    The PlayStation 5 is amazing. It def is much faster than the PS4 snd the graphics are def better. It is very easy to use and doesn’t overheat or make a lot of noise. The only issue I had was that the 825gbs was not enough. But that issue could be resolved by having an external drive for more storage. Def a great buy and worth the price.

    SSD is lightning fast. Definitely the best feature. I do wish more games supported 60fps at 4K, but the hardware itself is very powerful. Never had any issues with stuttering or any serious loss of frame rate. The storage capacity could be a bit more. Battery life on the controllers is also a disappointing.

    Amazing performance and the controller is awesome. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers are very immersive. Highly recommend you try Astro's Playroom when you get your PS5 setup. I hope games continue to utilize these awesome features in the future and don't ignore them like the touchpad when it was introduced with the dualshock 4.

    Incredibly fast load and boot times, as well as nearly completly silent. Runs PS4 games better, and PS5 game graphics are some of the best I've seen. I have complaints about the UI, bit every other generation of Sony consoles, I'm sure that stuff will be ironed out with firmware updates. Overall completely satisfied with this console.

    What can I say? It's the next iteration of the PlayStation, and it rules. The controller is next-level cool. Grafix...the grafix are good. Don't love the visual design of the console itself (and it's so huge!) but it's not a big deal. UI is totally fine to my eyes, although some people don't care for it.

    Was a birthday gift for my son. Of coarse i wanted it also. He loves it. Pair this with the PS VR2. Awesome! Only negative comment would be storage. These systems should come with at least 1TB memory. 2TB would be better. With these lsrge game downloads you can't have that many at a time

    I was lucky enough to buy my PS5 on launch day. Graphics, gameplay, and controller are definitely upgraded compared to my PS4. Loading times and downloads from the ps store are faster as well. Most likely you will come across storage issues, but do not let that stop you from experiencing the PS5. It is definitely worth it.

    Exactly what I'd hoped for after all the hype. I have a PS4 as well, and can say that 1) this is much much quieter, 2) the graphics are better than the PS4, even when playing a PS4 game from disk (somehow), and 3) load times and startup and shutdown are much faster.

    I didn’t understand the hype at first, but it’s honestly a great console, once you can get one. The graphics are amazing and the speed is crazy fast, only complaint would be the fan can be loud sometimes but it’s easy to ignore it. And the space, the space is awful! But other than that it’s a great console!!

    Fantastic system I highly recommend it. The graphics are great and that audio capabilities are awesome. The controller design is truly groundbreaking. The whole package combined makes for an extremely immersive playing experience. I can only imagine if you pair this with the new VR headset.

    Worthy Upgrade

    A must own for any serious gamer. Although the graphics only get a modest boost with the increased power, the jump in frame rate and load times makes the console a big improvement over the Playstation 4. The size makes it a little harder to find a spot in your entertainment center but it's an eye-catching design.

    Solid product. You probably know what you're getting in to purchasing one but here are some things to know: The standard improvements you'd expect are all here, the visual/audio upgrades are fantastic. The new controller is amazing. Feels truly next generation. It's the first PlayStation controller I've liked, although I still prefer the Xbox one. The user interface is AWFUL. It's difficult to use and to find where things are. The console is also missing some standard features from the PS4 Pro that are TBD. Backwards compatibility is strange, as are the way next-gen upgrades are handled. It's not the worst thing in the world but the fact it doesn't assume that I just want the PS5 version when I stick in a disc is annoying. The design of the system is frustrating. It's a huge box, and requires use of the included stand in both orientations since it wont sit flat either way. It's unbelievable they shipped it like this. There still isn't a huge amount of reason to hunt down one of these versus continuing to play your old PS4.

    I love the ps5 definitely a great upgrade. I was an Xbox fan, still am. Downfall is the ps5 controllers don’t hold enough power to last compared how Xbox controllers you can attach a better battery, however the controllers don’t need to be plugged in during game play unless you need to recharge

    The PS5 is incredible. Its super powerful, while also being very quiet. The new dual sense controller is fantastic, and that's coming from someone that has hated the prior dualshocks. The disc drive is nice to have, but mostly useless in this day and age. Well worth the purchase....if you can find one!

    Wow! That's the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of what to say about the PS5. It looks amazing, loading speed is incredible, new controllers are amazing and of course the graphics are second to none. Blows away all other consoles with ease. If your thinking of getting one, I would definitely recommend it.

    Managed to get my hands on a PS5 Disc on a Thursday drop without any shipping or payment information saved. Best Buy has the best releases in the game hands down and this console has been nothing short of amazing. Insane load times and graphics and the controller is the best controller I’ve ever used.

    I was extremely excited to finally get my hands on a Playstation 5! Just as expected from Sony, they truly outdid themselves! The graphics and load times for this console are above all expectations! The Playstation 5 without a doubt out performs the PS4 & PS4 pro by a long shot. 100% satisfied with this product

    Let me start off by saying I love the console! The graphics from the games and movies seem like I am really getting my money’s worth alone. My favorite part about the system is the controller. I just feel like I have more control and it is much more responsive. However, it does have drawbacks. I have a clicking noise when my external hdd is plugged in. Definitely a computing sound. Which brings me to my next point the CEO over there hasn’t heard anything about the limited storage. Well hopefully he sees that. The storage, despite download speeds is a huge drawback and reason enough for me to give this three stars. But, the graphics and responsiveness do outweigh that. Plus, I think demons souls more than makes up for any of that.
