    Got this for a friend has I have the digital version. We both play mainly on PC, but it's a great console. Graphics are good and the SSD is super nice, as well as the option to add an m.2 drive.

    Finally landed a console in Best Buy after a few months of trying. Curbside pickup and smooth and hassle free. Great loading speed compared to our PS4 and the graphics are amazing. So far so good with no issues.

    I adore my ps5. Yes it’s incredibly hard to get, but the graphics are outstanding. The speed of which games load up are unreal. And the library of games will keep you occupied for a long time.

    Absolutely amazing! In my opinion it’s the biggest jump between consoles EVER. Of course the graphics are better, they always are. But the PS5 runs so much smoother then the PS4 as well. Everything about it is beautiful

    Bought one for a bud . It’s the best place to buy it . So they ain’t cappin with the name . Best Buy . I will definitely buy the Xbox series x later when it goes on sale because I’m not the biggest fan . God of war is coming to PlayStation also . Assassins creed is amazing and I’m 6% in . I hope everyone bought their systems before Christmas. The PlayStation 5 controller is amazing and I hope they have new colors coming soon because I’m not a fan of sharing controllers and it’s hard to know who’s controller it is because they looks the same . I have to leave mine in my couch to make sure no one touches it .

    So happy that I was able to finally snag a PlayStation 5. The load time are very fast and the controller is unbelievable. Not a lot of games at this time but great for Fortnite and COD. Amazing graphics and FPS.

    Yes I was lucky enough to get one and actually opened and played it. It's an amazing piece of tech, the dualshock controller is amazing and the quick resume load times is the biggest game changer. that said my experience hasn't been flawless, a few hard crashes and after 6-8 hours of Miles Morales I has some series frame rate drops and even in performance mode. Yes this is a launch console, it'll be patched and improved but more a caution than anything. If you see one available for a good price, buy it and play it.

    Pure Bliss! The design feels weird for the first few minutes but then you suddenly start to love it. The performance is nothing short of incredible! If you do manage to get one during the drops you will love it.

    Great gaming console. Definitely recommend if you can find one. Sony exclusives typically rate very high and PS5 enhances many exclusives from PS4 era. PS5’s SSD can really make this console feel next gen.

    Easy purchasing process. Most powerful PlayStation to date and the games run smooth on OLED @ 120hz. Only issue is lack of disk space. I’m already at the limit. Waiting for Sony to unlock the additional space.

    While I am definitely lucky in how I was able to snag one of these at launch I will say that it was worth the hours of dealing with the site being unable to keep up with demand. The disc drive is annoying, but everything else functions as it should! I had an issue with moving the PS5 horizontally after clipping the plate on, but was able to snag it back on after. While I dislike the design, I pray that they sell interchangeable plates later on. There’s a lot yet to come that I’m upset aren’t there at launch, but I’m hopeful that it will continue to impress me Ultimately it’s very worth it at the price it was given and I think it’s also worth the wait to find it in stock. (Also Wario64 on Twitter is very up to date on stock for it and other items)

    I can’t say enough, this is a gaming masterpiece. Even my PS4 games are much more enjoyable on the PS5. The controller is unbelievable when paired with games built for it. The haptic feedback feels so realistic.
