    Although I dislike of the constant increase of prices of the consoles, the ps5 is still a beautiful console and the graphics change from the ps4 to the ps5 is not mine blowing but it is obviously. The design is a nice up from the ps4. I can’t complain

    It just feels good to play games on the PS5

    I wasnt sure if i even cared about getting a next gen console. I was happy with my PS4 and my XBox One.....im so glad i did. Like a brand new, super upgraded computer, everything just feels better, faster, and looks prettier. The controller is the biggest improvement on the Dual Shock since they went to, two analog sticks. It feels so good in your hands. Sturdy, yet responsive....and it has a ton of tricks up its sleeve that just add to the atmosphere of playing games. Its the best controller ive ever used. Ive always preferred the Playstation sticks set up to XBox though, so YMMV. The PS5 seems like a machine with so much potential. I cant wait to see how game developers make use of it in the coming months and years. As for today - There are only a few games that make used of all the consoles new bells and whistles, but even playing PS4 games on it, is so much better (Its backwards compatible with 99% of PS4 games), youll never want to go back. Its a big beautiful beast and i love it.

    Excellent new advancement in the PlayStation evolution. Very quick loading of games and the extra internal slot for additional memory is almost a requirement with size of new games. Just wished Sony came out with its own 2 or 4 terabyte system.

    Ps5 is just amazing, I haven’t had a issue and it only loose a star because of the lack of storage and still no nvme drive update! Nba2k21, Call of duty and cyberpunk take up over 350Gb!

    Awesome gaming console. Love the next gen controllers. The buying experience was stressful only because of such a limited supply of product. Once I confirmed the purchase picking up the gaming machine was very easy as they brought it out to my car and a day earlier than anticipated!

    Took a minute, but I finally got one. I’m still waiting on the new games and the full experience, I guess. We shall see. Five stars because it looks good in hand. Oh, and I got it just in time for my birthday. I guess the bad thing about the whole experience is that none of the staff were aware they were even getting them. Which leads me to believe it’s either super hush hush or they just not in the know. Also I was able to get my hands on one with a bundle purchase that included Resident Evil: Village. Sucks I have to wait for that. Oh and one last thing, it’s crazy how only a few games have come out. Sony is playing a dangerous game!

    Loving it!!!! Such a fun console to use. The controller is unbelievable. The adaptive triggers work well. Backward compatibility works great. I was a bit nervous getting one on launch day but so far no issues with mine. Anyone looking into next gen console, I recommend getting the PS5.

    First and foremost if you're looking to buy this console, make sure you have a decent TV that can really show of the visuals. Look into Lgnanocell85. Now, for the PS5. It definitely is an upgrade from the PS4 pro! Day one I was amazed by the graphics and the UI. I don't regret my purchase.

    Digital Edition PS5 brings gaming to the EXTREME! Insanely quick load speeds, incredible graphics, especially when playing a game designed for the new console on a TV that supports 120 HZ. Only complaint is that it took so long to get one!

    I’ve had the system for a few weeks now and so far it’s great! No problems with it, runs great. it does still get the room you’re using it in pretty warm but not as warm as my ps4 used to do so that’s a plus! Also the control fits perfectly in my hands and is comfortable to play with

    Got this for our son. This PS5 is very heavy. Happy my husband was with me when we picked it up. I wouldn’t be able to carry the box. My husband kept switching hands as it was heavy. Note if it was me I would not purchase it as you need an external hard drive. After he downloaded 3 games he had no more space. This is a rip off as you buy the game so why do you have to download it into the system. Just play the game as it used to be with the older systems. This is why I wouldn’t buy it but when you have a teenager who saves his money. You get it for them. You can play PS4 games on it but you can’t use your ps5 remote to play PS4 games. Smh

    I still can’t believe that we actually have a PS5. After stalking the internet for two months. We were finally able to get one from Best Buy. They system connects to the TV with only one USB cable. That is great. The system is also a lot bigger and heavier than I thought it would be.

    The elusive ps5. Thought to be a myth by some, unattainable by others. Almost a year later I have 2 ps5 exclusive games, but enjoying the enhanced version of some ps4 games. Just with the system didn't stick out like a sore thumb in the entertainment center.

    Next gen gaming is here and it does not disappoint! It was hard to get but definitely worth it. I don’t mind the size of the console and the dual sense is a game changer. Just hope developers will take advantage of it. Overall would recommend graphics are a big improvement over the ps4.

    Amazing the new features of the remote, now you can talk there is no need for a headset and getting your ears or head tired. There is no games out there for good graphics but once they are out im sure the picture quality will be better and the ps5 is a lot faster and less on loading times

    A gift for my brother. He enjoyed playing PlayStation 5 digital edition. He was very happy to have a new one. It has an excellent quality, value, and ease of use. No needed to buy disc because it’s disc free. It has everything what you need. The price is very affordable to buy.

    Another great gaming system from Sony. While games have yet to be released to use all of the power this system has, this system is fast. Load and boot up times are faster than the PS4. Once games take advantage of the system hardware, gamers will be in for a incredible treat.

    Really great console! I have the disk version and it has some slightly annoying noise when it reads the disk, but other than that the fan noise has been way quieter than the base ps4 aka “jet engine” that I upgraded from. Side note the dual sense controller is absolutely game changing.

    It’s a generational system and playing games on it(especially SpiderMan Miles Morales) looks incredible. Can play all the games from the PS4 previously. Easy to setup and fun to just see all the news features on the PS5. Can’t wait to other new features added in the coming months by Sony.

    Absolutely love this system so sar, it arrived earlier that best buy had said which was great. No problems so far. FYI, the ps5 is considerably larger than and other sony system. I wanted to mount this on wall behind tv, but due to its size I wasn't able to. Besides that, I love it!!
