    Probably one of the strongest system launches I can remember. Super fast SSD loads content in an instant, slick new UI makes the console “feel” like a next gen piece of hardware, and the new, vastly improved Dual Sense controller rounds out the package. The system launches with a number of solid ways to show off the new system, including the excellent pack in game, Astro’s Playroom, as well as a remade Demon’s Souls, built from the ground up for PS5, and a new friggin’ Spider-Man game! So, yeah ... the system is great!

    I was lucky enough to get myself one. The lack of new PS5 titles early on is as expected. But I'm playing through FF7 Remake and it loads faster and runs smoother. Cant wait for the next gen release of it. I tried running the console on the vertical method and it just....looked too much of a conversation starter. So I installed mine down and it seems to perform just as well so dont feel pressured to have yours sitting vertical. Manual states that temps should not be altered and it supports either way.

    The console is enormous compared to other previous consoles. The controller feels good, there isn’t much difference between the PS4 & PS5 versions. It still plays PS4 games so it’s definitely worth it to wait till they are in stock on the regular. The only thing I see as upside is the load times are extremely short so keeps your play more fluent.

    I am so happy I was able to purchase one in October! My ps4 died on me in August so decided to try for a ps5! I've had a great experience with my ps5 was able to download and play all my games! The PS5 compared to the ps4 is much faster and I love the new dual sense controller! I do have two cons with my experience (4 stars). Number one is the storage. You will definitely need to buy some type of external storage. This being the digital version it will require so much more storage for all your games. Number two is actually the durability and quality of the controller. My controller recently suffered from drifting. I tried some YouTube videos and nothing. I contacted Sony and sent it to be fixed and replaced. I am currently waiting for my controller to be returned to me. As of right now I cannot play any ps5 games since those require a dual sense controller. I can play ps4 games with my dual shock controller. I read online that a lot of people have been experiencing the same problem with their dual sense controller. It's been very disappointing

    I have been waiting to get a PS5 for a long time after trading in my PS4 for Xbox 1 X. The wait is over. And I am not disappointed. Backward combability is amazing. I can play really much all my PS4 games on this bad boy. The graphics are great! I can see all the little details on Spiderman and the Last of US part II. But I am mostly impressed by the load time. I can load most of my games in less than 10 seconds! Sony has really nailed it. You can't build a gaming PC as powerful as PS5 for $500. Highly recommended it!

    If you want an awesome gaming counsel with better graphics than the ps4, an updated controller, updated interface, and access to all of the upcoming sweet looking games than this is the console for you. The only tough part is its hard to purchase. I would recommend pre-loading your info into your best buy account, make a Twitter account, and follow various ps5 stock alert users, and keep your notifications on. When you get a moment notification log into you best buy account asap and try to purchase. Good luck!

    Absolutely phenomenal new console. Importing old PS4 data is a breeze, updates and downloads are fast, load times are non existent on Spiderman: Miles Morales. The only con is the lack of launch titles, but the amount of PS4 games that run better on PS5 is almost worth the price of investment alone. The only downside is this console is massive. It doesn't fit anywhere on my stand vertically, and horizontally it still takes up a lot of space. It was expected, but it's still a big piece of hardware that will stand out.

    Worth the Upgrade

    I’ve had this console for a while, and all I can say is that the experience is amazing. Sony really did a great job including everything in the box, including an HDMI cable, and the quality is insane. The haptic feedback on the dual sense is unlike anything i’ve ever experienced and the little details like the blue lights on the side of the console really add to the experience. In terms of gaming, there are faster load up times compared to the ps4, however graphically it’s about the same.

    Yes it’s slightly bulky, but it’s super quiet and runs very smooth! The main attraction is really going to be the remote control.

    I was lucky to get my hand on this powerful console on February. It still runs smoothly and perform very well (*I have spent at least 20 hours every week since I got it). It is a little bit noisy when I put my disc in, but it runs quietly after 10-15 secs. Definitely worth buying!!! If you have the chance, get the game - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, so you can fully take advantage of haptic feedback. Besides, my controller still runs good- no drifting issues so far.
