    The first thing you’ll notice is the Uber quick console startup speeds and game startups. The console gives off a next generation feel with the new dualsense controller and added haptic feedback, although not many games utilize the many features yet. The one thing is the capacity on the ssd is lacking so unless you have an external hard drive for ps4 games or play few ps5 games, then you’ll find yourself running out of space fairly quickly.

    I’m not sure how I was even able to buy this, I went on Best Buy on launch day to buy an RTX 3080, those were impossible and timing out, PS5 was released the same day, after buying the gpu was not possible I went to just check on the PS5 and it allowed me to add it to my cart. Literally had a 5 minutes conversation with my wife before buying because I wasn’t planning on getting one to begin with and went for it, and somehow the transaction went through. It was surreal the day I picked it up because so many issues with orders were happening everyone, this purchase was nothing less than pure luck. I love this console, and I’m happy I bought it.

    It may be a slightly iterative upgrade from PS4, but it nails everything it sets out to do. The controller and the crazy fast loading are fantastic.

    First off, the controller is the coolest thing I have seen in awhile. Get one and play Astro's playroom. It blew my mind. The console looks like a space ship and definitely feels next gen, Love it

    Honestly, what do you expect? It's next-gen. The console itself to begin with looks like some type of alien object that's casually placed in your living room. The controller is fantastic, much bigger so it can grip in my hands properly now. I always liked the PS4 controller but now holding this I can see how much less of a controller it is compared to the PS5's. Lastly, you honestly won't get the full next-gen experience​ until HDMI 2.1 4k monitors come out that runs over 120hz. So if money is a little tight I​ would wait till it dies down. Not worth paying over retail for this console. So if you were thinking of buying it from those scalpers don't.

    Works much faster than my old PS4. Strongly recommend to purchase the digital version to save you $100, since most of my games can be downloaded online. It’s a little too big as far as size.

    Best bang for your bucks as far as performance when you compare it to other systems including pc gaming. The controller is the best in the market.

    Quality build. Fast SSD. Haven’t experienced any controller issues yet. Ray tracing is legit, and makes games feel 10x more immersive, especially when paired with a capable tv or monitor.

    I love this system. It's fast and fluid. but my favorite thing about this new generation console is the Duel sense controller. It feels great in the hand and adds a lot of immersion to some games.

    I was finally able to snag one from the last restock. The console itself is absolutely gorgeous and has a fresh futuristic look compared to the Xbox. The set up was super easy. However, when transferring your ps4 data, I’d recommend just redownloading your digital games through your game library, or installing by putting the disk in. All of your info is linked to your psn account. I wouldn’t recommend transferring your ps4 data through wireless internet as it takes FOREVER. I’ve heard people say it’s lasted over 16 hours. All in all that, well worth the purchase and hassle of getting one. The loading times are lightning fast and the graphics are astounding.

    Continuing the tradition of amazing gaming set by playstation one, Comes to playstation 5, Not the easiest system to find at least during the holiday rush, But now stock is easier to get than before. The graphics are awesome But to me the control pad and the control pad features are what steals the show Every moment that I've used this machine from playing games to watching movies to viewing videos on YouTube has brought a smile to my face and makes my heart skip a beat. To say this system is bloody awesome would be an understatement I highly recommend purchasing Don't be taken in by scalpingKeep following Best Buy's website and purchase retail trust me you'll be happy
