    For a while I had an issue with the console having problems with going into rest mode. Then one day an update came out and fixed it. I would like it if more games were only on the current gen hardware and still not being held back by the previous gen consoles. Experiencing drift in the left controller doesn't help when playing a game with accuracely.

    Great upgrade from the ps5, super quiet and no issues. The controller is a great upgrade and the adaptive triggers change up the play style of games.

    Sleek and Smooth Design, Powerful Hardware

    The PlayStation 5 lives up to its pedigree of providing excellent first party software, new cutting edge design in hardware manufacturing, and sleek console design that is eye catching and intuitive. The OS is greatly improved over the last two generations and provides ease to each title and app. The digital edition is extremely quiet. You only hear the start up sound and then it’s silent. Games run and load faster than ever and download significantly faster compared to the PS4. The only negative right now that Sony absolutely needs to fix is backwards compatibility before PS4. Imagine playing PS1-PS3 as well as PSP and Vita games all on one machine! Unfortunately, there isn’t any solid plans for doing so and it hinders the appeal that it could have compared to their Xbox competitor. Memory will be an issue eventually as well, but thankfully there are expandable storage options on the horizon. While it should’ve been implemented at the beginning, it will be solved soon. Other minor grips aside, it’s difficult not to be impressed. You absolutely should invest in a PS5 simply to play PS4 games with better performances alone as well as excellent first party games. Hopefully Sony will allow better backwards compatibility in the future and once it does, this console would easily be the best they’ve ever launched.

    Great system. Haven’t had a PlayStation since the PS3 so I’ve been having a blast catching up on all the exclusives I’ve missed over the last 8 years. Super responsive and the dual sense controller is great. While I still prefer the series X due to VRR support, it is coming to PS later via an update and you can’t go wrong with either if you can get your hands on one! While mine does have a slightly annoying coil whine when playing certain games, turning the volume up a little or throwing on a headset fixes that issue.

    Great console. Really next gen. But you all know that. The purchasing process is what really deserves a review. I tried for a month at multiple retailers. Website crashes, broken apps and bad timing led to no luck. Best Buy's website and app were stable and even though they sold out like lightening a few times, I kept my eyes on the social media for restock updates and when I actually got one in my cart, it came through no prob. Good luck, everyone. These systems are still hard to find.

    Great console, easy set up. Rather large, but can be mounted on a wall and behind the tv so it won’t be in the way. Love the graphics.

    Was lucky enough to grab one of these and it’s awesome. Games look fantastic on a 4K TV. Wish it wasn’t so big and bulky, but otherwise, great buy!

    Great graphics and super fast. I'm honestly playing my Xbox series X more than the PlayStation but once more games come out I'll be back on the PS.
