    Its a PS5! What's there to say. Works really great with a modern TV. Convenient that it comes with a 2.1 HDMI cable. I wish that VRR was enabled for games, and that it came with larger storage, but m.2 SSD prices are on the decline so a good time to add to it. Additionally, if you dislike the white covers the new ones are out now so its easy to get a sleeker look.

    This console is absolutely amazing. It’s so quiet compared to the PS4. The only time I hear anything is when the disc is being read from. It looks like a spaceship when I have it on the side on one of my shelves which I love. I just wish it had the quick resume feature and a few more teraflops. As far as speed and gameplay, it’s smoking fast. Load times are even better for Bloodborne. I’ve been having a blast with Demon’s Souls.

    Process of ordering was great. Had tried with Walmart 4 times and would get all the way to hitting confirm order and it would say out of stock. Got the PS5 first try with Best Buy. The graphics for the games I have and the speed of the system are great. It’s a little bigger than I had expected but I’m just glad to have one. The system is really quiet and sometimes I forget it’s even on when streaming Netflix, etc... on it.

    PS5 - Another Great Console

    I was very fortunate enough to order one of these earlier in the year. It's large, but very powerful and the internal fan is pretty quiet compared to my previous ps4. Not a lot of exclusives yet, but I'm loving the short load times and enhancements made to my ps4 games. Easy to use and great quality. The controller is great especially with the trigger resistance in FPS.

    Load times are ridiculously fast and graphics are amazing on 4K tv! The controller works well and is well designed. It was definitely worth the wait! Only hard part was trying to get one at times it was impossible! Definitely recommend it. I would have gotten the digital one but the disk is the one that showed up at checkout so I took it. If you want to save $100 bucks definitely try to get the digital version.

    It took me a while to get one, but I'm enjoying my PS5! The Controller is awesome and the tactile feedback is next gen. While playing Astrobot, the shooting and rocket firing haptic effect feels so different and cool. PS5 potential is unlimited. I hope it can be fully utilized in up-coming games. Unreal Engine demo was jaw-dropping. I'm looking forward to that level of graphical fidelity.

    Awesome game system with lightning fast load times and great graphics. I still think the Xbox controller does it right with the offset left analog stick, but you eventually get used to the Playstation setup. PS5 exclusives make the purchase worthwhile, but it's a shame the second hand market has made these nearly impossible to find.

    Next-gen is legit! Surprised I was able to receive item on launch, and must say I’m blown away by the system! Graphics are amazing, load times are incredible, and quietness of system is impressive. Now negatives(I know) 1. The size of the system, shocked at actually how big it is!! 2. Amount of USB ports it has(3) 3. Bluetooth devices capable of using on system. Great system, would recommend 9/10 (Old Xbox fanboy lol)

    Excellent in almost every way. Fast loading and tons of speed. The power and eject buttons are much easier to find, but still not ideal. The new interface leaves a lot to be desired. It changes as you changes items and there seems to be no way to customize it. HD space is not remotely enough for next gen games. The design of the system is such that the system cannot lay flat sideways without a small plastic stand shoring it up. It is a strange design choice especially considering the large size. The new dualsense controller is bulkier than the standard (arguably better designed) controller. These changes were likely made to make room for the new dualsense technology, but aside from Astro’s playroom it is not well utilized yet. Personally, my hands cramp up after a half-hour or so of play time. Overall, this is an excellent next gen system, but there were some design and build choices that have left me missing my PS4 Pro.

    I havent own Playstation since since the orginal and owned dreamcast and Xbox. Been Xbox fanboy and loyal to them. I got caught up in war between the two consoles which was mistake. I said all these nice PS games i wanted to play and never have. No more and i was able to get this day one of release. I have played spiderman remastered, miles morales and game that comes included with it i cant think of the name. I can say i have very much enjoyed this console and games. Im looking forward to buying new games that are exclusive to the platform. Graphics amazing and controller. The bad i dont like is storage. They need solution like Xbox Series X. They need a gamepass type subscription hands down it cant Xbox service and Dolby Atmos support for home theater system is lacking. In spite of all that i still really like this console. This generation i will enjoy both consoles and keep it moving.

    BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME THIS YEAR. I bought the console expecting it to be great and I was not disappointed. The haptic feedback and the 3D audio the PS5 provides is out of this world! If you want a whole new experience with gaming, PS5 is a good choice. The storage is a little downside so I would recommend buying a storage unit but other than that the gameplay is nice and the load times are outstanding.

    Not much to be said beyond what you already know, so I’ll focus on the “gotcha” type things. First off, the purchase process: Best Buy has implemented a couple of things to make purchasing this less of a fight against scalper bots. You’ll need to physically pick it up, and inventory requires a double add to cart, as well as inventory being released in waves. For folks like me who don’t have all day to monitor stock levels, this was a big help. That being said, these are still pretty hard to get ahold of. Second, the storage drive: This is pretty impressive from a performance perspective but the actual usable capacity is not brilliant. Only about 700gb is available for use by games. If you’re like me and have a sizeable PS4 library and don’t want to keep uninstalling and reinstalling, this becomes an issue. Alternative is that you’re going to need an external drive because as I write this, it’s not possible to use the internal expansion bay. Keep in mind, two external drives cannot be used by the system at once. Also, if you’re going to do this - do some research on drives that are compatible as not every drive will work for this purpose. Otherwise a fantastic product and a worthwhile upgrade, especially if you have one of the early PS4 Pro’s like me and the noise was getting on your nerves. This runs ally quieter and generates a lot less heat than the PS4 Pro.

    Great Console and the new controller make the games more immersive. I've been playing Demon's Souls and the haptic feedback is unlike anything I've felt before in a console controller. The console is quiet and can get a bit loud when installing a game but after it completes installing its very silent. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and I'm looking forward to what Sony first party studios are developing.

    I'm so happy I was able to purchase one of the PS5 consoles recently. The graphics are amazing and I love how the vibrations in the controller make the gaming experience more realistic. It takes no time for games to load up now. I think NBA 2k21 was loaded within 5-10 seconds. I can't wait to play all the amazing games on this console and would recommend everyone to get one when in stock.
