Sony - PlayStation 5 Console

It was quite difficult to pre-order the PS5, but I truly lucked out because even with all the restocks certain retailers have had... it is still unbelievably hard to place the order. I hope anyone that still wants one gets one soon because it really is unfair that the gamers aren't able to land one whilst scalpers have thousands. The PS5 has run beautifully and so intelligently from what I've experienced. The set up was of course easy and fast. The new UI is smooth and I definitely like it more than the old one on the PS4. The Dualsense Controller is AMAZING. It is probably the next best thing (only second to the console itself) with the way it works. It's not as slippery like the Dualshock and feels great in hand. Even after hours of gaming, I did not feel any fatigue in my hands. The battery life is probably similar to its predecessor. Overall, the console runs very smoothly and I have not experienced any sort of loudness with it. I do recommend when playing games, to choose performance over the resolution. You will absolutely get a higher FPS and I think it just runs a lot better that way. Would highly recommend this to anyone that wants to experience next gen even though we've just merely begun to play those games.

Overall the PS5 is great. Games run at a steady frame rate, load times are basically instantaneous and the controller is something you really have to feel for yourself to understand how immersive it makes the experience. However, there is an issue with most, if not all launch models including mine. If you have an external storage device hooked up to the console and a disc inserted the console says "unsupported disc". You then have to either disconnect the external storage device or simply open another game and close out for that disc to be read. It's probably the worst issue Sony could have given that the PS5 only has 600 something GB of storage after the OS is installed to begin with. If it's a firmware issue it can be patched but if this is a hardware issue then there are going to be a lot of recalled PS5 consoles. There are a lot of people trying to get ahold of these right now but with this issue it wouldn't be a bad idea to wait a few months until it's resolved. In all I'm giving it 5 stars because it really is an amazing console, I just hope they can can fix the external storage bug with an update.

An actual buyer here!!! The console has been great. No issues so far (Crosses fingers). No glitches (like many who don’t work in the tech field claim). I’ve tried plenty of PS4 games and they all work normal. I have Spiderman, 2K, COD and Valhalla and they are all good games. The adaptive triggers on the controller definitely stand out as a highlight. I turn them off for multiplayer in COD because they can be a distraction. I’m sure the Xbox has some benefits, but I’m sticking with Sony. Hope everyone is able to get the console they want.

The PS5 is hands down the best gaming console to ever hit the market. The graphics of the PS5 are breath taking. You can see fine details and shadows and contrasts like never before on PlayStation products. The system is so FAST also! No long waits for a game to load up. The new controller is fantastic and really feels extremely high quality in the hands. My girlfriend can not stop playing Assasins Creed Valhalla on tbe PS5! She loves it! I would 100% recommended the PlayStation PS5 console to anyone. The only thing we had to do that was slightly abnormal was put the PS5 behind our TV so it could stay as cool and get as much air as possible. You don’t want to run your PS5 and restrict air flow.

Best Buy did a great job with pain free purchase on an item that was very hard to find anywhere else. Everything about this purchase was excellent. It was my first time doing curbside pickup and it was great. I was literally in the parking lot less then 10 minutes. The woman who came out with it was so nice. This was a late Christmas present for my 15 year old. He loves it! He says it has lightning fast loading speeds. Graphics are gorgeous. You can play old games as well as new. The controls are awesome! No complaints. We did buy an extra control so two can play. Or one to charge while one is in use. And be patient with set up. It took us at least and hour to set up, because of our internet download speeds. But no delays while playing.

CONSOLE: -Size: Pretty bulky but was fortunate enough to fit it in a shelf -Weight: does it even matter? -UI/ UX: Feels really smooth and fast. Havent used the card system too much apart from Astro Boy and its amazing to directly jump to a level from home screen in a few seconds. -PS4 games: like TLOU2/ GOW/ HZD all feel awesome to play on the PS5 with patches and what not. -PS5 games: like miles morales/ astro boy/ destruction all stars feel good, especially the controller and the 60 fps is soooo good. CONTROLLER: -Weight: its pretty much the same as the PS4 controller -Size: same size as an xbox one controller. So Awesome!!! -Button travel and feel: great, button presses feel like the xbox controller. -Adaptive trigger: feel so good and weird at first but you get used to it pretty soon. destruction all stars and astro boy feel awesome and give a hint on how the next exclusives are gonna feel. -battery life: great when playing PS4 games. 4-5 hours when I played the astro boy which is pretty heavy on the usage of the controller tricks.

After months of trying I finally secured the PS5. The system is huge I prefer laying it down vertically. It’s clean and everything runs smoothly. Graphics are amazing with the new SpiderMan game. Setup was easy and transferring games from the PS4 went fast. Good luck to everyone still searching for one..

It's great! The system is REALLY fast.. like I'm already feeling spoiled by the lack of loading time. Anything that takes more than 5 seconds is making me impatient nowadays. lol The controller is pretty cool, but I think it gets raved about a bit excessively in the reviews I've come across. To me, the actual 'rumble' effect has decreased from past models. Now the trackpad and button sensitivity is elite! The actual console is really large. My first thought after hooking it up to my TV is that I need a new TV. It made my 40' screen look small. I admit a 40' screen isn't huge, but next to this behemoth of a system it just looks tiny. lol - I used the vertical stand, but you can also set it horizontally. You will still need the same stand, just set up from a different angle. Lastly, if you have a PS4, keep it connected to your TV until you complete the initial installation process for your PS5. They will give you the option to transfer your PS4 data over (they even let you choose what to transfer and what not to). So far it's been a pretty smooth transition with my PS5. I've only played a few games, They are still making adjustments and improvements through updates, and likely will continue to do so throughout the duration of this generation. Oh! and almost forgot! As a PS+ member, it also came with 20 classic PS4 games available for free download! Completely unexpected to me! I already owned a few and added the rest to my library. I haven't downloaded any yet, but it was a nice surprise bonus!
