    Definitely worth the wait on this one. The haptic feedback on the controller is phenomenal. The system runs almost completely silent. Of course, gameplay looks amazing.

    I am one of the lucky ones that have a PS5 at the moment and I can’t say anything bad about it so far. Yes this can never replace the performance of a well equipped gaming PC, which I also have but, the performance you get for what you pay is impossible. I have not been affected by any of the bugs so far that Sony knows the console has but like everything when things first come out you have to expect some bugs. I have also played PS4 games on it and can say that the games run and look better as well such as Ghost of Tsushima. The console itself runs extremely quiet compared to my original jet engine running PS4.

    It’s the best console I’ve got so far. I’d choose over the Xbox X

    Was lucky enough to get a PS5 back in December 2020. Been playing it for a while and its such a noticeable difference over my launch day PS4. I took care of my PS4 so it was not that noisy, but the PS5 is much quieter. Sony's first party titles are the primary reason to pick one of these up and I'm super excited to be able to play them. I also game on PC with and RTX 3090, so it made more sense for me to buy a PS5 since now I'll have access to all of Sony's first party titles, as well as anything Xbox puts out on Gamepass through my PC.

    First let me start with the new dual sense controller. It is a game changer. They variety and dynamics of the haptic feedback is excellent and it has a higher quality feel than all previous controllers. The picture quality is great with the games that support HDR and ray tracing. I have it hooked up to a 4K LG OLED and I'm stunned that a console could output these graphics. There isn't a huge selection of launch titles out at the moment but all of the ones I've played have been fun. The only real complaint I've had is with the optical drive. It can get noisy when installing a game but that is a minor point.

    Totally worth it! I'm still shocked I was able to obtain one online! Pros: This baby runs fast!!! Games look terrific and loads in seconds! Menu navigation is very functional. A lot of media and streaming apps if that is important to you. DualSense is one of a kind! Also this thing is huge! Personally I think it looks better laying horizontal. Cons: SSD does not leave you a lot of space in the end. Maybe 600 GB for game apps if your lucky. However, if you want to play PS4 games you can on an external. But this will not support PS5 files on an external hd. It must be installed on the SSD built in.

    Wayyy quieter than my old PS4, and loads games up pretty much instantly! Not to mention the graphics. Miles Morales looks amazing, and Fortnite is pretty good as well.

    Overall the PS5 is amazing and smooth. Games run at a steady frame rate, load times are basically instantaneous and the controller is something you really have to feel for yourself to understand how immersive it makes the experience. for now avoid add the external hard drive and more internal space, until Sony do the patch. if you connect the hard drive can give you an error "unsupported disc". if you add more space via SSD is not support it yet and you will have similar error not supported. hard to find at the moment, lucky enough to get one at Best Buy and the Curb side was super easy to use.

    A great successor to the PS4 family of consoles.

    A fantastic successor to the PS4. If you're coming from a PS4, each of your games will run much, muuuch smoother and will look better if you're coming from the base PS4 if the game had PS4 Pro support. That said, games specifically made for the PS5 feel like a generation apart from the last. Sure the graphics will look better and resolution will always be higher, but it goes further than that. The new controller is what I believe to be the best controller in existence as of this review. It feels better in the hand than any other, and has a feature set that makes it unlike any other.

    Best console I have ever owned. Very user friendly and can be used to game, or has a home entertainment device. Only drawback is that it doesn't have a web Browser.

    The PS5 is just as advertised. The machine's design is very sleek and futuristic. It's almost twice as long as the PS4. It runs all of my PS4 games and loads them faster than my PS4 Pro. The Dualsense controller is the most comfortable pad I've held. Setting up and connecting the machine to my 4k TV was a breeze. It was also easy to transfer all of the game data from my PS4 to the PS5 via network cable (or you can do it via WIFI). Just downloaded the God of War update patch today, and the 4k/60FPS graphics blew me away. The PS5 is an essential upgrade to the next generation of gaming!

    I finally got my hands on my PS5 on Nov. 27th, What can I say that hasn't been said already? When you own a PS5 you definitely know you own a NEXT GEN Console!! I'm a Gamer so I use my PS5 every single day! And it has not disappointed. The control itself is something out of this world!! I didn't know what Haptic feedback was until I got my hands on the PS5 controller. Put it this way... I could never go back on any other controller again! They really out did themselves with the PS5. I wanted this so much that I keep checking every single website every day until I finally got my chance with Best Buy!!

    Lives up to the hype and the controller is a game changer. System runs quite and cool. So far all 3rd party games fun and look better on the os5 than the series X.
