    The PS5 works great. I was a bit surprised to find out the 12 month financing offer I selected at checkout was not on my account & can no longer be applied because it has been 30 days since purchase. The product works as described & is being enjoyed thoroughly.

    This one went to my brother and he loves it! I was there when he set it up and it was spectacular. Packaged well, but the outer shell with the logo and design is very fragile and rips easily. It's super quiet and this system looks awesome being symetrical!

    If you’re a gamer then there is no question on getting this system. Several PS4 games come with free PS5 updates and the library is starting to pick up for new games. Nothing earth shattering but everything is improved upon from last Gen

    Awesome console and very happy with it! A bit bulky but definitely not a deal breaker. Another top notch Sony product. Just have to be patient for more game releases that take advantage of the system's capabilities. Games are stunning on my Sony 4k tv.

    Was able to get this a year ago to date, and so far no issues or complaints, if you’re able to get one you should. Playstation is about to get some great exclusives in the coming year, and these games will be impressive on the PS5.

    Amazing console. I have both the Xbox and the ps5. Both are amazing I do love the look of the ps5. The controller is nicely made. Love the built in speaker makes it easy if you’re waiting on a Mic To arrive. You won’t be disappointed if you’re lucky to get one

    Feel very lucky to have got one of these. I was nervous to play it at first with all the launch bugs, but since most of them have been fixed Im really enjoying it. The biggest downside is storage space so at some point I will need to look into external storage.

    Great Console with Minor Setback

    Big improvement over the PS4 and would easily be a 5/5 star review if the streaming quality wasn't so awful. Before you blame my internet, I'm hardwired to my router and I get 500mb down and 25mb upload which is more than efficient to stream 720p and 1080p. PS5 streaming doesn' allow and adjusting or modifying the bitrate at which you stream, resulting in a poor image quality. Everything else is fantastic. Controller feels great, UI looks great. I've recently been playing Returnal and it's just wonderful. Hope anyone who manages to snag this console enjoys it. Have a good day!

    The console itself seems amazing. However, I purchased this as a gift and will have to wait until Christmas to see how great it truly is. The queue system was somewhat helpful, but it is difficult if you can’t find a shop with stock

    I have been able to score both the ps5 and the Series X. I have not had a PlayStation since the ps2 and was thinking it was time to get another Sony. I am very impressed with the Ps5. The look and feel of the software and the controllers are unmatched.

    Love the system, the haptic controller is by far my favorite aspect of the PS5. It adds a new immersion that we have not seen in gaming yet as well as the trigger pressure. Can't wait for more games to come out for the system. Overall Sony has not disappointed.

    The PS5 is great!!!! Love everything about it from the controller to the system itself to how the games look and feel. Definitely worth the wait and stress to pick it up. Now only thing is more games have to come out for it, but so far it is great.

    Finally got a hold of one and this system doesn't disappoint. I have a high end PC build but got this for all the Sony exclusives which is well worth it! Got some NVME drives to increase the storage. The remote play is really cool as well.

    The PS5 is off to a good start. As with every new console generation there are some things that need to get ironed out and updated but its off to a better start than the PS4 was at launch. The speed of jumping in and out of PS5 games alone makes it worth it for me.

    Amazing gaming console and awesome exclusive game titles make this an easy purchase. The PS5 dual sense controller is night and day better than the XBOX controller. Definitely add a PCIe x4 M.2 SSD to this for extra storage!

    Got lucky and found Best Buy had a few in stock. Definitely an upgrade from the PS4 pro. It’s a bulky console so make sure you have the adequate space for it.

    Don't support low life scum scalpers. It is worth the wait to get it here and support our local businesses. This is one of the best PlayStations ever even though I'm not a huge fan of the new space-age design. The redesigned controllers feel great!

    My son has been playing with his ps5 since he got it after his birthday. Wanted to get it as a Christmas gift no luck. Then his birthday I was able to order it a couple days after his birthday so it was a late gift but he was happy. The graphics are amazing.

    As one of the lucky few to get one of these, it's worth the wait for those who didn't get one on day one. Keep your F5 fingers moving and you'll eventually get one. I really don't need to write more, as the news regarding this console is dominating all platforms.

    If I can only own 1 platform, I’d choose the PS5

    This is so far my favorite platform to game on, and I own a PC with RTX 3090, an Xbox Series X and a Nintendo Switch. Pros: 1. It costs $500. I haven’t tried to build a $500 gaming PC but I doubt you can have nearly have as much power as the PS5 even if you manage to tighten that budget. And it wouldn’t be fun to find PC parts given only a $500 budget. 2. It has a large library of exclusives. Ghost of Tsushima, Bloodborne, Demon’s Souls, The Last of Us series, Uncharted series, Spider-Man, God of War, The Last Guardian, Infamous series, Gravity Rush Series, the complete Yakuza series, Persona 5/Royal, the list goes on. You won’t find them anywhere else all conveniently gathered on one platform. 3. It is powerful. The gap to PC is smaller than ever. The PC fanboys can no longer gloat about their SSD or 4K60. Cons: You’ll sink so much time on it that you need to reconsider your priorities.
