PlayStation 5 Console

Loving this console. Amazing and fluid. only problem I have is the stand. seems like an after thought but is a painful engineering flaw to me. totally disrupts the flow and look of the console. it's especially awkward when you first try to install it. not a big deal it's just surprising. Can't wait to see the slim model.

I have waited two months to give an honest review of this because I have had an Xbox ever since the PS1. I love my Xbox and the performance, the PS5 had some issues for me at first in multiplayer games. Once I ran a WiFi extender and used Ethernet off of it, all the lagging has went away. The controller was hard to get used to at first but now it feels very comfortable to me and is definitely next gen. I love the PS5 for its looks, the way it performs and the remote controller. Everything about this system is great. Once I got used to the UI and the remote it is amazing. I have both the Series X and PS5, either of them are amazing, the Xbox wireless headset and Pulse 3D are amazing. You can’t go wrong with either, but the controller on the PS5 is truly next gen. The Xbox controller is just comfortable in your hand. Overall, this console performs amazingly, they just need to release the storage capacity already!

Really solid console. I had an issue with my PlayStation shutting down due to an error with the external hard drive, and PlayStation support helped me solve it under five minutes. There’s a wide category of free ps4 games to play for free if you have PlayStation plus which is great to start out until games are starting to be released. There’s also a free ps5 game with plus already as well. The new UI is refreshing and the controller is much better than I thought it would be.

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.

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.

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.

This is probably a great console and deserves the hype but there really needs to be a system like captcha and like a small questioning on it so that the rate of bots drops significantly. I mean it’s be so bad I had it in my cart and even pressed place order and it even showed when it will arrive and it still denied me. I mean I don’t wanna end up with the only option being to buy from retailers that sell at triple the price

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.

The PS5 will be an awesome console. I was able to play a few hours of fortnite and about an hour of Spider Man Miles Morales before my console rebooted and got the rebuilding database message for the first time. It has since rebooted 6 more times. I have not been able to play Cold War and have since uninstalled Cold War and Miles Morales. I haven't had any issues since. I of course did not spend $500 to play just fortnite. I know Sony is probably working on a patch right now, but it's still disappointing. If you have secured a console yet I wouldn't stress too much, the software is not stable at least for PS5 games in my theory.

The console it self is awesome. However I bought this march 18th 2021 it came April 20th 2021 the shipping box was not taped straight from Walmart and my PS5 box has a huge rip in the front of it. Shipping Bad costumer service was also bad no one could give me any information on where my order was. It also went through 12 different city's before getting to me. Would not recommend buying PS5 from walmart.com
