    Large and heavy but the system is quiet and doesn’t overheat. Ease of use and though there aren’t many exclusives out yet the graphics and gameplay are showing too be amazing.

    Had it for about 2 years now and no issues. Games load very fast. Console is quiet as long as you dust it accasionaly. The glossy bit in the center can be prone to scratches so id recommend some cover for that. Overall it's the best console I've had so far, the only big downside is that it kinda lacks in the storage size. For the controller, the haptic feedback is a very neat feature. Games I play often tho I turn it off. The joysticks lasted ab a year and a half before getting noticable stick drift. That's one issue with newer PlayStation controllers. My PS3 controller lasted me a good 4 years.

    Fantastic piece of gaming hardware. The ps5 runs quietly. The design and finish are beautiful. Overall it is a bit large but I don’t mind it. The controller is awesome and it’s going to change the industry.

    I have owned a PlayStation unit since PS1 and every update is better then the last. This is no exception. The processing power, graphics and new UI are amazing. It takes a little bit to get used to because it is different from the PS4, but that is part of the fun for me. I am disappointed there is no optical port for my headphones I use, but with an adapter, that problem is solved. I like the design and the new controller is amazing. I can't wait to see where PS takes this new console. I do hope they activate the M2 drive soon though. Space is definitely an issue. I was also very lucky to get one at this time because of all the bots out there taking these from people that actually want to use them.

    I finally managed to luck out and snag the PS5 and it’s a great system so far with an exciting lineup of games soon to be released. Hopefully it will be easier to get soon. The system was easy to set up and transferring the data from my PS4 was easy too. I love that they included backwards compatibility with PS4 games and that some games are even getting a free upgrade if you already own them. Load times are almost non existent and the system boots up immediately which is great. Astros Playroom is included and it is a fun but short game that shows off the system and controller. I picked up Demons Souls and the graphics for that game are amazing! Can’t wait to try more games in the future!

    I absolutely love my PS5. I bought it in January of last year when it was super hard to get your hands on one, and most people were paying crazy prices to get one, I was able to get this one at BB for $499 because I was lucky and caught them while they had a new shipment in. I can play all my games with amazing image quality and performance, and also stream video from just about any streaming service that you could want. It also works as a Blue-Ray player which is awesome. Could not be more happy with my purchase, I use my PS5 everyday and will be using it for years to come.

    PS5 so far has been amazing. Fast UI, fast load times, consistent high frame rates and a lot of great games! I enjoyed the pre-installed Astro’s Playroom more than I thought I would. The console is bulky and big but it runs quiet. I did purchase the digital version which looks better to me without the disc drive hump. It all depends on your preference though. Not having a disc drive works for me since I have good network speeds. Overall, I cannot wait to see what more this generation of gaming has to offer! If you’re having trouble getting a PS5, don’t give up! And don’t buy from a scalper. Just be patient and keep trying, more are on the way! Soon, you too, will be enjoying next gen goodness!

    The best PS console to date

    So far I am loving my PS5. backwards compatible games running at 69FPS if unlocked frame rates, blazing load times on optimized last gen games. Almost non detectable load times on miles morales. The UI is sleek, the controller feels great with the heptic feedback and adaptive triggers with Astro playroom which blows me away. I do need folders on the UI and need all ps plus collection games optimized for the PS5. It’s a no brainer to get PS5 for $500 when I paid $600 on PS3 day one. PS5 is very powerful and already prove so far that it can get close to 120 FPS and is out performing Xbox series x in FPS slightly in some new games like Valhalla and definitely with load times on the new release games.

    I bought this on a whim since it was available. Normally a pc/Xbox gamer. I was at first annoyed with how big the system was but after firing it up pleasantly surprised. The controller is better than the ps4 one being slightly larger making the ergonomics better. The system is quite. The few PS5 ready games such as Spider-Man and Cold War look very good and run at 60fps which is welcome from the normal 30fps you get on consoles. Also pleasantly surprised my pc usb wired headset works with the PS5 along with the sidetone function by inserting it into the Ps5 USB port. Works well in a desktop situation not so much the living room. I can recommend if you are into Sony exclusives.

    So far I played astro bot, with my sons. Graphics are good the controller makes it even better for gameplay. Hope this console lasts a long time, after struggling to get console thanks to my wife she got me this as a gift. I will update my review once I play other games. So far I do recommend the Ps5 .

    Amazing console runs games like never before. First off the graphics are amazing running games at 4K and keeping a smooth 60 FPS to go with it, also the Load times are essentially gone (extinct) for a better of a word and most of all there’s a lot of games currently on the market and soon to be release exclusives, Also the level of immersion into some games is incredible I personally have never experienced this before but it can only be achieved by there revolutionary haptics feedback duel sense wireless controller, at first I thought it was a gimmick but it’s far from that really, but with that being said the experience so far has been amazing and I’m having a blast playing games again.

    I've been a HUGE PlayStation fan boy ever since the PlayStation 2, and the PlayStation 5 genuinely does feel like a PS3 that was made for the current generation, in the best way possible. I love my PS5 and this will be the greatest gaming console for the next decade, no doubt about it!

    While it was difficult to get one, it is well worth the pain, sweat and tears(lots of tears). The graphics are quite a step up from its predecessor and it is really fast. Loading times dropped significantly. The haptic feedback on the controller is zone specific and has a completely different feel.they don’t seem to last as long as the DS4 though so get 2 so you don’t have to be plugged in. The adaptive triggers provide haptic feedback as well. The new menu system is clean and easy to read and they made the store specific to your console which is nice since not all PS4 games work on it. I’m in love with mine, especially at a time when entertainment is scarce.

    If you have been debating on the ps5 or the Xbox without question but the ps5. I started with the Xbox due to I couldn’t find a ps5. It was cool but when I finally got my ps5 I was blown away by the design of the new system and controller. The new controller is really something that I’ve never experienced in playing games and can’t wait to see how they use this controller in future games. It really gives you a next gen console feel. I haven’t purchased any ps5 games yet for it but I have played some of my ps4 games that used to take forever to load and what a difference now they load in about 1/4 of the time. I highly recommend this system if you can find one.

    It's next gen gaming and it's great. My favorite part so far has been the controller, which feels weird to say, but it's a game changer. There are only a handful of games that take advantage of the tech, but when they do I always think to myself, "This is next gen!". It does wonders on old games as well, I was able to play Control without all the stuttering and hitches on my PS4 Pro. Games load super quick. If I had to say something bad about it, it would be that the disc drive is very loud, and for some strange reason it kicks in even when not playing the disc in the drive. Like, if watching Netflix, the disc drive will just kick in and it's loud.

    Graphics and performance are a big upgrade from PS4 but the best part is the new controller. Only complaint I have is the console is huge looking forward to a “slim” version in the future.
