and people pay over $1k to scalpers to get this piece of shit hardware?
Jose Morris
3DS had a similar issue. Total gamble whether you got one with the TN screen or IPS screen. Don't count on them restocking the better one anymore if they realise they can get away with selling the inferior one.
Nathan Gomez
pffffahahhaahha snoy cucks btfo have fun with your 1500$ ps5 you bought from a scalper
Andrew Edwards
No thats not hwo it works nigger. 100 percent legal and happens all the time for all sorts of components and devices. When you have to make a gorillion units and they are out of the usual you take what you can get.
Connor Butler
Who the fuck knows. For all we know one of the reasons one is quiter is because it runs at a lower rpm but would mean a hotter console.
Ian Murphy
>refuse to spend 1500 dollars on a far more powerful PC >pay 1500 for a dumb box instead I will never get tired of laughing at snoys
So you're completely fine getting a noiser console? Or perhaps a lower clocked cpu?
James James
If it can be shown Sony deliberately only gave units with the quieter fan to reviewers and don't show clearly to consumers whether they're getting a noisy model or quiet model then the answer is: Yes, there is a case to be made that Sony have falsely advertised their product.
Owen Young
yeah console cucks will get the cheap chinese metal scrap and they will like it. what are they going to do? refund it? or sue ? lmao
Jayden Collins
Sony went full on Chink Merchant mode with ps5. reminds me of Xiaomi / tiktok / baidoo
all asian tricksters subtly fucking over customers
>mfw my xiaomi phone started needing repairs after DAYS of owning it
its amazing how ps5 has only 1 fuckin fan. average gaming pc has a dozen
I'm just worried about the other components. If they do this with the fans then what is stopping them from doing the same thing with the cpu, gpu or other important components?
Kayden Nelson
The entire console screams cheap but its been that way since PS3 slim models. The last good thing they made was DS4
Jaxson Wright
they already gimp cpu clocks and use dynamic resolutions bro
Parker Jenkins
>Implying I'm buying this game as service garbo Never ever. I mostly pirate and only buy DRM free if at all. And no but you just have to deal with it. Had a similar thing happen to me buying rare speakers recently. The factory swapped the internal amps with somthing similar and modified the circuit to match factory spec. As such there are no schematics and its a pain to fix but waddaya gonna do. You have no way to prove it. Sony did not advertise a noise level for the console and it can easily be argued that it was originally supposed to come out with the quieter fan but had to be swapped for X reason.
Sebastian Cooper
So what you're saying is that we can assume they would cheap out on other components as well
Michael Campbell
that heat sink and meme liquid they use no fucking way they wont go full chink on that
Andrew Cooper
>retards not realizing this exact shit happens all the time with CPUs
Look up "silicon lottery"
James Murphy
Dude, the console needs a wobbly stand that snaps on and off the chassis and has removable lid that uses latches you have to forcefully snap off to take off. You tell me.
Michael Fisher
>meanwhile in the land of pc gaming I spend money without any reserve on extra fans while Sony jews out of their single fuckin fan to save dimes
i noticed the console screams cheap. i could tell in the teardown video. i was impressed by the Jewery going on really
You should always assume companies cheap out. Remeber the capacitor debacle with the new Nvidia GPUs happened only a few weeks ago.
Julian Jackson
Not as bad as the DS (or was it 3ds) which randomly had OLED and non-OLED screens, sometimes both on one system.
Mason Campbell
It was never OLED, retard. It was TN vs IPS panels.
Jose Wilson
Ye I already assumed they would cheap out on those. Guess they have to cut corners to bring down the cost of production. They are probably losing money manufacturing this again. Just like the ps4
Jack Brown
there is actually 4 differents fan ps4 had 2
Andrew Murphy
>switch cheaps out on controller quality >snoy cheaps out on hardware components What's the deal with xbox as of now? I've only heard complaints on power on and eject buttons but that shit is insignificant
Jonathan White
let me guess; whole meme will be scrapped. no more plated heatsink and normal paste will be used + fan will be made to run faster and thats it
Not how a false advertising claim works friendo. All it takes is for a company to knowingly put forward an image of their product that is different to what the general purchaser actually receives. If Sony made sure to only give reviewers the quieter model but general consumers get one that's a lot noisier then that's a case to be made. Sure, Sony have some defences they can use, but that's why this sort of shit gets taken to court in the first place, so that the lawyers can argue over it.
Although that does rely on some law firm deciding there's enough potential money to be made out of this issue if they can turn it into a class-action suit.
Joshua Rivera
Elaborate
Andrew Campbell
pretty sure people who bought from scalpers lose all customer rights as well as warranty
Angel Perez
Another example of this practice. It universal to the industrial world. In France we call this panachage. It is to be expected for products manufactured in "industrial quantities". It is very rare for the internal componentry of any device to be identical across its manufacturing period. Nothing is going to happen to them as this stuff is incredibly common
Benjamin Morales
Who the fuck do you even return your console to if there are issues? I guess you're fucked in that case
Blake Walker
Guess people will just have to be happy with a noisy console that blue screens then. Good luck with the lottery
Dylan Gomez
They will have to and if there ever is a class action consumers will get pennies on the dollar as usual. Thats the reality of industry and always has been.
Henry Watson
i saw someone posting a different fan than the 2 listed here (3), and there is the fan showed in the official teardown (4)
Dominic Myers
Ask for the recipt if you can but if you buy from a scalper you deserve the shit that's coming to you anyway.
Christian Johnson
>doesn't get to choose what parts to put in his machine >pays up to 1000 $ to buy it from scalpers >needs to pay for multiplayer >pays more for games
this isn't even the first time something like this has happened, it was an issue with DS screens randomly being IPS or TN
Grayson Phillips
>Who the fuck do you even return your console to if there are issues? you go to another scalper and buy yourself another 1500$ ps5 LMAO
Adrian Bennett
Also on Vita
Evan Edwards
I doubt the fan in the official teardown is even used in manufacturing. I doubt most of the parts in the official teardown are even in the mass produced console
