    Took long enough to get it and I live in the controllers have been the easiest most amazing upgrade. I don't have a 120Hz tv so not sure about that part. Everything else is excellent! Especially the updates to the PS4 version of some games like Ghost of Tsushima!

    Was finally able to score one of these bad boys and I love it! No issues with the console at all. Only grip is that on start-up, it tends to get a bit loud for a few seconds but once the console gets to the menu, the sound disappears. I am completely satisfied with the console!

    Naturally the PS5 is a healthy power jump over the PS4 Pro, but if you're all about the best graphics, can't get your head around gaming on PC, and are platform agnostic, it's also worth considering the most powerful console on the market today, the Xbox Series X.

    Now picture this: you buy a PC SPECIFICALLY for gaming... then you play the PS5: and don’t go back to pc for gaming. Not saying PCs are worthless because of it but me personally if you’re not modding games or something im sticking to PS5. Less expensive while still bring excellent performance.

    GET THE DISC VERSION - you will SAVE MONEY!

    On the surface there is a $100 difference between the E-version and the disc version. The E-version was the only one I could get my hands on so I was appreciative to get what I could. That being said, keep in mind that while there certainly are benefits to using a disc-less electronic version of the PS5, one major, expensive con - is the cost of games. I can almost always find the games I want on sale or at some sort of substantial discount at my local Walmart, Target, BB, Amazon. The PS store is horrible, treterous if you will, at providing meaningful discounts. For example, right now I can get current year Madden and NBA games for $30/ea. If I want Madden for PS5 - I have to pay the $99 version. NBA - $70. So as of today, $170 for two games vs $60 plus some tax. The $100 up front savings between the two just doesn't cut it for me. The PS5 E-version would be amazing value if PS Store would match sales of their distributors.

    Amazing gaming console! I normally use Xbox, but wanted to try out the Playstation 5. Other than how the console actually looks, the Playstation is fantastic. Kudos to Best Buy for making it easy for the average Joe to purchase. Their purchasing system prohibits bots from purchasing from the drop.

    Once I snagged one of these playstation 5 consoles within a few short days I was able to pick it up from my local Best Buy and was extremely satisfied with how simple the process was. Not to mention the console was in excellent shape. 10/10 would definitely recommend

    Though it was a pain to get, the Playstation 5 is pretty great. Playing it side by side with my PS4 Pro, it is so much faster and more fluid. The controller's battery is ok, seems to run low pretty quickly. You have to change the settings for the feedback in vibration, for triggers, and the rest.

    Worth it in every sense...hard to pick up a PS4 again. The speed of everything (games, apps, streaming) is as advertised. It took me more than a month to finally get one, so glad it happened. To me, its every bit as good as the Xbox Series X which I have as well...booth machines are equally amazing.

    Was finally able to get my hands on the "rare" Playstation 5 at retail price. As I previously owned a Playstation 4, I was very excited to get hold of the new next-gen console. Off the bat, I was very happy to see and experience the new Sony technology and features that was offered in this console.

    Great console with great games, Spiderman Miles Morales was a great launch tittle, Astro playroom really shows the capabilities of the new controller, the OS is fast and the controller feels great while playing, if you like Sony exclusives and want to also play good third party games then PS5 is for you

    Love the console. The OS is not as intuitive as you'd expect, but boy is it pretty. The controller is world-class. Was easy to setup and adding additional memory was a snap, literally. Just have to snap off the top and you're two screws away from an upgrade.

    Fantastic system overall. The controller is rather interesting. It fits my wife’s small hands beautifully and it’s mostly comfortable for my larger hands, but the taper at the end can cause some cramping. Other than that though, works beautifully and is whisper quiet.
