    If you asked me to describe the PS5 in one word my choice would be lackluster. Let’s start with the bad and then we’ll get onto the good. The differences between the ps5 and ps4, are very very minimal. The Home Screen is almost identical with a few slight adjustments, and without a 4K tv there is little to no reason to upgrade. If you are a person who lives frugally and can do without the newest and the best stuff, pass over on the PS5. Get a newer ps4 and you will basically have the same experience as the PS5. There are only a small handful of ‘next gen’ exclusives, the majority of your game library will be your same games you played on ps4, with the exception of games that have alternate versions for better performance on the ps5. I have owned this ps5 for almost 8 months and in my span of owning it I have only ever played 2 games that were exclusive to the ps5. Ghost of Tsushima and god of war. Another issue I’ve noticed with the ps5 is the lack of vibration on the controller. The haptic feedback in the triggers are very hit or miss for people. About half the ps5 owners I’ve talked to say they hate it and they’ll never use it, others say they like it and think it’s a cool feature. One of the major FAILURES of this console is the PlayStation plus new structure. Do not fall for the bait, the majority of games on the higher tiers are streaming. Meaning they will not be downloaded and they will only be temporarily available for you to play for an amount of time. Now that I’ve covered some of the bad, let’s talk about what I like about it. The screen share feature is a new feature that was not seen on the ps4, allowing you to watch your friend in party’s gameplay while still playing your game. Either by creating a side bar and showing you their gameplay without covering any of your gameplay, or having a small box that you can choose the location of, overlapping your gameplay. This feature is nothing short of awesome, I love having small watch parties with my buddies and getting to see their perspective without interrupting my own games. Another change I enjoy is the quick switch feature allowing you to press two buttons and switch from party chat to game chat, it’s very quick and very effective. Lastly my other favorite feature would be the removal of the PlayStation denying you to dashboard. Whether the game is loading or glitching, the dashboard button input on the ps4 would sometimes be flat out denied by the console. Example, when you’re starting a game and then press the home button. PlayStation 4 will make a very annoying noise and let you know you’re not ganna home screen right now. The ps5 will not do this stupid shxt, it will do what you’re trying to do. Lastly let me mention one thing, the predatory business tactic of forcing people to buy bundles with games they do not want, is very very dirty. It’s a very slimey disgusting business plan to get you to spend more money for the same product. Despite me having zero interest in god of war 2, I was forced to buy the bundle with the game in it for a raised price, because there were no other consoles ready to be sold. The same can be said about the Xbox series s as well. The only thing I can call this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. This is exactly like how PlayStation removed the sale of any digital game through 3rd party sellers. Forcing you to buy it on the PlayStation store. This is one of the same, despite not having any interest in the bundles extra merchandise, if you want a ps5, you will likely be buying a bundle with some garbage game you don’t want included at a higher price.

    Fun console, hard to go wrong. Could use more storage. You can get away with the 1 TB of internal storage if you delete games you play less, but I ended up expanding the storage with an SSD, which isn’t a terrible experience (and notably does not impact the warranty!).
