    All I can say is excellent work Sony. Ever since I received it I haven’t stopped playing it. I’ve been going back to some ps4 games that I’ve missed and they just run so much faster it’s great. And some even have upgraded textures and higher frame rates. So it’s just a great experience. I would highly recommend picking one up.

    Awesome console. I can finally put away my ps4 console unlike the ps3. The only downside is the disc drive is on the bottom of the console, so sometimes the actual console gets in the way from taking out a disc. Other than that one flaw, I definitely recommend for retail price, but try to resist buying from resellers. Good luck.

    So far so great... with some nitpicks

    I am one of the lucky ones who got a preorder in right after the big Sony price announcement event. My ps5 is about to turn one month and I’m 100% blown away by it. The lightning fast loading times on ps4 titles and NO loading time on ps5 titles is very nice, the 4K is beautiful. But... the dualsense controller is THE game changer here. I can go into the controller for daysss but instead I will say that Astros playroom comes installed with every ps5.. PLAY IT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF. My nit picks are that we are testing the new console and I can tell because at first, I did experience random crashes and weird sounds the console makes, but they have since been working on patches for everything and as of today Everything has been smooth sailing . Another nitpick is the design of the console itself.. not a fan.. but to each his own. Also, Best Buy Curbside pickup was a breeze but they did give me a damaged box.. looks like someone punched a hole right into it but thankfully just hit the carton inserts inside and none of the product itself. Don’t pay scalper prices and get ready for THE next generation whenever it comes back in stock!

    Powerful machine! Easy to use, and set-up was a breeze. It’s everything you’d expect from PlayStation. UI is intuitive and a nice evolution from PS4. The only negative is the lack of true PS5 games, but the backwards compatibility and remasters make up for this slightly. Looking forward to the next few months of new games.

    The PS5 is a great piece of kit. The SSD is a game-changer with super-fast bootup and load times. The UI is snappier than the previous-gen, but is missing a lot of features. Hopefully, they are quick with the updates to fix it. The real next-gen is the controller. The dual sense is a game-changer if the devs use it correctly.

    The PlayStation 5 so far so good the new vibration on the controller is just sick and so sweet it almost feels like you and the controller is one. Another feature I love is how you can download all or most of PS4 games and play them on the PS5. Also I love the new design on the PlayStation 5 it really looks nice.

    PS5 wasn't all it was cracked up to be! Honestly nothing that much different from PS4 but the upload speed. Was happy to finally get one though. Hate the controller and runs out of space quick. COD, COD Coldwar, NBA2k and Fifa and already full.

    Not much to say the PS5 load times are insanely fast compared to the PS4 and pro. Picture insane Runs quiet. Only drawbacks: The controller battery life is not as good as the ps4 controllers Ps5 has no optical output No external SSD that you can run games off (yet) Its great, when you find it, get it!

    Blazing fast SSD, top tier exclusive games, and futuristic design put the PS5 as the best and easiest choice for next-gen console gaming. The system is the predecessors of the best selling console of last generation (PS4) and I have no doubt Sony will continue to deliver with great content for many years to come on PS5

    Console is larger than I expected & the base does not attach firmly when setting it up with a horizontal orientation. The horizontal position seems much more secure. The new interface is appealing/has a clean & fresh theme. New controller has a better feel than the dualshock 4. Only played Cyberpunk so far & im loving it!

    The graphics are great, but the speed is what impressed me. Minimal load times and you can jump right back(no load time) into your game after the ps5 was in sleep mode. Playing cyberpunk 2077 and not having any slowdown between severing of the city is nice. The about of objects they can get onscreen clearly is impressive.

    I decided to get the digital edition instead of the disc one since I don’t really like discs that much. I’ve gotta say, games look absolutely stunning on this thing and the load times are near instant on some games.

    What can I say, that hasn't already been said? This console just has so much power, and amazing list of features. A great upgrade from the previous version (PS4). I currently use it for gaming, as well as bedroom media console. Love the new design as well, a very futuristic looking device.
