WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.000
how ironic is it david that out of the two of us i'm the first one

00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:11.040
with a playstation 5. sad it's finally here launch day

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:15.839
playstation 5 ladies and gentlemen and look we even got a special fancy

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:19.680
package which honestly i'm going to discard immediately david do you want

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:24.400
this to put on your wall would you frame it and put it on your

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:26.160
wall no it's not cool enough no

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:30.720
oh the last bit came real easy there

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:35.360
we've got the disc version so as you guys already know the playstation 5

00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:39.600
comes in two versions for 500 us dollars you get the one with a blu-ray drive and

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:45.360
for 400 us dollars you get the one where you have to buy full priced games

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:47.600
instead of buying them second hand now

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:50.399
okay david i know you're just a full fat guy in the first place and you were

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:55.920
gonna get the disc version no matter what no did you go digital shut up yeah

00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.960
i didn't buy a single disc from my ps4 really yeah

00:00:57.199 --> 00:01:02.399
you're good so you're not gonna do the whole like you know resell your games

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:05.920
that you've already played you're a collector i'm a collector of digital

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:09.360
collector and you have no use for it as a blu-ray

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:14.960
player no everything's not digital now all

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:20.080
right so david's digital transformation is complete the key specs here are of

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:26.000
course that it's running a new zen 2 based soc with much much faster storage

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:31.439
not to mention a better more advanced storage architecture than any previous

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:37.200
console in sony's lineup and of course HDMI 2.1 connectivity which is where

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.360
oh yeah all those fancy logos in the corner that's right this thing can

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:47.280
output 4k 120 hertz HDR and even 8k

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:52.960
this is a terrible sleeve it just like came apart look hello

00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:56.479
the audio immersion let's get this puppy open box

00:01:54.880 --> 00:02:01.040
number three i just want to feel the controller that supposedly is so

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:06.240
advanced and game-changing that they couldn't allow like plebeian playstation

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:11.280
4 controllers to work in ps5 games of course the CPU and storage aren't the

00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:16.560
only things that are new here the GPU is running the same rd and a2 architecture

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:18.560
that AMD announced with their rx 6000

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:23.440
series graphics cards what we're expecting from that is ray tracing

00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:27.200
support although we don't really know anything about the

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:33.440
actual performance compared to NVIDIA's rtx series just yet as well as extremely

00:02:31.519 --> 00:02:39.360
powerful just more traditional rasterized graphics performance

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.360
there's a stand

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:48.480
really chunky HDMI cable why is this cool no you know what would make me feel

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:50.400
2.1 and next gen like a super slim one

00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:54.160
that's like no broader than the connector itself like sleek

00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:57.040
i have to each throw power connector internal power supply

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:01.760
which is nice both of the new gen consoles have internal power supplies though sony had

00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:08.560
already pulled that off at the playstation 4 of course and this is it hey it's heavy it's

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:12.560
surprisingly heavy we'd be remiss if we didn't pull out an xbox controller for

00:03:10.959 --> 00:03:16.000
the comparison here now this has a couple of double a

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:20.640
batteries in it and you know what in fairness the weight's not different james pointed

00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:24.720
out that i should clarify this is a series x controller and i was like oh

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:28.319
why do we have to clarify that and i was like oh yeah cause like they didn't

00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:32.640
change it it's hard to tell i like the feel on the hand a lot better

00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:35.920
than the ps4 controller like a lot

00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:39.599
this is the first first party playstation controller that to me feels

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:44.400
like it's actually designed for human hands going back even to the playstation

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:48.400
one right right like how hard the lines were on that thing and ps2 was no better

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:51.120
it was it's like sony had this light bulb moment that went

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:57.200
oh the hand is curved

00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:57.200
oh

00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:05.200
i like it and then what are all the fancy features of the pad up here now

00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:08.959
you can like rock it it's a touch pad you can yell at it it's the same as the

00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:14.080
ps4 there's also a mic on there and then the big killer app here is of

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:17.600
course these triggers having haptic feedback built into them now so the idea

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.199
is like what if you're you're on the throttle you're ripping down the road or

00:04:19.359 --> 00:04:25.360
whatever else it really feels like it's like weighted

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:29.040
controller just resistive triggers sorry that oh sorry that's what i meant by

00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:33.520
isn't that isn't technically a resistive trigger haptic i'm not sure yeah so

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:36.720
whatever whatever the terminology is it's got the same kind of force feedback

00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:40.560
that you might find in something like a driving wheel except that it's built

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.560
right into the triggers on your controller no complaints about the thumb

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.880
sticks i think thumbstick technology has pretty much reached

00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:51.280
peak you know thumb waggle thing i mean everyone but nintendo can figure it out

00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.440
at least well none but it's that's a fair

00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:58.639
criticism okay the pro controller is fine you're right when i said they were

00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:01.759
about the same kind of nailed it wait are you able to

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:07.120
see that scale i don't have my overhead yeah okay they are like basically the

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.240
same weight i intentionally sequestered myself i haven't looked at anyone else's

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:15.440
impressions of the playstation 5 controller yet so my surprise is

00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:18.800
very real i think this might be the more comfortable of the two

00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:21.440
d-pad sucks though but then this d-pad sucks too so like

00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:26.400
all right let's have a look at the console and see if it is truly as big as

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:30.960
everyone says it is oh sponsored right this video is brought to you by antlion

00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:35.600
audio featuring the mod mic wireless microphone it allows you to turn your

00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:39.039
favorite headphones into a headset just like that it features a 12 plus hour

00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:43.360
battery that can be charged even while in use and it's got two mic modes

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:47.039
allowing for omni or unidirectional pickup patterns with a switch on the mic

00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:51.600
you can seamlessly connect with pc mac Linux and playstation and you can check

00:05:49.280 --> 00:05:57.440
it out at LMG.gg wireless mod mic what did you open it

00:05:54.960 --> 00:06:03.600
did you come over here and open it and spoil it you dick you dick you looked at

00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:08.800
you looked at my playstation before i got a chance to look at my playstation

00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:08.800
first okay

00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:19.039
i gotta give sony this their product photographers do a great

00:06:17.919 --> 00:06:25.039
job from all the photography i got the

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:27.600
impression that these were a little bit

00:06:25.039 --> 00:06:32.639
more rounded kind of like the the front here and a little less like

00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:39.120
yeah i popped my collars because i'm like also i think they were going for like

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:43.039
alienware futuristic curve but it actually just ends up kind of

00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:46.000
looking warped it just looks kind of defective to me

00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:51.759
where are your hooks reveal your hooks to me

00:06:53.919 --> 00:07:01.280
yes it's down and the hook that i thought was the hook is definitely the hook so you can see

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:06.319
there's these little dots these ones right here act as like the lock so

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:09.840
that's the one that you gotta bend back so this

00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:13.680
there we go what do you think david it's worse

00:07:11.599 --> 00:07:18.960
it's worse it's immediately worse i love

00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:20.639
the two-sided cooling fan intake though

00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:24.400
that's pretty sick am i harping on it too much no does it

00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:30.319
really matter it's ugly everyone knows it's ugly yeah okay that's fair at least

00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:32.479
it has usb type-c

00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:36.479
apparently fast charging usb port on the front

00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:40.240
two more usb 3s on the back hardline lan HDMI

00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:45.759
that's freaking awesome look how accessible that is

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:48.720
blows me away that sony was the one

00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:52.479
sony out of sony and microsoft sony was the one to go you know what

00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:57.919
let's make the storage upgradeable on this thing via non-proprietary means so

00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:03.680
sony if they're gonna go yeah it's just a computer why don't you just put

00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:06.639
an m.2 in it i love this i am so stoked

00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:10.240
it can accept a 110 millimeter m.2 i'll talk about why that's important in a

00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:13.680
minute here but sony is able to go yeah it's expensive today and a year from now

00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:18.319
two years from now remember it's been seven years since the last playstation

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:23.039
launch seven years from now you will literally be able to like buy one of

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:27.039
these gum sticks gumstick m.2s that's fast enough for the playstation 5 at

00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:32.240
best buy chuck it in there it'll probably be like 40 bucks and you're off

00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:38.560
to the races in the long term that's the right move so most m.2s are 80mm you can

00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:42.159
see the the amount for that is right here

00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:46.720
but if you step up to 110 millimeter you can get some that are higher performance

00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:52.000
like for example Intel has octane based m.2s that are 110 millimeters

00:08:49.920 --> 00:08:56.800
now optane doesn't have the sequential speeds that the playstation needs yet

00:08:54.160 --> 00:09:02.000
but the latency is extremely fast so if we get a new generation of optane and a

00:08:58.959 --> 00:09:04.000
gen 4 m.2 like 110 mil that would

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:07.600
probably be the cadillac of storage upgrades for the playstation 5. our

00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:12.800
cadillac's even cool anymore doesn't matter you guys understood what i was

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:14.959
saying and you can also get 110 mils in

00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:19.680
higher capacities because there's more room for nand flash chips on them

00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:24.399
sometimes now the fact that the playstation 5 supports it means we're

00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:29.200
going to see it i think because the thing is even though console

00:09:26.640 --> 00:09:34.959
gamers tend to have this this negative stereotype of being you know poor gamers

00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:39.440
among the pc master race well the people who take that stuff

00:09:36.640 --> 00:09:42.959
seriously um they're not and i think we're gonna see people

00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:46.399
spending you know literally double the price of this console on just massive

00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:52.320
storage upgrades for it because unfortunately only about what is it like

00:09:48.839 --> 00:09:54.640
675 gigs of the onboard storage

00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:58.240
is user accessible for installing games i mean if you're playing call of duty

00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:04.079
modern warfare or whatever you got red dead redemption 2 you got

00:10:00.560 --> 00:10:06.000
cod you got like what like

00:10:04.079 --> 00:10:09.680
three more games you're done

00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:14.560
that's it now just like the xbox you can hook up usb based storage and copy your

00:10:11.680 --> 00:10:19.600
games to and from it but it's you can do it on a pc too nobody likes

00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:21.360
doing it you know you can have a steam

00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:25.360
game somewhere else you can like back up your steam game somewhere else and then just like copy them over when you're

00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:31.519
going to use them but it's it sucks it's not the best ps5 games only ps4 games oh they don't

00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:35.760
even allow you to put ps5 games on it and copy the

00:10:32.959 --> 00:10:41.279
i'm sure it'll come but not yet just just like m.2 upgrades

00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:44.800
does that not look like a defect oh this is nice look at this they've got a

00:10:42.640 --> 00:10:48.399
little playstation logo embossed here so that you know

00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:54.959
which spot it's supposed to go on look at the texture on the inside of the painting though oh oh that's cute

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:58.240
it's got little uh x's those squares and circles you will not be able to see that

00:10:56.959 --> 00:11:00.959
from there but it's adorable you'll have to take my word for

00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:06.480
okay this was easy once i figured out how to do it

00:11:06.959 --> 00:11:14.480
slot why why slot screws should not exist the year is

00:11:11.839 --> 00:11:16.959
20 20. they are literally the worst why does it need a stand there's no

00:11:15.680 --> 00:11:21.680
ventilation down here oh there's a little bit actually torx

00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:25.279
no it should be phillips hello

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:28.920
oh there's a little uh cover there's a there's a cover nubbin

00:11:29.920 --> 00:11:34.640
why can i not turn this again

00:11:32.959 --> 00:11:39.600
i no longer care i'm sure other people will figure it out

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:43.600
that's not better i think i'd probably go naked i don't

00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:46.240
think i'd put it on the stand man maybe we're thinking about this all wrong

00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:51.120
david maybe sony is just big brain

00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:55.920
way out ahead of us on this one because think about it think about the evolution

00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:59.279
of the console's role in our lives like in our families it used to be a toy for

00:11:58.079 --> 00:12:04.399
the kids then it turned into like something that

00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:09.120
adults would own but they would hide away when company came over and now it's

00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:12.639
something that you wear loud and proud like you know i'm a gamer you're wearing

00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:16.320
like t-shirts that are like oh look at me are like i use keyboards and i think

00:12:14.800 --> 00:12:21.279
that's cool you know like that kind of thing lttstore.com um so maybe this is

00:12:19.760 --> 00:12:24.720
sony's way of saying loud and proud

00:12:22.959 --> 00:12:28.079
it doesn't fit in your media console and damn it it's not supposed to it's

00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:35.120
supposed to be on a pedestal next to your tv as a monument to what a gamer

00:12:30.959 --> 00:12:35.120
you are nothing no applause that was my

00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.839
okay he's starting now everybody there it goes yeah

00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:44.800
of course this is a ShortCircuit so that's as far as we go today but make

00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:49.920
sure you're subscribed to Linus tech tips because we will of course

00:12:46.880 --> 00:12:52.079
be putting the playstation 5 through its

00:12:49.920 --> 00:12:55.839
paces so knowing what you know about how the series x and series s compare to

00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:59.920
each other in terms of performance this is what like 12 teraflops and the series

00:12:58.560 --> 00:13:04.320
s is like four so like three times the teraflops

00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:10.320
does it concern you at all that the playstation is 10. knowing that they are

00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:12.240
in terms of the actual CPU and GPU

00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:16.160
architecturally similar which is not the same as the entire

00:13:13.680 --> 00:13:20.720
system architecture and the software do you think the gaming experience is going

00:13:17.680 --> 00:13:22.480
to be noticeably different uh it'll be

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:25.600
ten percent sharper for multi-platform games on xbox but it always just comes

00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:31.680
down to games right and there's i mean there is the fact that sony's offloaded what is it

00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:35.680
audio and

00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:39.360
that's a io oops and can you even lay it down flat like both xboxes are designed

00:13:37.839 --> 00:13:43.680
so you can put them flat no you just with a stand

00:13:41.839 --> 00:13:45.920
you can take the stand off and then put it on

00:13:46.079 --> 00:13:49.839
i mean you can but like
