There’s a new PlayStation 5 in town, name of “Slim.” Word is this town just ain’t big enough for two. Time for this fella to ride off into the sunset. For the uninitiated, the new PlayStation 5 doesn’t look much different, certainly not enough to be called Slim. But it does have some…

Not bad, that's an improvement in my eyes when compared to the regular PS5.
Only thing they need to do now is have the main storage as removable (like the Xbox) instead of soldered down on to the board!
TEAR DOWN THE DRIVE TOO
Personally, i like the torx screws on the fan. I've always noticed how easy it is to strip out phillips head screws, and even though torx is supposed to be a security measure, they're super common in most repair kits

What song is this?
👏👏👏👏👏👏
the music was so confusing, I thought my Motorola phone was ringing all the time
If they didn't solder the main SSD to the board, it would be a winner. Like, unbelieveable.
The screw nails length indicator is a very cool touch. And the whole disk drive being removable without tools is amazing, too.
Very well done.
👌🙏
The DVD driver is expliclty parts paring. And no comment about the non user repealable main SSD… having the expansion is nice but form a reapir angle it does nothing as the device will not boot if the main ssd is dead. I feel there are a little bit of double standards on this tear down… just like many of the new right to repair bills seem to skip over games consoles.
To the town of Agua Fria
Rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him
Didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business
No one dared to make a slip
The stranger there among them
Had a big iron on his hip

Well Sony didn't take notes when liquid metal gave this console a hard time…
what’s the CMOS battery for? Does the original PS5 have that?
I'll pass at the new Ps5. Smaller fan, heatsink, and airflow doesn't sound like an improvement. I'll be better waiting for the Ps5 Pro or Ps6.
Nice try Sony but you ain't taking my money, but you will take my money since i'm about to buy Sm 2 lol.
"Certainly not small enough to call it a Slim" So over 30% smaller isn't smaller? Have someone with sense do these videos next time pls.
What is that tool you’re holding at the end of the video? The one that emits the blue flame.
Should also do a teardown of the Nothing Phone 2 and give feedback to them so they can help improve the design. It would make you guys well apart of the community and would help a lot with their pledge to sustainability.
What was the final repair score tho?
You sound a lot like Elle Cordova
Imma be honest.. these teardown videos are way too short to serve any purpose other than entertainment. I wish ifixit would upload proper full-length disassembly videos.
Say 10 years later, I need to swap out the ODD, will that online registration (pairing) still works? I guess not.
