PS5 Slim Review And Unboxing, Is It Better Than The Standard PS5? Is It Worth It? 

Honestly Pro looks like a kid unboxing a gift for Christmas😂

If they can actually build them that size, why don't they START with that size? 🤔

always love your down to earth honest reviews and videos

Disc drive for PS5 slim is removable and it also needs internet connection in order to work (at least for the 1st time setup), for those considering ps5 slim for more storage that already owns regular PS5, consider buying NVME instead of new console, both PS5's have NVME socket as well as external drive support. For those that don't have PS5 and plan to buy one I'd say go for whatever fits your style and budget.

This reminds me of a 2010 unboxing. I love it! Pro is one of my favorites no fancy camera or equipment just a thorough review

Your every video is calming and makes me feel like im chilling with my best friend and having a time of my life no matter what we are doing. Thank you professional for your content 💜

Great video Patrick. The slim model will be a little easier to travel with when you fly to see your family in NY. I use the USB-C port in the front of my OG PS5 to charge my headset. I just bought a short little USB to USB-C adapter cable. Works really well

Very old school unboxing/review, I like it.

That’s fire, congrats dude!!!

To increase the quality of these types of videos i think you should do a couple of things, first find a table and sit behind it while reviewing and unboxing, with camera stand on opposite side that you move with hands once you start to unbox, it makes it look better than unboxing on bed, next you should have strong lights around so the camera gives better picture and that's pretty much it, for me it's better at some table and good lightning.

Awesome unboxing video of your PS5 slim. To be honest, the slim model looks actually good to me. I know for some people they have their own pros and cons of what they experienced about it. It's nice that it's been initially released just before and it comes with a game bundle. I got the original standard edition and so far it's been good as it's the model I prefer.

This was a really good unboxing. I watched another one where the guy complained to go horizontal you have to buy a stand for extra. Never showed or mentioned the clear legs... I only heard about them in this vid

Hey Pro GREAT vid man NOW I KNOW IM GETTTING THIS DURING JAN SALES

Hey pro, Glad to see you do well at this point, you seem alot happier in this unboxing then you did back on the original PS5! I can see you been hitting the Gym to! Keep it my brotha! I know how much work you put in your videos! Never stop! Cheers.

Thanks for the review, I’m getting a ps5 on Black Friday, great timing

I'm just gonna stick with my regular PS5.

thank you pro I was wording if it was worth and your video helped a lot

Looks awesome and I like the content 🤩

Most honest review ever, need more of this

Also Pro you forgot to mention one part: For people such as myself that are moving their PS5 around pretty often from place to place could also find good value in a smaller console like this I might sell my old ps5 and purchase it I'm not sure yet tho

Love your videos

Nice, I was looking at ps5 to buy so this might be a good grab. Thanks for the video review

I'm just gonna stick with my regular PS5 now because as cool as the PS5 slim looks and how it works, I don’t see any point in getting it since I already got it last year and I have an external hard drive. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is an amazing game and I've been having a lot of fun with it and I hope you have fun with it, too.

commenting to boost engagement great review pro

I think the 2 transparent slaps are the stand holders to keep it from overheating its if you want to keep it horizontally instead of vertically

Finally a new video 😊👍

Pro looks like he just got this PS5 for christmas morning.

Can you do a gaming collection? (games, controllers, consoles, special editions, etc) Would like to hear your gaming origin. what games do you start playing? earliest gaming memory? etc..

If you've got the $200, the Edge is definitely worth it. It comes in its own case with a lot of ways to customize it. I got it because I got unlucky with my PS5 controller and encountered stick drift.

10:03 The PS5 slim has the USB type C. The old standard usb was replaced because USB C is now the new standard + it's used on every devices.

OMG I have the same shirt! 😂 Great video, BTW keep it up!

Thankyou for putting my mind at ease with your opinion not really necessary to up-grade from fat PS5. But looks like I will definitely be picking up the PS5 Pro when it arrives on shelves.

Good review

Hope your having a good day pro

Much respect!!! Love your work!! God bless your channel!!! You're an awesome person!! Keep it up!!!

The disc drive for the slim has to be registered to it because if you don’t you won’t be able play disc so you have to do it when you set it up

If it’s just a smaller version of the PS5 then it’s not worth buying as a replacement. As a starting point for next gen gaming then that’s different.

Pro...It's like old youtube, and i like it 😭 ❤

First here👍 keep up the good work!

They discourage backside charging, hmm? Seems like they still haven't figured out how to stop the melting USB issues then. I really don't know why they didn't just give us 2 of each port on the front with the 2 in the back as backup or gone in its entirety because of the issue with the back ports being melted over time.

Technically that is a 'PS5 Slim Pro' because you own it 😄

Well seeing this video I'm thinking about getting it

Hey pro now that you have mafia 2 installed do you plan on doing a series on it. I would love it because it is one of my favorite games ever

It still baffles me they didn’t put the damn disk drive the in the black glossy area the new one being smaller makes the disk drive look worse

We’re here I remember watching you unpack the pa5 in 2020 . and was so jealous of you 😂😂 but also really happy for you that you managed to get one right at the heart of the pandemic . I Myself managed to get one last year

You’re not wrong about MW3, I bought mine from a GameStop and they didn’t have any Spider-Man 2 bundles in the slim, they did have it in OG ps5 models but they did have the MW3 bundles. I actual bought an OG version I really wanted a game to start with and not COD and they’re pretty much same specs. The only real plus really is 825 gigs to 1 tb but I plan to put an extra stick in anyway

I'm glad that you also prefer Physical Media over Digital. BTW, can you do a Metal Gear playthrough someday?

cant wait to see Pro review the PS5 Pro

Great watch. Its a nice mid season refresh. But basically redundant since its the same specs as the original so if you have the original PS5 theres no use switching unless youre doing it for pure aesthetics. Coz the detachable drive for instance seems like a nice touch but inconvenient if something ever goes wrong with it.

Was man love your videos

Looking good as always! There sure seems to be a lot less hype for call of duty now. It's not like COD is anything new or exciting, it's usually the same thing. I think people would much rather have DLC than "full games". They don't really even change anything anyway. Anyway, I bought a PS5 this year and there's no way I'm buying another one. I always thought that if you have the base console, the next models aren't really worth it. I would have kept my original PS3 forever if I could have. Now if you don't have it yet, the newer model is usually always a little bit better in some areas. It seems more worth it for new customers.

I think showcase a gaming console is unique because it shows how each generation looks likes and operates

pro is just like us, these other people are talking the exact size and everything, just show it with the old one!

If my original PS5 were to break then i will go for the PS5 slim.

If you look at the ID on the back of your controller and if it ends with letter A it means its new and improved and its got less chances of getting stick drift, i had mine for over a year now and i still dont have the stick drift. But if it doesnt end with letter A and its just a number then its the older version

Just got my ps5 slim and love it its not much different to the regular console also easy to travel with

8:31 USB-A 2.0 , Since USBC is more Common Than Before , there is no reason to ship with USB-A 2.0 , also the front USB-c port on OG model are USB 3.1 , it will be great if it is a Thunderbolt port

The only reason I got the MW3 bundle was because my best friend bought me spiderman two weeks before I bought my ps5 slim

Merry Christmas in Advance

Hmm… Guess I’ll buy one and store my old version for preservation since Sony are likely going to discontinue it from here on out. Awesome unboxing, Pro. 😎👍🎮

Will you stream spiderman or have you already? You probaby figured it out but the A-things are stands you click in the black line if you want it lying down. Because theycharge extra for the stand for upright position 😢 Have you got the playstation portal? Thats sweet i think im buying soon

I was thinking about getting a ps5 before Christmas

I’ll go one further, if you don't have a ps5 and you can get the standard one get it over the ps5 slim, when you can't get standard ps5s anymore because all stock has been replaced with the slims get ps5 slims. You'll thank me later! 2 issues most will likely encounter is what we saw even in this video at 14:52 where the system locked the player out of their own game and they had to verify the drive, despite the fact they would have already of verified the drive to have played the game in the first place and the second issue most will likely face in the future is problems with over heating.You're welcome! Sony have created more problems than they've solved.

I'm happy with my PS5. I'll just buy some extra storage soon. Also, get a tripod if you ever do another unboxing video in the future

Pro maybe use a tripod and better camera for the unboxing so the viewpoint is higher

15:07 i heard that since that since the disc drive is removable you have to install/update or like sync it to your PS5 slim

I love that he just wears a Playstation shirt.

LOL, short answer - Nope! The new Disc Drive requires online “pairing” before use via Sony's Server (DMCA Protection) feature just like Microsoft has. If there is a problem contacting Sony's Server and it can't pair then you get that error. Your now dependent on Sony having those Pairing Servers for the drives to work. :(

I'm surprised the PS5 Slim is already out, thought it would be next year they'll releasing it, but they have to get those Christmas sales i guess, right? Its a matter of time before we get the PS5 Pro and the PS5 Super Slim before they start or enter the PS6 life cycle, right? Also, did not know the PS5 Slim is already out because there's market advertising where i am and thats mostly because GameStop is no longer around in my country, no game store except for Cex or toy stores, but also other retail and super stores, so yeah

Very Cool Unboxing Must say I See With Ps5 Is Diffrence but with storage is no problen You Can Extend with Wd Black ssd Inside Or With External Am I Correct Sometimes I Don't Perfectly speak 😆

The new slims eject button is definitely better, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve accidentally put my PS5 into rest mode when I’m trying to eject a game, I always mix them up.

OG PS5 has entered the chat.

Now we just need some decent games to come out

Cool video

colleague just bought the regular ps5 a few days ago, hope he got it for a good discount

I’m getting mine next week and with modern warfare 3

From the photo you showed us i counted 56 Call of duty MWIII Playstation bundles just out of curiousity how many were there behind the counter? i assume more than 56

It’s dumb that that they removed the usb port so there’s only a usb c.. they shud just leave it the way it was

I’ll wait for the ps5 pro, the only reason to get this is if you don’t already own a ps5

I never had a PS5. Personally,I have a PS4 that was in a spider man (1) box. I always still play it.

I wonder what people who buy the same thing multiple times do with them. Like will you do a giveaway or give it to a friend/family?

Giving a like for the effort, certainly. Personally, though, Sony already burned its bridges with me with how unreliable everything up to and including the ps3 was for me. Then they do me double dirty and ban my account. I'm also where I'd only be interested in a PS5 if I knew for sure that I would be able to jailbreak it right away. Why? Well, besides other reasons, dataminers claim they found a working PS2 emulator in the firmware for the PS4 and 5, that was *disabled by default by Sony.* So among the first thing I'd do with such a system is find the means to turn it on. With that in mind, a slim really has almost negative interest because any such exploits are much more likely to work on an older model.

Are you going to play Marvel Spider Man 2? I wouldn't mind watching it if you decide to make a cosplay series of this game, since the did showcase few parts of New Your that you show up in GTA IV lore videos. Ps. I wish that that PS5 slim would get released 6 months ago when I bought my actual PS5 console.☹

Are you gonna play Spider-Man 2 for the channel?

Well since I don’t have a ps5 I might as well get this one ngl

I'm happy with my standard PS5, and it still works. I got it for Christmas in 2021.

I barely play my original ps5 sadly. Wouldn’t get this to collect dust too

Unfortunately gonna have to invest in a PS5 just to play GTA VI, my source confirmed a PC port is not in the works whatsoever and not planned until a smooth console release is achieved. Sucks.

Bruh, the larger PS5 has less storage than the smaller one

we treat these things like royality.

What about a PS 5 pro? Supposed to come out next year?

Patrick will you use the new PS5 system on your stream?

The disc drive you have to register it via internet on first boot (so they can stop piracy) and disc drive is removable and processor as far as i know is same but I've heard reports saying that ray tracing is software based rather than hardware based

I will wait for the ps5 pro that probably releases around the same time as gta 6

Hey Pro now that you got the PS5 Slim, will you be giving it to a family member or friend since there is no need for you owning it as you already have a PS5?

back in the 1990s when you would wake fir Christmas to open the presents

Has the slim version done anything about the coil whine many experience with their ps5?

Only a 200 gb increase, wtf is up with PlayStation. It's only double of the PS4. That shit should be a terabyte at least without any external devices

Its alright I think most people need to realise console revisions are for people who are joining a console generation late unless you're a super fan so yeah its not meant to or is going to appeal to you as being a current owner of that console when ever its a ps, switch or xbox

I'm going to stick with the ps5 i have now, if it breaks i might buy the ps5 slim.
