    Next gen of gaming is here. Games look fantastic and the system is super fast. The controller features are worth the hype and PlayStation is my favorite place to play. The headache of actually getting one is super worth it.

    My dad got this off of my account because they were all sold out on his but not mine , and at the time PS5’s were sold out everywhere so we had to take advantage of that moment. Highly recommend getting Consoles from Best Buy

    I was lucky to be able to get one. The PS5 is awesome. The graphics on Spiderman are unbelievable. Loading time are minimal and makes gaming more enjoyable. The controller is awesome, the Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers are amazing.

    Super fast, best console out there. It loads games in seconds and looks amazing. Don’t even get me started on the controller you can fell anything you imagine such as felling the rain when it rains or when you walk in the grass.

    Don't get left behind with the old consoles. If you're on the edge between the Xbox or a Playstation come to the dark side and join the Sony family. You will nkt regret your decision!

    I’ve only played two PS5 games so far (Astros Playroom which is the “default” game to get you familiar with everything the controller can do, and Demon’s Souls). But man, are they amazing. The graphics and sound are both incredible. And the various types of interactions you can have with the controller are really fun and I’m excited to see how game developers will be able to build around these capabilities going forward. I was pleased with how easy it was to move over my games from PS4 as well. The setup guide walked me through everything and I was able to be back playing Nioh 2 shortly after getting everything set up. Overall the upgrade process was seamless, the graphics and sound are amazing, and the controller has a bright future. If you can get one I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

    I’m a huge Xbox fan boy but after getting a ps5 I might full switch to PlayStation. It runs great on my 4k tv. The games are smooth and look amazing. it’s kind big but it’s a great console over all!

    SSD Is the Game Changer

    SSD makes a huge difference. I used to wait minutes to load a portion of the game and now it's just seconds. While the jump in graphics is not much, it is a very powerful machine. I can't wait for new games to come out in 2021.

    I’m impressed by ps5 and what it offers. it’s worth upgrading to the disk version if you want to watch blu rays and having physical copies of the game. Pros: -great performance/picture -plays both ps4 and ps5 games - has disk drive to play blu rays -console stays cool and mostly quiet compared to ps4. Cons: -Newly released consoles initially come with some technical issues such as crashing/freezing that hopefully updates will fix. -Storage is ridiculously small...so you’ll have to buy an expansion drive. -Disk drive can be a bit loud.

    King of consoles, the SSD makes this thing load games blazingly quick, and everything runs smooth and looks fantastic. I'd suggest getting an additional SSD for storage. The built-in store fills up pretty fast.

    Great console! Really enjoy the upgraded graphics and speeds of next gen. Games load faster and the 60 fps boost makes it hard to ever go back to last gen. The dual sense controller is very unique in its vibrations too!

    Great start to the new generation very easy to set up. Much quieter than the ps4. If I had to complain about anything it'd be the small amount of storage not a huge problem now but will be soon if we don't get expandable storage options

    Already feels like the next level of gaming

    Just. Amazing. The controller is the star of the show here. Astros Playground (free game included with all PS5 systems) will show you just how much these various types of rumble and tension features changes the game. Stepping on glass, rolling through gravel, rain falling, traversing through sand, running on metal, etc ALL FEEL DIFFERENT and accurate. It's hard to explain, but it's just next level. Controller also comes with a mic built in and a speaker, so it's usable to chat with friends if you don't have a headset at the moment. The mic sounds really good, pretty impressive actually, but the speaker could have been better/louder. Framrate and load times on older (PS4) games are awesome too. A lot of games are coming out with free ps5 upgrades that allow you to take advantage of 4k and 120/60 fps.

    Incredible graphics & speed. Definitely difficult to get but got lucky. My biggest complaint is amount of storage space for games. Hope Sony has plans for adding more. Until then, I’ll continue running Samsung 1T external SSD.

    I have waited soooo long for this console to drop and it was well worth it. Amazing graphics, fast loading speed, and a gorgeous looking machine in your TV stand. The Dualsense controller is on another level of futuristic technology.

    This console adds so much to my theater setup, it is effectively the center piece of my tv stand. It is fast, and most of all fun to play. The only downside is the storage capacity, at 825GB, less than that usable, you will definitely need extra storage

    PS5 is definitely worth the wait. The graphics are much improved. The speed is ridiculous in comparison to the PS4 Pro. Load times unbelievably faster. The dread update times are much quicker.
