Remember when people lost their collective minds legitimately thinking the PS5 DevKit was the final product design?

    Yes. And sadly it’s way better than that atrocity we actually got. At least this one lays flat on a surface.

    It looks even uglier than the real thing.

    They managed to make the actual release even uglier.

    This is such an early to mid 2000s futuristic design, I love it! Brings back memories of cheap Chinese toys, heh.

    I thought it looked cool when I first saw it. I wasn’t really expecting the final model to look like this but I wouldn’t have minded. It has its own look.

    I would prefer this over the current design. I just don’t like its look.

    Have them at work, it get’s boring quick. But it would be cool to have one on display if you’re into collecting stuff.

    I presumbe I going to get downvoted to hell for this but… It looks better. Would much prefer this in my TV cabinet (even if it is bigger).

    Reminds me of that boomerang controller they prototyped xD

    Bizarrely cool in it’s own way – yet totally impractical

    And I remember getting ripped to pieces coming over to r/PS5 from my little specialist tech forum posing all the reasons it was never going to be the production version.  I got torn to pieces, the negative comments were hilarious  “Your [sic] a dumbfuck and are ruining my dreams.”

  11. The V shaped exhaust fins are made to stack one devkit on another without interfering with cooling..a problem a consumer doesn’t have so for me it was impossible to see that design in the actual console

    I wonder why the designs of the release model and the dev kit are so different. Correct me if I’m wrong, but all previous Playstations had their dev kits look like normal consoles, just bigger and fatter to accommodate for all the dev tools I suppose. This looks nothing like the PS5 we have right now

    Only the dimmest of wits thought this was the final design

    The toilet seat evolved into a big ass router.

  15. I can’t believe the little plastic wedge that you slide under the PS5 is the final product design, but where we are.

    Looks like a Photoshop mock-up you would see in a YouTube video from 2007.

  17. The size of it was pretty spot on.. just in the wrong direction.
