Ps5 durability discussion

General Discussion

Hey everyone, I’m curious about how durable the PS5 actually is in real-world use.

For those who have owned a PS5 for a while, has yours ever experienced any accidents or rough handling, such as:

Being dropped or falling off a table/shelf

Getting bumped or hit

The console being moved around while cables were connected

HDMI cable being pulled or bent accidentally

USB ports being stressed or cables pulled

HDMI/USB ports becoming loose or damaged

Any other physical damage to the console

If something like this happened to your PS5, did it still work perfectly afterward, or did you eventually notice problems?

Also, if your PS5 has never had any damage despite being moved/handled regularly, feel free to share that too.

Just trying to get an idea of how durable these consoles are based on people's actual experiences.
