I bought one last Christmas. I don’t own a PC, I only have a PS4 and Switch 1 but the 60fps + 4K resolution is more than enough for me. Not to mention the backward compatibility with PS4 games. It’s like having both in just one console.

6:34 Even with the vertical stand, i wouldn't use it, PS5 Digital Edition Slim has vents there and it will over heat in time. Horizontal is the way to go. And please, don't come saying oh i had my PS5 since launch vertically and nothing has happened. Well, count your blessings.

10:48 Best PS5 games
Miss the old days where you would put a disc in your ps1 or ps2, press the power button and then just play not having the complexity of needing guides to get to know how your trophies are saving screenshots or even how to navigate the main menu, not needing hard drives for game storage, or even paying subscriptions to play online... All you need is a controller, console and memory card.

It's been 2 days now and i haven't been able to play a game yet except for the Astro one installed .I bought Spiderman 2 and after 3 hours it came up error .I then put a code in for Call Of Duty and after 2 hours the only thing i could watch are videos of Call Of Duty 7 and that's it ,won't allow me to play anything .Then it blocked me and i had to create an account with activision and i still can't play anything .If nothing happens in the next few days i'm taking it back to the shop and get my money back .

What does a new PlayStation smell like? I’m scared someone might see me…
@SecretCasketsJust got mine Last year All I need is an SSD
@johnjustice8976I can't even buy a new PS5 now,only PS5 Slim is on sale.🤠
@loveyou1304What stand does the astro bot bundle come with? Please say horizontal…
@vigminitaur5359PS5 is life! Let's goooo!
@StuartLong-x7kDisc or discless?
@CoolKid105I bought my PS5 Pro on Friday, February 7th, 2025. We all know what happened on Friday, February 7th, 2025, don't we? PSN was down for 24 hours. I couldn't log into my account or register the disc drive I simultaneously bought for it. What a way to start my PS5 journey, eh?
@Pirelli913I had a day 1 ps5 . Even got the ps5 pro for the upgrade 2tb storage , and better specs :))
@Miggysaurus13I purchased ratchet n clank and bo6. I also got game pass so i downloaded demon souls, last of us remastered and god of war ragnarok
@OldSeaHagJust got mine 2 days ago and I've instantly become obsessed lol. Ps5 slim disc edition. I didn't see the little stands it came with tho to have it sideways
@OldSeaHagA bit bloody cheap to not include a vertical stand with the newer consoles. 🤬
Also, you can CUSTOMIZE the Welcome Hub, but you can't turn the bloody thing off! I don't care about any of the things shown, I want to get started with my games or my media and that hub is just an unneccessary and unwelcome step!
I'm upgrading this year to PS5 for Horizon Forbiden West and GTA6😁🦾
@DeloreonUncharted

@Ra.wwwLmaoWhat about a new game girls' frontline playstation new game😉👍
@RaymsJohnivanPVillegasDespite this being a guide on PS5 slim and PS5 Pro, there are some shortcuts and settings brought up in this that are still applicable to the launch edition that even years down the line I still didn’t know about.
Thank you Rob and the team for putting together this comprehensive guide, great work as always from the Access team! 💖
I paid 200 dollars for ps4 on release day 😊
