    Game choices are pretty slim right now but even playing the upscaled PS4 games with waaaaaaaay faster load times has been extremely enjoyable. Don’t give the scalpers your money and be patient, it’ll happen!

    Games look good and UI is intuitive. Definitely doesn’t meet the hype. SeriesX is much faster based on my personal experience. Overall, it’s good. Kinda want to give 3 stars strictly for digital. It sounds good saving a hundred bucks, but PlayStation has been mad stingy with decent PS5 games - $60 or $70 while you watch them constantly go on sale for $10-30 less on Amazon with the physical version. Also, there really shouldn’t be such high demand with such a lackluster library right now.

    Amazing machine. The power and the graphics are amazing. I even bought a new TV for it to utilize its specs. The games are beautiful and so are the movies since a 4K drive is now included.

    We love the graphics and gameplay the PS5 brings to gaming. Add a new OLED tv and you got the whole package. We love that its backwards compatible as well - that is a gift to playstation loyal customers for sure!

    Buy this for the exclusive games and to play PS4 games at a better quality. I wish the actual console was a little smaller in size (can't fit vertically under my TV cabinet) but it's manageable.

    Amazing system. Worth buying this for the ability to play both ps4 and ps5 games. I wish the hard drive was bigger but if you have a fast internet connection, redownloading games is fine. Best controller ever

    Next Generation gaming is finally here. The PS5 is a fantastic console. I would recommend it but would say try to buy one at MSRP. Not so mind blowing it is worth scalper prices. It is fantastic though.

    It’s a PS4 Pro on steroids and the infinity gauntlet equipped with all six infinity gems ready to kick the universe butt. The dual sense makes the Xbox control looks like an Atari joystick.

    Absolutely amazing and well worth the upgrade from the PS4. My only complaint would be the storage and how games take up so much of it. Wish there was a way to change that as far as cloud downloading goes.

    Had to get but worth the wait! Everything that is out for it plays beautifully. I wish more games were out already, and that some of the ones that are that were upgrades from the PS4 versions were free, or at least a lower pay, $10 or less, buying a games again just for the increased performance and visuals feel a little stingy. With that said, as developers get a handle on how to develop for this system, I think we'll see some really incredible things!

    Fantastic console. I own a series X and PS5 and even though the specs are better on Xbox, the PS5 has a sleek design, easy UI, and possibly the most comfortable controller I’ve ever used.

    I know there is so much hype around this machine and I’m understanding why based on playing PS4 games alone let alone the PS5 games. The Dualsense controller is amazing at putting your sensations in the game.
