    Easy to set up and navigate. Love the gaming options with GamePass. Cheaper than the X but still gives the Next Gen experience!

    For anyone still a year out of next-gen gaming and still not able to get a next-gen console, then this is the one to get. I got this as a second console to my Series X and to have in a lower resolution TV. The gameplay is flawless, obviously, if you plug it into a 4K TV or monitor, your gameplay will not be the same as a Series X. But this paired with Game Pass is going to keep you busy for days.

    Every good system. Not as good as the X, but every close be hide. In some instances it beats the X in loading times or handles some games a little better.

    I can understand some ppl wanting the X, but it never crossed my mind and I’ve loved every second with the S. Impressed so far but that said I haven’t been stressing it out or anything, only casually playing as I’ll continue to do lol.

    I have no plans to upgrade my HD 1080 TV anytime soon..The Series S is exactly what I need and perfect price entry point. I don't need to upgrade my TV! I get just enough power and speed with the S. And I get to play flight simulator too!

    Great option if wanting a next gen console. Like this form factor compared to the X series because you can get a screen for this from a 3rd party and I can travel everywhere with it!

    Bought this as an upgrade from a xbox one S. This is much faster and displays better graphics, but what stood out above anything else is the load time. You can jump right in to your favorite game much faster the the 1S could even boot. It does have a few issues, mostly connectivity with the controller and glitches (expected with a new generation. And in case you were wondering, we don't really miss the lack of a disk drive.

    Well... I have been playing for one week now. I tried several games like Godfall (i would rate 4/10), Spider-Man Remastered (10/10 so far), Astro Bots (I'm an playstation fan for over 25 year now - so... 10/10!), God of War PS+ collection (10/10 - even it's only 30fps) and many other games I owned before: CoD Warzone, Battlefield 5, Rainbow Six Siege, No Mans Sky, Destiny 2, Madden NFL, GTA online. All in all I'm very impressed by the smoothness of the PS5 UI. Everything works more fluently and faster. It's very easy and fast to create and join parties! And I really love the new controller as it is a bit bigger, fitting perfect in my hands. I really love the adaptive triggers, as they for example simulates the tension of spider-mans webs when web-swinging through new york! That's awesome!

    Ready set up. Great price point. Do be aware that storage is light of you're loading optimized for 5th gen games but add-on storage is available and any digital game remains in your library for re-download if you backed it off your machine.

    For the price and paired with ultimate game pass you can't beat it. Only con is the memory size. Can only store about 3-4 games. Gotta delete when you want to download another game.
