    Hands down no questions asked THE BEST! Next gen console to buy!!! The dualsense cotroller makes it the clear winner!!! Don’t waste your time on Xbox unless you have $500 burning a hole in your pocket they do have a couple exclusives that are pretty good

    Load times are with the upgrade. Side by side graphic comparisons to PS4/Pro are noticeable, but not a huge leap. Nice that you can run your PS4 games off of a hard drive, but they need to be on the internal SSD to take advantage of the fast load times. Astro bots Adventure is great, takes advantage of the Dualsense. Dualsense controller is fantastic. Comes with a lot of free games in the PS+ collection. Internal Hard Drive space is not enough really. Almost all PS4 games play on it, the Senran Kagura games have glitches, may be a deal breaker.

    I've been a fan of Sony for years and grew up with the Playstation and Playstation 2 so I have become accustomed to the controller and their line of exclusives. With the exception of the small amount of internal storage I have no regrets buying this console.

    Once you finally get one, you wont be disappointed. Awesome graphics, fast game loads and a nice solid design. The base seems a little odd when horizontal but works fine once set up. Huge improvement to the controller over the ps4.

    Excellent game play!!!! Superior graphics!!!! Unbeatable load times!!!! Can’t express enough, how impressed I am with the PS5 & also the outstanding service I received from Best Buy. Only wish I could’ve got the 3D pulse headphones to complete my experience.

    Worth the wait but not @ scalper prices. Great system. Controller takes some getting used to after using a dualshock for so long, but it feels much more sturdier. Load times are much quicker.

    Simply amazing! My last console was a backwards compatible PS3 so I'm catching up on some PS4 titles I missed and the PS5 plays them perfectly. Miles Morales is amazing as well. The load times are basically non-existent and the graphics are phenomenal.

    Backwards compatible with the PS4. Very easy to setup and quite fast at transferring data from a PS4 to the PS5. Takes up quite a bit of space so make sure you have space wherever you are planning on putting it. Games for this console are now $69.99 as opposed to $59.99 on the previous generation. Has an M.2 drive for expandable storage which will come in handy when i need to upgrade my storage. Its great for playing PS5 games, UHD BluRays, and works great as a media console for Netflix, Hulu, Disney, etc..

    The PS5 is sooooo good. It's fast, fun, and the graphics on a 4K 120hz OLED TV is unreal. The built-in game Astro's Playroom is so funa nd really shows on the Dual sense. If you can land one, you won't be disappointed

    Love the extra storage and processing speed. Design looks cool! Was fortunate to secure one early on and I’ve happily handed hundreds of hours with no issue. Loading screen is so short now. Don’t get to eat my food because I’m straight into the game

    Amazing Next-Gen Console

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This console feels so much smoother and faster than my PS4, only downside is the limited 825GB storage that the console itself has. With the PS4, I was able to get an internal 2TB drive and a 4TB hard drive for games but I can’t do the same yet for this new console. I’m currently using the 4TB hard drive from PS4 to PS5 to only play whatever PS4 games I had stored there, I’m not able to download PS5 games to that external one. Overall, it’s a pretty solid console, but I just wish they would allow for more storage to be added to free up the storage of the console itself.

    The ps5 digital edition is a really amazing console the 4K is 10/10 it’s super fast and the controller feels very good in my hands I will say what sucks is no disc drive but if you got a lot of digital games this is for you

    Generation over generation, I think the PS5 hit the target of being a qualified successor to the PS4/PS4 Pro. Playing imported PS4 games, there really is no hitch or frame dropped. With the limited PS5 optimized games available, I think we have yet to see the full performance capabilities packaged within. I am concerned about the available storage space, as a lot of my games are digital downloads. I'm hoping Sony releases a cost effective way to expand the internal storage slot by yourself, rather than require you to plug in a grossly priced proprietary storage card.

    By far the best system I have ever owned. The system is powered up and ready to play a game, almost before my tv even turns on. Graphics are stunning! Hard to obtain the ps5 but if you can find one, I definitely recommend to anyone.

    Definitely bigger than the PS4 but definitely worth it if you can afford the upgrade. But honestly the PS4 works just as good. That’s just my opinion my husband thinks otherwise. Overall we are both happy with our purchase.

    Awesome system. Wonderful design. Spiderman Miles Morales and Demon Souls look amazing on this system on my LG OLED. Those games running 4k 60fps rival that of my gaming PC. I've played relentlessly since launch and haven't had a problem out of my system.

    Great console! The PS5 is noticeably quieter than my old PS4 which I would clean regularly of dust. The load times are amazing and match my gaming PC with an NVME storage. The best thing in my opinion is the controller which is a complete game changer.
