    The backwards compatibility with ps4 games plus enhancements such as higher framerates really sets this generation of consoles apart from their predecessors.

    great console, if you can get it for retail it's great. Love the new controllers they are better than the older generation. playing at 60 fps is also an amazing change

    It’s a PS5. It’s a great little machine. Definitely recommend grabbing PS+ if you don’t have it to get access to the PS+ collection and free monthly games.

    Was finally able to get a PS5 for my 12 year old. He couldn't be happier with the purchase. Thank you Best Buy for making it a smooth transaction from purchase to pick up!

    Hard to find, but worth it. A definite upgrade from the first gen PS4. It is a beast of a machine in terms of the size of the unit, so make sure you has enough space set aside!

    I would say overall this product has lived up to my expectations. As someone who is not a huge gamer, but was able to get one of these during the second wave I have gotten a lot of enjoyment out of this consol. The only downside with the ps5 is a lack of launch titles but from the games, I have played on (GOW, Last of us 1) the games run smooth and I have not experienced any issues with my ps5. It is a shame that they are so hard to find.

    its a much sought after ps5. I was lucky to score a drop. I am happy with it after a short learning curve. there is no reason why these things are being sold online regularly by charities in bulk yet its next to impossible to get one more than a year after release in stores or online. and of course all the influencers were given them at the front of the line for no good reason.

    Not bad for a console. I wish there were more launch titles, but it should be fine by the end of the year. Still not a PC, but at least I can play games with my pleb friends.

    Has worked very well so far (about 2 months), save a few in-game crashes. Easy set up. Runs native PS5 and backwards-compatible games very smoothly. Blu-ray disc drive works well.
