PS5 vs PS5 Slim - Best PS5 To Buy in 2024 

just got a ps5 slim spider man bundle for 375 usd on amazon

been lookin for a good deal for ab a yr

​@@40thzx6HOW?

For real man, thank you for that comment!❤

4 years ago? Barely tbh 😂

Many cant

Getting a PS5 is a blessing? Damn y'all need to grow up

in 2024 pc has all the advatages

😂

He probably did, at one point. 😆 🤣 😂

Same

The table was wabbly too was waiting for one to tip over... the Hate was strong with this one.

My anxiety was high!!

Same deal. Bought my PS5 OG second hand, no problems, no overheating, etc. was considering exchanging for slim, but everyone’s been telling me Og’s heat sink is superior as is cooling. Slim has more internal storage, but you can already just buy more storage for your OG phat. So yeah, I’m satisfied. No need of the slim

@Maghrebmapping4 After long research it both don't really that much difference if you already have PS5 OG just keep it but if this your first buy better PS5 SLIM plus PS5 OG will be discontinued in 1 or 2 year's...

@@EvilPerson666you just made that last part up

@@3fi02 The PS5 OG discontinued? Well yeah I'm not sure I just heard it in more then 3 (Reviewer) so I think they check up on it...

No, they're discontinuing the PS4, and the Xbox one. Not the PS5 og.​@@EvilPerson666

If you buy the digital slim version then there's a massive size difference. It looks the same bc of the disc module.

What about heating- any difference??

@@DescendantOfDan If u use it horizontal it should be fine . If it still overheats there is a possibility that the console is faulty.

@@dth.okay thanks for the information!

I have a slim and its sooo quite and always cool for atleast 4 hours afterwards, the people who have overheating issues either got a faulty model or dont keep it in a open space

This is misinformation

Idk what you're on about, mine is completely silent. Gets hot but my ps4 does too ever since I first got it. Thats just electronics

You say that, yet my CFI-1200 model won’t show any video/sound now. Neither the HDMI cord or port (TV as well) are damaged.

This sounds false. I'm hearing PS5 slim is quiet.

If you're looking/waiting for an upgrade, PS5 PRO will probably be out later this year.

@@whatplanetareweon2375it’s $699 for some better quality you notice if u sit 4 inch from ur monitor

yes you can brother

@@sloppyscientist but only with a ps5 slim

I got mine recently and it says 8k (ps5 slim)

@@KoalaCalamari I was thinking of getting one. Do you encounter any issue with PS5 Slim? Both regular and slim PS5 have same specs. However I seen some comments says slim have heating issue.

The problem is… no one thinks Sony servers will go down until they do. I was around when Sony got hacked during ps3 era. Couldn’t go on line for quite some time. If something like that was to happen again, ps5 slim owners wouldn’t be able to register their drives or use their consoles. Even people who have already registered their drives have had to re register them from time to time. Nothing like being able to use your console straight out the box.🤷 in the end, time will tell but I have the feeling the slim will prove less durable over time and create more buyers remorse. I mean, it’s made with cheaper materials so there’s that, as with most slim models, developers cut costs for production. They only fool the consumer into thinking they are getting the bargain when mostly they are paying for an inferior product that is made with cheaper materials and an overall design less durable, like the ps3 super slim which wasn’t built to last either.

The point isn't how long it takes to register the DISC drive, it's about future proofing. If something happens where the drive in the slim needs to be registered again and Sony's servers are down or permanently offline, your PS5 Slim is essentially bricked.

​​@@Loophole23742to be fair, the first PS3 Slim revision turned out to be far more reliable than the FAT models, which all suffered overheating issues.

@@NexusNine lol

@@BigPhil2024 you can laugh all you want. What's the point of buying a DISC console if at some point it may not be able to play DISCs? Sure, if the DISC drive broke that's one thing, but because of disconnected servers?

I’ve read it’s better with the original?

How to register it

Did you find out??

Congrats!!

Is it good ?

@@arcti_x7729 it’s great, buy it, it’s totally worth it

Have you found out which one is quieter? I'm going to upgrade to ps5 and I don't want to suffer with noise and over heating like the ps4.

@@Radiation_76you guys need to clean your shit

@@kitsumiii I had already tried that. Got the thermal paste replaced as well. It was quite in certain games afterwards but turned into a jet in more demanding titles.

for sure!

Og PS only for the 1 & 2. Otherwise no, definitely not

How I got a slim version disc and it's really quiet

Just got mine for my birthday it’s very quiet 😂

I don't think the replies get it, the Slim is only slightly louder, not as in much louder only slightly than the Og.

@@xPremiumRabbitx Exactly

@@xPremiumRabbitx for me it's very quiet

The one that will play the games you enjoy!

@GarrettMusic1 I haven't played games since PS3 but I heard PS4 has more games than PS5 so I guess I'll look into that one? 😂

PS4 has a lot of Great games! Ghost of Tsushima, God of War 4, Horizon's Dawn, The last of us Part 1 and 2, Uncharted... The list goes on@@ytuser4597

@@GarrettMusic1 I'll check it out! Thanks! 👍

Hey I just got a PS5 and my screen is stuck. All I see are like blinking lights. I accepted an update for the controller but nothing has happened since. Can u help? 😥

You can transfer all the data from your ps4 to ps5. Including games, saves, etc.

that's good. then i will buy ps5 now that i know i can transfer all the data from ps4. thank you so much!😀

Yes

The two USB A Ports on the back are USB 3.1 gen 2 10gbps. I have a USB 3.1 gen 2 USB Hard Drive in one of the back ports and a 4 port USB 3.1 gen 2 hub in the other one for charging all of my controllers and headsets. I use the 2 front USB C ports for fast PD charging of other devices like my iPhone, iPad, and Nintendo Switch Lite. Btw the bottom USB C is USB 3.1 gen 2 10gbps like the back usb A ports, but the USB C version charges things faster. The top USB C port is USB 2.0 480mbps which means it’s the slowest port for data connections, but it does also have fast PD charging like the other one below it so I would recommend a USB C hub connected to that slower port to use it for charging everything.

Yes

What

as A ps5 slim user,that is not true

did you find out and how much is it?

@@backroomcounting I’ve seen on Stock X and on that app Mercari. Going $500 and more

Hey and I got to play all the PS4 games I wanted for free and even PC exclusives like CarX Street PC

What kind of stupid question is that

Yeah because you left your problems behind

Yes

I got the ps5 slim without even knowing there where two types of ps5. I just thought I had a ps5 now idk how I feel about it.

@@heckalydalii200 lol I’m going to be honest with you… same here. I just went in and asked for a ps5 and that’s what I got. Been straight so far

@@jonandrew-ff6bp same I have no conplaints. I did think it was a bit big though, so I'm glad I got the slim cus the original is even bigger

How funny I just went through the same thing. I have all consoles & pc so the only left to complete was getting the ps5. I saw the spiderman 2 bundle and copped it immediately but with the thought I had bought a regular ps5 didn't know it was the slim and I gotta say I am really happy with it.

Try call of duty it overheated in 4.5 hours

Yes. If you buy replacement plates, they come with both the disc drive plate and the one for the digital, so you can swap out from disc to digital fairly easily.

With those hand movements bro slaps would be vicious… I suggest you watch how you type to bro

Bro’s hating on the slim 💀

We talking about preformance lil bro

@@Listentothisshi I'm afraid looks are a very important aspect in marketing a device

I got the ps5 fat 3rd model. Think Cfi 1216a. They say it overheats less than slim. And they are 2000 rand cheaper than the slim. I do not care about the little bit more storage of slim. I play 3 games max at a time. Can later ad more ssd. My ps4 is also a fat and works brilliantly still like new. Just throw a dust cloth over your console after playing. The slim looks very open as if it can gather more dust. Those fins on original actually helps. Yes cleaning may get more difficult. But the slim just looks corny to me. I am going again for the fat in 2024. Price is much better. The disc drive of fat is also better quality. And I am going to play more digital anyway. My kids use ps4. My ps4 disc drive works very fine. The slim is 2000 to 3000 rand more expensive in s.a. I get my ps fat for 12 999. Still expensive but much better than 15000.

Just buy the digital if you care about the looks

Good to get another perspective, May I ask why?

ur trippen ps5 slim is litteraly the best lookin ps5 out there rn and its allways better to get the newest model there is at least

@@glitchzykage💀💀💀

I prefer the slimmer size tbh

The slim looks soooo much better

Yeah 👍 ikr 😅 I’m with you on that one 100 percent bro 😎 PS5 original model looks like a masterpiece compared to the PS5 Slim model version

Yes bro waiting for GTA 6 Can't wait What would you recommend me to buy?

@@Paketegood94 If you never had a PS5 I recommend waiting for the PS5 Pro

@@christinamayers3234 hm But The money Will be much Maybe i Will buy The og Or The Slim Idk which IS better!! Please help me

@@Paketegood94 I recommend the Slim. It has also more storage space than the OG

@@christinamayers3234 hm Tysm But i Will stick to buy The og If i get It? Want to be Friends? On The ps5 🙏 And if we can play together you on The Slim i on The og

@R-M148 I bought another OG. It was hard to find because in so much demand but I managed to grab one from a hobby store at the same price as slim. I have a good experience with my original OG so it is tested. I can't say the same for the slim version. I really think Sony should have put some more sleek design and not this cheap looking one.

@@Kashif314hey, not trying to force your opinion, but the slim would be a better option if you don’t have the OG. The slim has more storage and better connection. something very cool about it is that if you order the disk version, you can remove the panels and the just take out the disk insert. No screws required. What I’m saying is, you can turn a disk version into a digital version of the slim. It also runs very smoothly and quietly. I got the slim 2 months ago and I have no regrets so far. Yea. I agree with you, the slim does look cheaper than the original, but luckily you can order some new panels for your ps5 slim to make it look less cheep and more premium like the original. It is so much colors to choose from. You can get some from Walmart, Sony, Amazon, or even temu. So in my opinion, a ps5 slim would be a better option if you don’t have an OG ps5.

@flxckzrl03828 thanks bro. Actually I did bought an OG after having great experience with my first OG. It was hard to find an OG but I managed to get one. If I had no seen the OG fat version I would have got the slim version in a heartbeat but after owning an OG, the slim looks like compressed and out of proportion but maybe that's just me. So far no complains with both of my OGs. Actually I should have waited for a PS5 pro but I wasn't sure it was happening anytime soon. But now there is no way I would pay to get another PS5 for pro features. Thanks for the input bro. Enjoy your PS5.

@@Kashif314Glad to let you know.

He lives in Australia not America

That's cool but I don't like that authentication check which requires a internet connection, it is a one time check but still

@@sssgaming612yeah but most players use internet in this day of age so not that big of a deal

​@@sssgaming612lol even the ps5 fat need dics drive registration via internet

@@sssgaming612dawg everyone has internet

what are the chances that will happen though?

@@USArmy91222 that your DISC drive will need to be replaced or that severs will shut down? Because both can certainly happen.

I wont have a ps5 by then. Why would I care

@@aspirationrecords many of us don't get rid of our consoles or games. You don't have to care, but you're also part of the problem.

Why would the disc drive need to register online

why do you think so?

Both consoles performance are exactly the same, same graphics, same speed, same games it just ps5 slim is a bit slimmer then the original PS5 so why would I pay £477 for the console which don’t have anything new in it, i’d rather save my money and spend it when PlayStation 5 pro comes out it’s more make sense BUT this is just my personal opinion.

@@GarrettMusic1 but if you don’t have the PS5 original yet, then fair enough go for the new latest version, but if you already own a PS5, then I don’t think There’s a point to spend your money on exactly the same thing.

@@sharykog4520my day 1 ps5 has had disc and fan issues.. considering getting the slim now.
