This so far is one of the best consoles I have ever purchased. The sophistication yet simplicity is amazing

PlayStation never stop surprising me, the performance and the controller are out of this world

Not much more to say beyond what has already been said about this console. Amazingly speedy, very quiet, and beautiful graphical output make for a worthwhile upgrade from last gen consoles. The clincher though is the Dual Sense gamepad, though it might be a few months before we see games utilize its revolutionary features in a meaningful way. I feel very lucky that I managed to get one when I did. Don't regret whatsoever.

To me this is the biggest generational jump ever. I’ve been around for all of them. All of them are pretty significant when you look back at them but this one is the only one that gets backwards compatibility down in a way where most will work. The controller was the biggest change in a while (the PS4 DualShock 4 was essentially a DualShock 3 with a touch pad). The performance upgrade proportionally and cumulatively is the largest jump ever. In fact this is the closest the console community has ever been to PC performance while also maintaining a competitive advantage (unique and award winning exclusives that out perform triple A cross-platform titles). Honestly the ps5 made me sell my series x two days after I got it (it was easier to get the series X at first but I got lucky and got a ps5 bundle from BB). This is the best generational upgrade I have ever dealt with (not sure if those of you remember how weird the original PS3s could be depending on your TV and my PS4 had a hdmi reading problem that sorted out after a system update). Seriously cannot recommend the ps5 enough. Especially if you have PS4 or Xbox one, pro and X you might can wait for the ps5 to be more available, but it’s still worth the upgrade by a lot. People are treating it like it’s $1000. Like my phone cost double the amount of a ps5 disk and is nowhere near as impressive (Ik it’s “apple”s to oranges but from a hardware standpoint the PS5 and Series X price is pretty amazing). Best purchase of 2021 goes to the ps5, just kind of upsets me because it seems like nothing will top it and the year just started.

My kids love it. The graphics are great. The contoller is easy to use. It works great!

This console is absolutely amazing. It’s so quiet compared to the PS4. The only time I hear anything is when the disc is being read from. It looks like a spaceship when I have it on the side on one of my shelves which I love. I just wish it had the quick resume feature and a few more teraflops. As far as speed and gameplay, it’s smoking fast. Load times are even better for Bloodborne. I’ve been having a blast with Demon’s Souls.

Great game system. Use it everyday. Quiet when running. Is a bit large and takes up some space.

Great console graphics are great would recommed. The new god of war game performs great

Process of ordering was great. Had tried with Walmart 4 times and would get all the way to hitting confirm order and it would say out of stock. Got the PS5 first try with Best Buy. The graphics for the games I have and the speed of the system are great. It’s a little bigger than I had expected but I’m just glad to have one. The system is really quiet and sometimes I forget it’s even on when streaming Netflix, etc... on it.

Put this as visible as possible in my living room. Looks amazing and sleek! Performs very fast and so far flawless. Easy to setup and Cable is fairly long. Definitely recommend separate charger base for controller. Ssd could be bigger but glad they included an option to put one in. Best Buy was the only place I could actually get one without frustrations of system glitch.

Load times are ridiculously fast and graphics are amazing on 4K tv! The controller works well and is well designed. It was definitely worth the wait! Only hard part was trying to get one at times it was impossible! Definitely recommend it. I would have gotten the digital one but the disk is the one that showed up at checkout so I took it. If you want to save $100 bucks definitely try to get the digital version.

We are very happy with the new PS5. The graphics are way better. It also runs everything much faster.

Best console in the market, really powerful, fast, and quiet!

Amazing graphics, fast SSD , great exclusive games , PlayStation still the best

Next-gen is legit! Surprised I was able to receive item on launch, and must say I’m blown away by the system! Graphics are amazing, load times are incredible, and quietness of system is impressive. Now negatives(I know) 1. The size of the system, shocked at actually how big it is!! 2. Amount of USB ports it has(3) 3. Bluetooth devices capable of using on system. Great system, would recommend 9/10 (Old Xbox fanboy lol)

It was quite difficult to pre-order the PS5, but I truly lucked out because even with all the restocks certain retailers have had... it is still unbelievably hard to place the order. I hope anyone that still wants one gets one soon because it really is unfair that the gamers aren't able to land one whilst scalpers have thousands. The PS5 has run beautifully and so intelligently from what I've experienced. The set up was of course easy and fast. The new UI is smooth and I definitely like it more than the old one on the PS4. The Dualsense Controller is AMAZING. It is probably the next best thing (only second to the console itself) with the way it works. It's not as slippery like the Dualshock and feels great in hand. Even after hours of gaming, I did not feel any fatigue in my hands. The battery life is probably similar to its predecessor. Overall, the console runs very smoothly and I have not experienced any sort of loudness with it. I do recommend when playing games, to choose performance over the resolution. You will absolutely get a higher FPS and I think it just runs a lot better that way. Would highly recommend this to anyone that wants to experience next gen even though we've just merely begun to play those games.

Its a PS5! What's there to say. Works really great with a modern TV. Convenient that it comes with a 2.1 HDMI cable. I wish that VRR was enabled for games, and that it came with larger storage, but m.2 SSD prices are on the decline so a good time to add to it. Additionally, if you dislike the white covers the new ones are out now so its easy to get a sleeker look.

It took me a while to get one, but I'm enjoying my PS5! The Controller is awesome and the tactile feedback is next gen. While playing Astrobot, the shooting and rocket firing haptic effect feels so different and cool. PS5 potential is unlimited. I hope it can be fully utilized in up-coming games. Unreal Engine demo was jaw-dropping. I'm looking forward to that level of graphical fidelity.

Excellent in almost every way. Fast loading and tons of speed. The power and eject buttons are much easier to find, but still not ideal. The new interface leaves a lot to be desired. It changes as you changes items and there seems to be no way to customize it. HD space is not remotely enough for next gen games. The design of the system is such that the system cannot lay flat sideways without a small plastic stand shoring it up. It is a strange design choice especially considering the large size. The new dualsense controller is bulkier than the standard (arguably better designed) controller. These changes were likely made to make room for the new dualsense technology, but aside from Astro’s playroom it is not well utilized yet. Personally, my hands cramp up after a half-hour or so of play time. Overall, this is an excellent next gen system, but there were some design and build choices that have left me missing my PS4 Pro.

I was very fortunate enough to order one of these earlier in the year. It's large, but very powerful and the internal fan is pretty quiet compared to my previous ps4. Not a lot of exclusives yet, but I'm loving the short load times and enhancements made to my ps4 games. Easy to use and great quality. The controller is great especially with the trigger resistance in FPS.
