Dave Lee, popularly known for his YouTube channel Dave2D, got a chance to lay his hands on the highly anticipated PlayStation 5 (PS5) ahead of its official release. Lee shared an in-depth teardown of the console, giving viewers an exclusive look at its features, including the detachable disc drive and its sleek design.
Despite the fact that the PS5 does not have a specific release date yet, Lee’s teardown offers an exciting glimpse at what consumers can expect when the console hits the market later this month. The video serves as a valuable resource for those curious about the inner workings of the PS5 while avoiding the need to purchase the $499.99 console themselves.
In the video, Lee starts by removing the PS5’s plastic side cover, revealing the disc drive held in place by three standard crosshead screws, dispelling initial speculation that pentalobe screws were used. After removing the screws, the drive easily “pops right out,” showcasing the console’s sleek modularity.
Lee’s teardown further showcases the PS5’s disc drive connector, a port framed within an oblong hexagon where the drive’s connector is situated. This thoughtful design feature eliminates the need for hard, angular plastic connectors that may cause discomfort or difficulty when removing the drive.
Aside from the detachable disc drive, Lee also examines the overall design of the PS5. When compared to its predecessor, the PS5 stands out with a distinct, pointy “Dracula collar” look. The size difference between the original and new models is more noticeable than previously anticipated, although the PS5 remains slightly larger than its competitor, the Xbox Series X.
Importantly, Lee mentions that the PS5 feels significantly lighter, enhancing portability for users who may want to take their console with them on the go or to a friend’s house.
With the anticipation building around the upcoming release of the PS5, Dave Lee’s teardown provides a glimpse into the console’s inner workings and design features. The video offers valuable insights for consumers seeking a closer look at the innovative detachable disc drive and the overall aesthetics of the highly-anticipated console.
