The Slim was a massive, massive improvement, particularly the all-digital version of it, and then the Pro with the fins, the stripes on the side, I think looks really good. So when we bought a PS5 Pro recently, so the original launch fatty disk drive model, which I didn't want the disk drive model, but it was the only one I could get at the time, Do you remember?

They were hard to find for a long time, PlayStation 5s. We finally took that and I moved it into the bedroom so we could have a console back there. But Leah, my wife, she hates the look of it so much. When we first got it, she was like, look, if you want to have that in the room, fine, but we're going to get a new AV cabinet where you can hide it behind something because that thing is so offensive.

to my aesthetic sensibilities and so we like we hid it away and now that it's in the bedroom I went out and bought some of those replacement plates I got just like the black plates for it because we have like a black like TV cabinet thing in the bedroom and I just I made it like super like now it just like kind of disappears and it's less offensive but looking at it now having seen

And I guess it's true with a lot of consoles when they do, like, the slimmer version. You go back and look at the original and go, man, that was a chubby.

Yeah, and it is. The PlayStation 5 is still crazy chunky.

I mean, the Xbox Series X is chunky, but it doesn't bother me because it's just very inoffensive in its design. It's just a cuboid, right? That's all it is.

Honestly, I think I prefer that to the try-hard, you know, fins and everything. We're going to over-design this. I mean, really, what was interesting about the aesthetic is that they went in, like, completely diametrically opposite directions, right? Xbox was, like, as simple as possible.

What is the biggest... Here's one for you. What is the biggest console by mass, by volume? Oh, that's a good question. Neo Geo? Maybe the PlayStation 5.

They were huge. Oh, shit. Because it was the same ROM. It was the same board that was in the arcade version. It was literally... You could actually play the arcade game at home.

I think the 5 is bigger. I think the 5 is... Someone needs to look it up. Like, whatever the kind of the 3D... Like, not by weight, but like actual size, volume, mass, whatever you want to call it.

Like, that's something you want to talk about a lot. The disc model of the original fatty PS5 has got to be the biggest one. I can't think what would be bigger.
