    Great graphics update with this next gen console. User interface has changed and I’m liking the look although it may take a little time getting familiar with all the changes. No issues with overheating or freezing up and I play 3-4hrs a day at least.

    Next generation of console gaming, buying this for the PS5 exclusive games including Spiderman Mile Morales. Great graphic, although I don't have a high end tv, still very good, Bought a Pulse 3D too, nice wireless sound experience.

    Next gen graphics! It’s amazing when paired with a 4K TV. Not too many next gen games out at the moment but playing old games with out your system sounding like a jet is amazing. If you’re lucky to snag this system...you’re in for a big treat :)

    Truly the definition of a next-gen Console! Compared to my PS4 slim, the PS5 is extremely quiet plus the load times are comparatively instant. More importantly, I am able to play all of my physical PS4 games.

    Have had it for nearly 6 months, slowly getting more and more upgrades to old games and new games. Completely worth it to upgrade from previous gen consoles. It’s completely quiet, quick to load games, and just makes gaming so smooth

    After much challenge I was able to buy the PlayStation 5 at best buy during one of their drops. The loading speed increase is significant. There isn't a ton of ps5 exclusives on the software side yet, but that should improve in the coming years.

    So far so good. The disc drive is extreme loud tho. I haven’t own any console with a disc drive in years since I game on pc and have always opted for digital games but this thing is nice looks weird next to my ps5 digital lol with that big blob

    If you only buy games digitally anyways, the PS5 digital edition is $100 cheaper and it looks better. Currently the disc model seems to be much more widely available (about 5 to 1), eventually this will be available and you’ll need to consider the price difference. The ability to purchase games from multiple retailers (more access to sale prices), buy used games, and watch UHD Blu-Ray & Blu-ray is missing from this. But if you only buy digital games anyways and don’t care about the UHD Blu-Ray player, it’s $100 cheaper for an otherwise identical performance.

    Can’t believe how hard this is still to find in 2021. I have quite a few games for it but have been putting in hours on my Nintendo Switch. Still, nice to have played both Spider-Man on it and can’t wait to replay God of War and Control on it.

    So far a wonderful machine. A bit of a monster (size-wise) but not really an issue. Could use more hard drive space but putting all the PS4 games on an external drive at least helps until we are able to increase the internal drive space.

    The console itself is amazing. The only negative thing I have to say is the lack of games to play. I honestly think that people should wait for the ps5 till more content is released. Overall the ps5 is quiet and the graphics is amazing.

    Lucked up and got this on a surprise drop online. Very smooth process and I was able to pick the store for pick up. As far as the system it’s a good improvement from the ps4 much faster and better operating system.

    Hands-down… One of the best things I have ever purchased. Makes you feel like a kid again if you grew up alongside the PlayStation and wow did this deliver in a way that changes the game. From the imagery down to the controller. Sony wins again.

    It took a few refreshes on the page but Best Buy made it easy to purchase it on their website and I was able to snag it on the first try. Pick up the following week was also easy and I was able to suprise my fiance with it. He loves it!!

    Hands down the BEST console ever! Highly recommend if you can get your hands on one. Graphics are amazing, comes with several games loaded and is worth every penny spent! We bought three extra controllers so the whole family can get in on the fun.

    Lightning fast! Set up my PS4 pro side by side to compare loading times. Very impressed with what I have. Everything was smooth with setup and had no issue. Full set up of console, updates, and download of New Spider-Man game was done within 20 min.

    I searched for weeks non stop day and night to get this bad boy and it did not disappoint. If you are a gamer this is a must have. They really outdid themselfs this time with the interface, graphics, and just all around everything.
