Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the PlayStation 4's impressive graphics, enjoyable controller, and ease of use. Many also praise its performance and find it to be a good value for the price. However, some customers point out the lack of backwards compatibility with previous PlayStation consoles and disappointingly short battery life of the controller. The absence of a bundled camera was also noted as a drawback by some users.

    Having owned every PlayStation console since the 1, I'm pleases they continually get better. Although backwards compatibility would have been nice. Also would have liked to have free online multiplayer.

    Solid console. First game was COD AV which blew me away. Great integration with services I already use like Amazon and Netflix. Easy access to demos and game purchases. Runs smoothly. Just love it.

    I was convinced to buy a PS4 and I'm very glad I did. The PSN and PlayStation experience is smooth and easy to use. Two wires to plug in and you're done. Great games, no useless features. Recommended.

    We got the PS4 about a month ago and me and my family are having a great time with it. The graphics on some of these game, my goodness. I thought the PS3 was amazing. What a ton of fun this system is.

    Great graphics with fantastic depth quality. Overall good for action gaming. However the online store and functions could use some simplification and updates. Slowly but surely it will be great!!

    The first PS4 I got gave me heating problem even though it was placed in a TV cabinet. The PS4 got over heated and the fan made a sound of a hair blow dryer. Took it back to BestBuy very next day and got it replaced in under 5 minutes with a new piece. It still heats but is better. Had to elevate the console. Got Infamous Second Son and Killzone SF. Pros: The games look gorgeous. The new controller is a ton of fun The hibernate mode's ability to recharge controllers and download games is amazing. Cons: Heating if placed in a compact cabinet PS3 blu ray remote does not pair with PS4 :( No PS4 camera games available :( In all its the most amazing Product. Can't wait for FarCry4 and The Order :) If SONY ever did anything right it was PlayStation......

    Has everything you need and/or want in an entertainment system. Great graphics, great games (with more on the way) make for a great value. Definitely the "NextGen" console to have -- it costs less, has better graphics and has way more exclusive games that you have to have. The only "flaw" would be the relatively short battery life of the controller, an issue which I believe will be resolved in due time by Sony. All in all, well worth the money...every penny of it!

    When you use an older version, you ask yourself how could it get better? Then you get the new system and become baffled at how well it works!

    The new Playstation is a great update to the Playstation family. The new controller is very comfortable and has some great features built in, including the touch sensitive pad. The battery life on the controller seems to go fast, but thankfully with this version you can plug in and charge it while the Playstation is in standby mode, so that helps alleviate that problem. And thankfully, with a recent update, my old PS3 wireless 7.1 headset now works with the system!

    Good Not Great

    Having been extremely disappointed with the PS3 throughout it's lifespan I was happy to see at least some issues have been fixed in the PS4. Most notably is the controller. I love the new controller, except for the thumbstick layout. The triggers are great, the textured grip feels nice, and the concave thumbsticks are a good touch. The negatives are that they still kept the poor layout of the thumbsticks. I have somewhat long fingers and my thumbs will sometimes bump each other since the sticks are so close together. Frustrating. Another negative to the controller is the layout of the options (start) and share (select) buttons. The options button is very annoying to hit because it isn't in a position that feels natural for your thumb to reach. One last comment on the controller: the touch pad is both good and bad. This feature feels extremely gimmicky. I have seen it used really well so far, and also really poorly. For instance; in Tomb Raider you can flick the touch pad up or down to ignite or unequip your torch. Kinda cool I guess. Then you get to your map, which is accessed by clicking this monster touchpad button. Using the touch pad to navigate the map is horrible. I feel like the controller wouldn't be missing much by not having the touch pad. Another gimmick is the light on the controller. This also has some positives and negatives. As you've probably read sometimes it gets annoying playing a dark game and having the glare of your bright light on your controller reflecting off of the tv. I had a few instances where this was kind of bothersome, but not terrible. A great instance of this used properly was also in Tomb Raider. When you pull out your torch the light flickers red and yellow to simulate the torch light. With the lights turned out this is a cool feature. Also in some other games it will turn red when you die. It is interesting at times, but not necessary. As far as the UI goes, I dislike it. It is better than the PS3 by far, but still not great. All of your games and recent apps are all put on one bar, which if you play a lot of different things with the system can get really long. It gets annoying searching this long bar for whichever game you want to play. It desperately needs a way of categorizing things to reduce the amount of time searching. The PS Store is drastically improved. So far I am liking it. This is definitely an improvement over the PS3, but not so huge to feel like a next-gen system. It feels more like PlayStation 3.5. I really hope they take the route that Microsoft took with the 360 and now the X1 by making changes to the UI consistently to stay fresh and upgrade any qualms with it. The PS3 UI pretty much looks exactly the same as it did the first day of released. Please don't let this be the case for the PS4!

    Ps4 has great graphics and is easy to navigate. My 7 year old has no trouble using the system in terms of getting to his games and playing them. Also love the new controler and hate the no backwards compatability.

    I've had my original 1st edition PS3 for a long time and loved it. I definitely enjoy the graphics, details, and performance of PS4 much better. Plus I'm liking PS Plus for the free games.
