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.

Honest Review

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!

FINALLY!

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.

Finally Got A PS5 Console

I have brought a PlayStation Console since the PS2 they came out. This is the first time, I've had to go to so much just to get one. My teenage son wanted a PlayStation 5 for Christmas and I promised to get him one. Tried several times to get one at Walmart.com whenever they announced they were in stock. I could never get one. After doing A LOT of research, I found that I could have a better chance of getting one from Walmart.com by using their app on my phone. On December 15th, when it became available, I was on my phone and I got one immediately! So happy that the console was delivered sooner than expected. It was so easy to set up. My son has played this console daily. He LOVES it! He said that this is definitely the best one yet.

True Next-Gen

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.

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.

cool

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.

Wait until 2021 to get one. No need to stress out

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.
