It’s very fast, graphics are awesome, and I love the selection of games. The only thing I can find wrong with it is that even though it supports Bluetooth for its controllers, does not support Bluetooth for any type of wireless headphones so you have to use wired headphones that plug into the controller or get wireless headphones that have an adapter that can be inserted to the ps5.

Controllers - solid, nice triggers, nice haptics, tap sticks etc, very well built
PS5 - built well, gets too hot, great graphics for the price and overall a good buy.
disc drive - not worth it, nothing is read from discs and digital version is probably a better buy, hence the one star down

It does that very well, also runs everything else I’ve played on it perfectly. Haven’t had any issues. Pretty sure the box said it had like 800 Gigs and only had like 600 something but I don’t know much ab how all that stuff works so that’s probably just a me thing. Definitely recommend. Switching from a very old Xbox One that ab dies trying to run the Sims 4 so it’s a great improvement lol

I'm a big Sony buff when it comes to gaming. I had the PS4 Pro for 3 years, and delayed getting the PS5 due to not many exclusives for some time, as well as the inventory issue. Well, finally PS5s are much easier to get without going through scalpers, and I'm so glad I did! The PS5 is just an awesome console. All PS4 exclusives look and play way better on the PS5 (Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, Horizon, etc.), but the real star is the newly redesigned controller. Not only is better to hold in the hand, but the adaptive triggers are an absolute game changer! I thought they were a gimmick when I read about them, but I'm glad I was so wrong! They really do immerse you so much more in games like COD, Horizon, etc. If you get invited to buy a PS5, then I highly recommend that you do buy it! I would also recommend buying some skates for the PS5 and keep it horizontally, and also consider buying a 2TB storage soon after buying it.

the ps5 is a good console for your average gamer, plus the fact you can add extra storage by removing the covers and installing an ssd is great! the customizability of the covers too adds a more of a personal touch to make the ps5 feel like its yours. the adaptive triggers in the controller and design itself is also fire

I had been gaming on my regular ps4 with an external hard drive for quite a while and eventually I started not liking game anymore because of how ling everything took to load and the looks of games no longer made me feel excited. When I managed to get the ps5 and started to play some games the loading times were fast. It all really just depends on what game you ate actully playing though. Some ps4 games have long intros you cant skip so the loading didnt really seem faster in that situation. Although when I was playing Horizon Zero Dawn the loading time was slightly faster. I didnt time it but it did feel a bit faster but once I got in game is where the ps5 blew me away. Ive been so use to 30 fps that once I moved my camera a bit to the right I was freaking out. From the looks of it I was getting a higher resolution than 1080p and the frame rate was at least 60 fps. It had to be. When I looked around the world the camera turned so smooth I was ecstatic. Not only that though, when Alloy started walking I could tell the difference in the way she ran on the ps5 vs the ps4 it was night and day clear difference. The whole world looked even better which astonished me because I thought it looked nice on the ps4 but on the ps5 it looked breathtaking. It felt like a completely different game. One thing I will add on top of all of this is that when I put my hand near the ps5 I felt cool air coming out of it and only towards the back of the ps5 where all the hdmi and all the other ports are it felt slightly warm. That I was not expecting. Hopefully that means that the ps5 was built to last. I could say so much more but at this point Id just be repeating myself which wouldnt make much sense because everything ive said already shows that the ps5 is next gen.

The PS5 is a powerful gaming console. I love the immersive DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. While the base model is a great value, the PS5 offers superior performance, especially in enhanced games, but its benefits may not be significant for everyone.

Best Current Generation Console

Out of the two next generation options, PlayStation cements itself as the option for people who actually play video games. The Xbox is fine, but PlayStation has first party titles worth playing. Not to mention it’s the best way to explore the vast catalog of PlayStation 4 titles. Great system but during slow months it can feel like nothing of note is releasing. The Controller is awesome, it feels like a true evolution over the DualShock 4. The triggers can tighten to feel like shooting a bow or a web like in Spider-Man 2.

The PlayStation 5 is an absolute powerhouse, delivering an unmatched gaming experience that pushes the boundaries of what console gaming can achieve. From its stunning graphics and lightning-fast loading times to its immersive DualSense controller and extensive game library, the PlayStation 5 is a true game-changer.

PS5 is very cool and interesting console. When I bought PS5 via particular Best Buy store and I immediately playing on PS5 however, the storage capacity and controller is satisfactory to me. Performance seems like very much better than PS4 was. I recommend everyone to get PS5.

Awesome gaming system and experience! 4k Graphics with HDR performance! Can't go wrong with Sony! Worth every penny! I gave four stars for storage because Sony could have put in a larger hard drive stock (under 700Gb?) but of course they want your money. At least there is the SSD upgrade option.

I purchased this PS5 for my nephew as a graduation gift from High School. It was the perfect gift. It plays smooth and the graphics are amazing. If you are looking for a gaming console for yourself or as a gift I recommend the New Sony PS5! You can’t go wrong!
