    Quick, responsive, and provides a next gen feeling. The enhanced games definitely feel great although there isn’t much of a selection right now. The only drawback is the very limited internal storage which I’ve had to manage a few times to play my various digital games

    Love it! PlayStation is awesome. I’m happy I finally have it. It’s bigger than I thought. It runs quiet and looks nice. Haven’t played any ps5 games yet so I can’t really comment on graphics or anything. Awesome that it works with my ps4 games though!

    I am going to utilize this review by telling you the pros and cons of the PlayStation 5 console. The pros are the fact that the PS5's custom SSD speed is unmatched in the gaming industry. With fast loading screens and rendering times this is a perfect next gem SSD. Another pro is the exclusive titles. Games such as Spider Man: Miles Morales and Demons Souls leave a very good 1st impression of its games. Another pro is being able to play your PS4 games on the PS5 via disk or a digital library with your PSN account. The cons are Xbox does in fact have better graphics and also the games have gone up in prices (59.99$ to 69.99$) so that could affect the sales of some games. Also this console will be very hard to get on launch day so be ready to order. But picking your console in reality comes all down to personal preference. There is no superior console. If you like the Xbox, buy it. If you like the PS5, buy it. This is next get folks.

    Wow, what an incredible piece of hardware! I can't wait to see what the future has in store for gaming. The PS5 runs so quietly, I can't hear it even during strenuous gameplay. Especially compared to my old PS4 which sounded like a jet engine taking off in my living room.

    Great console. Clearly an upgrade over the PS4(Pro) and finally has a legit Blu-Ray player... I like how it's future proofed for 8K resolution. The PS5 games that are currently out are pretty good, but I've found myself playing a lot of PS4 games still, which is fine.

    Aside from being hard to obtain it is a great console. The redesigned controller fits better in my hand as well as the haptic feedback is utilizing in very interesting ways. Ready for more games to be released to take advantage of the power of the console.

    The definitive console. The device is quick, runs fast, and having the compatibility with PS4 is awesome, considering there aren't that much PS5 exclusives yet. The purchase was easy, albeit it took a bit of time to monitor restocks.

    This console is amazing. Its quiet, fast, and smooth. I am not a fan of the big clunky design. The graphics is very good and a definite upgrade from the playstation 4. As everyone knows, its very hard to get but once you get it, you be very pleased.

    Easy pickup option for being in the heart of the holiday season. Item was as described and I received it right before Christmas. No complaints and definitely is an update over my previous console. Actually, no comparison when it comes to features and speed of loading...

    I have both the PS5 and the XBSX and I can honestly say I enjoy the PS5 more. Even thought he XBSX is a more powerful console, the content is just much better on the PS5. I know it's hard to purchase one right now, but be patient and you'll get one.

    This console has been a great experience so far. It took me a little while to get used to the new interface design but as I have used it I enjoy it. I have yet to play too many PS5 games but even the PS4 games look so much better in detailing on this console.

    Where do I start! Thank you for the fast pickup! The workers were so friendly! Outside and inside! The man talked with me about the PS5c we have a nice conversation with some laughs. The woman was willing to go get the other copy of Spider-Man. Thank you so much Best Buy!

    Not worth upgrade over PS4 pro at the moment I notice no gains on my ps5 over my PS4 pro with a upgraded ssd i tested on my 4K OLED TV my 4K BenQ gaming monitor and the new LG Nano 4K @120hz and noticed no gains whatsoever in current games over my PS4 pro so I would wait till the hype dies and not pay high resale prices Storage sucks you only get 667gb i can’t only install 6 games callduty warzone was 150gb alone you can’t use a extend storage and the NvME ssd slot is useless since it’s currently disabled

    So lucky to have my order. Ordered for pickup in person. No issues with pickup, very easy transaction. PS5 is very good, nice sleek design, lots of extra features and extra features for the controller. Noticed faster processing and excellent graphics.

    Took a while to get it, but kept my eyes and ears open, and was able to snag one from Best Buy. The console is fantastic! The few games that are out right now are pretty impressive already. Looking forward to seeing the progression of the console over the coming years.

    Well, its a PS5. You either like it, or you don't. I have a PS5 and Series X, the PS5 blows the X out of the water in my personal opinion, especially with the controller, but I prefer the Xbox UI, and most of my friends play the box.

    Love this PS5 Console! I have experienced both the Digital and Disc version, and although I think I like the disc version more, this product is still GREAT! Super easy to use and the speed and reaction of the controller is amazing!
