YouTube content creator ZHC customizes a 10 foot tall $70,000 PS5 with the help of his team and also gives away some PS5 consoles.

YouTube offers content from creators big and small, but oftentimes the most popular videos are those that feature massive cash giveaways and publicity stunts. YouTube content creator ZHC knows how to capitalize on this formula, as his channel features several videos of him using his artistic talent to give fans and popular YouTube personalities customized gifts. ZHC's latest video chronicles his work with a team of artists to customize a $70,000 PS5 standing 10 feet tall.

The giant PS5 is the largest functioning console in existence as certified by the Guinness Book of World Records. Although it cost $70,000 just to make, ZHC spent much more during the course of his video. Similar to YouTube creator Mr. Beast, who also gives away a lot of money, ZHC took time during the 100-hour challenge to customize the PS5 in order to give back to the community.

ZHC set up the 100-hour challenge with several planned interruptions to make his team do funny things and give away more gifts. He designed the challenge to be a competition between himself and his team, each painting one side of the giant PS5. There is also a stack of regular PS5 consoles that ZHC gives away to his team and children in need. Considering how hard it is right now to find PS5 consoles, getting a free one is probably a dream come true for many gamers.

ZHC doesn't stop there. During one challenge interruption, he asks a few of his team members to go out and buy PS5 games to go with all the consoles. With games like Sackboy: A Big Adventure and the big sales success Bugsnax, it probably wasn't too hard for them to find some games providing solid entertainment. ZHC ended up beating his team in the customization challenge by a single point, with his side of the PS5 rocking a space theme vs. his team's underwater theme. This meant he didn't have to give PS5 consoles to his team, but of course, he did it anyway.

It's possible that YouTubers like ZHC gather such a large following (he has almost 20 million subscribers) not only because viewers love seeing unique challenges, but also because viewers love to see people receive gifts. ZHC says in the video that he wants to make people happy, and it's clear he is willing to spend some money to do that. He paid $1,000 dollars for one PS5, its price possibly influenced by PS5 scalpers making big profits selling the console at higher prices. ZHC's video is a refreshing reprieve from all the PS5 scalping stories and proves that some people just want to make others smile.
