    Playstation 5 has been great so far, with the ability to play PS4 games and make them even better and with faster load times is great. Haptic feedback on the PS5 is also a game changer. I have really enjoyed the time with the system so far and shows a generational leap from the PS4

    Was lucky enough to get one around a month ago and I must say the PS5 nails what a next generation gaming experience truly feels like. From the fast SSD, updated graphics, higher refresh rates in games that support it and most importantly the dual sense controller.

    My current setup is the PS5 on a B9 LG OLED. I moved up from a PS4 Pro. The PS5 looks great on the TV. It will play “4K” content at 120fps where the PS4 had a noticeable drop in hitting a consistent 60fps. Spider-Man(s) look great, Van Guard looks great. Load times are very fast, even from PS4 games on the hard drive. I still use the PS4 pro often, so I have a good comparison of experiences. I am very happy with my purchase. That being said, if I didn’t have a TV/monitor that allows the PS5 to be fully utilized, I don’t know if it would be worth the purchase? The graphics are better, but definitely not the same jump I remember from previous game system generations. I am excited to get the adapter for PSVR to see if there is a difference. The Pro version made a huge difference, I’m hoping the PS5 makes a similar change.

    Amazing console, Huge upgrade from the PS4. The graphics are incredible and the gameplay is smooth. Games load very quickly, there's basically no wait time. Storage could be better. Looks very sleek and is a large console so you'll need a bit of space.

    Awesome console!! The black and white colors compliment the sleek design. The haptic feedback controller is an awesome new innovative addition that currently exclusive to PS5. In addition the load times are fairly quick and the user interface is easy to navigate through.

    Unbelievably fast, incredible performance while maintaining near silent operation. This is by far the best console release I have seen in my time as a gamer. Launch titles are great so far and the future is only brighter. True innovation on the dual sense controllers only helps

    It’s a PlayStation 5. The controller is revolutionary for gaming as long as developers take advantage of its special functions to the triggers & hepatic feedback. Comes pre-loaded with astros playroom which is Sony’s take on Nintendo’s take of Mario. This game takes the best advantage of the controllers functions & will really put a smile on your face. This console is HUGE. At least 15 inches required if you are standing or placing on its side. A screwdriver is required if you are using the included stand. It comes with 1 controller, HDMI 2.1 cable, power cable & some instructions. I found the packaging material to be recyclable however still very poorly packaged on the inside. I’ve seen eggs packaged better. If you can find one then congrats. Just know that currently as of March the VRR isn’t working yet & will be fixed in a patch. Some TVs are having issues displaying HDR & 120 frames per second so research your TVs online.

    The Playstation 5 Sony best console ever. The user interface is very easy to use. Its fast and responsive. You can broadcast your gameplay a lot better than the Playstation 4. The system has some unique features that the Xbox one used in 2013. I enjoy the quick loading times and 60fps in majority of the games. It does a great job with current gen games by giving them performance boots to play at 60fps. Ghost of Tsushima is the best looking game from Playstation 4 and Playstation 5 with 60fps gameplay. Last but not least is the controller. Sony has done an excellent job with it. The haptics in the triggers feel great. Playing Call of Duty Cold War does give players a great experience. Every weopon feels different when you shoot it. The only down side is that it is not good for competitive multiplayer and the battery life is still not great but overall, it's excellent controller. I can wait for Playstation fan to get there hands on the system.

    This this is massive. Absolutely huge. That said, it's the new PlayStation and it's absolutely the best one. The controller is comfortable. The haptic feedback is awesome. Games take no time to load. PS4 games work on it. If you can find one, you'll be happy with it.

    Sony has knocked it out of the park with this next generation console. The load times are incredibly fast the graphics are very real and the best part for me is the dual sense controller . The adaptive triggers and the haptic feedback is what puts this console ahead of all others .

    Very happy how best buy handled it on launch day! Overall the console is great. Very fast. Controller is truly next gen. And games look amazing. I still find myself reaching for my phone whenever i die in a game expecting a loading screen but nope. That's something to get used too.

    Unique design... interesting controller!

    The console has a really unique design. It is also very large (larger than the original Xbox One). The controller feels very ergonomic and has a unique vibration system. You can feel the difference in materials that your character walks on in Astrobot (a free game pre-installed to the system!). At one point in Astrobot, my character turned into a spring and it actually felt like I was pressing a spring with the controller's triggers. I'm very excited to see where devs take this. My main complaint with the design is that there is piano gloss finish on the front. This wouldn't be much of an issue but there is a usb port in the center. This allow for the glossy finish to be scratched very easily. As much as I like piano gloss, I would have rather had a matte finish around the port. The UI is also great. It feels like they combined the best aspects of the PS4's interface. Overall, this is a very good console. I'm excited to see what devs do with it!

    The PS5 is truly an incredible console. The value for the cost is just simply unmatched in every regard. It manages to be: an improved PS4 Pro, a PS5 capable of playing gorgeous new games with unprecedented levels of graphical fidelity, and a 4K Blu-ray player all for one low cost of $500. Plus a dedicated controller with revolutionary new technology. The way the controller interacts by shaking, vibrating and sometimes even tapping at your hands with the powerful HD rumble, and the adaptive analog triggers that change sensitivity on the fly, just immerses you in the game more than ever before. Add this with the inclusion of a high speed SSD for near-instantaneous loading and... Wow. Stock for the console is low right now, which is to be expected of all console launches. But if/when you can get you one, GET YOU ONE. There are a plethora of new gaming experiences to be had with this beast over the coming years and I'm excited to see what's in store!

    Worth the quest to get one

    I was trying for about a month to land the new PS5 and was lucky enough to catch a Friday online restock here at Best Buy. It made me so happy. The system itself is well worth the hassle of trying to get one. Super fast, incredible graphics, and everything u would expect from the 5th iteration of the greatest game consoles ever made. I just with it had more storage. It’s severely lacking in that area and we have to wait until who knows when for the system update that will allow us to add more internal storage which of course will cost us a pretty penny as well. I have already had to purchase 2 external WD Black SSD portable drives for extra storage and those set me back another $350. But being able to play PS4 games directly from the external drives with no lag has been a godsend. Continue your quest to land a unit and it will happen. Best Buy has a tendency to restock online on Fridays so keep an eye out.

    Very frustrating pre-order process. Hitting refresh dozens of times and finally got lucky to get my order processed. Product is top notch. Premium build, lighting fast, and great controller. Console is the largest I've ever seen personally...have a space carved out for it.

    The Best Console You Can Buy. Period.

    This console is everything you could want, and then more. I’m mostly a PC guy, but I wanted a PS5 for more couch entertainment and for Sony exclusives. Let me tell you, this thing is worth every penny. I don’t even want to touch my PC for games anymore because it’s just more fun on the PS5. The controller is incredible and performance is on par with a higher-end desktop PC. Pros: - Up to 4K/120 and even 8K - Great UI that’s super fast and fluid - Really well built - Multiple USB-A and USB-C ports - User-replaceable M.2 SSD - Relatively easy to open for cleaning/upgrades Cons: - Really big. Like, really really big. - 10lbs for the disc version, so it’s heavy - The fans are pretty loud even when the system is just idling at the menu - The overall design is pretty obnoxious

    The graphics are awesome. I have had no issues with performance. Gets played daily. I am glad I was able to get the PS5, since they are now impossible to find at a regular price. I wish there were more PS5 games for this console and it had more storage.
