    The PS5 is the best gaming experience I've had outside of my computer. It's lightning fast when loading games and boots up in seconds. The new interface is nice and I like how games and media are separated. If you can also purchase the media remote, do so, especially if you plan to use this as your media center.

    The console is really fast and the controller in particular is the most innovative controller ever with the exception of the Wii. The SSD only has about 667 GB of useable space which fills fast. Don't sleep on the packed in game (Astro's Playroom) either. My whole family couldn't stop smiling while playing it.

    Gameplay is very smooth and load times are quick. The console is much quieter than I expected. Huge difference in gameplay from PS4 to PS5 on games like AC Valhalla. No lag when panning the camera and ray tracing looks great. It takes a minute to adjust to the UI, but it's an improvement over past versions.

    A+ upgrade over the Ps4

    The PS5's user experience is a complete revamp of the PS4, although it shares many similarities with Sony's previous console. In addition to being lightning fast, the interface incorporates one key new concept: Control Centre. It's a really good upgrade. Hope they increase their backwards compatibility of games.

    Fantastic. Super difficult to get a hold of but once you do it is a fantastic console. Definitely worth the money and time to snag. Recommend following PS5restocks_etc on Twitter to help grab one of these bad boys.

    Sony's latest fare lives up to the brand that they've created. More horsepower, slightly lacking in games. The adaptive triggers, however, are absolutely amazing on the controller and make for some interesting new experiences. I expect the other large brands to incorporate them into their systems in the future.

    A giant box of awesomeness. It's not cheap, but it comes in at a fraction of my gaming pc and will run circles around it. Insane graphics and the new controller vibration adds a surprising amount of additional immersion into the PS5 games. If you can find one available and have a spare $500, its a no brainier.

    Solidly built console with a few software issues. Future firmware updates should fix a few of the issues but overall it's a good console. Controller is very good and I'd recommend playing Astro's Playroom which comes installed with every ps5. That game while a tech demo, showcases the ps5s Controller at its best.

    great counsel. It's a bit more power than my tv can handle so I get screen tearing. I also am not crazy about the HDR so I turned it off. HDR seems a bit full and faded. After turning it off and a few adjustments, it looks stunning. I also have the ps4 pro with a solid state drive and notice a pretty good step up.

    Everything runs so much better than ps4 and ps5 games have practically no loading times. My pc is obviously better but for the exclusives and consoles. Ps5 is the best thing to grab. When available at least. Dont settle for the Xbox. All Xbox games can be played on pc so just get a pc if you're an xbox fanboy

    Definitely a great next gen system. The load times on new and previous gen games are really fast. The sound quality has definitely improved with the 3D audio if you have a great surround sound but I still would wait until there are better games on the system before purchase. Don't feel like you're missing out.

    Great Console IF You Can Get One

    Great console, it is definitely an improvement to the PS4. Biggest advantages are the much faster download times, and the haptic feedback on the new controllers are very fun to use. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who can get one, hopefully Sony can get their supply caught up in the near future.

    Huge improvement to the PS4. Visually looks stunning and performance is a huge plus. No more lengthy loading menus. The unit itself is huge and I wish they had a black version. I was able to find an aftermarket company who makes custom panels to replace the OEM white one for only $60. Overall love the PS5.

    Get the ps5 if you want Wow! Factor.

    If you want the “WOW” factor when you purchase a new console, pick up the ps5. I did extensive research before deciding on a next gen console, and whereas the Xbox series x can deliver a few more impressive specs on paper, the ps5 is designed to impress. Examples come as soon as you turn it on, it comes pre-loaded with a game that shows off the *insane* new controller features such as full hand haptic feedback (it feels as if objects are falling and being tossed against the sides of the controller), a trigger that changes resistance based on what you’re doing (a bow feels like you are drawing a bow). It also displays the tempest 3D audio, which can be calibrated to your tv speakers. All of the menus feel incredibly intuitive, and Sony has already promised a lot more firmware updates to improve on what I feel is is an already stellar UI. As someone who started on Xbox consoles, I couldn’t be happier about my purchase. And Best Buy was the only place I could snag it!!

    This is the first time I bought a serious gaming system for myself. Games look truly stunning, esp. on our 55 inch in a small nyc apartment. I had been trying to procure one for a year, it was so satisfying when I finally purchased. Store pickup couldn’t have been easier.

    It’s great, was not easy to buy but that’s not the PS’s fault. It’s a joy to play if you can find one. Best buy made the process as easy as possible. The PS itself is huge just an FYI and looks like it should have been some type of WiFi devise. Other than that works well and plays great!

    I love my PS5. The speed and quality is outstanding. I can’t believe how many times it still amazes me with the fast loading times even if the games aren’t enhanced yet. Recently one of my games were enhanced and the loading times are a thing of the past with this next gen console. I highly recommend this item.
