    I stayed the night in Best Buy parking lot to get this for my sons birthday. He has been on the console constantly and he loves it! We had a ps4 pro and it sounded like a helicopter landing. The ps5 design is sleek, quieter than ps4 pro and it takes up less room than the ps4 pro.

    I have been enjoying it thus far (disc version). I was able to obtain the pre-order edition. An agent called the day before to set a pick up time, they walked it to the car andoff I drove into the sunset, smooth sailing. Initial thought it reminded me of the briefcase from the umbrella kids. It's huge, sturdy, quiet.

    Amazing. Incredibly fast and almost always whisper quiet unless an update or something is being installed. The new controller features are much more immersive than I had imagined, and it's more sad to play anything without the new features. Haven't tried the 3D audio yet, but I'm excited for it.

    Sony's Newest Console

    This is a must buy for any console gamer who enjoys PS titles! The haptic feedback the controllers offer is top of the line and the graphics are GORGEOUS! This system is best combined with a 4K/120 fps with an HDMI 2.1 port. However, even without those specs, this system is definitely worth having!

    I know this console it’s really difficult to find but I must say that it is worth it. It’s simply amazing how with that pricing this thing can do so much. The 60fps gaming it’s simply a delight. But I absolutely wouldn’t pay more of its original pricing so you should wait until you find one in a store.

    This console is amazing! I’m extremely thankful I was able to get one. The real star is the DualSense controller. The adaptive triggers and the haptic feedback is such an improvement over the previous generation and once developers really learn how to take advantage of them will provide an awesome gaming experience.

    This is the gaming console that we all wanted as a kid. The performance rivals a PC. The adaptive triggers adds something extra to the experience and immersion that you don't really realize until you use a controller without it. All in all, a really great console. Now it's finding the stock to actually buy one.

    A solid upgrade over the PS4 due to the SSD and better hardware. Other than Demon Souls not a lot of games can truly take advantage of this new hardware, PS4 games run better but none of them are upgraded in a way that screams next-gen. $399 is a great price for the same hardware as the $499 disc version.

    Great Systems if you can find one. I bought this one for a friend. If you play games this is the one to get. This one is all digital version. You get all your games online. All ready for you. It run great and quite and not hot. Games runs faster with the SSD drive and 4K. Big difference from PS4. To PS5.

    PlayStation has been the go to system since I was a kid. This system is very immersive in the gameplay along with the new controller and heptic feedback. I feel like I am within the game. It is a great to see that their is always something to keep improving on the future of gaming.

    Great console. Everything from appearance to functionality, it’s great. Super happy with my purchase. The way the controllers feel is great, and the ps5 is very fast. I don’t have to wait that long for games to load anymore. If you don’t have one I highly recommend getting one if you can get your hands on one.

    Amazing Next Gen Console

    This is an amazing console - it loads incredibly fast, has quality 4k graphics, runs quietly, and the dualsense controller is top notch. I think it was worth it to spend the extra $100 to get the disc version over the digital since it can play ultra HD blu-ray discs, and we prefer physical copies of the games.

    I am Playstation 5 load times the most. The system is extremely quiet no matter how hard its working. The quality of the Playstation 5 is awesome including the Controller too. The stand that comes with the is a cheaper plastic unfortunately. And if your friend don’t have one, you might continue to play pla

    Sony could have made this system a tad bit smaller. This looks like a spaceship but kids love it the graphics are amazing, system run so quiet. A+ to the upgrades on the Ps5. Sony need to start thinking of the customers pockets sometimes not profits you will still get your money your quality holds it’s value!

    I was one of the lucky individuals to pre-order a ps5 on sept 16! I picked it up thru curbside pick-up. Wonderful experience and The ps5 is everything I was expecting and much more. It is a BIG console however i don't mind it...bigger is always better right! The graphics are insane and the controller is perfect!

    Great price to performance that you can get at the moment. HDMI 2.1 support and a blazing fast SSD. The controller is amazing and has that next-gen feel to it while the console itself runs VERY quiet (sometimes I don't even realize it's on). If you can get your hands on one, you will not be disappointed.

    Got this for my dad and he was so excited when I got to tell him I was picking it up. 6 month journey trying to secure my dad a ps5. He had a PS4 and right away he saw the speed difference with the ssd and the graphics were much improved. Definitely a great score for my dad

    Console graphics have come a long way

    Overall a very powerful console that can crank out PC level visuals in their first-party games. I haven't yet played anything 3rd party, but so far Returnal, Demon's Souls, and Ghost of Tsushima look incredible and run extremely well at 60 FPS. I will say though that the console itself is really large, but what can you expect when it's this powerful. I'm not a huge fan of the flared our panel design, but a 3rd party replacement panel can fix that for you if you really hate it. The other thing absolutely worth mentioning is the DualSense Controller. The haptics/vibration are second to none and the adaptive triggers are truly next level. The controller speaker itself seems to have slightly improved over the last generation's DualShock 4 Controller speaker. In summary, if you can get your hands on this console and are really interested in 2 or 3 of the first party games that Sony has to offer, it's most definitely worth the buy,

    There is not much reason to upgrade from PS4 to PS5. There is still not many exclusives I am trying to play, however, if you find a PS5, it is worth the purchase. The faster load times, upgradable storage, backwards compatibility, and improved controller make the $500 price worth it!
