Customer Ratings & Reviews

No other way to put it, this thing is BIG. I also don’t care for the white system either, it gets dirty quickly. My Xbox 360 was gross looking after a few years and I imagine this will be the same. The system is insanely fast compared to the PS4. Load times are minimal. Hard to to judge the games based on the limited launch titles, but Spiderman is amazing!

It’s a solid console with a lot of potential, but right now there’s pretty much just Demon Souls and Spider-Man. Also, Cyberpunk runs fine on it. New controller is REALLY nice, and Astro’s Playroom does a great job showing off the new features. Runs PS4 games a little better than the PS4-Pro, but it’s nothing crazy. Can’t say much on the load times, as I’ve had an SSD in the PS4-Pro forever, but I’m sure it’d be a huge difference coming from the old HDD. Grab one if you can, but it’s definitely NOT worth paying a scalper.

I was finally fortunate enough to get one of these in my car and I don’t think I’ve ever been happier to spend $500! Say what you will, but I love the unique spaceship design of this console! But underneath the hood, the specs for are incredible as loading times are little to none with stunning graphics and ray tracing. Also, the technology behind the controller definitely takes things to the next level! Make sure you play Astro’s Playroom as it displays the full potential of this next gen controller. I love my PS5!

Outside of the bulkiness in size, I am satisfied with the purchase. This thing is massive, first gen PS3 massive. The adaptive controls are a nice new feature, as well as the faster load times. I was lucky to get one of these after months of not being able to, only to hear that a new design is coming out. A great improvement from the PS4.

I love my PS5. The new controllers are amazing. Lots of great games available for it.

Loving the use of this system so far. Quicker load times and smoother graphics. So far, I've used it to play the Astro game that was included and Planet coaster. It streams videos nicely as well. We had no issues with transferring data from our old ps4, but it did take a while. What I do like is that you can be signed into your PS account simultaneously with another system with another TV. We could not do that solely on the PS4. That is definitely a step up. PS4 games play on it fine as well. Well worth the investment!

I was lucky enough to get myself one. The lack of new PS5 titles early on is as expected. But I'm playing through FF7 Remake and it loads faster and runs smoother. Cant wait for the next gen release of it. I tried running the console on the vertical method and it just....looked too much of a conversation starter. So I installed mine down and it seems to perform just as well so dont feel pressured to have yours sitting vertical. Manual states that temps should not be altered and it supports either way.

Probably one of the strongest system launches I can remember. Super fast SSD loads content in an instant, slick new UI makes the console “feel” like a next gen piece of hardware, and the new, vastly improved Dual Sense controller rounds out the package. The system launches with a number of solid ways to show off the new system, including the excellent pack in game, Astro’s Playroom, as well as a remade Demon’s Souls, built from the ground up for PS5, and a new friggin’ Spider-Man game! So, yeah ... the system is great!

I am so happy I was able to purchase one in October! My ps4 died on me in August so decided to try for a ps5! I've had a great experience with my ps5 was able to download and play all my games! The PS5 compared to the ps4 is much faster and I love the new dual sense controller! I do have two cons with my experience (4 stars). Number one is the storage. You will definitely need to buy some type of external storage. This being the digital version it will require so much more storage for all your games. Number two is actually the durability and quality of the controller. My controller recently suffered from drifting. I tried some YouTube videos and nothing. I contacted Sony and sent it to be fixed and replaced. I am currently waiting for my controller to be returned to me. As of right now I cannot play any ps5 games since those require a dual sense controller. I can play ps4 games with my dual shock controller. I read online that a lot of people have been experiencing the same problem with their dual sense controller. It's been very disappointing

The PS5 takes gaming to the next level. The gameplay is insane! I did have to buy an external hdd after about 9 games though!

Everything about the PS5 is good! The graphics, performance, and design are all good. The only downside is the size.

The console is enormous compared to other previous consoles. The controller feels good, there isn’t much difference between the PS4 & PS5 versions. It still plays PS4 games so it’s definitely worth it to wait till they are in stock on the regular. The only thing I see as upside is the load times are extremely short so keeps your play more fluent.

I have been waiting to get a PS5 for a long time after trading in my PS4 for Xbox 1 X. The wait is over. And I am not disappointed. Backward combability is amazing. I can play really much all my PS4 games on this bad boy. The graphics are great! I can see all the little details on Spiderman and the Last of US part II. But I am mostly impressed by the load time. I can load most of my games in less than 10 seconds! Sony has really nailed it. You can't build a gaming PC as powerful as PS5 for $500. Highly recommended it!

If you want an awesome gaming counsel with better graphics than the ps4, an updated controller, updated interface, and access to all of the upcoming sweet looking games than this is the console for you. The only tough part is its hard to purchase. I would recommend pre-loading your info into your best buy account, make a Twitter account, and follow various ps5 stock alert users, and keep your notifications on. When you get a moment notification log into you best buy account asap and try to purchase. Good luck!

This thing lives up to the hype, so far it’s been awesome, load times, graphics, and then the new haptic controllers are amazing!

Great product, excellent graphics and performance, the new controller is great. recommended thank you.

Massive upgrade from last gen you can immediately tell the difference, definitely worth it

Definitely a must have for anyone who loves gaming, graphics, gameplay, loading and so easy to use. Definitely buy of the year for me

Simply awesome! Amazing load times, improved graphics on old games and a simply impressive controller. This is next-gen at its best!

I’ve had this console for a while, and all I can say is that the experience is amazing. Sony really did a great job including everything in the box, including an HDMI cable, and the quality is insane. The haptic feedback on the dual sense is unlike anything i’ve ever experienced and the little details like the blue lights on the side of the console really add to the experience. In terms of gaming, there are faster load up times compared to the ps4, however graphically it’s about the same.
