    What can be said about a next-gen console during this time? Well, it's a great machine. Runs quiet and has maybe the best and most advanced controller ever made. The controller alone makes the system leaps and bounds beyond what anything else is doing and does enhance immersion. Well worth it.

    Loving my ps5 so far. Coming from a base ps4, this is a massive upgrade. Load times are extremely fast, noticeable graphical improvements exceeded my expectations. The process of picking it up was also great. Same day pick up! Within 2 hours of purchase i had it in my possession. Couldn’t be happier!

    It's a great machine. The hardware is top notch and the design, while a bit quirky, is also very forward thinking. Haven't gotten the chance to put it through its paces yet, but I'm pretty impressed with the graphics and the installation was pretty straightforward.

    Definitely next gen ready with this PS5. If you had a PS4 prior to this then it would feel really familiar. You're just getting better graphics and faster loading times. I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed with picking this up, if you're able to get it right away.

    Now picture this: you buy a PC SPECIFICALLY for gaming... then you play the PS5: and don’t go back to pc for gaming. Not saying PCs are worthless because of it but me personally if you’re not modding games or something im sticking to PS5. Less expensive while still bring excellent performance.

    Amazing gaming console! I normally use Xbox, but wanted to try out the Playstation 5. Other than how the console actually looks, the Playstation is fantastic. Kudos to Best Buy for making it easy for the average Joe to purchase. Their purchasing system prohibits bots from purchasing from the drop.

    Though it was a pain to get, the Playstation 5 is pretty great. Playing it side by side with my PS4 Pro, it is so much faster and more fluid. The controller's battery is ok, seems to run low pretty quickly. You have to change the settings for the feedback in vibration, for triggers, and the rest.

    I've owned this for over a year now. It is really an amazing machine, but I do have a few complaints. 1, the storage just isn't enough. I believe mine is 500gb, and it's not nearly enough. I had to separately purchase an external storage to fit most of my kids' games. 2. The controllers all started breaking after a year of about average use, and they are about $70 each. So be ready to buy all new controllers after that amount of time. Other than those things, the functionality of the PS5 is just amazing. We've had countless hours of fun with it! If you can get your hands on one, I recommend it!

    Ive been a PS lover since the PSone. I was fortunate enough to get one of these early, and I know why everyone is still trying to get one. It upscales old games (where available) and everything I play looks great. I doubt I need to sell anyone on this but no complaints

    Worth it in every sense...hard to pick up a PS4 again. The speed of everything (games, apps, streaming) is as advertised. It took me more than a month to finally get one, so glad it happened. To me, its every bit as good as the Xbox Series X which I have as well...booth machines are equally amazing.

    Great console with great games, Spiderman Miles Morales was a great launch tittle, Astro playroom really shows the capabilities of the new controller, the OS is fast and the controller feels great while playing, if you like Sony exclusives and want to also play good third party games then PS5 is for you

    Was finally able to get my hands on the "rare" Playstation 5 at retail price. As I previously owned a Playstation 4, I was very excited to get hold of the new next-gen console. Off the bat, I was very happy to see and experience the new Sony technology and features that was offered in this console.

    Was finally able to score one of these bad boys and I love it! No issues with the console at all. Only grip is that on start-up, it tends to get a bit loud for a few seconds but once the console gets to the menu, the sound disappears. I am completely satisfied with the console!

    Truly a fast tank. A few growing pains (2nd player controller freezes up occasionally, no folders or themes in UI, controller buttons for L1/R1 are a lil big, backwards compatible games will try to download last gen version every time you turn on console if you don’t turn off automatic downloads, inside of console is EASILY scratched upon removal of panels, and last-ish but not least, Not all functions (screen share, broadcast, twitch, & more party functions) are backwards compatible.), but it has massive potential to be the greatest PlayStation console to date. A beautiful path has been laid, but it’s going to have to fill up some of the holes so we can run instead of walk. -The Pelican

    To get to the point, it’s an amazing device. Not only do you have innovative device on your hands, but it also come with a charming software called Astro’s playroom that effectively highlights the controller and console’s strengths. If it weren’t so hard to obtain, I’d recommend people to get it now.

    GET THE DISC VERSION - you will SAVE MONEY!

    On the surface there is a $100 difference between the E-version and the disc version. The E-version was the only one I could get my hands on so I was appreciative to get what I could. That being said, keep in mind that while there certainly are benefits to using a disc-less electronic version of the PS5, one major, expensive con - is the cost of games. I can almost always find the games I want on sale or at some sort of substantial discount at my local Walmart, Target, BB, Amazon. The PS store is horrible, treterous if you will, at providing meaningful discounts. For example, right now I can get current year Madden and NBA games for $30/ea. If I want Madden for PS5 - I have to pay the $99 version. NBA - $70. So as of today, $170 for two games vs $60 plus some tax. The $100 up front savings between the two just doesn't cut it for me. The PS5 E-version would be amazing value if PS Store would match sales of their distributors.
