World’s Biggest PS5 Console Sold To YouTuber For $70K

The PlayStation 5 has been hard to come by, but one lucky YouTuber has just bought the world’s largest PS5 for a hefty amount of money – and even painted it to boot. Sony’s newest console is already a monster of a machine in its standard size, with its height of 15.4 inches and weight of 9.9 lbs making it the largest PlayStation system to date.

In fact, the PS5 is so large that it has led to shipping delays in the UK on top of the overall supply shortage due to factors like the still-ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the scourge of online scalpers using bots to snatch up units as quickly as retailers can list them. According to Sony engineers, the PS5’s record-breaking size is due to the more powerful cooling fan required to keep the system’s current-gen technology functional. However, the average PS5 has nothing on the gargantuan model that has recently made the rounds online.                                                

As reported by GamesRadar earlier today, popular YouTube artist and tech customizer ZHC recently purchased the world’s largest PlayStation 5 for about $70,000. This massive machine stands at 10 feet and weighs in at 500 lbs – and weirdly enough, it actually works as a gaming console with an equally large DualSense controller to go with it. Naturally, ZHC went straight to work customizing his giant-sized PS5 on Youtube, spending 100 hours painting its matte white face panels into beautiful space and ocean-themed murals to be shown off to a panel of his friends and fellow internet personalities.

So far, the PlayStation 5 has enjoyed an extremely successful debut despite players still struggling to get their hands on the hotly sought-after console. It has beat out both the competing Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch in launch-day sales in November. Not all of Sony’s recent news has been positive though, as a US-based law firm has just filed for legal action in response to an ongoing drifting problem in the PS5’s DualSense controller, a situation that mirrors the troubles Nintendo faced for its Joy-Con controllers throughout 2020.

On a much lighter note, seeing ZHC with his 10 ft tall, 500 lb, fully functional PlayStation 5 is quite the sight, especially after he spent a whopping $70,000 to purchase it and roughly 100 hours to paint it up as he has with so many cell phones, iPad tablets, and gaming consoles on his YouTube channel. One can only hope he has a big enough game room to store his newly customized PS5, as fitting the standard model on a desk is challenging enough.
