    As expected, the PS5 is absolutely amazing, quiet and fast! The graphics are out of this world. The design looks very modern and isn't clunky.

    Even better than the PS4...and I loved the PS4. I love the bold design Sony chose with the PS5. I have tried mounting it vertically and horizontally (it lets you do both with the provided mounting plate) and it just looks better vertically. When you first set up your PS5 it will prompt you to transfer data from your PS4 if you wish. Very easy to do, just follow the prompts. My ONLY negative with the PS5 is the obvious...getting one! I got lucky honestly. Best Buy was great with the curbside pickup option, very smooth process overall.

    If you have an investment with PlayStation

    If you have an investment with PlayStation, go for it. This console recognizes wifi 6 and has USBC input. It is the clear winner between the digital and disc (this one). If you have a working PS4 Pro however, you may not notice the difference between consoles other than their controllers. This new controller is practically the true first turn toward haptic feedback, however keep in mind that the battery takes a significant hit if you max the vibration. All around a great console.

    The PS5 is fast on most games I've tried and I really love the Dual sense controller over the xbsx one. Games, there still isn't many (like xbsx) but have that support ray tracing are beautiful. They are still hard to get, but don't fret. Just kind XBSX, wait maybe another year for more games to be out but if you're able to get on, you'll enjoy it

    It’s amazing. I had all but sworn off my XBox one and PS4 in favor of the Switch, but this brought me back. The dual sense controller is the most revolutionary controller since the wii-mote. It’s an absolute game changer. I purchased both the Series X & the PS5 and I ended up moving on from the Series X because of the lack of exclusives and there’s literally no reason to ever play a cross platform game on the series X. Things may change as Microsoft brings some exclusives, but right now the PS5 is head and shoulders better for me.

    First New Console on Launch Day

    This is my first time getting a next gen console within the first week of its launch. I’ve had the pleasure of playing all PlayStation Consoles, and appreciate the new UI. The controller feels great and I like the features it includes. Pair this console up with a 4K 120hz TV & The PS5 Pulse 3D Headset, and it is an amazing experience. Only cons is all features aren’t enabled straight away and we will have to wait for future updates for them to be enabled. Other than that if you can somehow get the Console for Retail I strongly recommend you do.

    Love the new PS5, great upgrade from my airplane of a PS4. Many new features, better quality. Still wish capacity was bigger with how big game downloads are.
