    A beautiful and fast but oversized console My ps5 experience so far has been great. The loading times are excellent with the ssd and the controller creates a whole new sense of immersion. My only negative would be the size of the console. That being said I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves games.

    The loading speed on this machine is so much better than the PS4, it's insane! The design of this machine looks physically appealing also. My only caviot though is you can't customize your home screen anymore. Maybe they will release that in due time, but for now, I miss it.

    So hard to get but eventually after spamming checkout when I was notified from the twitter accounts monitoring stock I was finally able to check this out. The Playstation 5’s secret weapon is the duelsense controller. It truly democratizes the experience for everyone. You DON’T need to have a 4k HDR 120hz VRR 65” display for this console. Just a duelsense controller, and also arguably a gaming headset that utilizes the new Tempest 3D audio engine for even more immersive audio, although a premium headset from last generation gaming is probably just as nice. I had the pleasure of playing Uncharted 4 on a 4k HDR OLED and it was a truly beautiful game on the PS5. Plus it was F R E E, along with 17 other games for the PS5 launch with playstation plus. Literally 18 FREE huge games for PS5 as long as you have playstation plus! Don’t know how long they’ll keep it but it’s a HUGE incentive to buy PS5 since most of them are PS4 pro upgraded games, some with unlocked frame rates so the PS5 can push them as far as it can. Play Uncharted 4 on PS5. Seriously. Beautiful.

    I’ve had it for over a year now and I love it. The processing speed is beautiful and the UI is pleasing. The controller is really comfortable to handle and the haptic feedback is immersive. I wish more people can experience the PS5.

    Love it. Unbelievably fast can't wait for the new games to keep rolling out. Controller is nice and has a nice texture. Wish it had larger ssd somewhat of a disappointment. Also begs the question what happens when the ssd fails and the operating system is in the main ssd ? Only time will tell.

    Got this in launch day. Honestly not much about the console and games has excited me. Most great games are either cross play or on the ps4 console. The exclusives are mostly single player games. Me? I have no time to be wasting playing games by myself. Last time i played a game for the storyline was on ps2. Games are expensive but always go on sale. Graphics... well they are good. But anything less for a console this gen and this expensive is no excuse. The controller tactile feel while playing. I found it sort of annoying and unnecessary. Youtube hype with "changes the game" lol i guess. Trust me if your playing alot of cod and have to click the trigger harder for that "tactile" feel its fun at first then gets annoying fast during fast paced games. Controller feels great. Nice how the mic is also on the controller. Astros demo? Hey i understand its a demo to demonstrate the controller but this was far from entertaining for me. Maybe years of gaming and using game novelty consoles and accesories has probably jaded impression.

    One of the best Christmas present I’ve ever received.. The PS5 is just an excellent machine, futuristic design, incredible controller, the brand new UI and best of all its amazing catalog of exclusive games. No wonder the PlayStation brand is the most successful home console brand ever. Highly recommended!

    The PS5 is definitely my favorite console this generation. Despite being a little under on the specifications compared to XBX, the PS5's features beats it. Specifically the haptic and the adaptive triggers in the controller. If you haven't already, don't forget to claim all of the games in the PS Collection!

    I have been very fortunate enough to get my hands on one, and have to say, I love the system. Initially the aesthetics of the system wasn't my thing, but it definitely grew on me. The controller is really hefty and has some really interesting features. Since the systems are hard to get, I can confidently say while the console is really amazing, don't worry too much about missing out on titles too much. Most games are released both on the ps4, and ps5, and there are not many PS5 exclusive titles yet. However, I cannot complain how I can play games at a beautiful 4K resolutions (or at least 1440p etc.), and great frame rate. Alot of PS4 games with backwards compatibility have improved features as well. I really hope more people can experience this awesome console, but honestly since the games are not rolling out yet that are exclusives, no need to worry too much as of now.

    The console is great, although it can have it's flaws. Currently the fan can make a noise due to a loose sticker (from what I've heard). Other than that, there are some software issues, but those can be fixed through system software updates. I picked up Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales as well, great game! The console does well when it comes to backwards compatibility (does not support PS1, PS2, or PS3 games unfortunately). Gaming at 4K @ 60Hz feels great! The graphics are very vibrant and crisp. If you don't have a 4K capable TV, I still recommend the PS5 for it's great experience. The adaptive triggers on the brand new DualSense controller seems a bit gimmicky to me, but I was very surprised to see how they felt. The haptic vibrations also worked very well (think a toned down version of the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con vibration). Astro's Playroom comes installed on your PS5 (apart from updates) and shows you the power of the DualSense's features. The console feels much more "next-gen" and new compared to the Xbox Series X/S (from what I've seen online).

    It's a fine piece of machinery. However, besides the graphics being sharper and the controller jiggling more. I could've waited.... wasn't worth the stress of trying to buy one. My ps4 pro works great! I can't say I'm a fan of the new interface. Reminds of the ps3 .. just feedback from a Oldschool gamer.

    The PS5 is a remarkable machine. Despite being MUCH bigger than the PS4, it's justified by shear processing power and storage space. The Dual Sense controller is amazing and playing through Astro's Playroom, which showcases the controller feature possibilities, is top notch. I can't recommend this enough.

    Great system. Amazing graphics and good selection of games. 4k gaming never looked this good and 60/120fps never looked so smooth. Invest in a name for more storage as the 825gb is not enough. Some games are over 100gbs. But overall a great system and Sony has done it again.

    Fantastic console and fantastic purchase. Was able to reserve one on the app for my local store and do curbside pickup. It couldn’t have been smoother just had to wait a week. The console itself is great, amazing graphics and the new controller makes it even better. The console to get so keep trying!

    I was able to get a PS5, picked it up with the extra controller without having to pay a scalper for the privilege. The system is great, Spider-Man is outstanding (especially if you've never played the PS4 version), the new controller feels good and hey, its a new console during a national lockdown!

    Great update to the PlayStation! I love the ease of use, quality of games, and style. It is very expensive but worth it. It was so hard to get one of these. I was disappointed with the availability.

    Not sure how but I got one. And it’s beautiful Spider-Man plays smooth and looks better than ever. Sack boy is a jaw dropping opening sequence that stuns at first glance and continues through gameplay. Astro boy is a fantastic way to showcase the controller, crisp 4k graphics and tight surround. Worth it!!!!!!

    I highly suggest that you get an NVMe SSD to install in the storage bay. At least get 1TB of extra storage as even though it’s a disc version, it extracts/downloads MANY Gigabytes to play a single game. Don’t forget a heatsink for the SSD if considering.
