    Hands down the best video game console out there. Excellent graphics, quick load screens. No more five second load screens. A little on the expensive side, but I definitely recommend it. Received it on the release date and I absolutely love it, don't think you will be disappointed, enjoy.

    I’ve been buying PlayStations since the original came out. When I got my first PlayStation the first game I got for is was FFVII. Was pretty cool to play the remake when I got the 5. I have the destiny ps4 edition so since they’re both white they got well together.

    Can’t believe I finally got one. After many attempts, certainly lived up to expectations. Games load very quickly, and the new controller is cool. Is a decent amount bigger than the ps4 and thus takes up more space. Big fan, and definitely worth the wait!

    Finally able to buy a PS5 from Best Buy after multiple tries from here and other stores. Using Twitter stock alerts helped a lot, avoid scalpers. PS5 so far so good, great graphics and fast. Looking forward to upcoming games and improvements that PS5 can provide.

    What can I say, Sony nailed it again. You can't get a gaming experience like this anywhere else for just $500, and omg that SSD is gaming changing, that and the controller are part of what makes this a next gen experience. Good luck to everyone trying to get one out there right now!!

    Well worth the money. I love it. The haptic feedback is excellent, the graphics are great, and the best part is games take minutes to download. Not hours. I downloaded a 20G game in 5 minutes while playing another game unlike the PS4 that would take an hour or longer even on rest mode.

    So far very impressed by this console. Instantly saw the advances from the PS4. The DualSense has a lot of possibilities that I’m very excited to see what they do with. Not only a great starting lineup of games, but many PS4 games are getting upgrades for the PS5. Very satisfied.

    I managed to snag one of these babies on a restock just before Christmas and bought it for myself as a present! Was ecstatic since they'd been so hard to find, especially the disc version, which I had to have. Sucks that it only comes with one controller, but that's how it is nowadays. I ponied up for another one later. Also bought a 1TB internal drive that I added to expand the storage -- I'm glad they at least gave us that option this generation. Been working wonderfully so far, and I've gotten used to the new system OS and menu layout coming from the PS4. While I'm not a Sony fanboy, I have been using PlayStation as my console of choice since PS3, and I'm very happy with what the PS5 brings to the table, especially the loading speeds and 4K/HDR.

    My Son Loves His PS5 Console ! Talking about a elusive Lil Sucker after 2 or 3 weeks of failed attempts I got my hands on a few from a store 2 hours a way. Definitely was worth driving to a different location to see the smile on my sons face !!! The things we Moms do for the love our children!!!

    Another win for Sony. I am loving the PS5. The graphics, sound and quality are top notch. Just installed memory expansion, which was super easy to do. Having the capability to play PS 4 games on the 5 is great. My only criticism is price.

    Sony PS5 Review

    In my opinion, the PS5 Console with Disc Drive that I purchased is stunning, to say the least, not to mention the artistic design is original and appealing. With its blazingly fast SSD, games load so quickly and the features that the complete overhaul of the UI, makes the life of the gamer easier. While simultaneously improving the overall immersion courtesy of key new technologies like the innovative DualSense controller, 3D audio, and hardware-accelerated raytracing. It also, plays practically every PS4 game from a bulging back catalog, meaning that the previous platform has not been left behind. I do wish the Internal storage space were larger but, according to Sony, there will be Storage Chips available in 2021 that will facilitate that. The DualSense controller makes the most of the opportunities that a new console generation provides, it's simply innovative to say the least. I don't have time to go into the rest of my review there are simply too many.

    Great new design. Fantastic UI in the dashboard. It’s bigger than I expected in person. Very lucky to get one on launch day. The only thing I don’t like are the white controllers - it looks great but gets dirty very fast. The white console doesn’t look as dusty as a darker console.

    this console is definitely worth the wait. the UI and experience is so smooth, and the specs are fantastic (and the dual sense controller is too cool with all of its features). Even if you don’t have that many ps5 games yet, the console will make your ps4 games look amazing.

    Great system, was able to get one just in time to play horizon forbidden west. Before that I’ve been plying the Witcher 3 and even last generation games look beautiful, not to mention the faster loading speeds in big games like the Witcher.

    MY GOD, im someone who is lucky enough to snag a new playstation every launch, and i must say this is the best playstation by far, graphics 10/10, Speed 10/10, design 10/10. If you are able to find any in stock, this is a no brainer purchase for playstations or gaming fans in general.

    Worked perfectly and still works almost 2 years later with no issues. I’ve never had a problem with it. It even fell off my wall Mount once (at least 6ft in the air) and it didn’t get a scratch and didn’t affect it at all, so it’s clearly built pretty well and tough.

    I was hesitant to spend this much on a console but since they're so hard to get and I was able to snag an online order after a Twitter alert, I couldn't pass up the opportunity. The speed and graphics are clear strong points of the PS5.

    I gotta say Playstation 5 is one of the best consoles evere. I love the new controller and its haptic feedback, Microsoft should take notes so they can improve their next console and step up their games. I also love how quick the new games load now. Overall, best one so far !!!
