    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.

    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

    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.

    Aside from not being able to stick them adequately, PlayStation 5 has been a great win for Sony. The exclusives are amazing and growing rapidly. The graphics are truly awesome. And the new controller has been such an improvement over the PS4 controller especially if you have giant hands like me. One of the main reasons I primarily used my Xbox One instead of PlayStation 4 was the ergonomics of the Xbox One controller. Well things have changed anc I now truly enjoy using the new DualSense controller.

    PS5 RULES

    Was an Xbox boi for years, finally made the switch cause I couldn’t find an Xbox in stock, at first I was like “what did I do!?!?”, took me about 6 days to fall head over ankles completely in love with it. The load screens are so short, you can’t even read the “tips” they sometimes display quick enough. The graphics are beautiful, and the way it syncs up to your tv, coming on automatically when turning on tv with remote or turning off when setting tv on a sleep timer, it’s a beautiful thang.

    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.

    So glad to finally have gotten my hands on this. It is definitely a much needed upgrade. It processes faster and I’m still able to play a couple of the games I had with the older model. I also got an extra controller which is essential. It was easy to assemble but does take up more space so I had to reconfigure my set-up a bit. Would recommend upgrading your tv as well to get the full impact of the specs. The wait was long and arduous but it was worth it!

    Best system ever created, bar none. This system sets the standard, and is consistently sold out for a reason.
