    Ok System but not worth the hype

    The PS5 is an ok system. Still can’t use the extra m.2 slot unless you want to run beta software. It also does not support 1440p gaming monitors. The way the roll out has been I haven’t been able to get enough for all the kids in the house. Between Sony and Best Buy it had been a crappy release. The one good thing I can say is that is getting my kids to think about other things than video games so maybe the that combined with not using my Best Buy card it’s a blessing in disguise

    It looks great and sounds fantastic, but has its bugs. Be aware before you buy that the controller will present connectivity issues and the console will create its own issues.

    Fun to play, but can still use some work. Not VRR ready and does not have Dolby Vision. They also need to offer better storage expansion options like Microft.

    I use this literally every day. At first glance this generation’s graphics might seem like only a marginal improvement, but the real change is in playing games in 4K (or at a higher frame rate with a lower resolution). The dualsense controller, however, feels like the future. The feedback and sounds it creates make games so immersive. The console also doubles as a 4K bluray player so if you’re like me you will end up having a second expensive hobby to pair with gaming. Buy the disc version—won’t regret it.

    I felt like thanos when he was collecting his stones when the ps5 finally dropped, besides the shortage issue Best Buy dealt with their drops flawlessly.

    The Playstation 5 is all hype at this point...

    In all honesty, my experience has been below average for a next gen console. I'm Playing nothing but PS4 games at this point. And you need a tv with an HDMI 2.1 port in order to use 120hz. The upscale is nice when playing on a 4k tv but a PS4 pro can do the same thing. Also, my 65inch tv supports freesync and the PS5 does not but my Xbox one from 10 years ago does... How does that make sense? I should have bought an Xbox series X. The PS5 was one of the biggest hype trains of 2020

    Package was pretty beat up when I picked it up and the online service was absolutely terrible. The site kept crashing, but all in all everything was okay. System runs great

    I haven't played it much but I've had no issues with it when I've tested the machine with a few games. The lack Dolby Atmos support for games is a bit off-putting though.

    Nothing too exciting for next gen consoles. Limited games with ps5 upgrade. Only thing worth playing is the Spiderman and Demon Souls. PC still runs better for most games.

    Overhyped, you would think performance would be much better given the time it took for it to come out. Honestly looks/feels like a v2 ps4 then a next gen console.

    Quick machine, but bad, advertising-first UI, and lack of controller options for PS5 games since you can't use your old ones (even those expensive pro controllers).

    Honestly love my PS5 but sadly it is glitching. Already in contact with Sony for a repair or replacement but BestBuy did amazing with the release and curbside pick-up.

    Not impressed with the graphics. I was expecting much more. Especially after seeing some of the other games. The football and basketball games were disappointing.

    Certain discs are loud when powering on system. There are no games out for this console. Launch was poorly executed. Sony needs to do better, this is lazy.

    I wish they can stop the bots from buying them it’s annoying for people to purchase them. Please upgrade your software and address. That’s why I give it a 3 star
