![PlayStation 5 Console - Disc Edition [Model 3005720]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619BkvKW35L.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg)
I preordered the console in September about an hour after the Sony event finished streaming and it was delivered to me on November 16.
It is certainly a chonk of a console but was very easy to get the stand on (I have it vertical), and setup was very quick and easy. I was soon transferring my saves from the cloud onto the console. It runs very quiet which is great compared to my PS4 which sounded like a small jet taking off.
The controller is great. It's a little larger and heavier than the PS4 controller but you get used to it rather quickly. The haptic feedback is awesome and is definitely an interesting sensation. I love the feel of the controller as the textured backing and handles gives a good grip. The built in mic and speaker work just fine, though I still find the sound to be a little on the quiet side, even after maxing out the volume setting and friends say I sound a little echoey.
My only issues I had at the beginning were that none of the USB slots worked to charge controllers in standby mode. It would charge fine if the console was turned on but I usually plug in my headset and controller overnight. With the recent update however, this problem has been alleviated and now charges the controller in standby, but I noticed it won't charge my PS4 gold headset in any of the USB ports. I have the dongle plugged into the back and that works but it won't charge, in standby or when it's on. Unsure if this is glitch or the console doesn't recognkze the PS4 headset hardware?
I've only played a few games, currently demon's souls, miles morales, astro's playroom, apex legends, fall guys, and no man's sky. The PS5 games look amazing and now that I have a better console, no man's sky looks and runs so much better. The load times are very quick and jumping in and out of a game are fast and easy.
Overall, I love this new console and am very pleased to have purchased it. Not only will new PS5 games be amazing to play but older PS4 games I have yet to play will benefit from various upgrades due to the hardware.

If you're able to get ahold of a PS5, it will be an amazing experience. The graphics are amazing. I do recommend playing it on a 4K or 8K TV as the graphics are fantastic. This version comes with the Blu-ray drive so it's a bit unsymmetrical design due to the drive. It comes with one controller, one HDMI (recommend to use this for best performance), one USB-C wire to charge your controller, and one stand, one power plug. The DualShock 5 controllers is one of the best controllers ever made. It's so comfy in your hands and the haptic feedback gives you a better gaming experience. It also plays PS4 games so you can either trade/sell your old PS4 or put it away for your collection. The PS5 controller works for the PS4 games. Some of the new games give you the PS5 upgrade for the game so you can play both versions and collect double the trophies!

It’s truly next gen. You need a 4K monitor or TV to fully unlock its potential. I played Spider-Man Miles Morales and Call of Duty Cold War on it and it looks absolutely stunning at 4K with ray tracing. The load times are a huge improvement from last gen thanks to its custom SSD. Games load instantly and everything in the UI feels super snappy.
And the controller! It’s something else, it has haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. You truly have to have it in your hands to understand how amazing feeling the sensation is in your hands. Absolutely worth it for $629! Don’t buy from scalpers. You won’t regret it! And it looks phenomenal, very futuristic. I personally got the disc version since I have lots of PS4 discs and buy lots of used games too. Truly next gen experience here!!
