My PS5 already spins its fans up loud enough to drown out the TV from clear across the room, so if they expect to create a device that runs PS5 games at comparable quality and also make it handheld, I don't foresee this device actually being usable. The fans will be louder than any speakers they'll want to fit in there and the thing will be the size and shape of a cinderblock.

I could be wrong, and I have been before, but if I am this time I'll be pretty surprised.

Have you tried cleaning the fans? They aren't difficult to access.

It's less than six months old and has its own dedicated shelf.... I did think to check that, but no, it came right out of the box being this loud.

Now that I think about it though, I haven't seen any other PS5s in person to compare, so for all I know I just have a bad unit.

My PS5 is 4 months old and my fans have never been that loud. Not even when two have been on and running at the same time. Granted we weren't playing disc games, but still... Fan noise shouldn't be that loud
