    Still not sure if the upgrade was worth it

    Spme things are different, and some are the same. The menu is hard to figure out. Too bad I didn't know that my dynamic themes would not work. I miss the one I purchased on my PS4. However, the PS5 is faster with loading. A pro is only better if you have a 4k tv. I don't. The PSN store still has issues loading. I have noticed quite a bit of lag that I didn't have on the PS4. The connections with other players are better. I just wanted to upgrade before these got expensive again. If it weren't for the worries of obtaining better peer to peer connections, I wouldn't really want to upgrade. Elden Ring wasn't letting is connect using PS4 to PS5 and vice-versa. So that's resolved. We haven't been able to connect since December 2024 updates. Sony never addressed it. I'm still not sure if the upgrade was worthwhile outside of that.

    I've been a Sony fan since the PS1. I've had every console they've released, however usually waiting for a few revisions for Sony to get the kinks out so to speak. I really like the slim version of the PS5. It fits nicely on my entertainment center with the included horizontal feet. The setup was a breeze and downloading games was painless. I mainly picked it up to play Elden Ring: Nightreign with friends and I love the performance boost from the PS4 version. Being able to play PS4 games on it as well is a huge plus so I don't need to keep my old PS4 hooked up. All in all I am satisfied with the PS5 slim.

    I ordered my PlayStation from Best Buy and the experience was perfect from start to finish. The delivery was extremely fast, the packaging was secure, and the console arrived in flawless condition. Setup was quick and easy, and everything worked immediately right out of the box. Best Buy made the entire process smooth and reliable. Highly recommend purchasing your PlayStation from them!

    I recently upgraded from my PS4, and I'm really glad I did. Of games that were just PS5. Most of the games that are on the market right now. I already own for the PS4. So I figured why bother. But Best buy gave me a good credit deal during the holidays and I bought this and a TV. I'm having a blast with the PS5 even though I'm playing some of the same games. I'm replaying Ghost of Tsushima from the start after I've already beaten it on the PS4. It's even more beautiful. I'm playing God of war Ragnarok which is awesome. The haptic feedback controllers alone are worth the price of admission. I really enjoy the feedback I get in the R2/L2 buttons on my racing games. Bought a couple new games, they kind of suck, but I'm still glad I upgraded. I just hope they start making some good original games again. Seems like covid killed that. The graphics are excellent. I PC gamed for years until the PS3, which was a step down, but my son became old enough to play games. The PS4 has pretty good graphics. But this PS5 is the first time I've seen really strong graphics on a console. It looks great, especially on a Sony OLED TV.

    PS5 Slim - Headset issue

    After many years I finally decided to buy a PS5. It performs well. The only gripe I have is when I connect a headset to the controller the sound cuts out frequently. I am not sure what is the reason as I have looked into how to fix the issue numerous times but the issue doesn't go away.

    Ordered the PS5 and the game and the everything was ready for pick up the following day. Excellent service along with quick and easy ordering. Game itself serves its purpose since I'm not an "everyday " player. Great graphics and gameplay suffice for my needs

    I am a late adopter, I held onto my PS4 Pro forever until Feb 2025. Got a great trade-in deal for it and now I love the PS5 Slim. Terrific system, graphics and SSD speed are notable improvements. Slim is a great form factor for my entertainment center too.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — The Best Console Experience Yet

    What I love: • Super fast loading times thanks to the built-in SSD. You jump into games in seconds. • DualSense controller is a game-changer — the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers make every game feel more immersive. • Graphics are stunning — 4K gaming is smooth, and the detail is impressive, especially in exclusives like Spider-Man: Miles Morales or Demon’s Souls. • Quiet operation — even during heavy gameplay, the console runs almost silently. • Backward compatibility with PS4 games is a huge plus. Minor tips: • Storage fills up fast, so consider expanding with an additional SSD. • Still a bit large in size, so make sure you have space in your setup.
