    One of the lucky ones to get one. The goods would be the games look great from a graphical standpoint, The controller feels and looks good and the system is massive but very quiet i played for over 15 hours total in 2 days and no massive heat, No noises very quiet The Bad- The stand thing. I feel the best way to place your PS5 is standing on the stand which i don't like so its flat which you still need that stand to maintain the balance if you press down on it it still wobbles around I also don't like the lack of games on launch and if you are playing Spiderman there is reports of PS5's bricking do not leave your PS5 on sleep mode as you have the game Spiderman on its causing people's PS5's to brick shut the game down then shut off the console

    All the one star reviews are people who couldn’t get it (clown emoji) lol anyways, it’s a great console, no pc by any means but a big upgrade in loading speeds. Other than that, I don’t really notice any improvement in most games, it looks like I was playing on a PS4. That’s due to most games being not optimized. So who ever didn’t get one, you’re not missing out on anything. Games still run at 30fps for like gta 5, or 60fps for fork knife and apex. I’m more of an apex player and it looks the same as in my PS4. Hopefully they’ll optimize it for 120fps. People would probably say, you can’t play it at 120fps but I play on a 1080p 144hz 1ms response time monitor. The controller is great but the battery doesn’t last as long as I hoped it would.

    Took 4 months to finally get one but it’s definitely worth it. Graphics are great and SSD is super fast. It’s pretty big so you’ll have to make room for it. Highly recommended if you can find them in stock.

    Super good performance and graphics. If you can get one at a reasonable price. But this console is also honkin huge, and sticks out like a sore thumb in my living room, not in a way I like.

    Absolutely love it, I managed to get lucky and score a pre-order back in September. Received it a day late due to weather conditions in my city. The entire experience is premium, the controller works and feels incredible. I’m in love with the adaptive triggers for games such as CoD: Cold War and NBA 2k21 Next Gen. The interface is sleek and modern compared to the previous console, Playstation 4. The console is on the heavy side of the weight spectrum but the design still gives it a sleek look. I haven’t had any firmware or hardware issues so far which is pretty good, no over-heating or anything of that sort. Everything works smoothly and as fast as it’s supposed to. Very happy with my purchase would buy another if there was more stock.

    Got this for my friend. He absolutely loves it. He didnt need a disc version since all his games are digital. Its certainly very slick and pretty to look at. Runs games perfectly and very quiet.

    Rare rollout! I got super lucky - thanks, BestBuy! Excellent console, well designed hardware, easy setup - SONY crushed everything, well done. Smooth, no crashes, love the rechargeable controllers, if only the charge stand wasn't sold out. Cons would be large console unit size and awkward horizontal orientation stability, at least one title (non-SONY) that was rated E wont run full featured on a child account. So I would say that the family controls are not as robust/refined as they might be.

    Great gaming system, huge step up from the PS4 when it comes to performance. Storage is lacking, with how big games are now a days. Nice to see an m.2 SSD slot to expand storage.

    Love the system, haven't had any problems since I bought it at launch and it's late 2023 now. Runs quiet, only complaint is the low storage space, but you can add extra space if you want.

    Amazing console release by Sony where in my opinion has the better diverse exclusives than other gaming consoles. Def a step up from the ps4 and a step up in the speed department when loading different applications....it is a very large console and isn’t aesthetically pleasing. Also just a suggestion, I would say go with the disc console if you can get your hands on one, you never realize how bad you miss the disc drive to play physical media until it’s gone. The digital console is cheaper but if you have a pretty extensive dvd/Blu-ray collection then this is not the console you want(plus it seems physical disc games for the ps5 go on sale a lot faster than the digital offerings from Sony and other businesses

    Whoever thought of using an Solid State Drive in a gaming system better have got a bonus cause that's the difference right now loading time. On my PS4 the loading time for Last of Us Part 2 was over 2 minutes but now that time is cut significantly. Make sure your TV and sound system is up to date because that helps you get the most out of this powerful and fast console. Only downside is the size of the SSD, but now that you can upgrade you don't have to consistently spend time deleting and adding games to the hub.

    Upgraded to this from the standard PS4. Great performance and features, especially the new controller. Hopefully more games update to take advantage of the PS5 performance. It is a rather large console however.

    One of the biggest selling points of the next-generation consoles is higher resolutions, snappier frame rates, and all-around better performance. The PS5 definitely delivers on these compared to what PS4 owners are used to, but just how drastic of a difference you’re looking at varies. You’ll need a TV that supports variable refresh rates and 4K HDR content to really take advantage of the graphics that the PS5 can spit out. But even on a more mid-tier television, content is looking better than ever. In-game textures seem way more natural than with previous-generation graphics and particle effects are pure eye candy. We’re not quite yet at life-like virtual worlds, but the PS5 surely delivers a large leap in the right direction.

    So far I am really impressed by this system. Graphics look great (and are just going to get better). Also, the controller is really amazing. The different kinds of haptic feedback it can create is impressive.
