Q: What makes them think they have the right to say you can get 120fps when it is impossible in HDMI? Only wire that can support true 120fps is a Display Port. And PS5 only has HDMI. Max frames you'll get is 60. Don't believe me? Look it up...

A: LISTEN, he meant your TV not PS5. You can't edit or delete your questions on here which I think is not right, but let me state some facts... I own a PS5 and I have made 3 YouTube videos that proves the PS5 will not go over 60fps and in some cases just over 30fps if you don't have a TV that supports HDMI 2.1 Over 90% of TV's don't have this tech, so if you think for one second you're getting the best frames and picture you better go do some more research. I repeat: If you don't have a TV that supports 2.1 you can kiss your dreams goodbye if you think you'll get 120fps in 4K. Only a couple TV's out there support 2.1 and I bet anything most of you don't own them. Here's the deal... If you have a couple thousand dollars and some cost over five thousand, then you can purchase one. Otherwise stop trying to make fun of someone just because you are unhappy with yourself. Kind of bad knowing you own a PS5 and can't see what it can really do..... Name calling and thinking you're better than someone only proves you have no integrity. Now go back to playing your PS4 because a new TV and PS5 is something you can't afford..

Q: When can start to pre-order the PlayStation 5 Today

A: Will, there be other availability dates

Q: Can someone tell me the difference between the digital version and the regular PS5 please? I know it’s $100 cheaper.

A: The digital one does not have a Disc lector. Thats why it costs 399.

Q: I’ve been trying to check out for a few hours. Just give up?

A: That's what I did. Got frustrating. Made it all the way to the final step of confirming payment only to realize that the console was deleted by BestBuy to get me to this step. I had the worst pre-order experience with Best Buy and will likely not shop for games... here again.

Q: What is the difference between PS5 console for 499$ vs PS5 edition console for 399$? Thanks

A: The standard PS5 ($499) can play game and movie discs in addition to downloads, while the digital one ($399) can only play downloaded titles.

Q: Is there a second round of PS5s coming or should I just give up?

A: Never give up hope. If you keep an eye on the situation, an opportunity will present itself and what you seek will be yours.

Q: can anyone confirm the pre orders where actually live? I got the email and still could not pre order. judging by the comments going back more 4 hrs I dont think they where actually live.

A: They were live, and the website couldn't handle it. I had one in my cart, chosen my store, and entered payment info. Website crashed. I sit here this morning with no PS5 ordered.

Q: Hello I would just like to know if I'm required to pay a down payment when I preorder the PlayStation 5? and also when will my money be taken out for the PlayStation?

A: I preordered it and I had to pay in full to complete the order. The only other option I saw was to apply for the Best Buy credit card.

Excellent, Not Perfect
Coming from a PS4, I love the faster load times. I appreciate the backwards compatibility. I’ve got all my PS4 games stored on an external 8 terabyte usb drive, and everything loads and plays at least as well as on the built in drive on the PS4. The new controller feels good in hand, and is a nice upgrade from the DualShock controllers. The biggest downsides are the difficulty in finding a PS5 to actually purchase, the limited number of new titles that truly take advantage of the new console’s processing power and graphics capabilities, and the ridiculously small internal solid state drive. PS5 games have to be played off of the internal drive, and it fills up quickly. It helps that you can transfer games back and forth between external and internal storage, but it’s still far from ideal, and while the PS5 comes with an internal expansion bay for another, hopefully much larger, SSD, it’s not yet activated, and approved drives are not yet available. Also, subjectIve, but the stormtrooper look does nothing for me, so it hides, and takes up a lot of space on its side in an A/V cabinet. It’s not perfect, but considering the reality of the chip shortage and other pandemic related supply chain challenges in a time of huge demand, it’s still a solid 5 star console.

happy days
Going over hardware and software. Not going over the every exact technical specs as you can easily look that up. Software can change overtime, this is review of software at launch. If any hardware hiccups or failures in near future I'll update this review --Hardware: Physical: Looks futuristic yet tacky. In my personal opinion, looks doesn't really matter as long it can play next gen games well Large console. Standing up it's the tallest home video console. A lot of air-vents throughout making it aerodynamic, cool, quiet, and does not overheat or get hot with consecutive gameplay hours. This may change in the future if games require more performance out of the system, with similar fate like the PS4 where it was whisper quiet in beginning and became louder over the years with more graphical intensive games. Has LED lights giving it a PC look (?) Face plate easy to take out for future customization options (?). 667of 820gb of free download space in console Swapping SDD is not as easy as Xbox Series X (with it's plug and play method) as you have to remove some screws. Upside is that it's standard and not a propriety SDD. PS5 is compatible with most PS4 games. If you have an external SDD from PS4 it's just plug and transfer to PS5 internal storage Comes with stand. Console is not entirely flat, so stand is required for horizontal position. You have console in vertical position without stand, but does not have grip (rubber feet) so may slide if bumped into or during an earthquake Front of console: USB-C, USB-A, power, and eject button Back of console: Two USB-A (Super Speed), LAN port, HDMI, and power port Wished it had more USB-C ports to be future proof, but guess they kept USB-A for some current accessories to be backwards compatible. Disappointed the PS5 official 3D pulse headset and camera uses USB-A. Also no optical audio port means i can't use some of my surround sound headsets. Load times for PS5 games are instantaneous. Ps4 games will load much faster, even without optimized patch. Ps5 have ray tracing giving games realistic lighting effects -Controller: Console comes with one controller Physically larger than past DuelShock controllers. Great for those with adult sized hands Great tech demo included with 'Astro's Playroom'. Haptic feedback. Similar to Nintendo Switch HD rumble, but more apparent. Not sure if developers will implement in future their games. Even with Nintendo first party; only '1-2 Switch' and 'Mario Party' from what I recall used HD rumble at great extent and it dropped off after that. Adaptive triggers. Will feel resistance/push back on triggers if developers implement it in game. Hope both Haptic feedback and Adaptive triggers say the entire lifespan and transfer to PS6 instead of dropping off like the six axis on PS3 and light bar in PS4 Has built in mic. Sound quality is similar to current smart phone on speaker. Has mute button Similar to PS4, it has speaker and touch pad. Touch pad is more sensitive this time around About double battery life of Ps4 controller. Able to get in 10 consecutive hours Wished it came with back paddle buttons. Hopefully they release a DualSense Back Button Attachment like they did the DualShock 4 You can play PS4 games with DualShock 4 or DualSense . PS5 games only can be played with DualSense --Software UI, OS is the similar to PS4 with scrolling apps/games (left, right, up, down) There's an activity row where you can track your progress on games Other rows are News and PSN store There are notifications popups, but you can turn on 'Do Not Disturb' mode Similar to phone's swipe down tool bar for basic profile (trophy list, avatar, user info,etc), accessibility options, sound, Game Base, internet wifi select, controllers (see connected controllers), etc on home screen for easy access. 'Game Base' section is where you make party with friends and chat with them, view friend requests. Share button this time around will pull up menu to take snap shot, record video, or save video previously played game session for up to 60mins There's an 'Your Accolades' feature where you give props to other players. Reminds me of how to give endorsements (Sportsmanship, Good Teammate, Shot Caller) in Overwatch to encourage positivity in online community. For PS5 has Helpful, Welcoming, and Good Sport There are accessibility options/preferences you can setup that transfers to your games There's a 'Switcher' option where you can change games on the fly, but unlike the Xbox Series X's 'quick resume' does not leave where you left off, and will boot you back to the home screen of that game Picture-in-picture mode if you want friends to help show you how to get through levels PS4 games load faster on PS5 if downloaded to SSD. Graphical upgrade depends on publisher if they implement a 'PS5 upgrade" patch -For PS5 trophies. Trophies that have collectables there is a progress bar showing how much left to collect. There are also tutorial videos for some games that implement it. Some trophies once selected will drop you into the level/section where you can obtain the trophy. Again depends on game developer if they implement it. PS4 trophies on PS5 act the same Base price for games are $70 ($10 more than last gen); Excluding Special/Collector's editions, DLC, micro-transactions, loot crates, and surprise mechanics Overall, aside from some odd design choices very capable next gen system. There are some features especially on the controller that developers have to utilize and may not be present in all games. If anything like the PS3 and PS4, going to have thousands of gameplay hours on this system

Truly a next generation system!
This is a fantastic device! As a whole, it is definitely worthy of being next gen. Graphics are a tad sharper than the PS4 Pro, but it’s frame rates and load times that are really impressive, the real centerpiece tech for this device is the controller. I’m absolutely mesmerized by how transcendent it takes gaming. FEELING raindrops in a game is phenomenal! Feeling the change in footsteps as you walk from stone to mud. Just brilliant. This easily feels like the new experience one expects from a new generation of gaming. The system is huge. It really doesn’t fit in most entertainment shelves. It’s super quiet. I have about 50 PS4 games on a external hd. So far, everything plays fantastically. My wife, who usually rolls her eyes at my purchases, really enjoys playing the ps5. Highly recommend getting a charging dock and a second controller. Makes life much more simple. Props to Best Buy for making it so easy to get the system. Took 5minutes from walking into the store til I was in the parking lot and heading home.
