    The system is hard to get but runs so much better than previous generations. Also online game load times are much better. Best oart is the controller.

    The good: + Fast loading times + Haptic feedback is kind of interesting + Astro's playroom (the pre-installed game) is fun for a while + Quieter than PS4 The bad: - Not backwards compatible with PS3 games. (So, I can't play Okami HD anymore) The ugly: - The console itself is literally ugly IMO. I like the way XBoxes look. - There's not any must-have games out right now, unless you're into Demon Souls (which I am not).

    Playstation 5 is a very good upgrade from ps4. I thought it wouldn't be but the graphics and the new interactive menu is great. Also the new controller is very good also.

    I’ve had this since November last year and it’s been a wonderful upgrade from my PS4 Pro. The load times and quietness of the console (doesn’t sound like a jet engine when loading a large amount of information like PS4 models do) are worth it alone. Yes, I’m one of those people who purchased it to play PS4 games on it (Destiny 2, etc). I have yet to purchase a PS5 game for it, but eventually I will. I’m definitely going to purchase a disc version as well at some point. I’m truly a PlayStation fan. If you are fortunate enough to have the means to purchase one, go for it. You won’t regret it.

    An upgrade from the PS4. I like the controller a lot and the console feels snappy and smooth. Can't wait for more games to come out to see the true potential of this console.

    What can I say besides I love my PS5!!! I was so lucky getting my PS5 on release date from Best Buy. My PS5 looked great on my old tv but I love my PS5 so much I had to purchase a tv with 2.1 hdmi/120refresh rate. The graphics are nothing short of amazing even when I’m performance mode. The game’s graphics are only getting better and I can’t wait to see what’s yet to come. I’ve had no issues with my PS5 and even installed a 2TB hard drive with heat sink. Love it!!! Hopefully more people will be able to get a PS5 soon, more the merrier. Happy New Year!!!

    I lucked out with getting this PS5. I was forced to resetting the page but it was completely worth it seeing as my PS4 recently died out on me a couple weeks before hand. If you like PlayStation, I would highly suggest getting your hands on one. The games that are compatible for a PS5 upgrade make for amazing frame rate and performance upgrades, but some aren’t as good as they would appear. All in all I believe PLAYSTATION to be superior to the XBOX but it’s all my personal preference. I don’t need to add pics, just the standard white PS5

    Super easy to use. Games look great. Had some connecting issues but that was more so on my older TV. Upgraded TV and no 0 issues. Gets dusty easily but that’s not a huge deal.

    Surprised the kids! They love the new design, say it’s user friendly and has great graphics. Built in microphone is a great back up but not the best quality.
