Overall, I’m super happy with the PS5 Slim. It’s a solid upgrade and definitely worth it if you’re into gaming or just want a cool entertainment setup.
-Design:Super compact and sleek
- Performance:Lightning-fast, say goodbye to loading screens
- Games: Huge library, including stunning exclusives
- Controller: The DualSense is next-level
- Graphics & Sound: 4K and 3D audio are game-changers
-Value: Great bang for your buck
I was stoked to finally get one. First thing I noticed? This thing is way smaller than the old PS5 – a total space-saver and it looks neat in my room.
Performance-wise, it's like night and day compared to my old console. Games load up super quick, which is awesome. And the game selection is crazy good. Been playing “Spider-Man: Miles Morales” – it's like you're right there in the game, the graphics are that good.
But the real star here is the DualSense controller. It’s hard to explain, but it's like you can feel every action in your hands. Shooting a web or swinging a sword feels real.
Now, the visuals and sound – just wow. With my 4K TV, the games look insanely good. And the 3D audio? It's like sounds are coming from every direction.
Also, this console is quiet and doesn’t get too hot, which is a huge plus for me.
Value-wise, I feel like I got more than my money's worth. It’s not just a gaming console; it's a whole entertainment system.

Owned the original PS5 and after getting rid of it i missed it, I purchased the slim model with MW3, personally I like this new model a little better then the OG model. The 1tb storage is a bit more convenient compared to the 825gb of the original models. I’ve had it for several days and have been playing it non stop, no performance issues or any flaws. Very enjoyable… the smaller size may not seem like a huge difference but it’s definitely convenient :)

First day using it and I couldn’t be more happy! Definitely way slimmer then the regular PS5, and you could even detach the disk compartment if you want. Graphics are great and runs so much smoother then the PS4.

I love how the Slim is smaller than the original PS5 and gives you more storage. I have had this console for more than a month now. It has been nothing but good to me so far. Best money ever spent on a console. Now just waiting on GTA 6 to drop!

I had an OG PS5 and that thing ran smooth, quiet, and I never had issues. I picked up the slim & probably after 2 weeks of owning it, it makes a very low humming noise that is driving me crazy!!! Its in an open space with plenty of room to breathe and from what i’m reading online people are saying its best to keep it by a window? Thats excessive considering its practically brand new and I play for maybe 1-2 hours a day after work, NO THANKS. Not sure if i should exchange it or just flat out return it. Big let down! I must say though, the console is so much more compact and sleek compared to the fatter PS5, and the panels come off with ease so taking off the cover to get to the SSD port wasn’t as nerve racking as the OG PS5 since I personally thought those tough to take off. Could’ve been perfect but Sony definitely missed the mark with the slim :( Oh and before I forget, the box on the slim is very misleading because it does NOT come with that metal stand it shows! I had read prior to release that the stand will be sold separately but when I saw the box i’m not going to lie I was a little hopeful but low and behold no stand. In case you’re wondering its an additional $30.00 and no store in my area has any in store. Bummer since I stand mine vertically and the console doesn’t seem as stable and planted without it.

Best gaming console for the family

I’m so glad that I upgraded form the ps3 to ps5. My entire family enjoys the experience on the new PS5.
It may look a little bit different thanks to the 2023 Slim model revision, but today’s PS5 isn’t radically different from what came out three years ago: it’s still a weird-looking workhorse of a machine with a best-in-class controller, and it can more than hold its own when playing the most demanding games available today.
For the most part, you can put aside speed comparisons with the Xbox Series X and enjoy the best gaming experience ever

The PlayStation 5 is hands down the best gaming console I’ve owned. The graphics are absolutely stunning—smooth, sharp, and incredibly realistic. Games load in seconds thanks to the super-fast SSD, which makes a huge difference compared to older consoles. The DualSense controller is a real game-changer too—the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers make every game feel more immersive. The system runs quietly, even during long gaming sessions, and the interface is clean and easy to navigate. On top of that, streaming apps and entertainment features make it an all-in-one hub for both gaming and movies. Overall, the PS5 delivers a next-level experience that truly feels like the future of gaming.

It’s a PS5, what else can I say!? Got this after having a series s, way more storage and graphics seem to be a lot better. When it comes to the controllers, Sony makes the best, I got through 3 Xbox controllers and I don’t even play too often at all, and never play fight game where you slam the buttons a lot more. I only played fifa (soccer). The ps5 controller seems a lot more durable already!

PS5 slim is a total upgrade from ps4. We've waited a few years to get this and I wish we upgraded sooner! The graphics are crisp on our 8k tv. I'm definitely glad we waited for the slim vs the og ps5 because the console can lay flat and the size is compact enough to fit in our entertainment system (unlike the og ps5). I also like that there are two usb c's in the front.
