    It runs quieter than I thought it would, and everything plays smoothly. Connecting to it via PS Remote Play is also a breeze, and I have no trouble playing my games from afar. The DualSense controller is also a nice touch, one of the most innovative controllers I've used in a long time

    The PlayStation 5 is a true leap forward in the realm of gaming, delivering a powerful and immersive experience that sets a new standard for next-gen consoles. Sony's latest creation boasts a sleek and futuristic design, complemented by cutting-edge hardware and a refined user interface. **Performance and Graphics:** The PS5 is powered by a custom AMD Ryzen processor and an RDNA 2-based GPU, providing an exceptional performance boost over its predecessor. Games run smoothly at 4K resolution with stunningly detailed graphics and ray tracing, making every visual aspect pop. The SSD significantly reduces load times, allowing players to jump into their favorite titles almost instantaneously. **Controller Innovation:** The DualSense controller is a game-changer, with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that provide a tactile and immersive experience. The subtle vibrations and resistance in the triggers enhance gameplay, whether you're feeling the tension of a bowstring or the rumble of an off-road vehicle. **Game Library:** The PS5 offers an impressive lineup of exclusive titles such as "Demon's Souls," "Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart," and "Returnal," showcasing the console's capabilities. Backward compatibility with a vast selection of PS4 games ensures a rich library right from the start. **User Experience:** The user interface is intuitive and user-friendly, with features like the Control Center allowing quick access to settings and notifications without interrupting gameplay. The integration of PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now provides additional value with access to a variety of games and online multiplayer. **Design and Build:** While the PS5's design is bold and distinctive, it may not fit seamlessly into every entertainment setup due to its size. However, the console's aesthetics are a testament to its futuristic vision. The cooling system is efficient and relatively quiet, ensuring long gaming sessions without overheating issues. **Conclusion:** The PlayStation 5 is a remarkable console that delivers on its promise of a next-gen gaming experience. With its powerful hardware, innovative controller, and a growing library of exclusive games, it is a must-have for gaming enthusiasts. Despite its large footprint, the PS5's performance and features make it a worthy addition to any gamer's collection.

    Amazing love it. Comes with one remote, no disc drive, and no vertical stand. Just so yall are aware, I knew this when buying. I got it during the Black Friday sale but the taxes/etc. brought it up to almost the normal price. Great so far and the graphics/everything are amazing. Definitely recommend if you‘re looking for an upgrade like I was. Having been loving the horizon series since I got it.

    I bought this PS5 for my wife as a Christmas gift. She doesn’t game much but played the PS2 back in the day. This console was extremely easy to set up, and use. The games look amazing, the controller battery is phenomenal and it works like a charm. -Pros: Great selection of games. Comfortable controller. Easy to set up and use. -Cons: Only 1TB hard drive. Overall, a fantastic purchase.

    ### PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition Review The PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition features a sleek, minimalist design that’s significantly thinner and lighter than the original. Despite its compact size, it retains the powerful hardware of the PS5, offering smooth 4K gaming and fast load times with its ultra-fast SSD. As a digital-only console, it lacks a disc drive, making it ideal for those who prefer downloading games. It supports all PS5 titles and many PS4 games, ensuring access to a vast library. Overall, it’s a stylish and efficient choice for modern gamers.

    I’ve played for over 10 years on Xbox playing first person shooters and racing simulation games. But lately I have gotten tired of how bad some of the new games on Xbox I’ve been so I decided to switch and try a PlayStation five and all I can say is why did I wait so long, the graphics are just amazing on Gran Tursimo 7 and its lightning fast and hasnt frozen like my series x would do. My only complaint would be at how fast download speeds are. War thunder on my series x took only 90mins to download. On my ps5 it took 28hours! Same wifi same internet speeds test but it sure is slower! But will i return it back? Nope. Im hooked!

    Amazing graphics, I personally first got the fifa 24 and it looks like your watching a game on tv the characters look so realistic the features and everything. Same says of working with play station plus which is amazing and works wells with memory placed, console is super cool looking it’s for the slim look the controller is very interesting you feel the motions more the vibrations and heptics it makes are way stronger than my ps4. I would definitely recommend it’s a household product in my family it’s played by my 13 year old my 23 year old and my 26 year old including me and my husband very liked very likely to be purchasing a second one for the house

    PlayStation five. I could have sworn it was supposed to come with a hundred dollar gift card on Cyber Monday. Drove an hour to get it at that specific store. Guess not because I don't see it anymore. Was a peaceful drive.

    A Huge Upgrade and Totally Worth It

    I finally got my PS5, and honestly, it’s been an amazing experience so far. The first thing I noticed is how fast everything loads — games start almost instantly, and switching between apps feels incredibly smooth. The graphics are stunning, especially in titles that take full advantage of the hardware. The DualSense controller is probably my favorite part. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers make games feel much more immersive than on previous consoles. It’s a small detail, but it really adds to the overall experience. The console is bigger than I expected, but it’s quiet and stays cool even after long gaming sessions. Storage fills up quickly, though, so I might end up adding an SSD later on. Overall, I’m really happy with the PS5. It’s a great console, fun to use, and definitely feels like a true next-gen upgrade.

    Pulled the trigger on a PS5 from Best Buy, and let’s just say it has dramatically improved my quality of life… while proportionally reducing my wife’s patience. The console runs like a dream, loads faster than I can explain myself, and delivers graphics so crisp my wife now knows exactly when I’m “just finishing this one last match.” Every time she gives me the look, I simply point at the flawless performance of this machine and remind her that greatness requires sacrifice. She disagrees. Strongly. But performance is performance, and the PS5 delivers. If you’re ready for cutting-edge gaming, and occasional passive-aggressive commentary in the background, this is the investment for you. Five stars. Zero regrets. My wife would rate it differently, but fortunately, this review is mine.

    Worked great, it is very quick and would recommend to others looking into a gaming console. Could find it cheaper on market places but you never know what you’re going to get. So for peace of mind Best Buy has the best price for a new good working console!
