    I got lucky enough to finally get the PS5 system. It took me a whole year to get it. I love this system. I can’t get enough of it. I installed a 2tb ssd memory to store more ps5 games. I also bought a 5tb portable drive to stire/save my ps4 games. This truly is a next generation system. I wish there would be enough in stock for everyone.

    Works great and barely makes any noise. The controller is an actual upgrade and something new even if pay say the haptic feedback and triggers aren’t new which personally it’s the first time I felt an controller do what the ps5 controller is doing (Xbox fanboys be hating). Also Beachguy give this console a bad review because of the price LMAOO (if you see this you suck and get your money up bozo).

    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.

    NEXT GEN - Awesome controller, great console

    Overall an excellent system. I LOVE the dualsense controller. Try out the Astro demo and you'll get why. Faster than old consoles, and next gen graphics (without having to play on a PC). Still need more games, but the launch window was decent enough. Personally not a fan of the console exterior. I think its a bit ugly unless its standing (hard to find a good space for it to stand for me).

    Awesome! Almost everything I hated about my PS4 has been corrected except the size. This thing is pretty big but it's worth every penny. Plays games faster and the new controller finally feels just right. I've had every Playstation since 1997 and I feel like they finally made the controller the way it should have been since the PS3. Well worth the money.

    Was very lucky to be able to pre-order and pick up on launch day. It is everything Sony says it is. Quiet, lightning fast, and the controller is truly next level. Astro's Playroom that is pre-loaded on the console is also a must play, showcasing the controllers features while also be a nostalgia trip. Spider-Man Miles Morales also looks and feels great on this console. Super happy with the PS5.

    The console itself is awesome. Loads very fast and UX is as great as the PS4. Cons: This thing is huge... you need a good amount of space for it to sit. Console also sounds like an alien sometimes when loading certain game scenes. (coil whine maybe?)

    The next-generation console.

    The Sony PlayStation 5 is the new iteration of what a gaming platform is. It has all the latest technology: AMD GPU and CPU provide the heart and soul of the console with RDNA2 technology for fast and fluid responsiveness! The games today take advantage of the newest PCI-e 4.0 to provide quick and almost instant switching from one game to another. The controller has also been upgraded to give you feedback while gaming; you can feel rain drops along with other bumps and while traversing through worlds. The PS5 has 1TB of onboard storage. That's not very much today, but will be expandable in the future with new very fast NVMe SSDs. These are expensive, but they will be worth the price as game file sizes get larger from the quality you see on your screen. The PS5 offers up to 8K TVs and up to 4K 120Hz gameplay with the addition of HDMI 2.1 (Make sure your TV or monitor has this in order to take advantage of every spec of your new console). This console is a deal for $499. You wouldn't come close to building a PC for that price point that has the capabilities of the PS5. For example, the Nvidia RTX 3070 cost $499 MSRP, and that is only for the video card not the rest of the PC. I recommend this product for yesterday's, today's, and tomorrow's games and video content as this console will further improve over time with apps and updates.

    It's a great upgrade from the PS4 or PS4 Pro of course. The only thing that is really missing out is on games unless if you really want to get the PS5 for Demon Souls, NBA 2K21 nex-gen or Spider-Man: Miles Morales then it is worth it. The controller features are amazing and feels like a premium controller. I am not good at reviewing stuff but YouTube or Google are your best friends here.

    This purchase made my Christmas. I stayed up all night and finally got it at 4:30 am. I was so excited. Had a little delay because when I ordered it I was told I could pick it up on Black Friday but I would get an email telling me when it is ready. Never got it called and called no answer so I emailed finally got an email telling me if they could not fill the order by December 5th they would refund my money. I was really upset because I got this for a little boy who lost his grandmother that he has lived with since birth He watched her battle cancer of the face and jaw for a year and a half. It was a very sad situation especially for an 11 year old boy. The video of watching this child open up that PS5 was such a beautiful sight This little boy was the happiest he has been in a year and a half Thank you for filling my order and making a little boys christmas

    Got this launch day. Initial set up was a bit slow as I imported data from my PS4 but has been smooth. I found that I had almost filled up the internal ssd so I bought an external ssd and enclosure for PS4 content. I was very impressed with Astros playroom. Free, but challenging. Really puts the controller and its features on display. I've been enjoying Miles Morales in fidelity mode.
