    Great improvement when compared to my base model ps4. Graphics, speed and new controller are great. New controller definitely adds a new dimension to the games that utilize its features. Would have liked a bigger hard drive and more compact design. Overall happy with the PS5

    What can I say the graphics a definitely are an upgrade from the PS4. The controller feels great in my hands, the new triggers feed back is amazing when playing shooters. Play the included game to get us to the new controls. The system is the size of a small to midsize PC. Setup was very easy to do if you owned a PS4 and have the PlayStation app to sign into your account. You also can install a game when your setting up the console so you can start playing right away.

    The PS5 Digital is edition is excellent for those not wanting to deal with discs and physical copies laying about. While the space is currently limited as of this review in March 2021, in a few weeks we will be receiving an update to expand the storage and fully unlocking the storage limits. This is a full PS5, nothing at the half mark and just lacking a disc drive. Excellent games out now, and excellent games to come in the future, you can't go wrong with PS5

    Great system, have been grinding out Demon Souls like a mad man, i havent rage quit despite it being very difficult. Ergonomics of the new PS5 controller is great, i love the haptic feedback from it. the system itself doesnt sound like a jet engine when playing games like the ps4 and ps4 pro did. only complaint is that the color is white, i wanted a more muted color scheme, but i ended up just ordering custom plates for the consoule. def would buy again

    Transformative Console

    Incredible console - I think its best days are ahead since the only game I've played is AC Valhalla and it's been buggy. Astro's Playroom (included for free) brilliantly shows off the capabilities of the DualSense controller. Load times are insanely quick and the system is whisper quiet. It doesn't fit in any of my shelves so I placed it adjacent to them, using the stand provided. Definitely a transformative gaming experience and worth the many attempts at purchasing.

    Great Console

    It was worth the wait. Finally secured a PS5 and it was ready for pickup the next week. Overall it has great graphics, runs smoothly, and has way better download speeds than the PS4. It is a bigger console, but it doesn’t make any noise at all. It comes with a stand so the console can stand up, so I wouldn’t recommend buying an aftermarket one. Maybe buy an extra controller if you like playing with friends over. Other than that, it’s a great console overall.

    Best gaming Console

    Best gaming console I’ve ever owned. Was glad to be able to get me one. BB is one of the few stores that allows non bundles. This one I was able to avoid having to subscribe to TT. The haptic feedback on the controllers gives an immersed feel for the games and actions being carried out during gameplay. So far all the games that I’ve got for the console are amazing stories, graphics, & experience

    To be honest, only bought to see if I could get my hands on one and glad I did! Frame rate is greatly improved and the graphics look amazing on Elder Scrolls Online. A little bulkier than the PS4 but runs quieter. Set up was easy and I seen a vast improvement on game downloading time. Love the controller. The grip on the back makes it a lot better to handle and the updated vibration is highly wanted. Overall, best spontaneous purchase I’ve made in awhile.

    Awesome next gen console!!! Love the feel of the new controller and fresh new tech in the controller. It’s so immersive to play a game. I hope we get a PlayStation 6 with even more innovation. Unlike Xbox who just recycles the same product oh and I have always owned Xbox for those of u out there. Sonys design and features killed it. Xbox is fitting with there box and old controller invest in PS5!!!

    Come on guys you already know this thing is awesome! All I will add is be sure your tv supports the latest hdmi 2.0 protocol to get the most out of this machine. What can I say graphics are amazing, loads super fast and the overall experience just screams next gen. From the physical design of the device itself to the newly designed controller it just the hottest piece of electronics out there right now. If u can get your hands on one you won’t be disappointed.
