With the next generation of consoles under a month away, the various products set to be sold are popping up across the world.
Last night various members of the US media revealed they had a PlayStation 5 in tow, showing off the box it comes in.
The PS5 box is as huge as you’d expect of something that needs to fit Sony’s gargantuan console inside.

One interesting tidbit is it has instructions for transferring data from a PlayStation 4 to a PS5, right on the box.
As revealed by Polygon’s Samit Sarkar on Twitter, the bottom of the PS5 box includes a guide for transferring data from current-gen to next-gen. Three options are mentioned: hook both your PS4 and your PS5 to your network; hook up your external storage to your PS5 if you’ve got one; or sign in to PlayStation Network on PS5 to transfer “gaming history and trophies as well as profile and friend information”.
