Customer Ratings & Reviews

With the DualSense, the PS5 is the ultimate next gen console. Compared to Series X, PS5 sets itself apart in that with revision of the controller and UI, it feels like a leap. Can't get enough of the weighted triggers!

From someone who previously owned a PS4 Pro, I can tell you first hand that the PS5 is quicker with loading games and switching between games/media. (But not a drastic amount) but definitely noticeable. For the most part my experience has been great (no random resets/buggy game downloads etc.) if you haven’t been able to lock in a PS5 of your own, please know that you’re not missing out on anything TOO crazy. Be patient, most games out are on PS4 as well. The upgrades are nice, but again, don’t stress it too much. (Worth a buy tho)

Finally able to get my hands on a PS5 digital. There is no need to pay for the extra $100 for a disc drive that is phasing out. This unit doesn't have any moving parts so it should last longer than the disc drive.

I love how much better the graphics are on the ps5, so much more detail! Our games run so smooth and don’t glitch and crash like they did with the PS4! It was definitely worth the wait!

The lack of games that take full advantage of the system is a bit of a let down. The controller truly feels next generation and truly adds to the emersion aspect of the system. If you can find one it is well worth the purchase.

First of all it's too huge, second of all 17 lbs!? I literally had to haul this thing to the store to add the warranty and it made me realize how not travel friendly it is. Playstation did amazing but size definitely needs work

The PS5 is a great console. It's incredible how fast games load, how good they look, and the new features. The haptic feedback on the controller is pretty incredible and will provide great value for years to come.

An amazing console. Only downside has been availability and game titles for the launch. There are many games announced that I am looking forward too. Having the PS5 really is a step up compared to the playstation 4 pro.

Love the liad times and tge grapics. A must have for a playstation fan. The different gui from the ps4 takes time yo get use to as well as some easier controlled options in the ps4 made more difficult on the ps5.

I love it. The adaptive controller is miles beyond what the PS4 controller can offer. My only gripe is that the PS5 interface isn't as polished as the PS4. I assume they will fix this with updates eventually.

Same performance as the disc version but I won't lie, i miss having the option of playing physical 4k blu ray discs. That aside - its a great console probably the best i've had but the lack of games is a shame.

Great performance for the price. Huge upgrade over the PS4 especially for 4K TVs. However, it's massive and the looks are polarizing.

They did it again! Love this beast! Mini computer and finally 120Hz! No more 60Hz! The new Controller is game changing with the adaptive triggers. Much more comfortable in the hand but still has that PS feeling which I love!

Fantastic, unique design that can easily be customized. This is the next generation gaming system PlayStation lovers wanted. Purchasing it was a huge headache and I am eager for more gamers to get a taste of this sweet machine.

Ain’t gonna lie this was worth the spam clicks on the day of pre order, this smacked me into another dimension with the speeds it would load into games. It just sits on my desk awaiting the new adventures that are coming forth.

I bought this for a friend, but I've played it with them. The system runs smoothly and is fairly quiet, the UI is intuitive. They ran out of space quickly on the base console, but they do like that you can use external memory.

Let's begin! Pros: ======= 1. Great games: "Spider Man The Ultimate Edition" is recommended for everyone. 2. Blazing fast load times, also super responsive UI. 3. Great and consistent performance in games due to the new significantly more powerful hardware compared to last gen (not going into the TeraFlop discussion). 4. I know the PS5 design is divisive, but I like that it looks like something from the Sci-fi movies. I think the PS5 Digital Edition design is the best looking console ever. 5. Dualsense controller is the best generational leap for controllers. Just play the pre-installed Astro's Playroom and you will know it for sure. 6. Backward compatibility is good but not for all games. Cons: ======== 1. Backward compatibility doesn't work as well as expected: occasional crashes, flickering even with 1st party games like God of War 2018, which received an official patch for PS5. 2. The "Rest Mode" is broken most of the time and doesn't work with all backward-compatible titles (e.g. Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag). 3. The operating system is buggy in other ways as well: got the prompt to go into rest mode while I was playing a game. Several times. 4. No support for VRR and ALLM at launch. Possible support in future system updates. 5. No support for internal storage expansion. On top of that, no way to just store (not play) any PS5 game to any USB external storage you might add. As a result, if you buy only 3-4 AAA PS5 games, you might have to choose which ones to keep due to only ~650GB of usable internal storage. 6. The new operating system removed some of the very useful features that was available on PS4: no support for folders, holding the PS button doesn't give you the shutdown/rest mode menu, etc. Verdict: ========== Since most of the cons (if not all) are just bugs/lack of development, they can easily be fixed in future updates. Once those updates are here, PS5 would be great system to play games on (not to mention the great 1st party exclusive games like Spider Man, Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, etc.). So, anyone who is not able to get their hands on the PS5 due to high demand, maybe it's not that terrible to wait while these bugs are fixed for a much better and smoother experience.

Very beautiful looking console. Finally got a window of opportunity to purchase. Best Buy by far was the easiest to order it from. Other stores glitched out. Very big console compared to the ps4

It was a battle getting this bad boy but its so worth it. Games looks phenomenal. I will say some games are pretty laggy but I believe with future updates they'll be ok. Good luck to everyone still looking!!!! You'll find one.

Console is great! PS5 and XBOX Series X are basically the same. Everyone has their preference so if you are a PS this is an upgrade. XBOX guy, get the Series X. Why can’t we all be friends!?
