    Really enjoying the next-gen console experience thus far! PS5 games like Spider Man Mile Morales look amazing, and the large library of PS4 games provides plenty of content. Fast internet (ideally without a data cap) is a must-have for disc free gaming. If you have that, I think the digital edition is a great option given the lower price and more symmetrical case (which I think looks much better than the disc edition).

    Excellent GPU. It is also quite large, make sure to check your case dimensions. I recommend atleast a 750w power supply. Yes, it's expensive and hard to get. Paired with a powerful CPU, this thing will get about 80 frames on 1440p highest settings in a game like Red Dead Redemption 2. Obviously individual games, etc will vary. It can do 4k gaming as well, but don't expect the same performance as a 3080 or 3090.

    Plays all my games very fast and the load times is the real bonus for this console generation. Plus download times, SSD's solved these problems almost 10 year ago if not more and finally getting them on console is the best part. The FPS and resolutions are cool, but for somebody who values their time greatly I just cannot justify any older consoles aside for retro purposes.

    Slowly we seem to be bridging the console v. computer gap. This is a very fast console, and it's amazing to see the speed difference between my previous PS4 Pro and PS5. Some of the games with very long loading times on the PS4 Pro load incredibly fast on the PS5, and it's now more of a joy to play my PS4 games. I'm lucky to have gotten this console very near launch and hope others get a chance to experience this console soon as well.

    It’s an amazing console you can definitely feel the next gen with the ps5, the load speeds are very fast compared to last gen and it has a incredible controller with the power of becoming something so unreal but when it comes to use of the new features it is up to the developers. I do hope the dual sense is used a lot in other games coming to the ps5 but we will have to wait and see, Overall the console is worth the wait and the price!

    Blows My Mind

    When looking at the difference in PS4/PS4 Pro to PS5 the difference in graphical fidelity is doesn't seem like a massive increase at this time, but I fully expect that to be different a year or two from now as more games are developed solely for this generation and not for both. What absolutely blows my mind with the PS5 is the speed and immediacy of the internal storage. Every time I have started my PS5 I am never prepared for how IMMEDIATELY it starts up, and then it still catches me off guard when I start Spider Man Miles Morales and it IMMEDIATELY loads to the start menu screen, and then it STILL catches me off guard AGAIN when it IMMEDIATELY loads into my saved game as soon as I select it. That impresses me more than any leap in graphics could; I look forward to the day when massive games take moments, not minutes, to load. Coming from the days of HDDs and minutes and minutes of loading screens to this is just a jaw-dropping realization. While I wish there was wider compatibility with the additional NVMe slot to add a "slower" NVMe now for PS4 games and PS5 games that might not "demand" faster Gen4 speeds, it's an understandable restriction when envisioning the console as a 7 year item and requiring a baseline performance that is higher at the moment but will become more common as time moves on. This machine is impressive.

    I have had the PS5 for a while now. The library of ps5 games isn’t great, but it runs several patched ps4 games with smoother frame rates (god of war, etc.). Besides bugs in some games, I have had no issues with my ps5. Graphical improvements and faster load times are worth the price. I’m still waiting for some truly next-gen games. The store had my order ready before it was scheduled, and curbside pickup was very easy.
