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

For real man, thank you for that comment!❤

4 years ago? Barely tbh 😂

Many cant

😂

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!!

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

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

@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.

U want the dongle plugged in at the back so its not on show

@@Jynxzi-clips-but-shorterthe heat the comes out the back messes it up after a while. Not a lot of people know this

yes you can brother

@@itsjordanforsure but only with a ps5 slim

is there something you need me to make a video on with my channel?

Not necessarily I just watched this video to help me decide which PS5 to get and I'm happy with my decision was my meaning of this comment tho have been watching you lately and I love your videos just any PS5 content in general would be great for me thanks

Definitely slim. Cooling is improved, and also better graphics. By the way, I had the original ps5, and I just got a slim. So I had the chance to see which one performs better 😊

​@@user-hf2qq7be8bLol I have both consoles too and the graphics looks identical. The cooling isn't even improved too! It has the same cooling internals inside of it, it has the same APU chip but in a smaller case with smaller heat dissipation. So probably here is the list at better cooling: 3. ps5 launch model n 1100 series Ps5 2. Ps5 Slim 1.Ps5 1200 series

You are taking about the pro version maybe ​@@user-hf2qq7be8b

@@user-hf2qq7be8bso much misinformation in this message dawg 😭 are you tapped? internals are the same, which means the graphics are identical

Slim if you value your space

How to register it

bluetooth headset, a USB-C headset, or just buy a USB A to C adapter for like 3 dollars.

is there something you need me to make a video on with my channel?

Honestly I like the PS5, but I really really like how the PS5 looks so I chose the PS5.

I’m getting the PS5

enjoy! @@jasonevo8

I bought the one thats available to purchase and doesnt require a horse stable to store it.

If I'm a brand new buyer, I'll still choose the Og. If the Slim is the only option, that would be ok because a Ps5 is a Ps5

i dont know the difference thats why im here but i got the ps5 slim and super fast. i hvavent played games in ages but so far my experience is fantastic

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

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!😀

So What Do You Say? The Original Or Slim? Cuz I Will Buy One Soon..

@@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...

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.

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

Yeah because you left your problems behind

I bought a slim from best buy and its completely silent. Sounds like a skill issue

It depends where you put it with any console you have to place it in a open space and maintenance like cleaning the dust out it legit might just be your setup. Even back then I've seen people place consoles in closed areas expecting the console be fine

It might be a faulty console. I got a Slim and it's quiet but not as quiet as my Og though.

@ItsGwenzy4ever all I know is alot of people don't let through consoles breath. I did see someone modify their ps4 and the fan was huge that's why the ps4 is wide even the slim is kinda big

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

what are the chances that will happen though?

@@USMC19777 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

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.

you probably don't have to worry about disc drive software from the official website, because you probably won't be using it for more than 4,5 years, and even if you use it, I'd say you're safe for more than 10 years for that drive software scenario

@syedsameeraly I didn't want to take the chance with the disc drive stop working so I just went with the 1200 ps5 disc verison. I think about time the ps7 and xbox come out all system will be all digital future and I hate it. But you really not safe rather if u buy the disc or digital because at anytime any company can stop the software from working on both.

Have you contacted the retailer/Sony to try and resolve the issue?

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? 😥

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.

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?

why would sony stop updates on the ps5? You can still play ps3 online so no need to worry lol

I wonder if the ps5 pro will have the ps5 pro controller I hope so

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.

hold off for a bit longer my friend

@@GarrettMusic1 I will😅

​​@muddabuwshi6510 I bought mine for €409 last Black Friday, you should wait discounts before buying a PS5.

It's a 30% difference....barely.

Series 12

What will you choose then? If you want a slightly better cooling then get the Ps5 Og, if you want a slightly better storage then get the Ps5 Slim. It's just simple

@@Spider-Fam2 thanks i think I'll get the og one

@@Jojo_fan00 But make sure it's the 1200 series because that has the best cooling out of all the Ps5, Happy Gaming👍

@@Spider-Fam2 ok thanks

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

What

as A ps5 slim user,that is not true

the internal structures are different, the fans sounds are different, the heat protection is a little bit different

Yes

Congrats!!

Is it good ?

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

It’s literally the same console, only thing different is size and storage

@@ericdunn3276 same console, a bit bigger storage and faster WiFi with slim. So in a way it’s an upgrade.

@@mSportZxwoahhh I might get a slim

The phat Ps5 supports Wi-Fi 6 too, what are you talking about?? Both systems supports wifi-6, I see some false information 👀

@@Spider-Fam2 that’s really odd, seen somewhere the info about this but can’t find it. Wonder if OG PS5 version has issues with WiFi 6 speeds due to controller issues as it’s been noted on various occasions PS5 do have poor WiFi speeds. Maybe PS5 Slim WiFi controller is more mature and better sync with routers. Anyways, if you have OG PS5 then I would rather add extra HDD if the you don’t fancy the new look of PS5 slim.

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

What kind of stupid question is that
