Two plus years later I finally landed one!

I just wanted to give a couple of quick points of note since everyone knows the console by now through reviews if nothing else.First, it should be noted that this is an updated version of the PS5 which has a new motherboard design for better cooling and power efficiency. Tech websites have tested both the original (1000 series) as well as first updated version (1100 series) and then this one (1200 series). The first two series had the same motherboard design, but the 1200 series has a much smaller motherboard and cooling design which is 2.5 pounds lighter by themselves. A couple of friends have the 1100 series bought a year ago and they are noticeably heavier.Second, the slight tulip shaped case design really does not like being laid to the side like previous PS consoles that could be horizontal or vertical for cabinet diversity. It just looks wrong and is not stable.That said, I bought the PS5 mostly for GT7 and other racing games and am not disappointing in 4K quality running a Gigabyte Aorus 48″ OLED 120Hz gaming monitor (LG C1 based OLED panel). I already have a $2,850 high end PC gaming rig built around an RTX 3080 Ti video card for that monitor, and for the $500 retail price in Blu Ray form, I can honestly say for the first time ever a console can hold its own in the gaming world up against we PC gods at the highest resolutions and frame rates!

Great fun

What’s not to love? It’s a PS5. Great delivery time from the seller and a prompt response to a query I had. No complaints here. I am in love with this upgrade over my PS4. Been a gamer my whole life and PlayStation is the best console to game on imo.

Died after static shock

While this is a great product it has terrible ESD protection. I got my console in July 2023, put tons of hours into it, and one static discharge from my finger to the USB port killed it completely after a year and a half.Static discharge is an easily solved problem in electrical engineering so I guess Sony just skimped out on proper ESD protection. At this cost it should be far more robust than it is.

NO VR SUPPORT FOR F1 2023

If you are buying this to upgrade your PS4 F1 2023 game, don’t do it. The PS5 hardware is fine, even like the VR headset! EA has released that they will not support VR on the PS5 VR2 system. Don’t know why, but EA don’t seem to care about PS5. The best VR headset to date and no EA support. Even tried GT 7, I don’t like the forced challenges when I don’t know the game. I’ve got over 100 hours on f1 2023 on other platforms, they didn’t transfer over to PS5 either. I’m just not a traditional gamer to spend $500 to play old PlayStation games, or even watch TV on my console, most of us have computers and watch TV there. Should have upgraded my computer!Sorry Sony, was hoping you were still the one and only. Sorry EA is being a ____! Prolly should get my money back…EDIT: I take it back about GT7. Seems Sony compensated for the EA loss. Been having a blast with GT7 and the lightweight VR set. Guess its time to learn GT racing… See ya

Great Product

I mean it is a PlayStation 5 of course we love it. It has been a great addition to our game systems and the graphics are incredible. You are able to use controllers wirelessly or have a direct connection via usb ports. Has a decent amount of storage. No issues with power button or disc eject buttons sticking. With the ps5 we got we are able to use a physical disc or download games directly to the system. Haven’t had any issues with it over heating.

**Review for PlayStation 5 (PS5)**

**Review for PlayStation 5 (PS5)**The PlayStation 5 (PS5) has been a game-changer in the world of console gaming since its launch. After spending several months with the system, I can confidently say that it lives up to the hype. Here are my thoughts on its features, performance, and overall value.**Design and Build Quality:**The PS5 has a striking and modern design that stands out in any entertainment setup. Its sleek white and black aesthetic, combined with subtle LED lighting, gives it a futuristic look. The console is larger than its predecessor, but the design is well thought out, allowing for vertical or horizontal placement without compromising airflow.**Performance:**The performance of the PS5 is nothing short of impressive. Powered by a custom AMD processor, it delivers stunning graphics and fast load times, thanks to its ultra-high-speed SSD. Games load almost instantly, allowing you to dive right into the action without the frustrating wait times typical of previous consoles. The 4K gaming capability is also a significant upgrade, providing beautiful visuals that enhance the gaming experience.**Game Library:**The PS5 boasts an expanding library of exclusive titles and cross-platform games. Games like “Demon’s Souls,” “Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart,” and “Returnal” showcase the console’s capabilities and provide immersive experiences that are hard to match. Backward compatibility with a large number of PS4 titles is also a huge plus, allowing players to enjoy their existing library with improved performance.**DualSense Controller:**One of the standout features of the PS5 is the DualSense controller. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers add a new layer of immersion that enhances gameplay. You can feel the tension in the triggers during intense moments, and the subtle vibrations provide feedback that makes you feel more connected to the game. The built-in microphone and speaker are also convenient for quick chats without needing a headset.**User Interface:**The PS5’s user interface is sleek and intuitive, making it easy to navigate between games, settings, and the PlayStation Store. The Control Center provides quick access to essential features without interrupting gameplay, enhancing the overall user experience.**Final Thoughts:**Overall, the PlayStation 5 is an outstanding console that offers an innovative gaming experience. With its impressive performance, beautiful graphics, and unique controller features, it’s a must-have for both hardcore gamers and casual players alike. While the availability can be challenging at times, it’s worth the effort to get your hands on one. If you’re looking for a console that pushes the boundaries of gaming, the PS5 is definitely the way to go.

Best console to date

An improve from the previous models that just makes everything better. Faster and more beautiful gameplay. Super fast loading times and allows me to play all previous games from any previous console using a subscription. Controller is also a bonus with new sensors, mic and vibration features.New customization allowing for choice between beauty and smoothness of gameplay. New design that looks beautiful and brings a slick and nice feel to my gaming area. 4k resolution and 60fps gaming without any noise or problems.Have not come across any of the previous generations problems. No sticking, no audio issues, no visual issues. Allows for recalling if gameplay for I terbals starting at 15seconds to whenever the game was launched. Allows for sharing of gameplay to friends with the touch of a button and it starts instantly.Games look beautiful and run flawlessly. Highly recommend to all playstation lovers

Review After One Month

The PS5 arrived fairly quickly and was in good shape upon arrival.Now, regarding the console itself. The PS5 has a ‘unique’ design and is easily the biggest video game console I’ve ever seen. Due to its sheer size, I’ve had to place it horizontally within my media center where it’s a bit difficult to access the disc drive.The console came with a short HDMI 2.1 cable (capable of supporting 120fps if both your TV and the game you’re playing support it too) and a generously sized USB cable for plugging in the controller or charging it. The game “Astro’s Playroom” comes preinstalled and is an enjoyable, albeit short, game which you can use to familiarize yourself with the controller and console.The console is advertised as having 825GB of storage, but only 667GB are usable so I’d recommend buying either an external HDD or a compatible nvme SSD for extra storage. PS5 games load extraordinarily fast and PS4 games enjoy faster loading times as well. Even XCOM2, which barely chugged along the PS4, runs smooth as butter. That said, install times are still rather long and it takes a while to transfer games to/from my HDD and SSD.Despite claiming 8k on the box, I’m not aware of any games that are capable of natively supporting it. While the console does support 4k resolution and 120fps, you’ll need to find games that do so too. While some games will run at 4k/60fps, others will have resolution vs. performance modes that’ll sacrifice either resolution or framerate to ensure the game runs well.The DualSense controller is appealing to the eye, has an ergonomic design, and the built-in haptic feedback is very pleasing to experience whenever a game supports it. My only complaint is that the battery life is somewhat poor and seems to charge slowly whenever plugged into something that’s not a PS5. As such, I’d recommend charging the controller while playing a game or while the PS5 is in rest mode.The PS5’s Wi-Fi adapter is an improvement over the PS4’s. It supports both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. I’ve noticed my downloads running faster on the PS5 than the PS4 while on the same network.The PS5’s backwards compatibility with PS4 games seems to work pretty well. Most games (especially ones with PS4 Pro patches) run extremely well and you can play them with a PS4 controller if you’d like. The only downside is that installing PS4 games seems to add to the PS5’s “other” storage space. All games now have an install progress bar, and you can now separately delete DLC from games.As far as problems go, I’ve found that the PS5’s UI leaves something to be desired and I’ve occasionally run into small software problems, usually whenever installing, moving, or deleting games. Additionally, when I plugged in my external HDD for the first time, half of its game library was seemingly deleted. I now suspect that it’s due to most of the games not being fully installed, something that I’ve now remedied on the PS5 and have not experienced again.Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with my purchase so far and find it to be a worthwhile upgrade to my aging PS4. If you own physical PS4 games or prefer physical game copies in general, buy the PS5 disc edition. If you go all digital, get the cheaper digital edition. Aside from the presence (or lack thereof) of an optical drive, I’m not aware of any difference between them.

A fantastic console worth re-arranging your gaming setup for!

When I first unboxed the PS5, I was honestly wowed by how big the system was… And since I was aware that the PS5 is an absolute UNIT of a system when I bought it, I pre-emptively made room for it in my setup before it arrived.The PS5 system DWARFS my Wii U in sheer size, and it has quite the commanding presence in my gaming setup, as seen in the picture I’ve provided.Regardless… Given that the PS5 seamlessly plays PS4 games, I can now dive into a bunch of PS4-era games I missed out on, like Dreams, LittleBigPlanet 3, and WipEout Omega Collection.In regards to the PS5’s own games, the only game I’ve had the chance to truly dive into was Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, a multi-platform game that I wound up starting to hyper-fixate on… But that’s for another review.I’ve briefly played a few other PS5 games I bought alongside my system, and they look and play beautifully on my 4K 120hz Sony TV after configuring the PS5 to use 120hz and VRR.The DualSense controller the system comes with is highly responsive, and I find that the adaptive triggers feel trippy in a good way when they kick in, as games can change how the triggers feel depending on the context and what you’re doing.The PS5 comes with Astro’s Playroom installed, which is a short and sweet collect-a-thon platformer that lovingly references the history of the PlayStation brand all throughout, including little robots cosplaying as characters that made their mark on PlayStation history. I got a kick out of feeling the triggers resisting against my pushing in the controller demo that the game includes, to be honest.The home menu UI took me a bit to figure out at first, but it’s easy to navigate and looks fairly slick. However, one disappointment I’d like to air out is that the PS5 doesn’t have any themes, which the PS4 apparently had.In conclusion, the PS5’s an overall great system, and I can’t wait to dive into the games I got for it!

Great Product Very Happy!!!

So I am very pleased with my newish ps5! The only problem I had is it didn’t come with the proper cable for connecting my controller. You need a USBC to USBC cable make sure you have one at home. Luckily most people have one laying around but it didn’t come with it.
