    The only thing I don't like is the controller speaker when trying to listen to other gamers when playing online.

    Obviously very excited to get the PS5 on launch day. After having it two weeks now, I can honestly say it's not worth the money by a long shot. The differences between the PS4 Pro and the PS5 are so minuscule at this point, you're better off sticking with the PS4 Pro for another year. I own 3 of the new PS5 games and not one impresses me the way I assumed they would. Graphically they BARELY look different than PS4 Pro. If anyone tells you different, they're fooling themselves. Godfall is way too easy and very boring/repetitive as is Spider Man, and Demons Souls is so brutally difficult I dont even want to play it. The most fun and amazement I've had was playing the built -in platformer Astros Playroom which unlocks a virtual Playstation museum as you complete it- which can be done in a few hours. I should have waited a year or so for the software developers to truly harness the systems capabilities. That's my advice. Stick with the PS4 Pro and save your money another year. Nothing mindblowing here yet folks, at least with what I was expecting. But hey, loading times have improved so....

    Read about storage here. Some reviews are harsh.

    I waited a week before I gave my review. The console storage, which is 660GB, hurts a little but then again I'm not playing 20 different games at the same time. 2k21 which is 100 GB, Sackboy which is around 60 as well as Spider-Man: Miles Morales left me with around 325 GB give or take which is not bad at all. I think when reviewing the console that needs to be taken into consideration. It's powerful and extremely fast. Usually I could check my phone in between load times, but with the PS5 2k21 loads in a matter of seconds. Quiet, I played multiple games in an entire day and it never sounded like a plane was about to land. New UI is sleek and user friendly. Separating games and media into two different categories keeps the UI from looking cluttered. Although the console is an amazing piece of hardware, the star of this should is the new dual sense controller. The haptic feedback is a amazing especially when playing games that take advantage of the haptic feedback like Astro's: Playroom (which is an amazing demo), 2k21, and Borderlands. I highly recommend.

    My son loves it, but the grip fell off on the control buttons one month in of having it. Now will need to purchase another control. That never happened with the ps4 he had for years. I’m afraid this is cheaply made! Common PlayStation you can do better than this. I guess the goal is to keep taking your money.

    Unit is great but has some internal issue which I feel I’m sort of stuck with. There is a loud noise either coil whine or the fan hitting something. Being the unit is sold out everywhere, swapping it is not an option / sending it to Sony is an option but I may not see it back until next year some time. Trying to learn to live with the noise... just too darn annoying and distracting.
