    Next generation gaming is here. The machine is a big upgrade from PS4 and PS4 Pro. lighting fast. Cons: -Very little storage (4 next gen games) -Cannot move next gen games to external storage to save space, seriously sony? -Cannot expand the storage capacity buying external mvme drives, again seriously sony?

    It's a great machine. The hardware is top notch and the design, while a bit quirky, is also very forward thinking. Haven't gotten the chance to put it through its paces yet, but I'm pretty impressed with the graphics and the installation was pretty straightforward.

    If you can buy one at MSRP it's definitely worth it. I don't even play many games but I expect this to last for many years. Load times certainly seem quicker than previous generation consoles. The last Playstation I owned was a PS2 but of course I've experienced PS3 and PS4 via friends.

    The new controller is awesome. Tried Rift Apart and the feedback throughout adds nicely to the overall experience. System is also very quiet, barely audible from about 6 feet away in my entertainment center. Gets a bit warm in the back but the front vents stay cool to the touch.

    I've owned this for over a year now. It is really an amazing machine, but I do have a few complaints. 1, the storage just isn't enough. I believe mine is 500gb, and it's not nearly enough. I had to separately purchase an external storage to fit most of my kids' games. 2. The controllers all started breaking after a year of about average use, and they are about $70 each. So be ready to buy all new controllers after that amount of time. Other than those things, the functionality of the PS5 is just amazing. We've had countless hours of fun with it! If you can get your hands on one, I recommend it!

    Its been so long since the PS4 I had almost given up hope. Everything about the PS5 looks great. I also really like the fact that they listened to the developer and made the programming tools so much simpler for the PS5. It's going to mean that so many great games will come out faster and better on the PS5.

    The best next gen console

    Whether you decide to go with the digital or standard version of the ps5, you will not be disappointed in the user friendly UI, sharp visuals and graphics, and overall gameplay on the ps5. Pairing the ps5 with a 4K, HDMI 2.1 compatible, 120fps HDTV will bring the best out of this next gen console.

    Incredible Improvement

    An incredible upgrade in experience. The graphics are great, don't get me wrong, but where this gen really shines is the Quality of Life improvements. less than 5 seconds switching games, easier to jump in and out of parties (even between games) and just all around improved from the previous generation.

    A nice upgrade to the PS4. Much quieter. Goes from sleep state to playing a game really quickly. Nice to have 4k throttling options for performance versus frame rate and resolution. Great exclusives for those more into story adventure type games.

    Definitely next gen ready with this PS5. If you had a PS4 prior to this then it would feel really familiar. You're just getting better graphics and faster loading times. I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed with picking this up, if you're able to get it right away.

    What can be said about a next-gen console during this time? Well, it's a great machine. Runs quiet and has maybe the best and most advanced controller ever made. The controller alone makes the system leaps and bounds beyond what anything else is doing and does enhance immersion. Well worth it.

    Ive been a PS lover since the PSone. I was fortunate enough to get one of these early, and I know why everyone is still trying to get one. It upscales old games (where available) and everything I play looks great. I doubt I need to sell anyone on this but no complaints

    If you can get this, order one. This has been the smoothest way to play ps4/ps5 games with your friends. the mic on the controller is a plus to talk without turning on a headset. This is the best way to game with the haptics and graphics. Next gen lets go!

    It was entirely worth the wait to get this console. I had been trying to secure one for weeks prior to Christmas which I was able to manage to do just in time for the holiday. Ever since having it, there hasn’t been a moment where I could put the controller down. 100% worth the buy and worth the wait

    Loving my ps5 so far. Coming from a base ps4, this is a massive upgrade. Load times are extremely fast, noticeable graphical improvements exceeded my expectations. The process of picking it up was also great. Same day pick up! Within 2 hours of purchase i had it in my possession. Couldn’t be happier!

    It's got all that's to be expected from a true next generation console, not just faster, but the shape and lights of the console AND this new controller, make the ps5 look and feel top of the line
