Customer Ratings & Reviews

For next gen first party Sony games that are best in class there is only one choice for you. Furthermore. even though Xbox Series X had a smaller edge in performance on paper when the rubber hits the road PS5 tends to run third party games just as well and in most cases better. Overall, the system is good but it does need some UI and functionality improvements with regards to storage. There is no doubt that Sony will improve the console and since it's difficult to find I would wait if you cannot pay MSRP.

Truly next gen experience. Revamped UI menus. New controller is amazing. Super fast load times! Only downside is how huge it is

Hands down the best system to come out in a while. Super fast, great graphics. Cant wait for more Next Gen Games to come out!

I bought this as a birthday present to myself and was lucky to preorder it. Had an issue with the system crashing the first few days, but that appears to be resolved. I guess that’s the price to pay of being an early adopter. The load times and excellent and the graphics are great (COD Cold War). Currently, I find the number of PS5 games that pique my interest, lacking. I’ve been spending the majority of my time playing PS4 games. I look forward to future games such as FF16, GT7 and etc.

Amazing console. So happy with it. Although the console is HUGE, the performance makes up for it. The load times are incredible!

I am a diehard PC gamer. I have been gaming at 60-120FPS for years. By far the BIGGEST upgrade about this console generation is the upgrade to 60FPS. It is truly amazing. However, it is very dangerous. Once you go to 60FPS it really is impossible to go back to 30FPS. Games feel choppy and awful at 30FPS. This PS5 has a BLAZING fast SSD. Games load stupid fast.. faster than my $4,000 gaming PC with an RTX 3090. Just buy it. Don't think. Just do it. The PS5 is amazing.

Upgrading from a Ps4 slim, there is quite a discernible difference in picture quality and load times. Ive been playing Spider-Man and it looks even more amazing and realistic than the original Ps4 version. The load times for the game and fast travel are nonexistent and it feels instantaneous. The unit is heavy and big, especially when compared to the Ps4 slim so that certainly is a an adjustment. If you're in ned of an upgrade it's worth it, can't speak as to whether it's a huge step up from the Ps4 Pro.

the best of the best, Excellent console, Sony the best brand

A bit pricey but happy with purchase fast loading good graphics.....a little oversized for a console ....waiting for more games

Best system ever created, bar none. This system sets the standard, and is consistently sold out for a reason.

Console is huge and takes up space but overall it runs smooth and everything looks good on it. Needs more launch titles though.

Love the graphics of the PS5 and the feel of the controller. I really like how quick my games load and the gameplay is amazing.

Graphics on the PS5 are mind blowing! Love the SSD. Makes downloads and game load times so much shorter!! Fantastic performance

Love this next gen console. Loads up games 100x faster than my ps4 and graphics are amazing. Dualsense controller is awesome

The PlayStation 5 is hands down the smoothest, nicest, best ease of use, fastest gaming consoles I’ve ever used in my entire life. This machine is amazing. Only problem is how freaking big it is, and lack of storage space.

Graphics and speed are amazing. Games look and feel great with new controller. Still can’t believe I got one through Best Buy.

Best console of all time. You will not regret it at all.

Graphics are great and the speed is insane. The new controller that’s with the system is awesome. PlayStation for life.

The PS5 takes gaming to the next level. The gameplay is insane! I did have to buy an external hdd after about 9 games though!

Let's be real, getting your hands on one of these things is no small task. I wanted to spend some time with the console before leaving a review. Design - This thing is a monstrosity and you'll want to be intentional around carving out some space for this device. I'm indifferent to the way it looks but just know it has PRESENCE. Performance - PS5 is lightening fast. The time it takes to power up and get in the game is silly. Load times are almost an afterthought and the games look gorgeous on the right display *NOTE* PLEASE make sure your TV has an HDMI 2.1 port or save up for one that does. No reason to not take advantage of next-gen tech and the higher refresh rates! User Interface - this is where I dock 1-star. The menu system is a significant departure from the previous gen. That's not inherently bad but the experience doesn't feel user-friendly. I wonder if the same folks who design menus for their Alpha-series mirrorless cameras are also behind the PS5 menu? I have a hard time believing anyone even considered returning this console - it's that good! Outside of a lackluster menu system, this console feel like and acts like a next gen system.
