    I am so glad I purchased this product because it is very easy to use, definitely very entertaining. The only downside I can think of is the price. But overall, I am so happy with my purchase.

    Though it was a pain to get, the Playstation 5 is pretty great. Playing it side by side with my PS4 Pro, it is so much faster and more fluid. The controller's battery is ok, seems to run low pretty quickly. You have to change the settings for the feedback in vibration, for triggers, and the rest.

    Naturally the PS5 is a healthy power jump over the PS4 Pro, but if you're all about the best graphics, can't get your head around gaming on PC, and are platform agnostic, it's also worth considering the most powerful console on the market today, the Xbox Series X.

    GET THE DISC VERSION - you will SAVE MONEY!

    On the surface there is a $100 difference between the E-version and the disc version. The E-version was the only one I could get my hands on so I was appreciative to get what I could. That being said, keep in mind that while there certainly are benefits to using a disc-less electronic version of the PS5, one major, expensive con - is the cost of games. I can almost always find the games I want on sale or at some sort of substantial discount at my local Walmart, Target, BB, Amazon. The PS store is horrible, treterous if you will, at providing meaningful discounts. For example, right now I can get current year Madden and NBA games for $30/ea. If I want Madden for PS5 - I have to pay the $99 version. NBA - $70. So as of today, $170 for two games vs $60 plus some tax. The $100 up front savings between the two just doesn't cut it for me. The PS5 E-version would be amazing value if PS Store would match sales of their distributors.

    Worth it in every sense...hard to pick up a PS4 again. The speed of everything (games, apps, streaming) is as advertised. It took me more than a month to finally get one, so glad it happened. To me, its every bit as good as the Xbox Series X which I have as well...booth machines are equally amazing.

    Was finally able to get my hands on the "rare" Playstation 5 at retail price. As I previously owned a Playstation 4, I was very excited to get hold of the new next-gen console. Off the bat, I was very happy to see and experience the new Sony technology and features that was offered in this console.

    Great console with great games, Spiderman Miles Morales was a great launch tittle, Astro playroom really shows the capabilities of the new controller, the OS is fast and the controller feels great while playing, if you like Sony exclusives and want to also play good third party games then PS5 is for you

    Once I snagged one of these playstation 5 consoles within a few short days I was able to pick it up from my local Best Buy and was extremely satisfied with how simple the process was. Not to mention the console was in excellent shape. 10/10 would definitely recommend

    Truly a fast tank. A few growing pains (2nd player controller freezes up occasionally, no folders or themes in UI, controller buttons for L1/R1 are a lil big, backwards compatible games will try to download last gen version every time you turn on console if you don’t turn off automatic downloads, inside of console is EASILY scratched upon removal of panels, and last-ish but not least, Not all functions (screen share, broadcast, twitch, & more party functions) are backwards compatible.), but it has massive potential to be the greatest PlayStation console to date. A beautiful path has been laid, but it’s going to have to fill up some of the holes so we can run instead of walk. -The Pelican

    To get to the point, it’s an amazing device. Not only do you have innovative device on your hands, but it also come with a charming software called Astro’s playroom that effectively highlights the controller and console’s strengths. If it weren’t so hard to obtain, I’d recommend people to get it now.

    Absolutely love this console. Big upgrade over my launch ps4 which was definitely showing its age. Games load quickly and the UI is very snappy. Love the new controller as well. Its a little on the bulky side in terms of system design, but it still manages to look futuristic and sleek.

    Love it, the new UI is sleek and it does everything so fast compared to the PS4 and PS4 Pro. Wish Sony did a Black model as well but I'll grab some plates online, can't wait til they release colors of the DualSense, the white seems like it'll get discolored if you don't clean it regularly.

    Welcome to next gen! Was lucky enough to get in a launch day in-store preorder and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The Dual Sense is a game changer, and the pack-in Astrobot game gives you a taste of all the cool things the controller can do. Demon's Souls and Miles Morales are must haves!
