    Great gameplay and graphics. Lack of audio optical port is disappointing. Even with it plugged into my TV it doesn't split chat and game volumes. It's also strange that the console itself isn't flat, which means you are required to use the stand that's included and you can't place anything (controller) on the top of it. I love the PS4 backwards compatibility and how I can play Call of Duty with my PS4 friends.

    Got it for my husband as a surprise. He’s been hooked on it ever since. The graphics are REALLY good. Controller has cool features. It’s worth the struggle to get!

    What can I say that hasn't already been said? It's large, but it is a stellar gaming system. I still can't get used to the lightning fast load times.

    The graphics are awesome. Game download speeds are super fast. I had to drive 2 hrs away to pick it up because our store didn't offer local pickup, but worth it.

    Great gaming console. The games look fantastic just wish they were easier to buy. No issues with it and the new controllers are a joy to play on.

    Love the development of this new console. Only issue I would say it has is the size of the console. Wasn’t expecting it too be so big.

    Runs fast and mostly bug free. The stand is garbage. There is no securing mechanism for resting it horizontally. It’s big. Measure your entertainment system before you consider adding it. Also not many games take advantage of the system. Some TVs are still incompatible and cause signal loss when syncing through the hdmi2.1 cable. I’m glad I have one but honestly no one is missing much as of February 2021.

    Managed to get one and it's absolutely fantastic. Runs so quiet (coming from a launch PS4). Be aware it takes up a considerable amount of real estate.
