    Great system so far. Severe lack of games at launch. Controller is definitely the best part of the new system so far. It will be a better investment long term.

    I have been waiting a long time to get a PS5 and with Best Buy's new queue system to purchase, it made it substantially easier to purchase.

    Great looking console. The PS5 comes with a lot of power for all of your gaming needs. Easy setup and it plays compatible PS4 games along with the PS5 games.

    Great new console. It's huge, but it includes a stand that works for it to be positioned vertical or horizontal. It was tough to find but well worth it.

    This console is a monster in size, but is very well designed and built for proper cooling. It was easy to set up and get started and it runs games perfectly!

    My son had the ps4 pro before and got the ps5 as s Christmas present. He said the main difference is in the controller and the layout. So far works perfectly.

    The PS5 lives up to the hype, with the right TV the HDR really pops. And Ray tracing is top tier. Best controller I’ve ever had too

    This would be a home run of a console for me if it was fully backwards compatible like what Microsoft is doing with the Series X. Not too many games are out for it right now and I would love to player older PlayStation titles over hdmi. Plus it can sometimes be a real pain to figure out the upgrade path for PS4 games. I’m also not the biggest fan of the size and shape of the console itself.

    Long long long time gamer here...so my last 20 years has been all Xbox. I got lucky and was able to get a PS5. I love it. I absolutely love it. The load screen is insanely fast, the frame rates the games even ps+ is great. Truthfully I’m sure you are going to get great play out of both systems. For me it was about gaming and less about media. PlayStation gives you that media but it’s not all cluttered like on the xbox. In the end I’m super happy and my kids are having a blast. Crazy to think I started with an Atari and they are starting with a PS5. Isn’t technology cool?

    Worth every penny. Goes from off to in a game in about 60 seconds at most. Loading speed in games is next to nothing. If you can get your hands on one, do it!!
