    Great console. Controller is a very good upgrade. A bit heavy but stand takes care of it. Very good value at 500 bucks.

    Great console but after owning it for a few months i do miss not having the disc drive. If i could do it again id buy the disc version. Other than that the system works great and runs quiet.

    I surprisingly got lucky when buying this. I saw someone on social media ordering theirs so I went on the website to order mine. Anyway the PS5 is much smoother than the PS4 I would definitely recommend.

    Love it! Great and powerful system. Load times are a thing of the past! One draw back for some maybe is that it’ll give you problems with older TVs. That’s what Best Buy is for so get yourself a new tv!!

    Crazy cool system, haptic feedback and reactive triggers are unlike anything I've ever experienced. Adds a whole new level of control and immersion. Very excited for new game releases.

    System is amazing, would highly recommend. Better than the PS4 series and makes next to no sound when running games. Do yourself a favor and snag one if you can find it.

    It's such a nice upgrade from my ps4 and works so well with my new tv. I just wish it came with more storage space. I'm used to having 2TB on my ps4, so I've run out of room quickly on this.

    Great console. Graphics are AMAZING. Although there aren’t many games for it yet, some games have been “updated” for the PS5 for have better graphics because the game can detect it’s being ran on better hardware. For example, Fortnite and Call of Duty Modern Warfare have better graphics and run much smoother on the PS5 than the PS4. The graphics include better shadows, more polygons in the renderings of the objects, and more. Other things I would like to point out is that the PS5 is very quiet. The design is sleek. And almost everything about it screams “next gen”. The PS5 dashboard on start has a very “crisp” and smooth feel to it with subtle animations and transitions. The only issues I have had with my PS5 is the limited storage space (can be solved by buying an external drive) and wifi connection issues. Wifi issues that I have experienced have been the most frustrating. Whenever I am downloading a large game, wifi seems to cut off after an hour and I have to restart the console to fix the connection and finish the download. After I am done downloading a game, wifi connection seems to be “flakey” and I have to reset my PS5 to fix my wifi connection; even on a game that had nothing to do with a different game that I downloaded. I get roughly 500 mbps download at my house but when I test it on my PS5, I only get about 80 - 100 mbps. Of course this depends on where the PS5 server locations are but I still have connection issues when playing a game or downloading a game for while. Not sure if this is a hardware or software issue. My PS5 has crashed when playing MW2 remastered about 5 times too for some reason... Pros: - sleek design - games run much smoother and look incredible - quiet Cons: - wifi connection issues - limited storage capacity - not many games - minor software glitches

    The Playstation 5 is the hottest thing on the market and after purchasing it I can see why. The graphics are awesome and the convenience of not having to purchase brand new compatible games is a PLUS.

    Actually having a Ps5 and playing some of the newer and older gen games really makes you feel a difference. I've been playing on a 4K 60hz TV and the picture quality for games like Miles Morales and Horizon ZeRo Dawn have been very impressive. The setup is very easy when moving save data from a Ps4 to Ps5. Some of my gripes come with the UI where screenshot stay on the pop-up bar and you can't remove it, there's no web browser, and using 3rd party headphones can't make use of the EQ settings. All of these issues I have seem like things that can be patched in the future though. Overall, excited for the new games coming in the future.

    The playstation 5 is a great console and i know that I’ll be ending up buying accessories and games for it soon. Plays all my ps4 games and makes the frame rates more stable and way faster load times.

    Sony knocked it out of the park with this one. Only downside was the availability. It makes it that much better when you finally do get it. I recommend getting a quality monitor or tv to match it.

    I was happy to get this PS5 and it works as expected. The ordering process was sort of a pain but not nearly as bad as other sites which have been having issues for a long time.
