I’ve owned a PlayStation from the beginning and have always had good luck with them. The graphics are awesome and gameplay is great with no issues connecting. The only thing that I’m not crazy about is the speaker in the controller. It’s better than hearing your communications through the tv but the speaker is terrible. I think I will have to buy a headset.

The PS5 is a very powerful console with 4K graphics, almost instantaneous loading times and a DualSense controller that offers vibration and very immersive adaptive triggers. Its catalogue includes great exclusives such as Spider-Man 2 and God of War: Ragnarök, as well as being compatible with most PS4 games.
It is quiet, fast and offers a modern experience, although its size is large and storage may fall short.
Overall, it is one of the best consoles today for performance, comfort and exclusive games.

Really happy with this purchase. I traded in my PS4 and the upgrade was totally worth it. The PS5 is noticeably faster, with much shorter load times and smoother performance. I also like that many games offer a free PS5 upgrade, which makes the transition even better. Overall, a great upgrade from the previous generation.

As a longtime gamer, I always get excited about new consoles. But when I finally got my hands on the PS5, it completely blew me away.
Graphics & Performance: A New Level of Gaming
The moment I launched Demon’s Souls, I was stunned. The 4K visuals, realistic lighting, and fluid animations were on another level. But what impressed me the most was the ultra-fast SSD—load times are almost nonexistent, making gameplay incredibly smooth. Playing Spider-Man: Miles Morales in 60 FPS with ray tracing felt like a true next-gen experience.
DualSense Controller: Unmatched Immersion
One of the biggest surprises was the DualSense controller. The adaptive triggers in Call of Duty mimic the resistance of different weapons, making each shot feel unique. The haptic feedback in Astro’s Playroom is even more impressive—you can literally feel the difference between walking on metal, sand, or ice. This controller changes the way games feel.
Game Library: A Mix of Classics and Innovation
As a die-hard PlayStation fan, the PS5’s exclusive lineup made it an easy choice. Games like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Final Fantasy XVI showcase the console’s power beautifully. Plus, backward compatibility means I can enjoy PS4 classics like God of War and Ghost of Tsushima with better performance.
Final Verdict: A Must-Have for Gamers!
The PS5 isn’t just a gaming console—it’s a revolutionary experience. With its powerful hardware, game-changing controller, and incredible game lineup, it’s a must-have for every gamer. If you’re still on the fence, go for it—you won’t regret it!

I'm 30 years old, and I got this for my 13 year old brother's birthday thinking it’d just be a cool gift from his even cooler older sister. What I didn’t realize is that I was handing him the controller to his new personality. He hasn’t seen sunlight in days. He eats in front of it. He sleeps next to it. He called it “his queen” once and I don’t think he was joking. Performance wise, this thing is a beast. Lightning fast loading, insanely smooth graphics, and somehow it hasn’t exploded under the pressure of his 12 hour Fortnite marathons. He says it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to him and honestly, I believe it. I’m just hoping he remembers I exist once he levels up enough. Buy this if you want to give someone joy, power, and a perfectly valid reason to avoid all human interaction.

I recently got a PS5 when it was discounted for Black Friday and I have been playing it since. For a while, I’ve been playing on my PS4 which was given to me used. I still works pretty well but not to its full potential. So when I figured out that there was a discount on the PS5, I knew I just had to get it. I love all the games I can now play with the game pass that I have and it looks amazing!

Haven't bought a console in years. Decided the PS5 was the choice to go with. Was not disappointed. Got the disc version to be able to buy games and keep them physically. Works great, haven't had any problems. Very enjoyable

After buying the PS5 and replacing my PS4 I only have good things to say about my purchase. I’ll start with the loading speeds. after playing on the PS5 i realized the drastic change in loading speeds as i realized loading screens were almost non existent. Not just in games but booting them up is so much faster than on a PS4. The graphics and visuals are beautiful making any game you play on a PS5 run smoothly and beautifully as if you are watching movies. Lastly the controller haptic feedback which is one of the biggest reasons why i bought this console. The controllers are way more immersive in mainly shooter games as there is resistance in the triggers that imitate as if you were actually pulling a trigger from an actual gun. Another thing is the recoil in the triggers. I don’t know how they were able to do this but now when you hold down the controller triggers they vibrate and imitate recoil to make it feel more real and immersive. Now of course if you do not like the feeling of the feedback you can turn this setting off. But I could not help but smile the whole time as I was playing the PS5 and I was just amazed at the technology and the huge leap in Playstation. If you have the money i would 100% recommend picking yourself up a PS5 from your local best buy.

It was the perfect christmas gift. Perfect condition, and works so much better than my loved one’s old Ps4. Truly blessed her christmas with the deal available and helping me make this happen. Best buy truly made everything so much easier, answered many questions. It is definitely worth the money spent!!

I love the slim more than the original, it’s not as bulky, or as hot! It runs just as smooth as the original. It had a different texture on the console than the original but I think it’s cool! Overall 10/10 highly recommend oh and ps it has bigger internal space!

The PS5 Slim Disc Edition is everything I wanted—same great performance in a much slimmer design. Runs quietly, loads fast, and the extra storage is a big win. Glad I went with the disc version—super convenient. No regrets!
Best investment of the year!

I’m really loving the PS5! It’s crazy fast, the graphics are awesome, and games run super smooth. The controller is fun to use, and the short loading times are a huge plus. And the controller feels great with its haptic feedback, its super cool.

I ordered this PS5 as a pickup, which was alright, the only complaint is that I wish they could have given me a bag to carry. But that didn't matter, because once I hooked up my PS5, I was off to the races. Compared to the PS4, this is a snappy, fast experience, and I immediately installed all my PS4 discs into this system. I purchased this on a whim, and it was a great decision.

Really a great console. I have a ps4 pro and the graphics and loading times of the ps5 are a massive step up. Games have more depth and immersion. I have owned every playstation console and will eventually get the ps5 pro. Just so everyone knows the new slim edition does come with 1tb of storage where as the original ps5 was 825gb or something like that. Nice touch.
