    Excellent choice for those who prefer digital over disc. I have no problems playing games, and in general this a great unit for those who don’t want to spend as much for the disc unit. Highly recommend it.

    What can I say? Absolutely beast of a console. Although hugh in size, it sits upright nicely on the entertainment center and an eye catcher. Feel sorry for those who didn't get to have it on release. Hopefully, they will by the end of the year.

    My expectations for the PS5 were extremely high after my phenomenal experience with the PS4. Thankfully, Sony's next-gen console delivers and improves upon its predecessor in almost every aspect.

    I’ve been an Xbox fan for years. The PS5 blew me away with the dualsense controller - so much fun and so many opportunities with future titles. My only concern is that storage continues to be an issue but hopefully Sony will fix that in 2021.

    I love the PS5! Gaming is next level and the controller’s haptic feedback is incredible. Paired with a nice 4k tv, we are thrilled about playing new titles! Hopefully these become more accessible soon so more people can play!

    Excellent machine, but if you've owned a PS4, wait

    Although the process of getting one of these things is very arduous, when you do get one it is very relieving. I am coming from a PS3, not a PS4 so there is a wealth of games that I just was not able to try that I am able to now. For those of you are coming from a PS4 (especially PS4 Pro), I'd suggest you to wait there is little reason to rush out and get one of these. There are no exclusives currently available besides Demon's Souls and it seems in the future a lot of them will be coming to the PS4/Pro anyway. So yeah, I'd say this is really only a must have if you never owned a PS4 ever. So far my unit is quiet, with no coil whine just a little blade whirring and clipping which is not the best but OK. So far I am satisfied having a gigantic library of games to get through and the build quality of my machine.

    The PS5 is Sony’s best console to date. Effortlessly fast and unexpectedly innovative, the PS5 is more than capable of shouldering the burden of expectation it has been handed by those who have preordered it in their droves.

    What can I say, it was a journey in getting this. But it is all worth it. I actually like the design and the fans are quite. Now the power that this has is amazing for the price. No issues thus far and all my games runs smoothly and improved.

    As great as expected, truly feels next-generation as the PS4 did to the PS3. The PlayStation 5 has been silent, fast, and refreshing compared to the older models. Most games boot up the same if not faster as a 1,500 dollar Gaming PC.

    Pretty cool console, I own an xbox series x but I mainly play the ps5. The stepup from last gen is pretty huge in my opinion and the ui is really snappy compared to the ps4 ui. Adaptive triggers seem a bit like a gimmic but there's some instsnces where it adds a lot to the gameplay. My only complaint I have is the storage. 1 tb is essentially dwindled down to roughly 800 gb and despite ps5 games having surprisingly smaller install sizes, the storage space gets eaten pretty quickly. Hopefully they enable the extra ssd slot soon.

    Love the graphics on the ps5 but a little to bulky for me, I don’t know why they made it so massive & also need more title for the ps5 exclusive only

    I'm impressed. It's bigger than I expected, but it looks nice once you sit it on your TV stand. Looks futuristic yet tacky. In my personal opinion, looks doesn't really matter as long it can play next gen games well

    Is it big, yes. Does it look cool, yes. Does it have really nice graphics on a 4k HDR TV, yes. With proper 48 gbps hdmi cables and a tv with HDMI 2.1 ports capable of 4k 120HZ, can it push 4k120, yes. If you want one and can find one, get it!

    Been waiting for a long time to get one and it was worth the wait. The only thing I had a issue with is the wifi connection , game keep glitching (warzone). It runs better with a landline connected to the router. Besides that its awesome

    This is by far my favorite console. I have the Xbox Series X and also a Nintendo switch. I had to subscribe to twitter accounts dedicated to finding ps5’s just to find it. But it worked. It’s a great way to spend my downtime.

    So glad I was able to get one of these near release. It’s an amazing console and I’ve been playing it constantly. Only a few good games out at the moment but more are coming soon. Definitely pick up if you can get it at retail price.

    Got mine on a Wednesday morning (PST) around 8:30 or something like that. I know they have dropped Tuesdays as well, they are more random than GPUs. Follow Falcodrin on twitch and his twitter account. Patience is a virtue. When you see a yellow "add to cart" button, click it and DO NOT REFRESH. It should change to "please wait" and then change back to yellow after a few minutes. Click it once yellow again and if it adds to cart, sprint to checkout! Also, if the location selector is being tricky you might need to specify a different store than one you'd normally prefer. Email confirmation faster than text. Good luck.

    The PlayStation 5 is amazing. The highlight is definitely the controller and the pre-installed game (Astro’s Playroom) is a lot of fun. That game really utilizes all the functions of the new controller. I did not give this product a 5 star rating because the system totally crashed after playing Spider-Man remastered. Afterwards I could not use my PS5 at all. I had to send it to SONY to fix it. Thankfully it still had warranty. It was a big inconvenience, but I suspect I got a fluke. Don’t know if this is a common problem or not. Besides that, I Love the PS5.

    My first console had a defective disc drive that ate up my disc. I used my manufacturer’s warranty with Sony and got a replacement as well as my disc back in less than 2 weeks, I was really happy with the speed of that process. The console is gorgeous and looks really good in the vertical position. Having 4K quality is such a blessing. The Disney+ app is not 4K yet and many other streaming apps are still PS4 versions. You’re not hurting by waiting for more PS5 games to come out and for the UI to be upgraded to allow consistent 4K quality and themes.
