    Best of luck on getting one of these in the future months! Been playing it nonstop since it was delivered and have not encountered any hardware issues so that's a definite plus. Mostly played PS4 games such as GoT and the PS5 fan almost never reaches very audible levels.

    Had to wait about an hour and a half for curbside pickup, but was understandable due to the amount of people there. Still wayyyyy better than paying 3 or 4 times the retail price to a scalper. As for the Ps5 itself it works fine, albeit sounds like a jet engine at times.

    New system. New generation. The PS5 is hard to come by item at the current time. However, it is worth it. You are able to play a large amount of PS4 games on it, which is a great thing. Past generations and backwards compatibility has been a disappointment. There are some things that are missing such as themes. Which I'm sure at a given point it will be released, but I sure do miss my Persona 5 theme. Another issue will feel like there are a lack of games, which for the most part is true. You can buy a PS4 game, and most of them are upgraded for free for the PS5. Just make sure to double check before purchasing a game.

    Hubs loves it, even tho he is traditionally an xbox man. It is enormous and very ugly but has fantastic gameplay and resolution. It's also incredibly loud, sounds like Vader is in the room. Not a well-built or designed piece but the guts are obviously solid.

    Love this console! Haven't had a PlayStation console since the 2, so i missed out on the 3 and 4, extremely glad i can still play mostly all titles from the 4 since there were alot of hits on that decade. I also didnt have to pay aftermarket prices. Cheers!

    I absolutely love the new lady in my life. And her name is PS5. She never complains. She never gets heated when I mess with her too much. Sure sometimes she still turns off some of my games but that’s not all on her. I’m thinking of asking her to marry me. Wish me luck.

    Best PlayStation to come out this far, wish they had more games for it but the overall experience for the games that are out for it now is phenomenal. The kids love it, the wife loves, hell even the dog likes it! Overall would buy again. Get one now.

    The Playstation 5 is huge! Make sure you have space for it. The only thing that I wished they had put on the console is a Audio out put for 3rd party headphones

    It took me a long time to actually get the PS5 due to it selling out so quickly. Once I ordered it though it came a few days quicker than expected and the staff at Best Buy were very helpful when I arrived. I love the PS5! The adaptive controller is my favorite.

    The loading times are cut to almost nothing, meaning your old and new titles are ready for you to play almost instantaneously. Next gen console wars winner no doubts. And this is just the beginning, can't wait to see what the next gen VR system has in store for us.

    I gave this to a friend, so my review is only second-hand but he likes the thing. The only issue is PS5s don’t work well with a lot of Samsung TVs for some reason apparently? I dunno what that’s about but aside from that I’ve only heard good things.

    The newest greatest generation of gaming! I love the PS5 don't get me wrong and can't wait for some more titles to come out for it, new and ported, but the online store system needs to be opened up to competition. If they let BestBuy and even other competitors sell online instant copies of the games we would see prices everywhere including the PSStore drop for digital copies. Some titles are $20-30 cheaper at BestBuy and others for a hard disc copy. So that does need to be worked on if Sony wants this to take off and be a true better value against the disc but other than that great system!

    This is indeed the next gen. Anyone saying otherwise hasn't lived in just Console land and has been on the PC Tier level for too long to notice. This is next gen. Get a 4k 120hz tv and sit back and enjoy. This generation is going to be one hell of a ride for Video Games!

    I had been looking everyone for a PlayStation 5. It was an excellent purchase, I knew I wanted to buy the console from Best Buy because of the trust I have towards Best Buy. If you have the opportunity buy the consoles from Best Buy

    Its hard to go fully digital with a console. But the Playstation 5 makes it easy. Easily another favorite to game on and the controller is absolutely ground breaking.

    Great system. Amazing graphics and gameplay so far. The only two issues I face are a slightly noisy cooling fan and short battery life of the controllers.
