    I've owned everything from the original to the now Playstation 5. I am impressed beyond explanation. Many folks complaining that there are not enough games available to make it worth the purchase... yeah, you haven't played Spider Miles Morales yet have you? Also... I can play all my Playstation 4 games on it, with less load times, and with better graphics processing and no glitching. Yeah the controller needs charged more often, but who cares, get those steps in. Was it difficult to purchase? YES, had to try 5 times over 4 months to get this (granted I chose only to buy from BestBuy... always will); hint, use OctoShop in Chrome. Thanks BestBuy! You guys always have my six.

    Next gen speeds but previous gen storage capacity

    The first thing you’ll notice is the Uber quick console startup speeds and game startups. The console gives off a next generation feel with the new dualsense controller and added haptic feedback, although not many games utilize the many features yet. The one thing is the capacity on the ssd is lacking so unless you have an external hard drive for ps4 games or play few ps5 games, then you’ll find yourself running out of space fairly quickly.

    I’m not sure how I was even able to buy this, I went on Best Buy on launch day to buy an RTX 3080, those were impossible and timing out, PS5 was released the same day, after buying the gpu was not possible I went to just check on the PS5 and it allowed me to add it to my cart. Literally had a 5 minutes conversation with my wife before buying because I wasn’t planning on getting one to begin with and went for it, and somehow the transaction went through. It was surreal the day I picked it up because so many issues with orders were happening everyone, this purchase was nothing less than pure luck. I love this console, and I’m happy I bought it.

    I've been stuck playing far too often nowadays, even games Ive previously beaten due to the enhanced performance/graphics. Looking forward to the games that push the hardware to its limits

    The PS5 is a true generational leap, offering incredibly fast load times and an innovative new controller that can change the way games feel.

    I mean...do I really need to write anything! This is the next generation of gaming! The graphics look A M A Z I N G & I love the feature of being able to play 120 FPS consistently for Cold War. I wish every game could be that way but unfortunately it’s only for games that support the 120 FPS. I’ve been playing more on my PC when it comes to competitive gaming but for a relaxing day go kick back and watch a movie or play some single-player games! It’s definitely worth it! Especially if your budget is this price as custom or pre-built PC’s can be quite expensive. Overall, it’s an AWESOME console and it’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to grab one if they’re lucky!

    Finally got mine, and it's great! The 4k and generally faster speeds are quite noticeable. I'm also waaaay more impressed with the controllers than I would have imagined!

    If you’re a PS fan this is an obvious purchase. Looks great and most game are now 60 FPS. The new controller is more than just a niche. You’ll have to try to understand, very impressive though.

    Why do we even rate this console? Nothing can compare. The PS5 is ridiculously fast. The controller adds to the game play, especially in Madden 21 when you hear the QB calling plays before snap.

    Honestly, what do you expect? It's next-gen. The console itself to begin with looks like some type of alien object that's casually placed in your living room. The controller is fantastic, much bigger so it can grip in my hands properly now. I always liked the PS4 controller but now holding this I can see how much less of a controller it is compared to the PS5's. Lastly, you honestly won't get the full next-gen experience​ until HDMI 2.1 4k monitors come out that runs over 120hz. So if money is a little tight I​ would wait till it dies down. Not worth paying over retail for this console. So if you were thinking of buying it from those scalpers don't.

    First off, the controller is the coolest thing I have seen in awhile. Get one and play Astro's playroom. It blew my mind. The console looks like a space ship and definitely feels next gen, Love it

    Works much faster than my old PS4. Strongly recommend to purchase the digital version to save you $100, since most of my games can be downloaded online. It’s a little too big as far as size.

    Quality build. Fast SSD. Haven’t experienced any controller issues yet. Ray tracing is legit, and makes games feel 10x more immersive, especially when paired with a capable tv or monitor.

    Best bang for your bucks as far as performance when you compare it to other systems including pc gaming. The controller is the best in the market.

    Super fast, whisper quiet, much improved controller. What else could you ask for from a next Gen console!? How about looks that are out of this world!? Yep that too! The best of the best consoles.
