    I am Playstation 5 load times the most. The system is extremely quiet no matter how hard its working. The quality of the Playstation 5 is awesome including the Controller too. The stand that comes with the is a cheaper plastic unfortunately. And if your friend don’t have one, you might continue to play pla

    I stayed the night in Best Buy parking lot to get this for my sons birthday. He has been on the console constantly and he loves it! We had a ps4 pro and it sounded like a helicopter landing. The ps5 design is sleek, quieter than ps4 pro and it takes up less room than the ps4 pro.

    Great price to performance that you can get at the moment. HDMI 2.1 support and a blazing fast SSD. The controller is amazing and has that next-gen feel to it while the console itself runs VERY quiet (sometimes I don't even realize it's on). If you can get your hands on one, you will not be disappointed.

    Really cool console. The most exciting thing about to me is the speed of the ssd. Everything loads so much faster. 60fps for games that support is also really cool. The new controllers is not revolutionary but a nice evolution of everything that’s come before it

    A beautiful and fast but oversized console My ps5 experience so far has been great. The loading times are excellent with the ssd and the controller creates a whole new sense of immersion. My only negative would be the size of the console. That being said I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves games.

    PlayStation has been the go to system since I was a kid. This system is very immersive in the gameplay along with the new controller and heptic feedback. I feel like I am within the game. It is a great to see that their is always something to keep improving on the future of gaming.

    So hard to get but eventually after spamming checkout when I was notified from the twitter accounts monitoring stock I was finally able to check this out. The Playstation 5’s secret weapon is the duelsense controller. It truly democratizes the experience for everyone. You DON’T need to have a 4k HDR 120hz VRR 65” display for this console. Just a duelsense controller, and also arguably a gaming headset that utilizes the new Tempest 3D audio engine for even more immersive audio, although a premium headset from last generation gaming is probably just as nice. I had the pleasure of playing Uncharted 4 on a 4k HDR OLED and it was a truly beautiful game on the PS5. Plus it was F R E E, along with 17 other games for the PS5 launch with playstation plus. Literally 18 FREE huge games for PS5 as long as you have playstation plus! Don’t know how long they’ll keep it but it’s a HUGE incentive to buy PS5 since most of them are PS4 pro upgraded games, some with unlocked frame rates so the PS5 can push them as far as it can. Play Uncharted 4 on PS5. Seriously. Beautiful.

    One of the best Christmas present I’ve ever received.. The PS5 is just an excellent machine, futuristic design, incredible controller, the brand new UI and best of all its amazing catalog of exclusive games. No wonder the PlayStation brand is the most successful home console brand ever. Highly recommended!

    The PS5 is definitely my favorite console this generation. Despite being a little under on the specifications compared to XBX, the PS5's features beats it. Specifically the haptic and the adaptive triggers in the controller. If you haven't already, don't forget to claim all of the games in the PS Collection!

    The console is great, although it can have it's flaws. Currently the fan can make a noise due to a loose sticker (from what I've heard). Other than that, there are some software issues, but those can be fixed through system software updates. I picked up Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales as well, great game! The console does well when it comes to backwards compatibility (does not support PS1, PS2, or PS3 games unfortunately). Gaming at 4K @ 60Hz feels great! The graphics are very vibrant and crisp. If you don't have a 4K capable TV, I still recommend the PS5 for it's great experience. The adaptive triggers on the brand new DualSense controller seems a bit gimmicky to me, but I was very surprised to see how they felt. The haptic vibrations also worked very well (think a toned down version of the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con vibration). Astro's Playroom comes installed on your PS5 (apart from updates) and shows you the power of the DualSense's features. The console feels much more "next-gen" and new compared to the Xbox Series X/S (from what I've seen online).

    Huge Leap from the PS4

    The PS5 was a much bigger upgrade than I expected! Graphics are a step up from the PS4, but the SSD makes a huge difference - for example, loading times in Gran Turismo 7 are nearly non-existent. If you can get your hands on one, it's well worth it!

    Got this in launch day. Honestly not much about the console and games has excited me. Most great games are either cross play or on the ps4 console. The exclusives are mostly single player games. Me? I have no time to be wasting playing games by myself. Last time i played a game for the storyline was on ps2. Games are expensive but always go on sale. Graphics... well they are good. But anything less for a console this gen and this expensive is no excuse. The controller tactile feel while playing. I found it sort of annoying and unnecessary. Youtube hype with "changes the game" lol i guess. Trust me if your playing alot of cod and have to click the trigger harder for that "tactile" feel its fun at first then gets annoying fast during fast paced games. Controller feels great. Nice how the mic is also on the controller. Astros demo? Hey i understand its a demo to demonstrate the controller but this was far from entertaining for me. Maybe years of gaming and using game novelty consoles and accesories has probably jaded impression.

    There is not much reason to upgrade from PS4 to PS5. There is still not many exclusives I am trying to play, however, if you find a PS5, it is worth the purchase. The faster load times, upgradable storage, backwards compatibility, and improved controller make the $500 price worth it!

    It's a fine piece of machinery. However, besides the graphics being sharper and the controller jiggling more. I could've waited.... wasn't worth the stress of trying to buy one. My ps4 pro works great! I can't say I'm a fan of the new interface. Reminds of the ps3 .. just feedback from a Oldschool gamer.

    PS5 is a top notch machine

    The PS5 is a remarkable machine. Despite being MUCH bigger than the PS4, it's justified by shear processing power and storage space. The Dual Sense controller is amazing and playing through Astro's Playroom, which showcases the controller feature possibilities, is top notch. I can't recommend this enough.
