    Very advanced and futuristic. Way quicker than the original ps4. Doesn’t have any new games yet but definetly worth the upgrade. It is pricy but worth the money.

    The console itself is great! You get the power you need, especially for your PS4 backlog. While still early in this next-gen, you aren't going to have that many proper PS5 games. Still, if you're a PlayStation gamer, you will love Sony's offerring here.

    Runs Too Hot

    This is a great console however it runs very hot. I have it on a shelf by itself and it constantly gets so hot that it shuts off on its own and the only way to turn it back on is to unplug for 10 sec. and plug back in. It affects gameplay the sound starts to echo, the movement on the characters slows down, the screen starts to flash bright lights. Then it turns off. It's ridiculous that for such a new system this is the case. The PS4 never had that issue.

    Kid loves it!!! He sold his old system and a bunch of his other stuff and paid for it with his own money. Oddly shaped and much bigger than previous system. Have to lay it down because standing it up is not much of an option with most entertainment centers.

    Got this as a gift for my nephew, he did not want the disc version and wanted the slimmer look of the digital. I was able to get this for him and he was very happy with this gift. It runs great and looks so great on a LG C1

    I have been trying since 11/12/20 to purchase one. One failure after another. Until 11/22/20 at 4:30am, BestBuy Online changed my dreams to reality. I had purchased a new 4K television to get the full affect of the graphics. This is a Whole New World to me.

    Finally a launch console that has a ton of games to play. Sure they’re a lot of ps4 games but compared to every other past console, these come with performance upgrades like playing something old on an upgraded pc. Truly a great buy if you never owned a PS4Pro

    I was lucky to finally get the PS5 and I’m very pleased with it. It was definitely worth the wait. It is so much faster than the PS4 pro which I love as well. If anyone is on the fence about upgrading like I was it is definitely worth it.

    An incredible value

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If you’re reading this and on the fence, just buy one of these as soon as stock is available near you. This was my first PlayStation and I am so impressed with it. $400 for a 4K gaming powerhouse is an excellent value, especially considering a new 4K capable PC graphics card with ray tracing support will set you back even more. At the end of the day, you’re gonna love this thing. There are so many PlayStation exclusives to play and they look outstanding. All you need to know ahead of time is this console is massive. Imagine how big you think the PS5 is in your head. Got an idea? Yeah, it’s bigger than that. It’s going to draw attention in your living room because it is a giant white UFO that lights up. I’m personally a fan, but be prepared if the aesthetics aren’t to your liking. You’ll get over it though with all the fun you’ll be having playing it. Best of luck finding one.

    I bought this for my son for his birthday who’s been wanting one ever since it came out. Very hard to get these PS5’s so I’m glad to have gotten lucky from BestBuy. Next gen gaming to the next level and we love everything about the PS5!

    5 stars because BB says no to scalpers and only sells the PS5 at MSRP! * Pros: It's a Playstation 5, of course! Next gen games. * Cons: It's huge and you'll struggle to find a good place to put this in your TV room.

    It's pretty neat. The controller is fantastic, the games play well, though I don't have an OLED to see just how great it looks. Currently enjoying it but I don't like that I can't move all PS4 games to the internal ssd or PS5 games to an external drive. The size of the ssd with the lack for expansion will also going to be a huge problem soon. The UI is nice but changing the way the home button works in the PS5 as opposed to the PS4 is still confusing, i.e. holding the button to turn it off/set too rest/etc. as opposed to going to the hub dashboard. Hopefully that gets updated soon.

    Pricey and limited game selection but should be a really nice platform once the game library develops. Strong performance and graphics.

    This is true next generation of console gaming. The expandable ssd will be a welcome feature once available. It just feels fast from the moment you first boot it up. Paired the best controller of this generation you truly get a piece of brilliant engineering.

    After two years, this is still a great system. I've had no issues with it. The storage on this edition fills up quickly with the large games of today, but I don't miss having disks.

    Sony’s PlayStation 5 is a serious upgrade to any console gamers setup. From load times as fast as a few seconds to the visual fidelity available, as well as higher and more consistent frame rates, Sony’s latest gaming hardware is truly something to behold.

    One of the best consoles Sony has ever produced. The menu is much more condensed and extremely easy to navigate, the aesthetic of the console is simply amazing, loading screens are a thing of a past, and the graphics on Ps5 games are beyond amaIng quality.

    I’m loving the PS5!!! I got both this and the Xbox Series X and while I enjoy the new Xbox, PlayStation is where it’s at. The new UI is really nice and the controller really is a game changer. Everything about it is really unique and new. Worth every penny!
