    As someone who likes to have the "New Shiny" as early as possible, I was very pleased that my PS5 arrived on release day! I have had a blast with it so far! Demon's Souls is a brilliant launch title, recapturing and improving upon the 2009 PS3 title. Miles Morales continues the magic from 2018's Spider-Man, in a shorter, but more focused campaign. But shockingly, the bundled-in Astro's Playroom is probably the most fun I have had with my new console! It oozes fun and charm and is simultaneously a love letter to all thing Playstation and also a thorough showcase of what the DualSense controller is capable of! For me, this purchase hit all the right notes, but I could definitely say that a large portion of gamers can probably wait to get one until there are a few more exlusives!

    Best console so far. I have the xbox and ps5 and both are great. It works well and i'm excited to play all the new games. Everything about this system is premium. Fast load times and great graphics mean that even old games look better.

    I love my PS5. I was not sure if I wanted this or the bee Xbox. I went with this and I’m so glad I did. The Ps5 feels next gen. From graphics to speed. Everything wrong with the PS4 was fixed. The remote is amazing as well. Best gift this year!

    Even though it was a challenge to purchase one of these, the gaming experience was nothing but phenomenal. Fast speeds due to the ssd, powerful visuals due to processing power, and a beautiful piece of art due to its elegant design.

    Great little system. In an attempt to play cyberpunk 2077 on my ps4 I was disappointed at how slow it ran so went online and ordered this system and now it’s smooth and plays as expected Could use a little more storage as it fills up quick

    I love this console. The graphics, performance, the look and everything about it are worth the purchase once you have one of course. If you're lucky enough to have snagged one from a retailer. It's worth the purchase, I hope you get one too.

    The PS5 load times are faster when booting up the console and before game play. Works great with the LG CX 4K 77 inch TV. Playing games like Call of Duty, Warzone or Battlefront 2 are much clearer with this new console and the ray tracing.

    Sleek and powerful, easy to setup. This unit is bigger than previous versions, but it looks and runs great. Wish it came with second controller, but that is minor. Loving it! Not tons of games available yet, but many more coming in 2021.

    No noise and no annoying load times

    I wanna be clear as to my reasons for getting a ps5. I played on a launch-model ps4 until upgrading to ps5 in early January. The two things I wanted from the ps5 was to fix the 2 most annoying things about gaming on ps4 - the noise that could be heard by my next-door neighbors, and the insufferable load times. Both of these things were equally annoying. I've had the console for about a month now and have played the worst ps4 offender when it comes to load times - Pillars of Eternity. I can report that the load times are drastically shorter, it is actually quite impressive. This game is not even optimized for ps5. I've also played Resident Evil 2 remake, the game that made my ps4 sound like an airplane about to take off. THERE.IS.NO.NOISE. You can't even hear your ps5. Absolutely amazing. Super happy with the purchase.

    Yay for the PS5 way better than the last model, Sony really pulled it off! It was a lot crisper and smother on my big screen TV than anything I have every played before. I’m having lots of fun with it. Thank you Best Buy! You guys are so legit :)

    The console is awesome! It is a bit bulky but that’s not really an issue for me. The UI is easy to use. I’ve been playing Demon’s Souls which looks beautiful and plays so smoothly. I have had zero issues with the console. I highly recommend it.

    While I don't necessarily like the white/black design, it does have that very futuristic design, like a skyscraper in Dubai. Design aside, it plays games really well, graphics are great, smooth 60 fps in some PS5 titles, I have played assassins creed valhalla and sackboy so far. There are many PS4 games that you can play with backwards compatibility. And if you never had a PS4 before, I would recommend you to sign up for PS+ and you will gain access to the playsation plus collection which are about a dozen PS4 game titles like God Of War, Uncharted, Bloodborne, Days Gone, Battledield 1, Fallout 4, Monster Hunter World, and many more. I am glad that I made my purchase at Best Buy where they have a anti bot protection on the site. I personally waited 3 weeks to get one since I missed the preorders. It was worth the wait.

    I love the PS5, even though it can be a tiny bit loud with the fan, it doesn’t take away from the quick load times and the amazing graphics. I’ve played Godfall with my brother online and it was super fast. Honestly definitely worth every penny!

    Compared to the prior generation, the PS5 is blazing fast and the controller alone is worth the upgrade. The ability to play at the highest resolution is also a wonderful experience. I highly recommend grabbing one of these when you can.

    Console is absolutely amazing to play. The design is so smooth, controller feels amazing, the games you can play are out of this world. I love it so much. I wish that everyone could be able to experience how good this game plays and displays.
