We’ve all seen the hilarious memes about the PS5 being an absolute unit. But we still haven’t gotten a slim version of the chonky console quite yet — at least not officially. Instead, YouTuber DIY Perks took matters into his own hands with a custom-built PS5 that’s less than two centimeters thick.
The fact that Playstation hasn’t released a slim version of the PS5 like it did with its previous consoles is part of what prompted DIY Perks to do it himself.
Thus began a long arduous journey of sawing, soldering, and basically designing a PS5 chassis from scratch.
DIY Perks’ end result looks like a very refined custom PS5 that I would pay good money for. If (or when) Sony decides to make a PS5 Slim, it’ll probably be much closer in look to the original tower of a console, but hopefully they can draw some inspiration from DIY Perks’ incredible efforts.
