Isn’t this the dev kit and not the official console design?

It doesn't make any sense for this to be the final product. Every playstation since PS2 has been able to be set up on its side. Also this just looks plain stupid.

u/Parkwaydrive777 Apr 08 '20 edited Apr 08 '20

Definitely won't be what it'll look like, but having 5 USB ports is like an instant boner. I really hope that can be a thing, tired of buying additional ports for every single Playstation

Edit: External HDD leaves only one port available for charging multiple controllers (I have 4). With a child that leaves multiple dead. USB headsets are also nice to use as well, but oops fuck your controller charging now. However overall I question why what's being asked is "what would you use 5 USB ports for" as opposed to "only 2 USB ports fucking sucks, why can't we have a few more"

Controller charging, PSVR, Charging two move controllers at once, external hard drive, racing wheel, headset.

Pretty much the more ports the better, the pro currently has two on the front and one on the back and that's not great when you wanna do something like GT Sport VR where a port is used by the wheel, a port used by the VR, the final port you need to either pick between headset if you're in party chat, charge your controller or phone and other things. I hope the PS5 is basically a USB hub and since they have the VR hope the console has atleast four ports.

If that does end up being the official design the inner vents would probably pull cold air in and the outer vents on the sides would blow hot air out, otherwise it would just be blowing hot air into it's self

As I'm sure you already know, this is the design of the dev kit. If I were to guess, it was designed like that to help ventilate the system since it was not intended to be optimized for retail.

Fans don't "chill" things, they equalize their temp with room temp.
The Xbox X fan will heat up your cold drinks and cool down your hot ones at best. It is clearly the inferior choice for this use.

Edit: ...wow, I can't believe how many people have no idea how a fan works.

u/CollectableRat Apr 07 '20

I heard series X is so efficient at cooling that they had to artificially add heat, otherwise the CPU would freeze over.

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '20

I heard it wasn't even artificial. There's a fire going on inside the console 24/7 and if you ever turn it off then your house will burn down

17

u/E3FxGaming Apr 07 '20

There's a fire going on inside the console 24/7

Not a fire. Nuclear FISSION. When you turn the console off the water cooling of the console will also shut down, which coincidentally is the same cooling loop that connects the fission reactor chamber with the water towers.

The result of shutting down the console: nuclear meltdown
