Gameplay and Graphics: As expected from Sony, gameplay on PlayStation is always captivating, and the graphics are often impressive in their beauty. New games look amazing, adding a tremendous level of immersion. Exclusives: PlayStation has always been renowned for its exclusives, such as God of War, The Last of Us, and [censored]-Man. This adds significant incentive, as you can enjoy titles that are unavailable on other platforms. DualSense Controller: No comments here, just wow. It fits better in hand than the Xbox joystick, for me personally. Plus, the DualSense innovation has a cool impact on the game. Large Player Community: PlayStation Network has a large community of players, allowing you to enjoy online games and find new friends to play with. Cost: The fifth PlayStation is not the cheapest in its class. The price of the console itself, as well as the cost of games, may deter many buyers. Noise: At high graphics settings, it can be a bit noisy, plus I read that it needs to be kept in a horizontal position because something might melt. Large game sizes: Modern games for PlayStation take up a significant amount of space on the hard drive, which may lead to the need for additional storage purchase.  Anastasiia: use Sony PlayStation 5 more than year |
PS5 — my first ever experience owning a Sony console, impressions are enthusiastically biased. SSD, 4K, fantastic performance. At the time of review, no drawbacks were found.  BestPhilipEver: use Sony PlayStation 5 less than month |
The new console turned out great. Graphics, performance, new controllers - all excellent. Accordingly, it deserves a quality display. I went with an LG OLED. I'll be honest - gaming in 4K HDR is simply fantastic. It's hard to describe, you have to see it) The combination of OLED + PS5 works like a charm. No wonder this screen is specifically recommended for gaming. Now, new games look even more impressive on next-gen) I definitely recommend it for anyone who plays and watches videos - it's a must-have) P.S. I don't notice any noise from the fan or coil whine on my console. P.P.S. I recommend the version with the drive - you can and should save on used discs) - Performance, loading speed - everything is very fast - it's next-gen; - DualSense gamepads - they're just amazing: very comfortable, great tactile sensations, excellent vibration, and a speaker right in the controller - enhances the immersion in the game, like when you're listening to radio chatter, interference, or radar. The adaptive triggers are interesting and fun, like you're pressing a real trigger; - Silent, works quietly, you can only hear a gentle rustle; - Excellent games at launch when purchasing a subscription - 20 PS4 games that are worth playing; - Backward compatibility with 99% of PS4 games - a great opportunity to complete what you missed out on while waiting for PS5 exclusives. - Not much storage, in the future I'll definitely buy a bigger SSD; - I'm not really a fan of white, I prefer black or gray; - The included HDMI cable was too short, so I immediately bought a quality 3m HDMI 2.1 cable - that was enough; - Games are quite expensive, but I knew what I was getting into.) Aleksey: use Sony PlayStation 5 few months |

PlayStation by AMD
Let's start with some technical information. Most likely you have already heard that the hardware for the PS5 was made by Radeon, using a modified 3rd generation Ryzen processor and an RDNA 2 video core, which together allow the console to deliver 10.28 teraflops of overall performance. And all this for a price tag of $500. Go find it on PC. The console supports the now fashionable hardware ray tracing, but so far it puts the system on the fifth point and you can’t dream of any 60 FPS in 4K. The icing on the cake was almost the fastest SSD in history with transfer rates up to 5.5 GB / s. However it will not last long, 825 GB by the standards of current AAA projects will fit a maximum of 5 – 6 games. Then we'll have to wait until Sony certifies other companies' solid state drives and allows you to install an additional drive in an additional M.2 slot. So far, he is like a gopher from a DMB movie, we don’t see him, but he seems to be there. This version has a traditional disc drive, but if you don't need one, you can buy a digital version of the console without it for $100 less.
Exotic appearance and excellent cooling system
The appearance of the console is impressive. If not by design solutions, then at least by size. 39 cm high — go find a suitable cabinet that it will fit into. You can put it on its side on a small stand, but in this form it looks strange. The console is assembled with high quality, a barely noticeable texture with branded circles, triangles, squares and crosses is applied to the white plastic sides. The sides can be removed to clean the case from dust or install a new SSD. The attractive glossy black plastic base instantly picks up fingerprints and dust. Inside, all the iron is covered with a 100 mm fan with a huge two-section radiator on four heat-conducting pipes, and liquid metal is used instead of thermal paste. Despite the doubts of specialists, in new projects at 4K, the console behaved damn quietly and did not heat up above 54 °C. The Xbox Series X is also very quiet, but gets hotter.
The biggest changes in the gamepad
In fact, it will take a very long time to disassemble the prefix by bones, so we will quickly go over what we liked and what disappointed. I liked the microphones built into the gamepad for hands-free calls. They catch speech well and in the future will be used for voice control of the console or web search. I really liked the new adaptive triggers and Haptic Engine vibration motors, which add a whole new layer of sensations from interacting with the gamepad. And the Xbox actually has the same gamepad. It's great that when you turn on and start your account, the set-top box offers to transfer saves and installed games from PS4. The main menu has been cleared of a bunch of unnecessary information, becoming simpler and clearer.
3D sound
I didn’t particularly like the advertised Tempest 3D Audio three-dimensional sound system. It was talked about a lot at the presentation, but so far it sounds like a Dolby Atmos or DTS:X smoker. Either Sony decided to save on licenses, or Tempest 3D Audio hasn't been finalized yet. Support for Bluetooth sound is also not delivered, Sony is afraid of delays. Well, the vaunted SSD assembled by Japanese virgins is still losing to the Xbox Series X drive: 29 seconds for a cold start (20 – 25 for Xbox), 9 seconds to wake up from sleep (5 seconds for Xbox) and in general a slightly slower game loading. Although, these are already nit-picking, but against the background of the previous generation, the new items impress with their speed. It's too early to draw conclusions on games, the PS5 launch lineup is dominated by projects that are also available on PS4.
