    Great console and has run mostly smooth since i’ve had it for a month. The only problem is playing some games, it can crash occasionally (2 or 3 times). But other then that the console is great!

    Awesome...Fantastic...Way To Go Sony! The PS5 is all that it's cracked up to be! My husband adores this game console, better known as his "new toy" and I just had my first "spin at the wheel". Now, I love it too! The funny thing is, I'm not even a gamer. But, this console is awesome, hands down!

    Exceeded most of my expectations right off the bat. Only reason it doesn't get a 5 is the lack of storage. I find it unacceptable that a next-gen system has such little storage out of the box.

    Absolutely love the PS5. So tough to get, but it was worth it! I stream all of my content, so the Digital Edition was the right choice for me, especially with all of the killer apps and updates coming our way. You can’t go wrong, and eventually, I’m looking forward to expanding the hard drive.

    Needs more storage!!! That’s my only complaint. Otherwise it’s a solid console. The PlayStation network service keeps adding perks as well.

    I thought I could hold out on a PS5 purchase since Miles Morales was also available on the PS4 but after seeing so many incredible videos and screenshots, I knew I needed one. I was able to snag one just before Christmas and I do not regret an impulse buy of $500. This is it, chiefs. Get you one.

    Good Console, Clunky UI

    Would honestly give it 4.5 stars if I could. Console is great, worked right out of the box with no issues and I've had a great time with it. My only issue is that the UI is very convoluted and clunky compared to the UIs of the PS3 and PS4. That said, as I get used to it more I may come around.

    Two words. Premium. Insane. The console and UI is a premium experience. It’s that good. The controller is flat out insane. I can put into words how crazy it is. I just hope developers use it because it is jaw dropping insane. Kept saying “wow” as I discovered the controller features playing Astro bot.

    Quality is unquestionably great. Expensive, hard to get, but great. What surprises me is that It has brought my sons and I more together. I didn’t think it would. They kind of enjoy playing together more often with this new toy.

    One of the most sought-after consoles in 2020 and I was able to finally snag one via best buy for my nephew. So far so good no issues. i can't get him to stop playing it. But from what I can see I'm the best Aunt ever lol. Got it part of a bundle with the Spider-Man game.

    The best console available, simple as that. Definitely a must buy for everyone. My previous ps4 got me 10 plus years and is still running, if this gets me at least half then the hefty price tag is irrelevant. The console is huge and definitely has no shortage of power. Sony is the best at consoles

    Great Console, would give 10 stars if i could. If anyone can get one id definitely get this over the new xbox. Ive been able to play both consoles and the ps5 is going to dominate the next generation of gaming more than the ps5 did. The load time in non-existent, and has impeccable download speed.

    Was very lucky to get my hands on one of these on launch day. The new features of the controller have me very excited for things to come for the future of gaming. I highly recommend playing the Astro’s world game first so that you can experience the new controller features. Will blow your mind!

    Spectacular console! Nevermind the XBox Series X having 16 extra compute units... It's the optimization and game devs that knock the PS5 out of the park for a superior experience. And this is coming from a PCMR guy with way too many high end builds at home.

    The PlayStation 5 is amazing if you choose to buy it. It will be worth your money and has a lot of great features. Being able to play games with higher frame rates and 4K resolution was a big upgrade from the PS4. The dual sense controller has also blown me away with all its unique features.

    As a kid my stepson wasn’t loved by his biological parents so when I adopted him I got him the original PlayStation and ever since it’s been a tradition to getting him the latest PlayStation and even though this was hard to get we somehow kept the tradition alive. Love you step son J
