    This was my first big purchase! I had saved up for months and it was so worth it I still use it as much as day one. I love it!

    It is big and bulky. First one didn’t work so bought a second one while the first is getting repaired. System is fast, SSD for daaays. Wish it had a bigger SSD drive for all of my games. Internet connectivity is dodgy, for some reason. Images don’t load immediately, lots of “please wait” or “online connection lost”. Maybe needs some time to stabilize? Maybe it’s my network? I do not know. Ps5 games look stunning on my 4ktv. PS4 games run smoooooth. 4k Ultra-HD Blu-Ray player is kind of clunky but overall looks good and sounds good with some settings adjustments.

    The PS5 runs great. It is quiet and cool running! Games look and run amazing on it! It was quite difficult to pre-order the PS5, but I was very lucky.

    The PS5 is just as advertised. The machine's design is very sleek and futuristic. It's almost twice as long as the PS4. It runs all of my PS4 games and loads them faster than my PS4 Pro. The Dualsense controller is the most comfortable pad I've held. Setting up and connecting the machine to my 4k TV was a breeze. It was also easy to transfer all of the game data from my PS4 to the PS5 via network cable (or you can do it via WIFI). Just downloaded the God of War update patch today, and the 4k/60FPS graphics blew me away. The PS5 is an essential upgrade to the next generation of gaming!

    This console is truly a joy to own. Really enjoying next amenities so far. Already plenty of gorgeous, smooth games to play and load times are almost nonexistent in comparison to PS4. With extensive use so far I’ve encountered ZERO system issues. Seems to be very reliable and built to last. If I had a single critique it would be that it only comes with 500gb, but in my case this won’t become a problem for quite a while.

    I finally got my hands on my PS5 on Nov. 27th, What can I say that hasn't been said already? When you own a PS5 you definitely know you own a NEXT GEN Console!! I'm a Gamer so I use my PS5 every single day! And it has not disappointed. The control itself is something out of this world!! I didn't know what Haptic feedback was until I got my hands on the PS5 controller. Put it this way... I could never go back on any other controller again! They really out did themselves with the PS5. I wanted this so much that I keep checking every single website every day until I finally got my chance with Best Buy!!

    This console will make you never want to return to your PS4. The graphics are great, it runs amazingly smooth, rarely ever gets loud and definitely runs a lot cooler.

    Lives up to the hype and the controller is a game changer. System runs quite and cool. So far all 3rd party games fun and look better on the os5 than the series X.

    It is a nice step up from the PS4 Pro, and I like the new controller MUCH better, but I suppose opinions may vary there. Improved graphics are always welcome, but everyone wants them even more improved. The games that really take advantage of the newer console are only trickling out, but everything looks amazing. Make sure you have an HDR TV as well as a GOOD HDMI 1.4 cable to get full HDR quality. some of the cheaper cables are not actually HDMI 1.4 and will not let you get the best image possible in your games. I will be happier when the NVME extended storage is supported. It isn't loud. There have been a few consoles over the years with enough fans to double as a space heater, and sounded like a jet idling in your living room. This one has not been that. Whoever designed the case should be fired. Then rehired. Then fired again for good measure. The design is terrible. The basic black box (or white or silver) is perfect for home entertainment, and this thing isn't practical for throwing into a backpack and bring to a friend's house. It isn't practical for fitting in many entertainment centers. Sitting on it's side, it looks like it isn't level because of how the panels curve. You have this little plastic dongle thing you put under it so that it is level, even though it looks like it isn't. So yeah, I think it's ugly. Also, for PS+ members, there are games available to PS5 owners that are not for PS4 (including Until Dawn and The Last of Us).

    I absolutely love the new gen console. The graphics are stunning, especially used with a newer 4khd tv it makes games/movies much more clearer and brighter and realistic. I'm so glad I was able to cop on best buy. I ended up copping the first time back in december through walmart but the shipper "lost" my ps5 package... a week later after it was lost and I was yet again sad that I still was unable to successfully get my hands on a ps5, best buy dropped and luckily I got one! Overall console works great, no issues. Hope everyone who is still trying to get one keep trying you'll get it!

    I love my ps5, I haven’t had any issues so far. It does feel like a next gen console and a upgrade from the PS4. Everything is much faster, graphics are beautiful, controller feels and looks amazing and what I enjoy the most is how quiet it is! No more having to put my tv on max volume just to hear over the jet engine noises my PS4 pro was making. Although all these things are an improvement, I feel like you shouldn’t be in the need to be in a rush for it. Don’t buy from scalpers or feel depressed that you don’t have one yet. I say you should definitely wait until more ps5 exclusive games come out.

    Yea it was madness trying to get this at launch, but i got lucky. Really enjoying it so far. It feels very next gen. Demon's Souls remake is a visual masterpiece. Eye popping stuff. Spiderman, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank... really awesome games. The controller is now one of my favorites of all time. Surprising how good it is. The OS is awesome and seems more next gen as well. My experience has been great. No real complaints. I own all 3(xbox series x, switch, ps5)... The PS5 It's currently my favorite of all the 3 platforms. The Games. Really good stuff.

    Better than the PS4 in every way possible. I love how quiet it is, that's the biggest thing for me. The PS4 was like a turbo jet.
