God she's big 

I love it 

[Purin]

If that's real, then it's the ugliest console I've ever seen. 

[Mr Do 71]

 

[JohnC]

It's not real, but probably representative of how it will be.

[Pavey]

Someone on Twitter has pointed out as the camera pans round to the right of it it moves and actually looks like it lifts up off the table, so a cgi.

Yeah I see that now. I'm sure the real thing will be much better looking.

I don’t think we need the power of PS5 if that flat-shaded jaggy mess can pass as photorealistic.

[Hitcher]

Well for starters the side is too wide and the corners are too sharp.

They're not real, but they're to show scale. If you're actually asking if it's to scale, then yes.

In that case we didn't need any console beyond the 360 and its photorealistic PGR3 visuals! Remember that epic discussion?

Instead of buying a new media unit to house the PS5, I think I will simply use the PS5 as the media unit.

I still can't bring myself to believe it's that big.  There'll be some slight exaggeration going on.  It's gigantic!

Sony's back-compat solution revealed: the console can easily house all your existing PlayStation consoles.

Don't know if it's to scale "or naw" but note that it seems bigger than it actually is in the video itself because it's stood on world's tiniest table straight out of hobbit town.

[Alex W.]

Well, it will tend to look bigger vertically compared to a console that’s horizontal, and I think the 3D model they’ve used hasn’t got tbr curves right and makes the underside a lot thicker than it really will be. But neither console is  going to be small, that’s obvious.
 

I wonder how much smaller it could’ve been if they’d gone for a denser design like Microsoft’s rather than the traditional flat box? Spreading all the chips over such a wide area has got to have an influence.

This is a joke, but the PS2 Slim is small enough they could put a bay for it in there and you probably wouldn’t even notice. Opposite side to the optical drive for balance.

I don’t care how big it is if it helps it run quieter.

Sharp elbows

Price, fan noise, size.

 

You have to pick 2 of 3 to be in your favour, 1 against.

 

Price against =£599+, fan noise against =PS4 Pro levels and louder, size against =PS5+

 

Price for =£399, fan noise for =inaudible, size for =Gamecube

 

Whaddyado?

The Xbox One X is very compact and small, and yet is also quiet. Big doesn't necessarily mean silent, but I hope Sony listened to the feedback on the Pro.

Really 

The first thought I had was “augmented reality”

Try some augmented reality and see if you don’t move the camera in the exact same way...it’s a human thing

[Down by Law]

I did like that in the Astro Bot PS5 footage he seems to go up against some faulty fans 

[Alex W.]

They spent about a quarter of the Cernycast talking about energy and heat management, I think they have a plan. If it’s like the Series X it’ll have a beefier PSU than the PS3 and that heat has to go somewhere but in principle with the PS5 it will at least be a predictable amount of heat regardless of what’s playing.

So what about these £349/£259 rumours

It’s T3 reporting on a now-deleted Reddit story about a third party’s survey, which according to the Reddit comments repeatedly stated that the prices weren’t real.

 

So no.

[Spacehost]

T3 pretty much only posts clickbait these days. Awful magazine.

To be fair, they tried but they couldn’t fucking hear it.
