    Excellent power, speed, and graphics. This device definitely lives up to the hype. No glitches or bugs experienced, so far. Just needs more games to further explore the power of this gem. 2021 should provide even more upside for the PS 5.

    My review is going to be biased because I’ve been a PlayStation user from the the start. I love the fast load times, the game line up for 2022 is going to be fire. the graphics are amazing with a supporting tv.

    I’m probably not the only one who’s this excited about the PlayStation 5. And I’m sure a lot of you are anxious to own this bad boy and I gotta say once you get it, it’ll be worth the wait I promise you. I’m just so happy to finally get rid of my PlayStation 4 because im sure that a lot of you know how loud that thing was. But the PS5 is nothing like that. the most quietest console I’ve ever owned!!! The best part about owning this system is that, you don’t really need your PlayStation 4 because the ps4 is literally integrated into the PlayStation 5. You can download all your digital games for ps4 it’s literally right there in your library next to all your ps5 games you’ve purchased.

    Great console. Would recommend 100%... if there were more games. You can only play PS4 games as of now and I have no doubt Sony will release great first party games like last generation, but right now there's only like 2 killer apps for the PS5: Demon's Souls and Spider-Man Miles Morales... both of which aren't that great (right now). Demon's Souls Remake is GREAT but it's a remaster of a PS3 games... not much of a system seller unless you're a HUGE Souls fan like me. Miles Morales is also a great game but it's such a short game it's hard to recommend the price of a console for it. Bought this digital one for my nephew since he's going digital only going forward. WE'll see how much of a nuisance the storage is in the future once he fills it up and if storage will be an issue or his ISP's download speed

    I feel like I struck gold even being able to get one, still not sure how i did. So far its a very impressive machine, runs silky smooth and as fast as ever. The graphics are stunning to see. Just wish others could get one easier.

    extremely happy i was able to get this as a super late xmas present for my son!!! easy to setup, graphics are gorgeous....the system itself has more of a modern arsty design so vs your regular electronic items that are more boxy.

    Sony has done it again. Amazing Color and graphics as well as Fast loading gives you the best play experience. Controls are comfortable, look really nice and give you options never seen before on previous controllers. A total must have.

    Pretty much what you are expecting. Objectively, the controller is definitely an improvement over previous dual-shocks. Plays the games you want including exclusives. Only knock on it is the size relative to other AV equipment components

    Great console so far. Long time PS fan. I probably have about 50 hours of play with it so far and I haven't faced any of the normal issues I have heard about. It's quiet, snappy and a nice upgrade from the ps4 pro. The haptic feedback on the controller is something to experience. After gaming for over 20 years it's a sensation I have never felt in a controller before. It's awesome. I do have an issue that I have not seen much about on the internet, but my DualSense controller has developed an issue with the right stick. It doesn't feel like stick drift but, occasionally my aim will go straight up instantly, even when barely touching the stick. I called sony and they are having me send the controller in for repair or replacement. I plan on buying another controller anyway to always have one charged and wireless.

    Noticeable upgrade from PS4 Pro

    Coming from someone who had a PS4 Pro and questioned if there would be a noticeable difference... there is. It's not like the jump from a PS3 to PS4, but in 4k when you're running Cyberpunk 2077 or God of War, you notice the difference in smoothness and frame rates. Especially after hearing about the new gen PSVR coming to PS5, I'm excited to see what the developers can do in the coming years. I'll also add that if you're frustrated you can't get it (I feel you, I've tried checking stock 1-2 times a day since 11/12/20 and finally got lucky)... don't feel like you're missing out on much content. There's HARDLY any games out yet that are worth buying and I'm more enjoying seeing my God of War's, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Call of Duty looking more realistic. That's about it as of 02/2021.

    Nightmare to try to get a hold of these consoles currently, however it is worth the frustration. The whole family has been enjoying the new console. Overall size was surprisingly large but I suppose that’s what it takes for the graphics.

    Great console, fast loading and great graphics. In game graphics are about as good as they can get, it’s the cinematics and extras that make this experience better than just better graphics.

    This Console is very bad, it has ruined my social life, school, job and so much more. I can’t keep my hands off the controller. I absolutely love it! Best purchase of the year!! And paired with the right TV it looks absolutely amazing.

    Let me tell you this console made me become a man I thought I had it all with a ps4 pro and a Xbox series X but that is what a child would say if they haven’t experienced a dual sense controller and the graphics of the PS5! HALO “THEME”

    This gen is all about SSD. Lighting fast loading. Graphic is not very impressive so far tbh compare to lat gen. But maybe it's too early to tell. Let's see if Sony and other developers will bring some surprising titles to prove me wrong.

    So pumped to get one and I see why it is such a popular holiday item. The unit itself is surprisingly very big, but it runs quiet and appears well put together. Not much more to say... it sufficiently brings gaming into the 4K world!
