Sony - PlayStation 5 Digital Edition Console

Honestly, what do you expect? It's next-gen. The console itself to begin with looks like some type of alien object that's casually placed in your living room. The controller is fantastic, much bigger so it can grip in my hands properly now. I always liked the PS4 controller but now holding this I can see how much less of a controller it is compared to the PS5's. Lastly, you honestly won't get the full next-gen experience​ until HDMI 2.1 4k monitors come out that runs over 120hz. So if money is a little tight I​ would wait till it dies down. Not worth paying over retail for this console. So if you were thinking of buying it from those scalpers don't.

Best Buy is the way to go to avoid scalpers. Just be patient and wait for it to be added to the cart. The button will turn yellow. I promise. Once it’s in the cart it’s yours. I love my new system, the data saved on my Seagate drive, with all my PS4 data crossed over in seconds, only the new PS5 games bought with cross gen had to download. PlayStation 5 is awesome, can’t wait for grand Tourismo to drop. The pics I used are from my Xbox X order, process was the same. Good luck y’all

I never do reviews on stuff I buy but I felt like I needed to do it for this, especially during all of the news about Sony’s choices and upcoming plans. I’ve supported Sony since the very first PlayStation & until this day, I’ve owned every single one of them. I’ve had an Xbox before but reason that I stuck with Sony was the fact I created an account with them since the day of PSN was created and I made many friends through it and I like the trophies I’ve earned in my account.. so it’s difficult to just move on from that and start fresh on the Xbox thing, so that’s the reason I’m still on Sony’s side. Anyway, for the PlayStation 5, the console is amazing, from the looks of it to how it runs. Yes, they have been a lot of reports with people having problems with it but like with everything else, you get broken things or things that do not work properly and that’s unlucky for them but for the majority of the people the console is perfect. It’ll run anything perfectly fine, from the graphics to the smoothness of the gameplay, also how fast it is compared to the PlayStation 4 is absolutely breathtaking and you’ll notice that the moment you first turn it on. Also 1 feature that you could only get when you first turn the console on, is a video of start up that looks/feels like the old PlayStation 2 menu. Other than that, just enjoy the console, it is difficult to get one, still, but with time the chip shortage will be solved. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed with this. Good luck to anyone looking for one, Best Buy is definitely the place to get one!

Great console! It is pretty expensive and lacks a disc drive; it still packs a punch. This pretty much future proofs your gaming needs for the next 5+ years. Especially with everything going digital, the disc drive being omitted isn’t much of a problem.

People usually buy the other version, but let me tell you that this totally worth. Anyway, you always will need to buy an external drive (I prefer SSD) for your digital games. What about disk games? You can still play them in your old ps4, is not a big difference (load speed is the only difference that I notice) if is a normal game that doesn’t support a ps5 upgrade. Otherwise, I recommend virtual games because they can’t break and you always will have them in your library, so if you travel a lot like me, and you want to bring your ps5 with you, you don’t need to care for make some space in your baggage for a bundle of discs.

I mean what really needs to be said besides that this is the perfect gaming console. I ended up purchasing this model and the model with the disc drive and I will say I do prefer the one with a disc so I can play all my old PS4 games. You can talk about the new design and you either like it or hate it, but once you get it plugged in and set up, there is nothing better. Also the new DualSense controller is an absolute game changer and is one of the best parts of the new console. Its a blast to play and everything loads so fast. Also don't skip over the free game that's included (Astro's Playroom)

Going back to Playstation after 'main-ing' the Xbox one/ one one x for years is a def welcoming experience. PS plus games has amazing selection to choose from and you can keep them all in your library. The community is fantastic and I keep adding friends to the list. I have so much to catch up on when it comes to PS4 titles. As far as ps5 titles they're a little scarce but what's out def takes advantage of what Sony is pushing for in the next gen. Astro's PLAYROOM, COD Black Ops: Cold War and Descruction Allstars all utilize the 'Adaptive Triggers' on the controller and its such a game changer. Being able to feel the game react to your gamplay is phenomenal. Follow @mattswider on Twitter for live PS5/XBOX Series X restock times on different websites. I was lucky enough to get my PS5 through his link on Best Buy . com website. Remember just be signed in w/ card info saved and never give up!

Honestly, the struggle of getting one of these was worth it. The speed, the quality, and the games is just amazing. The controller has many new features, and overall, it is just more comfortable to use. Even if you have a last generation console, this is a worthwhile upgrade.
