I have an earlier post about some adventure style games.  Few said the PS4 limits me.  Wife said she would buy me a PS5 if I want it.  There is several variations out there.  Point me in a solid direction. I see a slim model.  Being a slim model does it give up anything ?  Can you lay it over.  I see pictures of it standing up.  I need to slide it in an entertainment stand.  No room for it to stand up. Thanks Wardawg

make sure she gets the PS5 SLIM DISC version.  Unless you're okay with an all digital library.

Yes you can lay it horizontally, it comes with little feet to support it.

There are two versions, one is digital only and doesn't have a disc drive. If you want to play physical games and movies make sure you get the version that has the drive.

I'd get a standard disk PS5 if you can. Yeah you can set it up horizontally.

You can get an external drive to play disks. The pro has the best graphics & supports 4K gaming.

I don’t know how much storage the slim has, but my 500gb fat one is 2/3 full with just a few games on it.

Yeah there are plenty of games 50-100GB in size, it can fill up fast. Good news is you can add a m.2 ssd to a PS5 for additional storage.

This is a day 1 upgrade if you get a PS5.

I passed on the slim because of reports of over heating.  I got the digital big one late model.

Be careful with it in an entertainment center. It's needs air movement to help stay cool. It can overheat enclosed with all but one side open.

The Astro game is dumb fun.  I wrote it off at first, then played it. Fun.

Be aware if you buy used games, there are some EU versions floating around, they don’t play well here.
My first buy was MW3, used.  Tiny eu icon was missed by me.
I could never get the campaign to play, but most of it worked.

Thanks for the warning.   Seriously.  My entertainment stand is of open design.  Under the tv on the left you can see my PS4 in orange trim.  Attached File

I have the PS5 slim with a 2tb chip installed. Saw a vid where a guy showed over time the ones stored on the side, heat melts the glue or whatever holding the processor heat sink, and it can move.

You have those to play with and you wanted a PS5?

Astro BOT is AWESOME!

The graphics, how it showcases all the cool stuff the controller can do, and just a overall fun game to play
