The ps5 design has honestly grown on me. I also like the idea of there being a bit of extra space inside to make it easier if I end up needing to take it apart at some point. Although someone's just compared it to the PS3 which was hideous so I guess we'll see when it arrives. But really all I want in a new console design is a rotating logo like the PS2 but they're keeping me waiting.
I thought you couldn't turn the Series X sideways?
I'm not sure why the stand is needed when it's upright. I have a feeling they needed to include it for when on its side and they decided to make it fit vertically too so it doesn't get binned immediately

You can run both the Series X/S sideways or upright, they've got rubber feet for both orientations. No moving logo though - Series X logo is in the vertical orientation, Series S, in the horizontal orientation. This is the only thing I don't like about the design of either console.
I just don't understand who they're designing the PS5 for. It looks like something a 9 year old would dream up but even if the parents of a 9 year old were to buy them a PS5, it would still likely sit under the telly in the living room.
@DethBeard - console wars are stupid. Agreed. Playstation previous gen and, maybe, this gen has better exclusives than Xbox. But their design division is still living in 2009.

Is that really the takeaway? Surely it's that anything designed in 2020 that requires perching on a stand in both orientations is shit design.
The PS4 was solid design, if thermally a bit shit, but the PS5 is a joke.
Also, the Series X fits in my AV cabinet in both orientations...
I know this is starting to sound like I'm on an anti PS5 mission but surely people can't think the PS5 looks good??
