If you know someone that has a Spiderman PS4 disc (or if you can find one for sale very cheap) it will still be playable on PS5, you would only miss out on a few new character models and graphic tweeks. But it might be a lot less hassle to just change the preorder. I believe the PS5 version also includes all the DLC?

Man if only Sony engineers knew.
I never knew that they sold faceplates for PS4. I knew that part of the consoles slides off to expose the HDD, but never considered that you could customise it
That amused meThis is beautiful. But I’m hoping for a God of War version 
I imagine that once the console is out of its warranty period they won't care. It will be interesting to see the PS5 performance in say 2 - 3 years and see if it has held up or not.
If you are interested in finding out more about liquid metal then this LTT video is quite good:
They make their money on the software, not the hardware. Wild guess, but I imagine the systems are designed to last a generation rather than a one year warranty.
Maybe im just a Sony fanboy, but I can't help but think they may have considered this issue and that it may be a different situation to general PC trends. The Linus video is also from over 2 years ago, so many things changed?
I don't buy that Sony replaced thermal paste with something which will need to be regularly replaced.
I heard liquid metal is better for longevity so I gotta admit Russ comments confused me...
Sony aren't Microsoft, their consoles actually last longer than a year before you get a light of death.
Thanks
Yes, the feedback from the event in Japan they mentioned that it ran very quietly
Surely they could've just made the thing a brick and saved all that hassle with the stand
Also the faceplate removal is clearly so they can add new ones for people to buy. Clever.
It's also why they've made it white knowing it will fit with only a small percentage of living rooms, so people will buy faceplates straight away.
Just call me Columbo.
I’m not into the special edition game designs for consoles, but in stealth grey or gunmetal blue that thing might actually look kinda sexy.
I’ll never forget my Xbox 360, it happened to me 4 times. The piece of crap.
Black/dark grey metal plates could look cool. Or even more like a radiator, not sure. Could also be terrible for heat.
Yeah, people that play video games outdoors would need to consider that.
Wow. Heat sink is almost half of the console.
Used to do teardown for component analysis for work. Wonder if i can convince my company to buy just to open it all up.

Yeah looks like they've given up on the "cram it as right as possible and be surprised by heat issues"Yea, this has been the talk for a while, apparently it was a big priority for the higher ups. Oddly my PS4 and PS4 Pro both ran pretty quietly, but it seems to have been a widespread issue.
I don't mind that its massive, but I still wish it wasn't bright white. And I don't have the cash to buy the 'special edition stealth version' in June or whenever they bring it out.
Whilst I prefer a black console to sit on my black tv stand under my black TV, I would have loved one of these bad boys:
nostalgia overload - though I don't know anyone that actually got one.
PS4 fan noise wasnt just an issue with its compact design but the fan gets very very noisy due to dust.
I'm worried that it will still get noisy as the fan gets dusty
It actually looks much slick here as a console, in person. The cooling system used is also awesome, the PS4 was a loud motherfecker, especially after a few years of gaming.
The dust catchers are a nice feature.
How will they manage to fit that behemoth inside those tiny Japanese houses?
This is beautiful. But I’m hoping for a God of War version
Or can I just have the matte black version. That would be just great.

I’m amazed they managed to make it even more embarrassing to have in your front room
I had no idea it uses liquid metal. That's me(n)tal. Previously their thermal paste has been so so so bad
TrueI think this was debunked on reddit. But won't be suprised as India isn't a big market anyway for them.
It's fake. But I like it more than the white version
Translation?
Have they done anything with the controller?
I have to say one of the more exciting things about getting a new console is usually an upgrade to the controller. If its the same as a dualshock 4, that'd be a bit boring.

Cheapest nvme gen 4 is £100 for 500gb. 1TB tb £170. Literally no point in replacing one in the short term.
You can buy any commercially available NVME GEN 4 SSD drive which doesn't require a heatsink I guess. They said they will release compatible drive list
Always good to have options.
There will be loads of options for expanding storage compared to a console that only has proprietary options, and will get cheaper in price sooner.
Yeah there's haptic feedback and other stuff. There's a blog post somewhere
Can I still use an external seagate hard drive?
Yes you have USB type C and normal USB3.0 compatible ports.
cool thanks.
It also has to match the speeds of the PS5 SSD. Only one of them out so far and we don’t even know if that’s compatible.
This is correct
Just cancelled my pre order of PS5 digital after looking at the prices of games in PS5 store. I'd rather wait 2-3 months and get the CD version.
