It's baaaack! It's been a long time since I've made a foreign disc video, but I decided to bring it back for the PS5 slim. For the nostalgia. I also decided to try some other experiments with the removable disc drive... since that's a new thing. Hope you enjoy this blast to the past!

This video is a throwback 😂 Comment below if you’re an OG of the channel and remember the foreign disc videos

This whole disc drive is crazy. Never would imagine a disc drive needing to be connected to the internet.
@janemba42 7 months ago

There is still a high chance the data will be corrupted by disconnecting the disk drive like that. I reckon if you disconnected it then immediately unplugged the PS5 it would corrupt and data left in the RAM.

Wii U discs are actually pretty unique. Even shaped a lil different on the edges if you look closely. And i think it is a form of Blu Ray

You have some steel balls doing this, I'm crying because of the money that was potentially lost with this experiment

Love seeing Jacob r doing these types of things with any console.

These foregin disc videos are a classic!
@InsanityPrevails 7 months ago

I love these sorts of videos... And like you said, seeing those videos of stuff like "This is an XBOX game, please insert the disc in an XBOX console" and whatnot were always weirdly fascinating Same goes for the Dreamcast/Saturn data error things Every type of console "special" messages and errors are awesome c:

Here's an experiment regarding the DVD region. Is the DVD region tied to the disc drive or the console?

I love Jacob for doing these weird and dangerous experiments. He’s a legend for this!

I remember back in 2016 when I bought the Fallout Anthology collection and I was put off that I had to set up a Steam account, as I didn't have stable home Internet back in those days. I've gotten used to software DRM since then, but I am beyond pissed at the recent rise in HARDWARE BASED DRM. From blacklisted cell phones to blacklisted PS5 consoles to DISK DRIVES?!?

The region for the video partition of Xbox discs should be region free. Fun fact, the video on the OG Xbox discs is a video of one of the planned original boot screens.
@stephenbaker1030 7 months ago

Thanks for the video's Jacob. Question for you from the video, at one point it was asking you to change the region coding of the drive. Is this a function that I can access off the dashboard or is it just accessible only when I put in say a region B or C Blu-ray ( I have a bunch of region locked Blu's in storage). If this is possible to make it a region different system, how would I be able to do it? Thanks

My heart skipped a beat when you pulled the drive and the slim automatically went in to shutdown mode haha

Big Chungus was too Chungus for the PS5. Sony seriously needs to patch this.

Without watching... Lemme guess... The Xbox Disc doesn't work on the PS5???

Instant trip back. The website still works and it takes you to the storefront. Now its just an adult version of walking through the book truck and grabbing as much as you can to get close to what you were given to buy.

Im so glad that they added safety measures for yanking the disc drive which is good
@abdullahahmed7861 7 months ago

This PS5 is quite a experimental PS5 😂
@lpjetski8047 7 months ago

Thank you for doing these experiments! It’s awesome seeing that it looks like Sony has taken steps to make sure that the average person won’t be able to accidentally brick their system
