The PlayStation 5 is truly a next-gen console. I have been a PS4 Pro user myself and we all know how difficult it was to secure a PS5 in 2020. I was fortunate enough to get one from Walmart of all places. My experience was truly wonderful. The Console is a tad bigger than the other consoles of this generation but, it performs well for its size and there is virtually no fan noise. The console constantly outputs most AAA games at 4K/60 FPS as apposed to 4K / 30 FPS on the PS4 Pro. Don't forget to upgrade your game to the PS5 version before playing (I did not do this and was playing the PS4 version of the game, LOL). The next-gen aspect of the console was indeed the DualSense controller. The best way to describe the haptics is to compare it to a fully stretched rubber band that has been strung. The vibration that you feel in the hand is so satisfying and the adaptive triggers is an added bonus to an already fantastic controller. I know many people were hating on the PS5 design but, I have to say the design did grow on me. I have my console in the tower position(vertical). So far the best game to get a feel for next-gen is Spider-Man: Miles Morales with the Performance RT option. Imagine swinging through the buildings of New York in true 4K with tiny snow particles in the air with 60 FPS smoothness and Ray Traced reflections on the glass buildings. I am super excited for what Sony has in store for it's upcoming First Party games.

After several weeks of waiting to get a PS5, I finally manage to get one from Walmart. The PS5 is amazing. First boot up is a 1 time thing and you really don't wanna miss out on it. Yeah the bots are buying out everything on this site and every other site but I was lucky enough to get one. The people who delivered it were FedEx. Surprisingly the person who delivered mine placed it in my backyard while I was away for a few minutes. Came back to see a package in the backyard but no notifications from Walmart until around 20 to 30 minutes of unboxing the PS5. Another thing I will say was that the deliver was meant for December 2, 2020. Came in on November 24, 2020. Keep a close eye on your tracking number if you get one. I didn't receive one until it was delivered. Besides the whole trying to buy a PS5 and Walmart, the PS5 is a perfect gift. Do not buy from scalpers. Do not spend more than $500 for the Disc version. The console is powerful but there isn't much to play besides a couple PS5 games.

Really solid console. I had an issue with my PlayStation shutting down due to an error with the external hard drive, and PlayStation support helped me solve it under five minutes. There's a wide category of free ps4 games to play for free if you have PlayStation plus which is great to start out until games are starting to be released. There's also a free ps5 game with plus already as well. The new UI is refreshing and the controller is much better than I thought it would be.

I received this on December 27th but have not yet written review so i can write an honest and informative review. First off, the UI of the console is overall amazing and just like the ps4's UI, only improved. It also has very fluid dynamics and home screen music that would change depending on what game you are hovering over in the home screen. The games on the PS5 are also amazing, my personal favorite would be Spider-man Miles Morales, an open world game in which you can roam New York City freely as Spider-man, being able to do missions in which you fight villains and perform awesome tricks while web swinging. The new dualsense controller that is included in the PS5 is revolutionary. It changes the whole way you play games, for example on Call of Duty, the adaptive triggers would change intensity depending on what weapon you are using. The only problem i have experienced on this console is storage. It's simply not enough, now being 825 gigabytes, it's a step back from the PS4 Pro's 1TB of storage. With games now being 100 Gigabytes and over, you are not able to have too many games on your console. Thanks for reading!

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.

I have waited two months to give an honest review of this because I have had an Xbox ever since the PS1. I love my Xbox and the performance, the PS5 had some issues for me at first in multiplayer games. Once I ran a WiFi extender and used Ethernet off of it, all the lagging has went away. The controller was hard to get used to at first but now it feels very comfortable to me and is definitely next gen. I love the PS5 for its looks, the way it performs and the remote controller. Everything about this system is great. Once I got used to the UI and the remote it is amazing. I have both the Series X and PS5, either of them are amazing, the Xbox wireless headset and Pulse 3D are amazing. You can't go wrong with either, but the controller on the PS5 is truly next gen. The Xbox controller is just comfortable in your hand. Overall, this console performs amazingly, they just need to release the storage capacity already!

I let my son use my account to purchase his PS5. I'm 65 years old and even I think the PS5 is something to behold. I really underestimated my son when he said that this game console paired with a 4k HDR tv would be some of the most vivid and lifelike movements ever created. The controller is indescribable, just wicked cool. Think surround sound, only surround rumble. It loads lightning fast like described. He showed me his Madden football game, and it's an instant load into playing the game. He bought the disc version of the console, and i would highly recommend getting the disc version. For the extra $100, u get the ability to play your older PS4 disc games along with the PS5 discs, and ull be able to watch anything from a dvd to the 4k uhd blu rays, and everything video disc in between. I havent found a true 4k hdr player for less than $200, and this console has it built in. For the extra $100, just get the disc version. Yes, its fatter than the digital version, but just get this one. I'm thinking about just buying myself one later on for the disc player, and a few games to keep me entertained thru retirement. (I, myself, like the Astro's Playroom game that comes with it; I think it's cute and really showcases the controller and visuals.) I can see why my son spent nearly three months trying to get one. Our only gripes are the storage capacity, and the fact walmart took exactly 21 days from the 4th of February to finally ship it. Literally no updates on the order for 21 days, but once it got with FedEx, he received it within 24 hours. Good job FedEx, not so good job walmart.com. But, he got his coveted console. That's what matters. I'd also recommend the replacement plan just for peace of mind. This is a very expensive and coveted machine.

I finally beat the scalpers, the trick is, whenever it says add to cart you wait until the next wave, then you move fast. Keep that payment info secure too. Really fast loading speed, I've never been more surprised by a console. It can charge iPhones, or any device that takes a USB-C cable. Very quiet, can't even tell that there's a fan in there. Be warned though, it's HEAVY.

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.

I was lucky enough to grab one at the 12pm launch. I do think that Walmart/everywhere else needed to do better to prevent the bots and scalpers from getting all of these consoles. I feel for everyone who didn't get one because of them. Anyways, the PS5 itself is awesome. Graphics and especially the controller are great. I would definitely recommend getting one but just wait until there's more. DON'T BUY FROM SCALPERS.
