PlayStation 5 Slim Initial Setup, Startup, Dashboard and Gameplay 

Thank you for being the *only* reviewer I could find to actually demonstrate setting up the feet for horizontal orientation.

Thank you for this video as my console did the same thing after the controller update and I panicked so came to RU-vid and found your video. So helpful 🎉

thanks for talking about the controller update, helped me a lot.

perfect video. helpful and to the point. thanks man!

Very comprehensive, thank you.

Thanks for the help in setting up my PS five as I have no technical skills. It really helped.

I just got my ps5 slim today and the same thing happened I got that screen where that flashy background was their and nothing happened restarted the console and bang fixed. Great instructions thanks.

Back then, the big reason I sold my PS4 phat for a slim was the big power consumption difference. If I'm not mistaken, the Ps5 Slim and Phat only have a 5W difference.

It look really good, i like the new designe.

I got my slim ps5 also and i had the same issue after the controller upgrade. I restarted the console and it was good after that

2:45

mine froze just like that i didnt want to force shut it off but i guess that is what it needed ty for the explanation

Awesome video of the PS5 slim. For me I like the look of the model.

Thank you... Just got one and followed your instructions... 👍

Im Definitely Getting My Playstation 5 Slim Disc Version This Week For Sure

Am I the only one that noticed RU-vid is full of ideas on how you can spend your money but nobody ever show you good ideas how to make money. Funny isn’t it

Thank you so much my ps5 got stuck also and that happening to you helped me out

I hope they do some custom covers with vents built in similar to the larger version. The feet for the horizontal position are not an issue with someone finally pointing out the holes they sit in which is a nice touch. So only two complaints no vents around the edges like the large version and the vertical stand should have come free in the box or be at least half the price it currently is. 😎

Getting one tomorrow looking forward towards it

I got my slim version today I'm enjoying it✌️👍

Thanks 🤩

Looks really nice really want👍

I'll be working to buy this ps5, nice addition to my OG digital version

Thank you, mine got stuck on that bubble screen saver as well. I thought it was actually doing something lol. I waited like 30 min and figured I better look this up... 😂

Thanks mate :)

You can put an led light in the middle line would look kool

I just got a ps5 slim today. And I am playing my playstation 5 slim on a lg c9 tv graphics are amazing

Screen was stuck on after controller update! This helped a lot thanks!

U mentioning the screen just sitting there after updating the controller and nothing happening put my mind at ease cause the same thing happened to me

Mine got stuck the same as yours at 2:42, that’s why I searched this vid 😂 thank you

Awesome video thanks bro

Thanks bro

great video thanks

Can you show horizon Forbidden West and other heavy games gameplay on your new PS5 slim??? I just wanna see heat and noise testing I'm curious

Getting one next week

Great stuff.

Picked one up too haven’t opened it yet but will soon

Appreciate this hard work on video for sure + i got the OG one 1200 model with disc it’s awesome🔥

I’ll pick one up later on down the road, but for now I’ll hang onto my og ps5

You’re awesome bro I subscribe to you

The Slim look real good! I just got one today with the Black Friday deals. It was cheaper getting the bundle.

Slim is hot and not much air to cool the system 🙌 I am happy with ps5 digital edtion ❤️‍🔥

Same mine was stuck on that screen so i had to turn it off like you did . Tryna connect my gold wireless headset now ...

Thank you very much

Finally, a sensible review.

I've just got a ps5 slim w disc tray and during the first 2 minutes of starting it up, my screen froze as well. Glad it's not just me that had this issue starting the updates. Thanks this was helpful.

Mine did the same thing after the first b update but I just hit the power button and it was fine.

It actually doesn’t look bad! Wish I could it get it but money tight right now sadly. I prefer the slim the design looks better

Yes, I would like to know how to connect and manage an external traditional mechanic HDD disk drive (not SDD) so I can store the Playstation Plus games.

I’m thinking about to get my first PS and I really think I’m going to get a slim digital version, I’m constantly moving and I have no place to storage the disc cover; 3 years ago I got a switch and a bunch of game with the cover, I unfortunately throw away all the covers bc they took a lot of space, now I only have the game card, so for the ps5 I’ll get only digital games, and I can always buy a disk drive later if I decide where to live permanently. Thanks for the video ✌🏼

I’m good with the O.G P5 thank you

Does your ps5 slim have little spots in between the usb c’s on the light I think I got a defect one out the box

Nice looking console

Getting a slim tommorow

Thank you so much. Mine is stuck as well. I took a 2 hour nap and it's still stuck. I am turning off and on now.

2:42 yes mine too got stuck there. I had to manually turn off the console

Im a ps fan since ps2 but idk what happened or whats in the water but i been enjoying xbox more this gen i have both not even playing any exclusives but i dont know what it is but good review! Edit: after saying that i been playing my ps5 today guess found my cure lol

Planning on buying one soon for the exclusives but my monitor is only 1080p. Is it still worth buying even though I don't have a 4K screen? Will it upscale to 4K or something?

UNLOCKED 👏🔥🙌

Happy with my PS4

I got an og ps5 just that me and my brother share it would be lit if i could get this 😭

What do I prefer Soty 5 normal or Saleem And who can survive for many years 😅

nice video

hi, I bought the PS5 slim, I wanted to know if it is possible to keep it in a vertical position even without the base or is it better to keep it horizontally. Thank you

My 1st cosole did the exact same thing. Freezing after updating the dualsense controller. Then after a few days passed all my games kept crashing! Did everything I can from clearing the cache to rebuilding the system. Nothing fixed it. So I returned the system and ordered a new 1. Im setting it up the new system right now as I type this. This system has already frooze just like the last, once updating the controller. So I had turn it off manually. This sucks! Fingers crossed that is doesn't start crashing games or else the controller update is whats causing it. Sony needs to fix this.

I'm only watching all this ps5 stuff because i'm about to get one for my birthday

Belo video 😊

Wonder what version your ps5 slim was before you did a system update

Got the OG PS5 the day before. First ever console that I've bought.☺

Do you think the original PS5 stand would work on the PS5 Slim in horizontal mode? Anyone try this?

I didn't get the option to update the disc drive and now I'm debating on restarting the whole system but that initial update took me hours because of our location and the internet speed 🤦‍♀️

OG ps5 gang-->

Funny when you buy a disc version of the console the game disc is no longer included it's only a game code. I mean seriously what's the point.

I just had the same issue. I got a new ps5 today and it got stuck in that screen lol

question. i just bought a PS5 Slim. Is it necessary to charge the dual sense ps5 controller before using it?

Suggestions for 2TB M.2 ssd with integrated heat sink?

The ps5 slim is super cool

That disc drive should be pre installed when u buy the disc version. It makes only sence when your old one is Broken and u buy a new one to install. Or when u turn your digital into a disc one.

That happened to me with the controller update. I waited and waited and nothing. Had to turn it off and then everything fine.

Thx bro.. how about the new Xbox

Are og PS5 still available out there. I still want one not a fan of this one but this one does have 1tb

Just traded my fat ps5 for this unboxed looks sexy tbh. One gripe throw in the vertical stand Sony!! Come on. Hopefully it will be fine without the stand i dont have room for it to lay down! Like your unboxing hope its a tad quieter than the big daddy😂

So Ps5 boxes that have picture of games on them already have the games installed inside them?

My console froze on set up like that too but after resetting it didnt have no more issues

My set up was hell, because the DNS was getting lost, so I had to set it up manually to finally after 12hrs, be able to download Spiderman 2. Took longer to download the game than it took to finish 😕😕😕 ohh and I also had like a screen issue when it was showing the wallpaper but nothing was happening, so after 15 minutes I turned it off and on, and that fixed it.

Had the same problem with the controller update

Hi so im getting a ps 5 slim tomorrow the problem is i dont have like a good Tv its not big to like it is not small to

r u able to change powers options later? i set up mine as custom

Brought the digital but would of rathered the disc version due to buying 2nd hand games, is downloading games FREE OR ALL NEED TO BE BROUGHT FROM THE PLAYSTATION STORE.. feel that’s my only issue. Like all my old ps4 game. (Disc) What do I with them now ???

2:40 my PS5 slim also got stuck. Had to turn it off and turn it back on

Is it still working ok ? No overheating issues?

mine was also buggin after the controller update

correct lg c or lg g series are best gaming tv

So cool, 🎉🎮🎧

Compare new slim to older model in noise and temps.

I plugged in my ps5 yesterday new out the box and mine got stuck on the same screen as well 😅

Hi, I have a question to ask about the PS5 Slim, I noticed that when the game starts the fan increases its volume and stays that way for the entire time I use the PS5. it's normal ? Thank you.

I have the PS5 slim in my house. I got it yesterday.

Hey guys! I have a question about m.2 ssd. I have a Samsung 990 pro 1tb without heatsink and my question is can I use it on Ps5 without the heatsink? Or should I buy a heatsink for it and then I can use it. Please answer me if u know the answer.
