    I have only used it for a week, but I can already say that the PS5 controller is the coolest controller I have ever used. I have been gaming for over 30 years, and just playing Astro's Playroom was fantastic, and a game both myself and my 6 year old can play. I am looking forward for lots more fun for both my kiddos and my self (Spider-Man, here I come).

    The PS5 is a pain to get, but once you get it, you know it was worth it. The controller itself feels amazing once you get used to it, and the games run surprisingly well coming from a PC gamer. Playstation did really good on this console and I hope for more amazing exclusives to come out. I personally got my own on the 12th and have been enjoying it since, I got this purchase for a friend.

    The PS5 is amazingly fast and reliable. The difference in speed from PS4 to PS5 is significant. Bye-bye long loading times. The new control is increasingly responsive to boot. I've owned mine for a couple of months and have experienced zero bugs. I highly recommend buying one. It would be nice however to have some more games available.

    I managed to score mine online the last week in December '21. You have to be refreshing your browser at just the right time and once it's added to your cart, keep trying to check out for at least 30 minutes even if it stalls. The hardware is great. The unit itself is high quality and has some weight to it. Looks futuristic and advanced. Excellent audio and video options to tune the picture. Also, the wired network download speed is excellent. On my PS4 Pro I was getting 150 Mb/s download, but on the PS5 I'm getting around 350 Mb/s. The UI however is missing a few things that the PS4 UI had that I miss. There is no more downloading movies through Sony. You have to have an app like Netflix or Amazon. You can still download games obviously. You cannot customize the wall paper in the background either. Also, there is no Playstation Live option that groups all the live streams in one app. You have to log in to Twitch or YouTube to view live streams through those apps. I also found that when playing movies from a USB stick, if you try to fast forward, sometimes the movie gets stuck and won't play. This console is still in its infancy and I'm sure it will all get worked out with updates.
