    The king

    This is the king of consoles. Sure there aren't really any games out for this yet and there certainly are flaws mostly around external drives. It plays all of my ps4 games. Other than mlb20, I don't see much of an upscale. That specific game just plays better. I haven't found any games that work with the camera yet (even dance 2021 doesnt). Its far from perfect, but firmware is going to hopefully fix these issues. The interface takes a little getting used to, but you won't regret this purchase. One thing I will say is if you can't get it at MSRP, don't buy it off a scalper. There will be way more early next year and like I said there's nothing really out for it yet.

    Ps5 does everything i expect and everything transferred really easy from the ps4 and still keeps the ps4 relevant/useful. A lot of upgrades from the ps4. Do not miss the disc drive

    I live the PlayStation bug fan of PlayStation since the PlayStation 1 besides the PlayStation 3 which was no good but the PlayStation 5 I would consider a great investment and I live it !

    The graphics are in the details, I play sports games from a distance they look the same but up close is where you see the difference from PS5 to PS4. The controller takes it the next step.

    Very affordable next Gen gaming option IF (big if) you can ever find this version in stock. Perfect for those who do not care about disc/physical games.

    This looks absolutely amazing. Graphics are amazing. I’ve had it for a week now and can’t stop playing it. Just got the headphones and just makes this unit even more amazing to game with.

    Amazing, issue is how difficult it was to get! The graphics are great and Spiderman is awesome too. Sony really does need to make it easier to purchase though.

    Lucked out and got it on launch day. Play with it very little as I’m used to back buttons on my PS4. 8xx storage is almost a joke. COD MW and CW eat up almost 500gb. Thankfully they just allowed external storage for ps5 games. When Sony releases a back button for the dual sense I’ll use it more. Faster load times don’t seem as fast as I was expecting

    It exceeded my expectations. Wow. What an amazing console. No disappointments here. Was so fast and easy to pick up too. I can't wait to see what more it can do as more new games come out.

    I had to buy another ps5 for my kids cause they kept fighting over the disc version and as I stated before the ps5 is amazing and fast. It works so well on a 4k tv!

    works perfectly, box was pretty clean as well. pretty much what you expect for a console. definitely a steal if you can grab this at retail price instead of resell.

    Great system a few draw backs (no vrr yet, no 1440p yet) but none the less it's been fun waiting on true next gen titles though. Should of been 1tb minimum

    Best Buy was the only safe place in getting the PS5. I’m using the ps5 since launch without any problem. I can explain how amazing the new PS5 controller feels, a next ten feeling for sure.

    Great console! The speed is amazing compared to my previous ps4. The ray tracing coupled along with the ability to go 60 fps on many games contributes towards a beautiful experience.
