Source: Taiwan's NCC

We know from Sony's dimensions that the PlayStation 5 isn't going to be a small console. But new photos from Taiwan's National Communications Commission (NCC) reminds us just how big the console will be. The PS5 measures 15.4 inches lengthwise (or heightwise), 10.2 inches deep, and 4.1 inches thick. These measurements Sony shared doesn't even include the stand or its "largest projection." 

It will be larger than the Xbox Series X and bigger than the big consoles like the original PS3, the first Xbox, and the Xbox One. So, you better prepare space for it if you don't have a place to put it yet.

Sony PlayStation Plus Collection gives PS5 owners PS4 classics at launch

Sony didn't launch a streaming service alongside the new PlayStation 5. Instead, it's bringing some classic PlayStation 4 games to the PS5, at least for PlayStation Plus subscribers. You will receive over 15 of both Sony's games and third-party titles. We'll share the full list under the cut.

The games can be downloaded and played directly. The collection will be available when the PS5 launches on November 12. It isn't known if the Play Plus Collection will be available for a limited time or change over time.
