    Excellent system. The controller is much more noticeable than you'd think, and raytracing is a great addition. As someone who plays most games on PC, I was very excited that some of these amazing PlayStation exclusives would have RT, as these games are already phenomenal. I'm very excited to see what a company like Naughty Dog can do with some of their exclusives on a snappy system like this. I must say the disk is worth it if you can afford the extra money. I had a digital edition on launch, but I was sad on missing out on tons of physical games deals, so I got a physical and sold my digital to a friend at cost. I also love that at least for PS4, last gen games can just be put in the disc, no questions asked. Just wish they would do the same for PS3 and PS2.

    PlayStation definitely didn’t disappoint with this one. Graphics are amazing the controller feels are amazing. I can only imagine what the next gen of gaming will bring. I hope they bring out VR for the ps5 as well.

    Hands down the best console ever made. This thing is fast, efficient, and user friendly. The graphics difference in just 1 generation is incredible. Cant recommend the ps5 enough to anyone interested.

    The PS5 is great -- if you can get one

    The PS5 is great. It's super fast compared to last gen consoles (thanks to the faster CPU, GPU, and SSD), it's very quiet (you'll occasionally hear the disc drive whirring, but the fan is so quiet, that's about it), and PS5 games look amazing. PS4 games often look and run better too, and it runs virtually all of them. The new controller is impressive -- it feels great and it's new rumble and pressure-sensitive triggers feel revolutionary. The trick is finding a PS5 still -- get on twitter, enable push notifications, and follow the tracker accounts (such as Wario64) to hear about console drops. Then, get on your store of choice and work fast. You may get lucky, as I did.

    Waited so long for this and it was well worth it. I don’t know how I got lucky to get one, but I did! So if you’re waiting for one just know you’re in for it. Graphics are great and the dual shock on the controller is awesome!

    A Smooth Gaming Experience

    I have been a big time Xbox player forever. I purchased this purely for some of the PS exclusives. Playing Demon's Souls, you can instantly see the dramatic difference in picture quality. The console is packed with so much power which allows for a smooth gaming experience. It instantly reacts when launching games and navigating the menu. My only complaint is the size. It's huge! As someone who doesn't want to use the Playstation 5 as a display piece, I find this size annoying. I can't tuck it out of sight.

    Going from the PS4 to the PS5 is definitely a next-gen jump for me. From the 4K graphics, 4K gameplay recording to the dual sense controller and the exclusives, this console is definitely worth it and exceeded my expectations!

    Love it! Super fast, very quiet (unless it's reading a disc), and so far I haven't noticed any overheating issues. It's a lot bigger than my previous PS4 Pro, but I'm not going to complain about it. Would definitely buy again!

    The games are excellent and so much fun. The console itself can be very appealing in some setups but is very large so is not for everyone. Picture quality and loading speeds are outstanding.

    Got lucky to get one of these. Hopefully more people can get their hands on one soon because the PS5 is great. The new controller is a game changer and gone are the days where you feel like the game takes a day to load.

    This Console is just unbelievable. The Dualsence brings gaming to another level and the sleek design of the PS5 is great. It runs fast and is exclamation point for next gen systems. Ordering process for me was awesome as well!!

    It’s the PlayStation 5

    The PlayStation 5 has been a significant upgrade to its predecessor. It’s a fast console with some enjoyable exclusives already out and able to be played. There’s not much to say about it’s third-party performance, but if you are only getting one nex-gen console and are in love with games like Horizon, God of War, or Ratchet and Clank, then you’ll be happy with the PS5. I would recommend waiting until a model comes out with larger storage though, or when more first party titles release.

    So far this system is performing well. Only game I've played so far is the packing game. It gives the history if the Playstation consoles, and highlights the features of the controller. Nice co sole and very stylish. Fast too.

    Overall it is a very good system. Multiple games have glitched out and need software patches. One game, we had to completely delete and reinstall in order to fix. Love the haptic feedback controllers. Fast load times.
