    PS5

    It took me a long time to actually get the PS5 due to it selling out so quickly. Once I ordered it though it came a few days quicker than expected and the staff at Best Buy were very helpful when I arrived. I love the PS5! The adaptive controller is my favorite.

    The newest greatest generation of gaming! I love the PS5 don't get me wrong and can't wait for some more titles to come out for it, new and ported, but the online store system needs to be opened up to competition. If they let BestBuy and even other competitors sell online instant copies of the games we would see prices everywhere including the PSStore drop for digital copies. Some titles are $20-30 cheaper at BestBuy and others for a hard disc copy. So that does need to be worked on if Sony wants this to take off and be a true better value against the disc but other than that great system!

    Great system. Amazing graphics and gameplay so far. The only two issues I face are a slightly noisy cooling fan and short battery life of the controllers.

    We all know how awesome the PS5 is already, with it's unique catalog of games and insane power at the price point vs even high powered gaming PC's. I'd like to shout out Best Buy for being the retailer who handles console sales most fairly.

    Its hard to go fully digital with a console. But the Playstation 5 makes it easy. Easily another favorite to game on and the controller is absolutely ground breaking.

    This is indeed the next gen. Anyone saying otherwise hasn't lived in just Console land and has been on the PC Tier level for too long to notice. This is next gen. Get a 4k 120hz tv and sit back and enjoy. This generation is going to be one hell of a ride for Video Games!

    Still baffled why Sony and Microsoft didn't include larger SSds, but its hard to find fault with either next gen console. Have both and love them both. We'll see how these controllers hold up, drifting is starting to surface from some people online.

    What can I say? I’ve been a PS user since the PS1 days. This has proven to be a jewel for my preteen as he was lucky enough to secure one on the release date. It has provided him with great entertainment, especially during the pandemic. We love it!

    This thing is a beast! I was sitting on a fence for a while deciding whether build a gaming PC or buy a next gen console. I went with PS5 and have zero regrets. The only issue was the absolute gd Nightmare of an experience with a the assistant manager at the store.

    The console has had some issues but still a lot of use and I am still using it. The only complaint is how hard it was to get.

    I had a great and bad time trying to get this thing. I have had all the systems since I was a kid and this is the first I brought myself. The system has been working fine and enjoying the games I got for it. Worth the hassle and time to get and been having a blast.

    I very much like the sony play station 5 digital edition console, it is fun to use and since it was a long time since a new play station was released from sony it was very exciting to get this one, also this version is cheaper and i can spend more $ on games.

    Do you really need this right now?

    I have no doubt this console will be worth the money invested over time but truthfully I have not played more then a handful of games exclusive to this console that would justify owning one of these right now. It has only been a year since release but if you are one of these struggling to purchase this due to the limited availability then I would suggest you dont lose sleep/ stress out over acquiring one quite yet. Give it another year and the library will shape up and you will likely be able to purchase the games you want at a much lower price.

    As technology advances, it becomes a shocker by just how big and bulky playstation 5 is. It works well, but make sure you have loads of shelf space for your new console.

    I have owned all versions of the PlayStation in last 20+ years and this one is so far the best one. What I really liked was not only the backwards compatibility but also that I can get my games upgraded to PS5 versions from PS4.

    Box was beat up and shipping was a bit late but it did arrive for the most part on time and in tact. In regards to the system, Flawless!!!! If you do not have one of these things life is just as cool as others. Only issue is the low amount of sleep from gaming too much.
