    Finally After Weeks & Months of Trying...

    I was finally fortunate enough to get one of these in my car and I don’t think I’ve ever been happier to spend $500! Say what you will, but I love the unique spaceship design of this console! But underneath the hood, the specs for are incredible as loading times are little to none with stunning graphics and ray tracing. Also, the technology behind the controller definitely takes things to the next level! Make sure you play Astro’s Playroom as it displays the full potential of this next gen controller. I love my PS5!

    Exactly what I wanted. Graphics are amazing, machine runs smooth, and load screens are basically non-existant

    Loving the use of this system so far. Quicker load times and smoother graphics. So far, I've used it to play the Astro game that was included and Planet coaster. It streams videos nicely as well. We had no issues with transferring data from our old ps4, but it did take a while. What I do like is that you can be signed into your PS account simultaneously with another system with another TV. We could not do that solely on the PS4. That is definitely a step up. PS4 games play on it fine as well. Well worth the investment!

    Wow. Me personally I prefer consoles when it comes to gaming, and the PS5 did not disappoint. I recommend everyone that has the opportunity to purchase one to take the time to play Astro's Playroom, it shows you how the PS5 works and it features in a very entertaining way. Then make yourself a favor and install an M.2 SSD because PS5 games take a lot of space, and while you are at it plug in an external HDD so you can install and play all your digital PS4 games.

    Probably one of the strongest system launches I can remember. Super fast SSD loads content in an instant, slick new UI makes the console “feel” like a next gen piece of hardware, and the new, vastly improved Dual Sense controller rounds out the package. The system launches with a number of solid ways to show off the new system, including the excellent pack in game, Astro’s Playroom, as well as a remade Demon’s Souls, built from the ground up for PS5, and a new friggin’ Spider-Man game! So, yeah ... the system is great!

    Outside of the bulkiness in size, I am satisfied with the purchase. This thing is massive, first gen PS3 massive. The adaptive controls are a nice new feature, as well as the faster load times. I was lucky to get one of these after months of not being able to, only to hear that a new design is coming out. A great improvement from the PS4.

    I was lucky enough to get myself one. The lack of new PS5 titles early on is as expected. But I'm playing through FF7 Remake and it loads faster and runs smoother. Cant wait for the next gen release of it. I tried running the console on the vertical method and it just....looked too much of a conversation starter. So I installed mine down and it seems to perform just as well so dont feel pressured to have yours sitting vertical. Manual states that temps should not be altered and it supports either way.

    I have been waiting to get a PS5 for a long time after trading in my PS4 for Xbox 1 X. The wait is over. And I am not disappointed. Backward combability is amazing. I can play really much all my PS4 games on this bad boy. The graphics are great! I can see all the little details on Spiderman and the Last of US part II. But I am mostly impressed by the load time. I can load most of my games in less than 10 seconds! Sony has really nailed it. You can't build a gaming PC as powerful as PS5 for $500. Highly recommended it!

    The console is enormous compared to other previous consoles. The controller feels good, there isn’t much difference between the PS4 & PS5 versions. It still plays PS4 games so it’s definitely worth it to wait till they are in stock on the regular. The only thing I see as upside is the load times are extremely short so keeps your play more fluent.

    If you want an awesome gaming counsel with better graphics than the ps4, an updated controller, updated interface, and access to all of the upcoming sweet looking games than this is the console for you. The only tough part is its hard to purchase. I would recommend pre-loading your info into your best buy account, make a Twitter account, and follow various ps5 stock alert users, and keep your notifications on. When you get a moment notification log into you best buy account asap and try to purchase. Good luck!

    Absolutely phenomenal new console. Importing old PS4 data is a breeze, updates and downloads are fast, load times are non existent on Spiderman: Miles Morales. The only con is the lack of launch titles, but the amount of PS4 games that run better on PS5 is almost worth the price of investment alone. The only downside is this console is massive. It doesn't fit anywhere on my stand vertically, and horizontally it still takes up a lot of space. It was expected, but it's still a big piece of hardware that will stand out.

    I’ve had this console for a while, and all I can say is that the experience is amazing. Sony really did a great job including everything in the box, including an HDMI cable, and the quality is insane. The haptic feedback on the dual sense is unlike anything i’ve ever experienced and the little details like the blue lights on the side of the console really add to the experience. In terms of gaming, there are faster load up times compared to the ps4, however graphically it’s about the same.
