    Got lucky enought to get one. Very nice. Love it. Couldn't get an XBOX Series X but will get it when its available (fingerscrossed). System didn't freeze on me until I started to download a game in the background while playing another. Highly recommend best buy protection plan. My sons and I are very happy with the purchase.

    I would say PS5 is great for one person exclusives but the games are expensive at 70 dollars a piece and the new controller features doesn't last as long. One of the thumb sticks on my controller peeled a bit. I hope with future models they can make it where it doesn't sound like a Jet Engine. I have a 5tb hard drive for ps4 games won't accept the 8 tb hard drives I have tried. I have a Series X xbox that I can connect both a 8 tb and 12 tb at once. If, you are a hard core gamer without kids this is for you. Value you gamers and more casual may find better value on the Xbox route especially with their Game Pass. It's a great system though! It is big though!

    Amazing gameplay for not only PS5 games but this console greatly enhances PS4 games! Titles such as Ratchet & Clank, God of War, Spider-Man are greatly enhanced at 60 FPS! Also, Astro’s Playroom is a must play as the controller for the PS5 is what really shines and stands out as next gen! I would highly recommend.

    It's PS5 of course it's awesome! I haven't had any issues with it only that I wish i had more time to play instead of work/kids/life. The graphics are insane and as more and more games come out for it it will only get better. You can see the difference when comparing same games on PS4/switch etc

    Suggesting to get an external SSD for heavy gamers

    I had the Disc version for myself, and I am gonna say, both works the same. But if you plays a lot of games, esp. Warzone (120GB+), then you will need an external SSD. This is not only for the digital version, but this version needs even more storage as you store literally everything in it.

    I was really pleased that I was able to get my hands on one of these a couple months ago. The PS5 is a pretty good step up from the PS4, and it'll be even better, when there are more flagship games available for it. It'd be nice if the addons were more reasonably priced, however.

    The SSD is super quick, making load times much shorter than previous generations. I had to take a star off bc it's huge, runs a little hot for my liking, and oddly enough private messages delete themselves? >_<

    PS5 is a excellent console. There is a current chip shortage along with insane demand making it hard to acquire. My reasoning behind making this review is to get my 25 points (BestBuy offers 25 points for every review made on products purchased. Once you get enough points, it gives you a free $5.)

    It doesn't get better. I had both the PS5/XBX and have found myself giving away the XBX to a family member. The PS5 is beautiful when compared with a OLED TV, its seamless and great. As a former Xbox One user there is no going back. The only negative is how hard they are to get right now, hopefully we all can have one soon.

    It was quite difficult to pre-order the PS5, and I hope anyone that still wants one gets one soon because it really is unfair that the gamers aren't able to land one whilst scalpers have so many. I think the one star reviews aren't a clear representation of how amazing this system is. The PS5 has run beautifully and so intelligently from what I've experienced. The set up was easy and fast. The technology of Dualsense Controller is crazy AMAZING. It is probably the next best thing (only second to the console itself) with the way it works. It's not as slippery like the Dualshock and feels great in hand. Overall, the console runs very smoothly and I was surprise to have not experienced any sort of loudness with it at all up to this point. I will admit that I like to play games favoring performance over the resolution. You will absolutely get a higher FPS and I think it just runs a lot better that way. Would highly recommend this to anyone that wants to experience next gen even though we've just merely begun to play those games. I cannot wait to see what developers do with this system!

    Bought it to my bro, excellent graphics as usual, Dual Sense is another story, exclusives are awesome. If you want to save money and get a beefy console, this Digital version is the way to go. Only downside is there is a shortage in the digital one conpared to regular Disc edition

    Bought this for my daughter she was very happy. I have had one since day one. Have not experienced any problems what so ever. Its a amazing machine and the controler is fantastic . That being said hard to get and not alot of games out for it that are exclusive. So ps4 will do the job till u can afford or find one.
