"content": "Finally secured a PS5 after many, many prior attempts, and am very happy with purchase and bundle from ShopTo. Console is big. BIG. It's footprint is much larger than the PS4 Pro it replaces and you should take that into consideration as your current gaming setup may need adjustment. Setup was simple, don't waste any extra cash on 'uprated' HDMI cables unless you need significant length, the provided cable is giving me the correct resolutions on the right HDMI port on a 4yr old Sony TV. Transfer from PS4 Pro of some games, save info and profiles took around 8 hours over LAN, wireless transfer will be longer so you may choose to backup to USB or SSD and transfer that way. NOTE - your capture gallery will not transfer and you must back this up separately via USB - also, PS5 does not allow you to import your captures [I bought a tiny USB drive to keep in the PS5 permanently to house my images]. In comparison to the PS4 Pro the PS5 is near silent - I no longer have to play RDR2 or TLOU2 with headphones to counter the 'take off fans' noise of the PS4 when working hard. The new controllers are quite a bit heavier than the PS4's but their capabilities are a generational step on from earlier ones - the haptic feedback is amazing at time and adds a real extra dimension to immersion and control at times [drawing bows, firing etc.]. For me its this area where the PS5 really kicks on. Early days for the gaming experience but Astro's playroom is a lot of fun and really shows off the new controllers capabilities and HFW looks gorgeous - am looking forward to exploring some other PS5 titles [Deathloop, Returnal] to see how they step on from RDR2 and the like. Happy I finally have one, the wait was worth it and, despite the significant outlay, I think it will provide many, many hours of gaming for some time to come. A PS6 will need to include a haptic immersion, a neuralink and embedded VR to progress from this! Less"

"content": "This PS5 disc version delivery came on time in discreet packaging that only displayed the serial number. They surprisingly left it at the front door. Just imagine my haste speeding home to save my highly anticipated system from package theives. I swear i saw everyone driving to my home. 😆 Not one hiccup and I paired it with the 8tb ext hdd from seagate gaming and alrrwdy have downloaded 176 ps4 and ps5 games from the ps store and ps plus premium and ea play and it loads and plays ps4 games flawlessly from the usb extension hdd. I copy ps5 games to the usb ext hdd and now i just have to copy them to the main internal m.2 ssd and when im done delete them from console storage and the ps5 games are still on the usb ext safely i have 632gb on my internal unless i have an ps5 game on it copied already with an impressive 2.32gb left on the usb extension. The machine is a beast and the graphics and audio compared side by side to the xbox series x disc version is bounds over microsoft. Just be sure after moving so many files around you rebuild the database by connecting a usb cable and holding the power button until it beeps twice. And going down to select rebuild database and it will organize the games in their respective locations and resume the loading functions and fix the downloading items in queue issue of games not auto downloading one after another. It only took 4 days of downloading after wasted time of trying to figure out the reason my files weren't auto downloading. and copying from the internal to the usb extension puts the system out of commission while it copies. But transfer times are fast about 235gb in 45 to 52 mins varying on the file and if I was downloading a PS5 game or PS4 games since the PS4 games download and install directly to the usb extension and the ps5 games directly to the internal and ha e to be transferred over to the usb extension one time to be able to permanently be their and the copy option opens up. Highly satisfied great job Sony. Less"

"content": "This is perfect for a kid who typically scratches up discs and can't keep them in their respective cases. The form factor and size of the PS5 Digital could be a bit smaller as it barely fits in most entertainment centers. I'd hate to imagine what anyone is doing with the disc version as it is clearly thicker. The system itself is exactly what I'd expect from a next generation gaming system. Graphics, sound quality, bluetooth and wifi have all improved when stacked against its predecessor, the PS4. Graphics of course, are better due to it being next gen (this is visually impossible to miss). The fan on the PS5 is much quieter than the PS4. The bluetooth was clearly upgraded as I can now walk around my entire apartment with my wireless headset on without it dropping sound. The wireless network interface card on the PS5 now supports fiber speeds. When buying games, however, I see how clever it is now to sale newer PS5 versions of games bundled with a PS4 version and raising the price $10. I'd really prefer the option to choose instead of charging me $10 for an extra version of a game I am not going to play. In addition, shouldn't a digital game be cheaper than a disc version as no production cost for a physical disc exists? While we're on the hardware discussion of the device; whydoes this device only come with 1 TB of space when the most graphically intensive games are upwards of 90 gb (here's looking at you Call of Duty: Vanguard). Of course, I can purchase an internal m.2 ssd to expand the space (and it's VERY easy to install), but this creates yet another expense for me as a consumer simply because I decided to purchase a PS5. All-in-all, this is a device I would purchase again due to the hype and because my kid wanted it. If there was no hype, I'd've probably waited until there is a PS5 released with a larger, native ssd and the disc vs digital price point is under control. Less"

"content": "While getting a PS5 was tough, it was beyond worth it. Coming from a PS4 Pro, the graphical improvements are impressive. But the most striking thing about the system is the speed. Load times in most games are so brief that you won’t even have time to read and send a text message, and that’s not an exaggeration. It is a MAJOR improvement and makes gaming even more of a joy. The DualSense controller is much heavier than I was expecting, but it hasn’t been a problem, and the feature set makes it worthwhile. Play the included “Astro’s Playroom” game for a fun and engaging tech demo of everything that controller can do. The two biggest gripes I have are the UI and the out of the box storage capacity. The UI is so busy it’s just obnoxious. Turning off the PS4 was very easy from the controller, even when I wasn’t looking at the screen. But on the PS5, you have to use a quick menu by pressing the PS button, and the power options on this menu are in a less intuitive location. They also waste real estate with a media tab that I, like many others, will never use. The storage is far and away the worst part. The 825 GB SSD is only 667.2 GB after formatting with the OS installed, and this is simply not enough given the size of PS5 games, which will only increase over time. PS5 games also can only be stored on an external HDD - not played, so you have to swap games out if you wish to use an external drive. However, you can store and play PS4 games this way, which is nice. And you can set PS4 games automatically install on the external drive with an available option if you choose. Thankfully, Sony added an easily accessible storage upgrade slot to add additional capacity to the system, though the compatible drives remain quite expensive, but I do appreciate having the option, and not having to replace the existing drive, but instead adding an additional one. This means even adding a 1 TB drive will more than double the 667.2 GB out of the box. Other than these gripes, the system is amazing. The exclusive titles are great, the upgrades and improvements on PS4 games are wonderful, and it’s a quiet and solid system. Overall, I find it leagues better than I ever found the PS4 Pro to be. Highly recommended. Less"

"content": "Let me start this review off by say that I am a lifelong Xbox fan, and proud of it. I have owned every generation of Xbox over the years, including the Series X, but I’ve always been curious about what the other side of gaming was like… to cut a long story short I was one of the lucky few to have an opportunity to get a new PlayStation 5 directly from PlayStation’s website, so I took this opportunity as a sign that it’s finally time to try a Sony product for the first time since the PS1. I LOVE the PS5. It is such a different experience than what I’ve been accustomed to from Microsoft, the level of involvement you feel on this system is unparalleled. Astro’s playroom does a good job of showing the true capability of the PS5. The design is awesome too, although it is admittedly a HUGE console. You think the Series X is big? This is at least a quarter size taller.I do have some “gripes” towards the PS5, the biggest one being the available amount of SSD storage straight from the factory. It’s advertised as 825 GB (which is already lacking) but useable storage actually sits around 667 GB. The Series X advertises 1 TB of storage, with about 802 GB available. While this really just isn’t enough storage for hardcore gamers long term, Microsoft has a bit of an edge over Sony. I will say that Sony’s overall user interface seems to be more cohesive compared to Xbox’s though. Xbox can often feel like navigating a maze at the Home Screen where PlayStation is pretty simple. Both consoles run very fast and smoothly, to the point where I don’t really notice a difference in gameplay between the two. I don’t regret my decision to buy a PS5, and I’m looking forward to enjoying it for years to come! It’s a good time to be a gamer. Less"

"content": "After 1 year and a half I finally got my hands on the PS5 thanks to Best Buy, I promised myself not to buy from scalpers no matter what. I can say with all confidence that it was worth the wait, I like the 120 Hz and now Sony just released a new firmware update with 1440P support! God of War used to lag a bit on my PS4 when so many things are on the screen, not anymore with this beast. The game that comes with this version is just a postcard with a pin that you have to scratch to reveal. The box is made of different material this time; it feels like it’s made out of plastic, like water resistant type of paper, it's no big deal but I just want to point it out. I bought Astro optical adapter from Best Buy as well for 40 dollars so I can have optical audio out to my Sony ES series receiver, and WOW, the sound is just the best I've ever heard! I also bought a middle sticker so I can hide that piano black look, I don't like that it collects finger prints and scratches so easily. Now, the only thing that I think needs improvement is the side plates, Sony should pay Dbrand a loyalty fee and adopt their version of side plates with no collar and with vents on both sides for the fan! And the game is forced on some people if they don't like it, although I think whomever doesn’t like it should have his head examined, it's stunning and it shows the powers of the PS5, and if you really don't like it, you can easily sell it on eBay before you scratch the pin. Again, thank you Best Buy for being honest and not playing favors, and thank you for not charging me a member club fee like some others just to hold a spot online, you'll be my favorite store forever!. PS: Thank you Deonte for using that big grey plastic bag to hide my lovely PS5, I didn't think I was going to make it to my car without being harassed! Less",

"content": "I had been gaming on my regular ps4 with an external hard drive for quite a while and eventually I started not liking game anymore because of how ling everything took to load and the looks of games no longer made me feel excited. When I managed to get the ps5 and started to play some games the loading times were fast. It all really just depends on what game you ate actully playing though. Some ps4 games have long intros you cant skip so the loading didnt really seem faster in that situation. Although when I was playing Horizon Zero Dawn the loading time was slightly faster. I didnt time it but it did feel a bit faster but once I got in game is where the ps5 blew me away. Ive been so use to 30 fps that once I moved my camera a bit to the right I was freaking out. From the looks of it I was getting a higher resolution than 1080p and the frame rate was at least 60 fps. It had to be. When I looked around the world the camera turned so smooth I was ecstatic. Not only that though, when Alloy started walking I could tell the difference in the way she ran on the ps5 vs the ps4 it was night and day clear difference. The whole world looked even better which astonished me because I thought it looked nice on the ps4 but on the ps5 it looked breathtaking. It felt like a completely different game. One thing I will add on top of all of this is that when I put my hand near the ps5 I felt cool air coming out of it and only towards the back of the ps5 where all the hdmi and all the other ports are it felt slightly warm. That I was not expecting. Hopefully that means that the ps5 was built to last. I could say so much more but at this point Id just be repeating myself which wouldnt make much sense because everything ive said already shows that the ps5 is next gen. Less",

"content": "Its Here!!! Never dreamed I would get lucky enough to snatch up a PS5 this year, let alone in time for Christmas. Tried on Black Friday, held my place in line, no cigar. Had tried every other retailer , following the drops and restocks, to no avail. Thought I would give it one more try on Cyber Monday, and completely lost track of time, and didn't get online until exactly 12:04, 4, minutes after the start of sale. Thought those 4 minutes would cost me, but went ahead snd clicked on \"Hold my place in line\" even though they said \"Sold Out\", I had read to hold on anyway and wait. So i did, making sure in the meantime All my payment information and address was correct, and was down from 33 min to 8 min, and when I decided It was pointless to wait for the elusive PS5, so I put a nice set of Hotel Style King Size Sheets in my cart and was about to check out when all of the sudden, POP UP, \"YOU HAVE 9 MINS AND 37 SECONDS to check out your items or you will lose them. What? Is this really happening? Yes, I had just secured the only item on my 8 year daughters Christmas wish list that she asked for. The PS5 was scheduled for 12/17 delivery and my sheets for 12/6. The irony of it all is the PS5 arrived on the 7th, and its now the 14th and im still waiting on my sheets. Im not complaining, im elated that I will get to see my little girl jumping in joy Christmas morning when she opens her new PS5. The box was left st my front door which is a bit unnerving considering many neighbors have had packages , specifically the PS5, stolen from their front door, but i was fortunate to be home and see the box outside the door window. It also wasn't securely packed. The PlayStation box inside the packing box wasn't surrounded by styrofoam or peanuts or anything, except 2, light strips of air filled plastic. The console definitely would have slid around, jerked and moved all over inside the box during shipping but fingers crossed its not broken. Being that its a Christmas gift for my daughter, Im not opening the box because I don't want to ruin the aesthetics of it. Thankfully it can be returned up until January 7th, so in the unfortunate event there is a problem with it, we can return it. But for now, im a happy mommy and If you are still trying to purchase one, dont give up. Miracles do happen. Less"

"content": "My fiancé bought me a PS5 disk version for Christmas and I’ve been in love with this thing ever since.It runs quiet and pretty cool.The shape is a little different but I like that and the fact that they have faceplates so you can change the look of your console and controllers if your not a fan of the white and black color scheme is really nice.I’ve only had the chance to play NBA 2K22 and Spider-Man Miles Morales for PS5 so far but dang the graphics look amazing and I’m primarily a PC user.The controller is much better than the previous PlayStation controllers, it’s bigger and I love the added light bar on top to indicate health and other in game things. Also, to some people the tension might seem a little gimmicky but I love that!Playing Spider-Man or the last of us shooting the bow and arrows or web slinging with the tension triggers is pretty cool. The only issue is that the controller doesn’t last a huge amount of time if you have all these settings on so if that’s not your thing just turn those features off.The storage is a bit small but I plain on buying a 2-4TB Nvme drive so if you plan on having a ton of games installed at once I’d recommend getting a Nvme for PS5 games and a External drive for those older/last gen games ie PS3, PS4 games.Honestly If you like Xbox get an Xbox, if you Like PlayStation get a PlayStation, if you have a PC then get a PlayStation because having a PC and a Xbox in my honest opinion seems kind of dumb because all the exclusives on Xbox are also on PC. Nintendo is its own thing I won’t even compare a Nintendo with something like a PS5 or Xbox series X.If you liked the PS4 you’ll love the PS5.I absolutely love my PS5!The only problem obviously is that these have been a pain in the backside to buy for over a year now because of the shortages but if you do get one it’s definitely worth the wait. 👍🏽👏🏽 Less"

"content": "To note: I bought the disk version, this review is after a month's use. This is my first console that I have ever personally owned although I have played PS since the PS2 version and honestly this is without a doubt an amazing upgrade (even from the PS4 pro) in terms of quality of the overall product. Controllers: Are a little bit heavier (nothing significant but you will be able to tell) but I like it better as this makes the vibrations just reverberate through your arm and enhancing the experience. Console: Is much bigger than all the others (disk version being more bigger but by the slightly odd (it becomes less weird with time) little disk slot which is probably less than 2cm extension from the digital), pretty easy to set up (first timer as myself although I had to google 1 or 2 things). because of the design, the top part thats free standing and the black plate/stand thing, does tend to feel a little \"plasticky\" like hard plastic but one that you can push and see it bend-ish... This must be solely caused by the design rather than it not being strong or something but I would not risk it. It also is quite big and although standing upright may not be best for everyone who is afraid that it might fall, maybe you have kids who run around or host parties a lot... it honestly does look sturdy enough, it doesn't necessarily wobbly (I did a \"bump\" test on the tv stand). With all things said. I would not trade it for anything. I completely love my little spaceship. Hope this helps! Less"
