Next Gen gaming

Loving this console. Amazing and fluid. only problem I have is the stand. seems like an after thought but is a painful engineering flaw to me. totally disrupts the flow and look of the console. it's especially awkward when you first try to install it. not a big deal it's just surprising. Can't wait to see the slim model.

Pickup Only! Only way to go.

Walmart had a 9:00pm stock of PS5's on November 25th, and after 15 minutes of trying to add to cart, I was finally able to order it. To my surprise it was for "Pickup Only" at checkout, and had to wait until December 2nd to pick it up at my local Walmart. Of course well worth the wait! I think Walmart should be doing the Pickup Only method from now on to stop scalpers from buying them up, and everyone will have a fair shot to get one. Appreciate you guys doing it right!

I decided I would try to get a ps5 after I failed at getting the series x and I happened to manage to get one. The videos for the ps5 dont quite show the power and features it has to offer. The best way to experience the power of this system is to see it in person. Amazing graphics and loading speed. I'm happy that I decided to get this system.

Horrendous release, glorious next gen

I don't think it needs pointing out that Walmart was not the ideal place for a drop like this. Their website crashed four times in a row last Friday due to the large influx of both genuine customers excited for the next generation of consoles and opportunistic scalpers abusing the online-only release of the system due to the pandemic. I was fortunate enough to somehow stumble through the clunky and slow checkout screen at 9 PM and secure a PS5, but you can tell from the negative reviews and recent Twitter trends that not a lot of people can say the same. It's unfortunate that people take advantage of online releases like this and turn regular console releases into Supreme x North Face drops. As for the console itself, it's great. If you can manage to secure one, then great. If you want to learn more about the console, watch MKBHD's review or something. Although they're rightfully angry, the reviews on this site don't really reflect how people feel about the console, but more the release. I think this terrible online release is a byproduct of the pandemic and the console shouldn't be judged for the era it was released in.

Disc drive is not working right

Bought this for my husband and we got it within a week of ordering. He has only used it one day and when he went to put a disc in to play the disc drive sounded like it was a weedwacker/trimmer that you use outside to work on lawns. It was so loud. My husband and I tried multiple disc and it made that noise every time. After about 10 minutes or so it would stop but after some time it would start back up again. He had a disc in while he downloaded content for it and was playing a digital game and after about an hour playing the digital game the consoles drive started getting really loud again. We didn't figured it was cause the disc was still in there downloading content, but all of a sudden the disc came flinging out of the console. I'm very mad about the fact that I'm paying over a $1,000 to Walmart for a console that was supposed to be brand new and it doesn't even work right before we even get to use it. Now I'm probably going to have to call Sony and see if they will either fix it or replace it. There's no point in having a disc version of a console when the console won't even keep your games in it, and 90% of your games are on disc. Very disappointed and honestly don't know how I feel about ever buying another console or video game system from Walmart again.

Reboots Galore

The PS5 will be an awesome console. I was able to play a few hours of fortnite and about an hour of Spider Man Miles Morales before my console rebooted and got the rebuilding database message for the first time. It has since rebooted 6 more times. I have not been able to play Cold War and have since uninstalled Cold War and Miles Morales. I haven't had any issues since. I of course did not spend $500 to play just fortnite. I know Sony is probably working on a patch right now, but it's still disappointing. If you have secured a console yet I wouldn't stress too much, the software is not stable at least for PS5 games in my theory.

Great console when it isn't crashing

Walmart got the PS5 to me a day late, but I was still very excited to get into some games. Now, just one week later, I'm thinking that being on the cutting edge wasn't worth it. The games are great, graphics fantastic, but it's the *crashing*. When this console crashes, it doesn't just drop you to the menu and say, "There was an error". No, it goes to a black screen before the PS5 makes a noise like something tiny exploded, spins the fan super fast, and then just drops power entirely. Then you have to coax it back to life using the power button, sometimes multiple times, before having to go through a drive check and an error report. Honestly, I'm a little afraid to keep using my PS5 for fear that it'll brick. If you're a parent trying to appease your kids for the holidays, do yourself a favor and save it for the Spring holidays. Maybe Sony will have these issues at least diagnosed by then.

Vendor opened seal3d box before selling as new

Just recieved today. Purchased from "Nationwide Distributor" on through Walmart.com. The playstation box was clearly opened from the bottom and the unit removed from its sealed box. The seal itself was intact but altered. Why even open the box and remove the system?
