    A true next-gen experience. Where do I start? The new Dualsense controller is the crown jewel. The haptic feedback paired with adaptive triggers is an unmatched experience not found on any other system. I highly recommend trying the new Dualsense controller with Spider-Man or Astro’s playroom. The console is amazing with a HDMI 2.1 monitor or TV. 4K and 120FPS is a truly breathtaking experience.

    Amazing console. The load times are fast and the games look really good! The UI is different but not bad takes some time getting used to but the console is great. The Disc version is the way to go if you want the the full experience and save space. Sony has really put next gen in this console and the new games will show it. Demons souls 4K if you have a capable player. https://youtu.be/Un7az4CkXUc

    I can only say that as long as Sony and PlayStation continue with their exclusives, you will have a great system for videogames during the next 7+ years. It is a plus to be able to play my entire PS4 game library on the system. The PS5 is really fast and has excellent graphics for the newer games. I only hope developers take advantage of this graphics as soon as they can.

    Great system! I was a huge gamer and had owned every console up to now. You cant go wrong with any of the next gen consoles. Amazing graphics but not a huge jump compared to the previous consoles and more importantly the load times are amazing! The load times was the main reaoson i wanted to upgrade. I definitely recommend if you can snag one.

    It is absolutely worth all the trouble of getting! Such amazing speed! My ps4 back then took 13 hours to download warzone whereas my ps5 took half the time! The graphics are amazing as well even on my crappy tv. The controller is the thing that amazed me the most! Walking through a sandstorm actually feels like you’re walking through a sandstorm when you’re holding the controller. Absolutely amazing!

    The Next Gen...Is Still Coming Soon

    If you're looking to stay competitive in the console wars, this is the armament you need. Sony has once again delivered a sleek, powerful machine capable of playing the best games in the business. That said...well, there are some things you should know. First of all, there has been a MASSIVE issue with supply shortages, bots snatching up inventory, and chip shortages halting production. It appears we are getting away from those problems, but getting your hands on a console can still be a hassle. I was fortunate that Best Buy has found a few ways around the bots and scalpers. As for the console itself, it is a LARGE machine. It is also a unique and strange shape, so check your measurements for your entertainment center. The biggest question mark on a purchase is the current lineup of games. Right now, we are at the beginning of this console generation, even a year into the launch. That means there really isn't a "killer app" to sell you on a $500 purchase. However, there are some major titles in the works coming just next year, so your wait won't be long. If you're reading a review on a PS5, you're probably gonna get one. It's a forgone conclusion. If you really want one, just be patient and persistent. Your time will come. Play carefully.

    Amazing graphics and smooth game play!! Definitely a great quiet running console. The PS5 is a bit longer/taller, depending on how you position the system, than the PS4. Best Buy did great for its launch. I waited to try to get one of these during one of their releases before Christmas. I managed to get it in my cart and what made it harder for bots to buy was the verification code the sent by email.

    Bought this for my kids. They love it. Said the system is faster and looks great. They prefer this game system over the Xbox that we have, which seems very slow in comparison. Now my husband is also hooked. Thanks PlayStation! Lol

    Well still hard to get at the time of this review. This was easy to setup and get going, i was able to transfer my data from my ps4 with ease and get my PS5 going no problem. The new gui took a little getting used to but i totaly love it now. Wish sony would get its act together and recomend some drive for expansion, I've filled up my drive almost to capacity already. Other than that love this consol!!!

    Great product; would definitely recommend to people who are trying to just play games here and there; Main issue is storage but that is easily adjustable with a external hard drive. Other then that; very efficient and nice overall to have.

    Amazing system. I've been on xbox for the last 17 years. I own both this time around and the controller on the ps5 wins the day for me. It has an amazing speaker that gives those extra small detailed in game sounds, has a mic on it as well incase you don't have a headset. The haptic feedback keep you immersed in the game. Its a fast system, really a console for the ne t generation if gamers.

    Great loading speed. Awesome look against any style room. Slim fit and doesnt take up too much space at all. Easy Setup, Controller life is great (Id buy the charging station, its great as well) I haven’t had a system in so long but really enjoying this. played it everyday since I bought it. Shout out to Best Buy for having a great Tech team to make this impossible purchase possible! Waiting on GTA

    Very happy that Best Buy was still selling these as a standalone product and not as a bundle. Great purchase process, and the console itself is as expected. Fast startup, great graphics, hilariously and inconveniently large for the 21st century. Sure it's pretty to look at but I'd rather be able to tuck it in a normal TV stand and not see it at all.

    Super fun playing games with this PlayStation 5. Comes with a controller, had to cop an extra to play with the homies when they come over. Overall, great purchase and amazing graphics compared to past generations. I wouldn't consider it a necessary upgrade at the moment tho. I like this better than the disc because you can save a hundred bucks and I only buy games digitally anyway.

    The hottest Item around! Was very hard to get, but lucked up. This one was for my friend and he loves it. I have one also and its awesome! Smooth game play and crisp graphics. If you really want the full power of get a tv with HDMI 2.1 and 120hz. Good recommendation is the Q80t Samsung 65 inch tv. The Dual Sense Controller is Awesome and brings so much to the system. If you get lucky to get one, enjoy it!
