best served putting either system behind your tv anyway. Unless the series x runs just as cool and quiet AND is able to be in a smaller case we won’t know until more units are available in real world scenarios.And even then, it’s gonna need to be in actual gamers hands. Most of these “review” sites are compromised and have an agenda. Let’s wait and we’ll see. But if it’s quiet and liquid cooled with fans and internal expansion storage bays, Ps5 size is fine by me

They don't have to expose the whole motherboard PCB to the user. It can be like a laptop solution where you just expose only part of the PCB where the slot is located. Kinda like this:
I suppose you just have to pop out this top shell in order to access the NVMe slot:
Sony has done this in the past (letting you take the top shell out or at least a part of it) for e.g.:

Well the CPU will cook while you play Astro Playroom so it needs some sauce.

I somehow missed this when i looked away from the video. it doesn't look like there is a lot of room for a heatsink. I'm curious if heat will have any impact on NVME performance (as it does on PC)

Now we now, fat fat + fat heatsink = fat boi. Still curious about its noise and heat levels.

If you notice, the air pulls through the fins and cools the expandable SSD as well.

Pro was great, but the fan noise was annoying and it ran hot. They are giving the people what they want i.e. a quiet console (hopefully).
Even the base PS4 went nuts with Uncharted 4 - hopefully this means that developers can stretch it in years to come without it sounding like it is taking off.
The alternative is to make it run hotter, but we know what that can lead to....

PS1 and PS2 CPU and GPU werent as demanding as PS3's CELL and above. The more GPU/CPU power demand the more complex and efficient cooling systems are required.
I'm not a desing engineer, but I cant say that as long as the console is cool and work as intented, I'm fine.

It's gorgeous???
The PlayStation 5 has a unique and stylish shape, an exterior that's textured with the symbols of the PlayStation controller, and a beautiful glossy finish on its interior - all of which convey that it's a premium product. Its internals are equally unique and stylish, featuring a dual-sided fan, a robust heatsink, and a liquid-metal thermal solution. On the other hand, the Xbox Series X is a boring square prism that's made out of flat, matte plastic and whose internals look as if they're just crammed into the chassis like Lego blocks and have an inefficient, single fan that causes the console to run hot according to numerous sources. I mean, just look at the two machines; one clearly looks better than the other.

Please tell me you copy pasted that from an official site.

Yeah, I understand that completely. I wish I had another console to compare it to since this'll come off as fanboyish(not one of those), but Xbox manages to keep it simple. Can't go wrong with a rectangle.
Series x isn't beautiful, but it's not ugly or overly huge. It'll fit in with my living room, or play area decor. With PS5 I'm gonna have to figure something out, it'll stick out like a sore thumb.
First world problems, I know.

Even if it had the size of a PC the fanboys would have come up with some explanations

I got a discount. So, it - along with tax and shipping - cost me $365.

I hope these SSD's drop in price fast. I could hold out 2 years max before I'll buy one and I want at least 2TB. That would give me 2.6TB total which will be plenty for this gen.

Well, you have to consider the capacity and the novel speed; 2TB @ 5GB/s is worth $365, in my opinion. Having said that, it's limited to 3.5GB/s in my system, because my motherboard supports PCIe up to only Gen 3; however, it's still a worthwhile investment because I intend to upgrade my CPU and motherboard next year or so and to keep the drive.

It's unbelievable that some people think that it looks better than the PlayStation 5; it looks like a toy, while the PlayStation 5 looks like a luxury.
