    Amazing gaming machine if you can find one. I do miss some you features from PS4. Controller is a huge improvement. Design wise I am not a fan but it is not too bad…just a bit weird.

    Super fast, whisper quiet, much improved controller. What else could you ask for from a next Gen console!? How about looks that are out of this world!? Yep that too! The best of the best consoles.

    I love this system. It's fast and fluid. but my favorite thing about this new generation console is the Duel sense controller. It feels great in the hand and adds a lot of immersion to some games.

    The system is great. Loading times are improved, and graphics for new games are amazing. Love the way the controller feels looks and performs. Sony really hit the mark with this system.

    Truly next gen

    A true generational leap forward. Not only in just the games themselves, but the hardware that comes with the system. The adaptive triggers on the control are truly next level. The immersion the hardware is able to create along with the software is something we haven’t seen in video games. The PlayStation five is truly pushing the envelope forward. From it’s interesting design choice, too it’s interesting color the PlayStation hits all the notes when it comes to next GEN. The only downside I will say that exist with this PlayStation, is the small storage capacity. Though I understand the limitation relative to the cost, it’s still has a bit of a nuisance.

    I love my PS5! (Digital Version)

    So glad I was finally able to purchase one. I ordered through the Best Buy app with no problems, and I picked it up from the store in less than a week. The console is great, and it's even better than I expected. I also loved being able to just plug in my old HDD to a USB port on the back, and all my PS4 games were ready to go with no download/install time. It's a lot bigger than the PS4, so I suggest checking out the dimensions so you'll know where it'll fit in your setup. The stand is easy to install. I have mine sitting vertically, but it goes on horizontally as well. Oh, I have the digital version, by the way.

    Beautiful games, super fast load times (if there are any), and a revolutionary controller. Loving it so far. Playing Spider-Man, Astro's Playroom, and my backlog of (now faster loading) PS4 games.

    Continuing the tradition of amazing gaming set by playstation one, Comes to playstation 5, Not the easiest system to find at least during the holiday rush, But now stock is easier to get than before. The graphics are awesome But to me the control pad and the control pad features are what steals the show Every moment that I've used this machine from playing games to watching movies to viewing videos on YouTube has brought a smile to my face and makes my heart skip a beat. To say this system is bloody awesome would be an understatement I highly recommend purchasing Don't be taken in by scalpingKeep following Best Buy's website and purchase retail trust me you'll be happy

    After literally trying every week since November 2020. I finally got my hands on the disc version of the PS5. I tried every other retailer, but had no success, but Best Buy came through when it mattered the most. Everyone who is still trying, you just have to keep trying until you eventually get one. Follow the FAQ's on how to get either system for different retailers, and also have a decent internet connection too. Eventually these will be available here more often in the next coming year. The reason there hasn't been any available is the lack of supplies and components to make these systems, along with other computer parts. Just be patient and keep trying.

    Believe the hype. The PS5 delivers. From console design to controller no detail has been spared before you even load a game, and they load fast and look amazing.

    What a machine. Everything loads very quickly. COD in 120 FPS mode is awesome. I am probably getting extra elims just for that feature alone. lol. The user interface is really nice and streamlined and I like the updated menus and you do not have to exit a game to access information. Only con would be the you cannot yet add an internal hard drive, so will have to settle for the USB for that. All ps4 games load way faster. Also if you have PS+ they have so many free games to download, FOR FREE. really good selection of AAA games like God of war, Final Fanasty IV, Monster Hunter World, Last of us. All running better than ps4/pro. Get it if you can get it is all I have to say.
