Now imagine having the original ps5 like me.
The things like a f**king whale!
They're ridiculous aren't they! I put black panels on mine so it blends in with the cupboard a bit more and it's not so bad.I see them occasionally if I pop into CEX (for my sins) and cannot believe thats how big they were when released.![]()
Who spends that much time gawping at the console?
It’s just a tool to play games.

It's just a preference thing isn't it lol. It's not that anyone spends time gawping at it and maybe it's just my OCD but I prefer something that doesn't stick out and catch my eye due to it's unfavorable (to me) design.
I certainly wouldn't base my decision on what console to get over that unless I was literally torn 50/50 on everything else. I do also prefer the Xbox controller layout mind PS thumbstick posititioning sucks... IMO![]()
I thought it was the Pro that was bigger tbh. I remember seeing one in a shop recently as couldn't believe how ridiculous it looked![]()
Tbf I don’t have much room to talk as my “eyesores” are tucked away in a cupboard behind the tv.

Oh s**t is it? I am so out of touch I thought that was the slim version!I thought it was the Pro that was bigger tbh. I remember seeing one in a shop recently as couldn't believe how ridiculous it looked![]()
Even if it was visible I wouldn’t automatically think eugh lol.That's why I said if it's on display in my post lol.
I specifically made sure the TV was on the Pantry side so I could utilise some of its wall, plus all of the internet/ethernet sockets are in that cupboard too so it made sense to knock a hole in the wall to feed wires to and from the TV.That's an awesome idea though I'll definitely be stealing it if I can make it work when I move.
You probably hate clutter just as much as me if you are doing that![]()

Take your AI slop and f**k OFFThe vertical height of all PlayStation 5 models ranges from 358 mm to 390 mm (14.1 to 15.4 inches), depending on the generation:
* Original PS5 (Disc & Digital): 390 mm (15.4 inches)
* PS5 Pro: 388 mm (15.3 inches) — attaching the optional disc drive only changes the width, not the height
* PS5 Slim (Disc & Digital): 358 mm (14.1 inches)
(Note: Official measurements exclude projecting parts and vertical stands, which typically add around 10–15 mm to the total height).
Only 2mm in it according to Gemini![]()
I have a Series X and a PS5 slim, as much as it saddens me to say, if you don't have a console then I think buying into Xbox is not a smart move any more, MS fucked it all up.
The Xbox runs cooler and quieter than the PS5, and the controller is actually ergonomically designed, but the PS5 has all the games now and the player base.
Game pass used to have the edge too, but now it's a lot more expensive and the catalogue is pretty stale I'd say PS Extra is just as good, if not a bit better, if you are wanting the subscription model too.
None of those words are in the bibleApparently GTA VI has dropped for PS5, It needs 14.22 to run but was made with SDK 12.00 so can be back ported
I haven't been involved in the console scene for over 10 years now so not sure how true or accurate it is.
I do agree, I think it's the superior platform. But I think the reasons I mention make the PS make sense for most people tbh.But Xbox has things like superb backwards compatibilty, smart delivery and quick resume, plus it's getting FSR 4.1 soon.
They've also dropped the price of Gamepass again.
PS5 pro is the optimal console choice tbh.
Definitely looks more crisp. The extra storage is ideal too.How you finding it so far? I love mine
Pretty much yeah.I was looking at upgrading the drive on mine... didn't realise the Pro came with a 2Tb drive. Just had a look and you literally can't buy one anywhere!? Have they sold out because of GTA6?
Pretty much yeah.
Being resold for £1000+ second hand.
I had grokbot do a daily stock check. 1 came in stock in Edinburgh and I ordered it immediatelyI was looking at upgrading the drive on mine... didn't realise the Pro came with a 2Tb drive. Just had a look and you literally can't buy one anywhere!? Have they sold out because of GTA6?
The merch prices are ridiculous. But, people are paying for itThe mechanic at work wants to get his lad the GTA PS5 controller. All sold out/ pre order for weeks away unless you spend £100+ on them.
It's a £50 controller with a sticker![]()

None of them do. Absolute joke considering how cheap the components are.Probably hasn't even got TMR or Hall effect sticks either![]()
I have no idea what they are. Edit. I do, I read stickers....Probably hasn't even got TMR or Hall effect sticks either![]()
