At some point the air must get passed over or through the fans of that heatsink, otherwise it's pointless......if air gets passed through it, then there will be dust and fluff accumulation - it's inevitable unless there are filters (as anyone that tried to prevent dust in a PC case will tell you).

I'll just say that as someone who cleans about once a week, my PC that is almost on the floor level didn't even need it's annual clean this year. I know dust is everywhere but with even a semi frequent cleaning schedule it shouldn't be an issue for a good long time.
No, because just like the Series X video, we didn't get to run any taxing games.

The cooling looks more than up to the task, I can't see how they could allay people's concerns any better really. The fan is pretty big and almost spans the width of the console which means it won't need to spin quickly, the heatsinks are well-designed and they've made airflow less obstructed and made the fan and vents more accessible for cleaning out dust.
That's what the two holes he points out earlier are for, they correspond with gaps in the heatsink design which should allow dust that gets caught in the fins to be removed. It might not remove every spec of dust but it at least makes them more accessible than most other designs.

Edit:
I was looking at the Demons souls stuff and I remembered why I hated the original at time, it was that non explained world tendency stuff. Like certain things only spawned if your tendency was at a certain level which dropped certain items etc. I don't get how people figure this stuff out.

Both consoles reportedly have decent noise/cooling so not too worried. So long as they are not loud I am not fussed with a little cooling noise.
Anyone planning on taking the sides off day one?
Perhaps vinyl wrap?
Also after watching the teardown. Would it not run cooler if I took the sides off? (maybe more dust)
I know there's the front intakes. Just thinking from a cooling perspective.
Testing basically and restarting... Or follow a guide. I learned the hard way I'm dark souls 3. Now I just tend to check a guide before responding to an NPC or using an item I don't know what it is.

It's probably quite easy to add a liquid cooler onto this.

Same! Thinking my current Ikea BYAS TV unit is not going to be wide enough in the middle AV rack and if so Mrs Shawrey has already approved getting a bigger unit which means.... bigger TV needed!
There shouldn't be any. It's why you need an SSD even faster than the internal one so that things like passing commands from the PS5 SSD controller to the card controller and "translating" from 6 levels of priority to 2 don't cause problems.

Ha! The TV has to be a specific ratio to the size of the console for optimal gaming experience...
...it's all science!
But if that was the case they'd have just used sufficiently fast enough NVMe drives in the first place instead of a complicated bespoke solution.

Mrs Shawrey understands this. Everything has got to look 'right'. Cant have the cabinet dwarfing the TV and the PS5 can't look as big as the TV so its looking like 75 inches are going to be needed... oooohhh err matron!
There are none.
(Or certainly weren't at the time when the hardware had to be finalized. Not to mention they cost an arm and a leg.)This is a useful guide.

Do we have any idea when the enhanced edition of Cyberpunk is coming out? I'm going to try my best to hold out for it rather than playing the PS4 version on the PS5.
Next year sometime.

That will be a tough wait...
I'm doing it, I can't bring myself to play an 'suboptimal' version for the sake of a few months. The longer it takes the likelier the game will be cheaper by then too. Win win.
