　　Now Playing: PS5: What Is Sony Doing? | Generation Next

　　PS5 consoleDualSense controllerHDMI cablePower cableStandUSB cableManuals and other printed materialsIt's a little surprising to see such a no-frills design when we consider the PS5 itself, which has a unique curved design and large panels on either side. Sony may have felt it could speak for itself without a ton of other images or screenshots on the box.

The PS5 is one of the largest game consoles ever, dwarfing the PS4 and even the PS4 Pro. While it isn't as thick as the Xbox Series X, it is quite a bit taller. This could cause issues in certain entertainment centers, but the included stand can be used to place it either vertically or horizontally. Make sure you can access the console relatively easily, as well, as you can pop the panels off and vacuum out dust through special channels in the systems. This will hopefully help to avoid your fan getting too loud.
