    Nice system overall. Happy with the speed and how it enhances old ps4 games. 4k visuals look crisp. Just too big and difficult to move around your media center.

    This console is amazing. Not even comparable to the the ps4 or the ps4 pro. The PS5 is seriously a game changer the graphics and the super fast SSD. Loading into games is a breeze.

    Great Console

    I absolutely love this console, the versatility of this system is above par compared to my old PS4 slim, the fact that I can play any game that I previously owned on my PS4 as a digital copy is amazing. Despite that there is very few games currently made for PS5 I still am able to play all of my previous favorites on this system, the few PS5 titles that I do have look tremendous even on my out to date TV and run even better. The DuelShock 5, while at first I didn't really care for the adaptive triggers and the updated haptics they have started to grow on me especially after I have switched back and forth from DuelShock 4 to 5.

    So this review is after having my PS5 for two years now. It’s a great upgrade coming from Xbox or any PS4. Unfortunately it’s two years later and you still can’t just pick one up. If you do manage to find and get one I would strongly suggest buying a USB type C external SSD for all your digital PS4 games and leave the internal drive just for PS5 games. Box might say 8XXGB but really you only get 6XXGB of storage. Or if you have money after two years just buy a Gen4 M.2 SSD for the internal M.2 expansion slot.

    This is my first PlayStation I have ever owned. I’ve had Xbox for the past 18 years and decided to switch it up and couldn’t be happier. This controller is a game changer. The adaptive triggers, speakers and motion sensors on the controller are really impressive. I don’t mind having the digital edition since I don’t have any PS4 games and don’t really watch blu-rays anymore. The storage is not an issue on this thing, I have 8 PS4 games downloaded and it handles it with no problem. Plus you could always buy an external hard drive if needed. Overall I am extremely happy with this purchase and would highly recommend.

    Worth the effort. Although I dislike the lack of availability (took months to get one), it is one amazing machine. Big and beastly, but fast and quiet.

    A generational leap

    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. Also the added benefit of the optical disk Drive to watch 4K movies is a must for anybody who doesn’t already own a dedicated Blu-ray drive.

    Solid gaming console system. While it does lack a disc drive, there's no other difference that would make its performance less worthy than the disc version.

    The good: + Fast loading times + Haptic feedback is kind of interesting + Astro's playroom (the pre-installed game) is fun for a while + Quieter than PS4 The bad: - Not backwards compatible with PS3 games. (So, I can't play Okami HD anymore) The ugly: - The console itself is literally ugly IMO. I like the way XBoxes look. - There's not any must-have games out right now, unless you're into Demon Souls (which I am not).

    The system is hard to get but runs so much better than previous generations. Also online game load times are much better. Best oart is the controller.
