This is just a fabulous console. I find myself being rather more impressed with it than I expected. I was expecting a transition that consisted of “oh, that’s nice” but not any particular “wow” moments. That’s not what happened.
The GUI is beautiful. Simple to navigate and, for the most part, intuitive. Separating games and media is a nice touch.
The new PS Store is an absolute blessing. Previously I didn’t touch the PS Store on the PS4, whilst being a massive step up from the PS3 it was still a thing of utter horror. As a result, I always accessed the PS Store via my PC. No more; the PS5 PS Store is more convenient and easier.
Getting into games is easy, smooth, and, above all, fast.
The controller is an absolute marvel. The best way to describe it is that it is like being on a ride at Disney. The haptic feedback is absolutely tremendous.
I’ve played a few games – mostly PS4 games that I hoped would benefit from the SSD (fortunately they did). Only one has been a PS5 game. Actually, the PS5 update to No Man’s Sky. However, this really brought home the differences between the two consoles. Frankly, playing No Man’s Sky on the PS5 was like having new eyes.
My PC is going to struggle getting my attention for gaming for the next few months at least…
If you are tempted to splash out on the PS5, I suggest you do it. Immediately 🙂

Wow! What a beast! After experiencing the PS5 in the flesh, I have to say I love the design. It’s big, but not too big. The attention to detail is amazing. The new controller is an absolute ergonomic and aesthetic masterpiece. Such an improvement.
Obviously the gaming potential is yet to be unleashed, but from my current experience, you will not be disappointed!
Great things are going to happen with this console, and I’m glad to be part of it from day one.

This is an absolutely fantastic console. It’s as easy to plug in and set up as you could expect, and you can get right into games.
As the dimensions indicate, it is a large console but it isn’t as big as I was expecting from the other reviews.
As for the performance, it is simply stunning. Astro Bots Playroom is a must play as it showcases how amazing the new controller is. You really need to play it first hand to experience it, but the controller haptics are much more refined compared to the DualShock 4’s rumble feature. The reactive triggers are far better than I imagined, and they are incredibly variable. I won’t give any spoilers but there are so many examples of how they work in Astro Bots Playroom, which also runs at 4K 60fps.
After playing for a few hours the console remains whisper quiet and only feels warm out of the rear exhaust. The disc drive is significantly quieter than the PS4 and copying data from an external HDD was a breeze.
Overall, this console really shows how much thought, design and effort Sony put into the PlayStation 5. I look forward to many years of awesome gaming on this.
Anyone who likes gaming, enjoys PlayStation exclusives and is looking for a new experience needs to buy this without hesitation.
