As console lovers, we can all agree that the PlayStation 5 case is huge. While we are waiting for an official PlayStation 5 Slim announcement from Sony, a YouTuber who agrees with us on the previous issue rolled up his sleeves and thinned the PlayStation 5 with his own means.
YouTuber Matthew Perks (DIY Perks), known for his videos making tech-related homemade products, has created a PS5 model that works just 2cm thick, in his latest YouTube video. You can watch the video below.
PlayStation 5 case only slightly thicker than DVD cases:
To do this, the YouTuber disassembles the console and adjusts its components to fit the much smaller copper shell. It’s an impressive effort, but there’s an important issue. To fit all this in, Perks built a new cooling system that was liquefied by a large power brick that had to be kept out of sight. While it’s a commendable effort, unfortunately it’s not a complete solution.
The YouTuber states that the PS5 overheats while playing games and almost a disaster can ensue. Perks, however, have resolved the situation, you can see from the video.
There’s no doubt that Sony is planning to release a PS5 Slim in the future, we just don’t know when. It has released a slim model for every PlayStation console so far, and the PS3 Slim and PS4 Slim arrive three years after their original counterparts. What are you thinking? If such a PS5 model was official, would you buy it? Please do not forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments section.
