What do you think of PS5's look

Dont think so. That thing looks huge. Look at the controller. It's almost 4 times as tall as the controller is.
It is a console after all.

From the look 400mm tall with the disc drive version being around 80-90mm in width... the digital version around 50-60mm?

Something needs to disperse the air efficiently be it a big fan, vapor chamber or both. That box just doesn't seem designed with heat being a priority.

It the reason why Xbox went with function over form. Its a rectangle that was specifically designed to move air as efficiently as possible with a big intake fan on top to push air through the whole system and every part in the system maximizing cooling.
Youre right Sony is incompetent unlike the team at Microsoft. The PS5 is just a nuclear bomb waiting to hapoen.

Well once Sony gives us a breakdown you will have a better idea of how the cooling works in the system.

I'm not worried about a RROD situation if that's what you're suggesting.

RROD would be a extreme case that I wouldn't completely count out, but would be an unlikely scenario. The two concerns would be sound and potential heat crashes. Smaller case fans require more RPM's which create much more sound, which PS4 has issue with.

How expensive is it going to be to get it with another controller, the charging station, the camera and the headset?

Well MS did let RROD happen so you can never fully trust them. Thats why Xbox made sure with their box that they eliminate that scenario completely.

For those concerned about the temperature it will be running... Let's remember that that was a priority, and that it's tall as hell. I'm betting components are pretty far apart and it has some decent passive and active cooling

Well there could be two large fans on each side of the board which could explain the unusual venting.

I love it. We need a break from brutalist monolithic designs and I love the fact that Sony took a risk and is releasing something this beautiful.

I like it. It doesnt have a wow appeal but overall I like it. Yes, Ive seen a couple mockup designs that were better, but I like it.

Quick thoughts.

It looks like something that has been left out in the sun too long.

Vertical I’m kinda like ‘Erm, uh, ooookay?’

Horizontal I’m like ‘HOLY FUCK NO!’

Wifey who visits other social media sites that I personally won’t taint my eyes with is reporting the following comments are in abundance.

It looks like a router.

It looks like a slimmed down stormtrooper helmet.

It’s racist because the white panels are smothering the black interior.

Was it designed by BT?

Is there a WiFi code on the back.

It’s good to see spec savers is shut.

Budget Alienware.

It looks like a giant taco.

Where do you put the coffee beans?

Etc.

For extra shits and giggles I’ve included a few photos that wifey is laughing at right now on her phone, because apparently the internet is having a good laugh at this shit and when you consider how the last week has gone, this is a good thing. So well done Sony for bringing the world together in laughter through your amazing new console design.

Seriously, when wifey stops browsing the gossip-sphere long enough to take notice of anything to do with tech, you just know you dun fucked up.

I don't get the fascination they've had for 4 generations now with vertical consoles, how many people have entertainment centers that comfortably accommodate that orientation?

Wow, it looks really huge compared to the Pro. I wonder how it looks next to XSX.
Depending on size of controller (I assumed it's same size as PS4 one) it's about 400x90mm (depth hard to say, but probably around 200-300mm) without stand. For comparison XSX is 312 x 157 x 157
 
Not a fan of the design to be honest. Specially the disc drive version, it looks like they had no idea where to put the drive, so it's just an ugly tumor on the side lol.
