    I cant believe i had actually got my hands on a ps5. The startup is pretty easy with the app and the software is absolutely beautiful. playstation will always be top tier. the download speeds are fast and the graphics with a 4k tv are immaculate.

    This is true next generation of console gaming. The expandable ssd will be a welcome feature once available. It just feels fast from the moment you first boot it up. Paired the best controller of this generation you truly get a piece of brilliant engineering.

    Sony’s PlayStation 5 is a serious upgrade to any console gamers setup. From load times as fast as a few seconds to the visual fidelity available, as well as higher and more consistent frame rates, Sony’s latest gaming hardware is truly something to behold.

    One of the best consoles Sony has ever produced. The menu is much more condensed and extremely easy to navigate, the aesthetic of the console is simply amazing, loading screens are a thing of a past, and the graphics on Ps5 games are beyond amaIng quality.

    I’m loving the PS5!!! I got both this and the Xbox Series X and while I enjoy the new Xbox, PlayStation is where it’s at. The new UI is really nice and the controller really is a game changer. Everything about it is really unique and new. Worth every penny!

    If you're getting into the PS5 without any prior history with the PS4 then I'd definitely recommend thinking about going full digital for the future and save the $100, but if you're like me with a backlog of physical PS4 games already then the Disc/Standard Edition PS5 is totally worth paying up for. Thanks to the backwards compatibility with most PS4 titles, both physical and digital, (not to mention quicker load speeds and other graphical upgrades) this new PS5 just entirely replaces my PS4 Slim in every way. This reminds me of when I first got my PS Vita and how it instantly antiquated my PSP, doing everything better and doing even more on top of that, literally game changing! Now all you need is a backwards compatible PS3, a PS Vita, and a Standard PS5, and you'll be able to play the entire library of PlayStation games covering all consoles.

    Overpriced and took ages to get, but that's Sony's fault, not BB. At least I can say order & pickup process was quick and painless.

    This PlayStation 5 was my first grab here at Best Buy local pickup after I gave up on the first preorder. I was managed to grab one because I have it in my cart for while and waiting Best Buy to drop again. I don’t understand why is so hard to grab one.

    This is truly an upgrade from the PS4. Much quicker loading time, durable and responsive controller. Setup and data transfer was automatic, just took clicking on a couple of prompts. The Mike and speaker built into the controller is awesome too.

    Being lucky enough to have scored one on release day, it’s hard to complain. I’m not even completely sure if the few issues I have had were even the result of the console itself and not that of the game. Runs super fast and smooth. Wifi is much better, and the new UI is so much better. I love that they didn’t leave the PS4 players behind as you can not only play cross gen, but chat even works great. I have had a lot of issues when playing the new Call of Duty Cold War. Game crashing and freezing. Even shutting the console off. But no issues while playing anything else. Overall I’m very happy!

    Come on, it's a PS5. What is there not to like? 4K graphics at 120Hz, 8K at 60Hz, tends to get a bit hot after playing high demanding games from time to time but not hot enough to where I wouldn't get one.

    This was a Christmas present for my sons. The look on their faces unwrapping and seeing this was well worth it! The console is a beast, loads a lot faster and plays smoother than our old PS4. Glad we can also play PS4 games on it as well. I'm a happy dad!

    Solid upgrade to the PS Consoles Major downside is limited availability If you have a lot of games will probably need to upgrade memory unless you don't mind erasing/ reloadingThe PS5 games are big (in terms of storage)

    The 60fps alone is enough reason to get this system. Spiderman Remastered is out of this world. If you can get your hands on one, I highly recommend the ps5 as Sony has done it again and I look forward to future games that are launching on the system.

    Purchasing the system required a great deal of effort due to availability but it was worth it. Thus far I have been impressed with the graphics and SSD speed. Playing games on an OLED tv makes you appreciate the system even more.

    Loving this piece of tech. Next Gen gaming is here and Sony is still getting it right. The speed of loading games, the look of the system and crisp 4k visuals will make you be immersed. It's backwards compatible so you can play ps4 games as well.

    Definitely worth the wait and long nights of just sitting on websites trying to get. Although it’s big and takes lots of space still fits where my PS4 was. The loading time is next to nun for almost all games even GTA doesn’t take a year to load anymore!
