Just picked up a digital PS5

[docbrown1985]

I picked up a digital PS5 last week and didn't play it yet didn't even open the box yet because I'm going away for a few days, I have the box laying down with the PS5 front of the packaging facing upward, will it be okay to leave this until I come back? I don't want there to be any leaking metal issue

The best position for the system is horizontal. Not the vertical standing position. Ironic, I know, but... the system has vents going out in the front.

The leaking metal stuff...? I know that was an issue in early models, but the new ones have new parts, so I think you're good.
