    Definitely my pick for the new generation of video games. The UI is gorgeous, games play beautifully, especially on a 120hz OLED screen. If you are able to get your hands on one, and you dig on Sony's games, I would recommend getting one.

    So far I haven't had any issues with my PS5. It's ran smooth and downloaded games at lightning speeds compared to my PS4. Only complaint is I wish they added night mode to the main volume controls so I didn't have to purchase a sound bar.

    Powerful Console, Frequent Crashing

    The Sony PS5 is a powerhouse that runs any of the new AAA games at 60+ FPS! As all new gaming devices, there are some issues. Maybe hold off for a couple months because I've had a few crashes. In my 16 hours of Demon's Souls, the PS5 has crashed 3 times (where the entire PS5 restarts). In only 10ish hours of Black Ops: Cold War, I have crashed 7 times (same thing). It is a bit annoying, but I am sure this is some minor software issues that will be fixed later; however, if it is anything to do with the hardware, it might be worth it to wait just in case.

    PS5 - Into the next generation

    It lives up to the hype in every way. Just a little low on HD space, but that's true of all the consoles out there right now. Also, loved how Best Buy's system of purchase sidestepped scalpers so regular Joes like me could get one!

    Good. I love both the new Xbox and Playstation. I feel like the console war should end, because they're both simply amazing. I couldn't just choose, so I got both. And the digital edition of the PS5 for $100 less is simply a steal.

    I was so so lucky to be able to find a PS5 at retail price! The System, box, etc had no damage. The System runs amazingly! I’ve noticed the difference in some PS4 games when I put the disc in. Definitely worth the wait!

    Got for one myself and my friends. Not a big gamer myself, but the kids love it. Got each of my friends boys one, and one for their kids coach. Haven't had any complaints since getting it for them.

    Best Console for playing PS4 Games

    Hard to get console, but the PS5 is honestly the best PS4 since it is backwards compatible. It is really hard to get but once you get it you can burn through the PS4 catalog well. Astros Playroom is also really good.

    My so was super, super excited to get this for Christmas. It was a lot of work to actually get one. We live in Tn and had to drive to Indiana to pick up. They would not let me change the pick location. That was a pain.

    If you can get one, buy it. The potential for next gen gaming is definitely there. Games like Ghost of Tsushima, Ratchet and Clank, and Spiderman Miles Morales are probably just scratching the surface.

    The digital version of the PS5 is ok. Theres nothing really different about it from the PS4. I'd rather the disk version. No particular reason, just my preference.

    This thing is amazing. Very stoked to experience 120 FPS on a console. Jumping from my PS4 pro to the PS5 was a huge leap and I’m excited for all the games to get the FPS boost. Once you get a taste of that 120 you can’t go back to 60.

    10/10 would recommend!!! I just switched from the last two generations of Xbox, not having owned a PlayStation since the PS2. The solid state drive is a godsend, and the use of external storage for PS4 games is incredibly helpful.

    No issues so far aside from the rest mode issue that will hopefully get fixed soon, but otherwise, gameplay is great, the console is performing as expected, the system UI looks great and is easy to get around if you're coming from a ps4.

    Took me 6 months to finally get my hands on this product and it was totally worth it! Sure, there arent a whole lot of games out for it yet, but being able to play ps4 games on it really helps that problem! Happy Hunting!

    Disk Edition Better Than Digital Edition

    Buy the Disk Edition over the Digital Edition. You can trade and buy used with a disk edition. You can't do that with the digital edition. It will be worth the $100 difference.

    It's a PS5 if you are reading this you likely are having trouble getting one. Best buy at least does their best to keep it as fair as possible. It's a good next gen console if you can get one do it.
