The problem with game preservation is the reliance on day 1 patches to fix issues in shipped games. 15 Years from now unless you downloaded all the patches and games to some hard disk, it wont matter which ps5 you have, you'll be playing a bugged game. I hope in the future they develop some kind of patch download service for old systems.

Aside from stuff like No Man’s Sky and cyberpunk and stuff this generally isn’t true. Most games are perfectly fine without a day 1 patch. And as of now, you’re still able to download day 1 patches and other free updates for all 3DS and Wii U games even though their stores have been shut down. I assume the same will be true for these other systems when their store gets shut down And realistically, in 15 years when the store shuts down, and even in 30 years or whatever when those free update servers eventually die, the PS5 will for sure be hacked and we’ll be able to load whatever games and updates we want. I wouldn’t worry too much about it

Wrong. the die shrink happened on the last version of the original PS5. This new "slim" model has the same CPU/GPU as the last revision of OG PS5. In essence, it is exactly the same hardware as the last revision of "fat" PS5.... but cost reduced and in a smaller case which may cause it to actually run hotter than the last version of PS5. To anyone looking to purchase a PS5 I suggest getting the last revision "fat" console which can be purchased at a good discount presently, or waiting 6 to 12 months until a newer "slim" revision is released with a die shrink.

The biggest question for the detachable disc drive is what many online are already asking. Once the disc drive has already been paired to the console, "is this a one time process for the life of the console, OR will it be required as part of the initial setup every time the console performs a factory reset?" Someone should do a video on this in order to answer this popular question.

@@jaeman8 I presume it's also to inhibit piracy, they probably have some special sauce in the disk drive to decrypt official disk and detect/block copies. Encrypting the communication prevents people from just connecting the official disk drive to a computer and copying disk that way (the interface is almost certainly an existing standard just with a weird shape like the difference between USB-B and USB-Micro and USB-Mini (those are all strictly client side connections, USB-A is strictly a host, and USB-C can be either)). A modified disk drive connected to the PS5 could also, potentially, be a security risk (for them) providing a path for unsigned (or fake signed) code to run (a simple hardware mod to enable advanced software modding).

The SSDs are just like hard drives where some thing better and cheaper will be available every 3-5 years.

With the housing being so easily removed, I guess it won't be long before we see new housing with artwork.

The console could still be a lot smaller if sony would make the slim model completely flat on all sides, the weird shapes still makes it look like there is a lot of the space wasted, but of course if these shapes were gone the whole personality of this console would be gone too.

6nm isn't really a shrink. It's just an optimized 7nm process that probably improves yields. I doubt we'd see any true shrinks on this chip because nowadays shrinking chips makes them more expensive, not less.

Considering that the plastic panel went flying across the room when I opened my original model PS5, having the hard drive more easily accessible is a very good thing.

It's pretty amazing to witness such a low component count on modern consoles. We got the SoC, DRAM and their power converters taking up half the space on the board, and the rest spread among flash, network, a few I/O transceivers and that seems about it.. All highly integrated. Also it's funny to me how they will go and use these rounded traces for high-speed signals but do not seem to feature any skew compensation on the exterior layers at least. It's true that getting theoretical perfect timing does not matter this much on these relatively short traces but it's still funny to me to have that aesthetic effort going on. Also, I'm not so sure having this many decoupling capacitors right under the SoC is such a great idea, that must eat into the power plane capacitance.. Definitely interesting to have an outer glimpse at this PCB. Thanks for sharing!

Putting my hand at the fans leaving the chassis I'm guessing it's about 85 degrees. I'd like to see what the board thermals are registering from the BIOS. Also, I'd like to know what the secondary chips on the board are. Specifically the one near the battery with the QR code on it.

@grn1

100F (38C) isn't too bad. Most chips nowadays start thermal throttling around 80C (176F) and can go beyond 100C (212F) before shutting down for safety. I'd also like to see what the SOC and other chips are actually running at but chances are they're near the same temps as the output (there's likely to be a larger difference with a PC due to having more air space and possibly a larger heat sink inside the case, obviously I don't know you're exact setup).

You said there hasn’t been a die shrink, but I’m pretty sure there has been. 7nm -> 6nm

As far as I understand it only needs an internet connection to register the drive the first time when you install it. Then it's the same as the classic PS5. Why wouldn't you recommend it for physical media?

Honestly, I don't see the one-time online drive verification check as a problem on the preservation front. The majority of users will be buying new units now, and used units when the PS5 is retired. Used dives from one system don't need to be re-verified to be installed on another. And as far as the few new units that may be floating around in the future when the verification servers are gone, by then someone will have come up with a trick to verify the drive without the servers.

I'm glad the drive can be swapped out easily, as that's usually the first thing to die on vintage consoles, nice future thinking on Sony's behalf. Would be curious if a third-party option would be possible, and if it'd also require registration. Glad they kept it M.2 easily accessible, and 2280/22110 compatible instead of shrinking it down to a 2230 like the steamdeck/rog ally. Here's hoping Sony rethinks having to register the drive, or if registration can be bypassed in a future cfw/jailbreak, but alas time will tell.

It's a shame they didn't get rid of the liquid metal...

if you are like me and didn't decide to get a ps5 until now. why not the slim? i got the spiderman 2 edition slim because it was the exact same price as the none slim. what pushed it over the edge for me was the extra internal storage. now add in the advantages, its smaller & lighter, swappable disc drive.

PS5 Black Friday bundle comes with Spiderman2 for free, now is prolly the best time to get one, i guess.

In Germany, we don't even know when this version will be available.

Please add metric as well for us outside of US! Cheers! 😁

Got a Australian accent but talks in inches and fahrenheit Love your videos by the way

Massively better design IMO, purely speaking about the looks. Just looks much more finished, the release model never stopped looking odd to me.

To me the Spider man PS5 looked too cool so i bought that even though i knew this slim was coming out. I am happy with it now i'll wait to see if a Pro comes out. If it comes out them maybe in 2-3 years i'll buy the Pro, if not then maybe i'll just buy some special edition slim.

The thermal image seems to show there's still too much heat radiating into the HDMI and USB ports on the back...

Or it could be the metal of those ports is reflecting ambient heat towards the camera which show up as hot spots, and if mvg isn't correcting for this and many other problems inherent to these cameras then thermal imaging is worse than useless. If gamers nexus decide to take a look at the slim then I'd watch their analysis of the design, as they're among the best at this kind of testing, even if it means waiting a while it is still better than trying to infer meaningful info from a thermal camera that's potentially being used improperly.

The fan is different than from previous models.

Barring the BDXL drive DRM requiring online registration, I love the fact that I can replace the BDXL drive in my PS5 Slim easily if there's something wonky with it. Also, I am kinda not surprised that PS5 Slim still use liquid metal thermal paste, as obviously you're handling what's essentially a rather powerful supercomputer on chip which demand decent cooling - regular thermal pastes won't cut the mustard here. As for the removable panels, I am seriously considering getting black ones.

i have bought my original ps5 for $480 back in my day, i came close to buying the slim digital for $399 and adding my 2 tb sdd from my old ps5 and keeping that one as backup and my slim as my main and travel go ps5… thoughts? please let me know.

I lvoe teardown vids!

Can someone explain me why the PS5 fat is deemed to be better for physical media than the slim+drive? Im not sure to understand the reason. The fat got its drive registered at the factory and the slim at your home. Once done, what is the difference? I guess im missing something?

The difference is that with the slim when the servers are dead, you are not gonna be able to register a disc drive either because you disc drive got damaged or because you got a ps5 that never got a disc drive register and the worst of all, if you factor reset your ps5 slim the registration between your console and the disc drive gets erased, so you need to register the drive again, so this is gonna be an issue in the future, while with the ps5 you are gonna be able to to play those games without an internet conection.

@@checob224 Ok. Got it. So the reset on the PS5 Slimwill erase the registration? Thanks!

The toothpick "stand" is so bad lol.

None slim PS5 video have answered my question: does factory reset /reinstall system software from safe mode unregister disc drive? If not, I don't see why we should choose the old model.

Yes

It still looks huge..

Yes man !!! I lole your videos.

Maybe consider showing metric system values for the international viewers. Thanks!

Sony already had a die shrink with 7nm to 6nm which you'd expect MVG to know

Wait a minute, where's the tiny little man inside pulling all the levers and switches???

Was hoping to seem some VRM temperatures

@7:00 the registration is required by law to supposedly help prevent piracy. Sony doesn't have a choice on the registration.
