  (I have written a review before and I don't know what happened, so this is something like an update)
  The PS5 is a fantastic console with incredible games, stunning graphics, excessively fast speeds, and very innovative technologies that are still considered amazing today.
  Let's start with the exterior, it's difficult to fit this console on many shelves as it is very large, and the angles make it even more difficult. (I should mention that there are various custom plates that you can get from different sites, e.g. temu) Despite that, it is a very beautiful and futuristic console that truly feels like it came from the distant future. Another thing I want to talk about, which interests most people, is its power. Even though it is almost four years old, it remains powerful and runs most games with incredible graphics and better than before, as they now receive better optimization since developers have become more familiar with the hardware and software, making games like Spider-Man 2 run better than games like Miles Morales, which ran worse even if they had worse graphics.
  Three SSDs: I believe this is one of the most "next-gen" features, as the incredible speeds have no comparison to the PS4 and PS4 Pro, and the difference is not just seconds, sometimes it's even minutes.
  Four controllers: Again, I believe this is one of the top 5 "next-gen" features because the DualSense has two truly amazing technologies. The first one is adaptive triggers, which in some games like Call of Duty, if you have the future setting enabled, when you shoot, the trigger becomes harder, or in Astro's Playroom, when it becomes a spring, you really feel like you're pressing a spring! Then there's the haptic feedback, which is astonishing when you're running in FIFA or making a tackle, the controller vibrates in a very nice way, nothing like the DualShock 4, and I believe you can't understand it unless you hold it in your hands.
  Five. The games are truly one of my favorite parts of the PS5 and Sony consoles in general, such as Spider-Man 2, Gran Turismo 7, God of War Ragnarok, and many others. I believe Nintendo and Sony have some of the best exclusives.
  But let's also mention the negatives because nothing is perfect:
  1. Poor built quality of the controller, I am careful with my things but it fell once and a small piece broke.
  2. The price, I think it should have been like at launch, 500€ for the disk version and 400€ for the digital version.
  3. It makes quite a bit of noise when downloading a game, especially if it's in the physical version.
  That's all I have to say about the PS5, I believe it is a pretty good console and I think it is worth it, if not 100% then definitely 99%, just for the price alone.
  That's it from me, I hope you have a beautiful day.

  In video games, you cannot control your settings such as performance mode, etc., but the quality at 60hz is smooth and a unique experience

  Perfect, it's worth getting! It's quiet and loads games very quickly. Also, if you have a PS4, you can transfer all your data from the PS4 to the PS5

  The console is awesome, whatever I say is little, the graphics are amazing and the games it has are perfect. Now as for the bad reviews I saw, none of them are true. It's worth every last euro

  The Sony console, the PS5, does not freeze at all, nor does it lag in applications or on the home screen. It takes 3 to 5 minutes for system updates, and it takes 16 seconds to update the controllers. It can play PS4 games, and it can also read PS4 discs and DVD player discs. It is worth every penny, I would rate it 10 out of 10

  I bought the playstation 5 3 months ago, it had a fault, it keeps disconnecting and the blue light turns on. I contacted the store where I bought it and they told me to contact Sony's headquarters. They replied that I should send it to them and they will send me another repaired one, not the one I have had for three months and almost like new. They told me that's how Sony operates, if it breaks, we exchange it among ourselves and whoever is lucky

  I am facing an issue with the Playstation 5, the joystick does not respond correctly (I have 3 Original) to the choices I make during gameplay (it is slow to respond). If someone has identified the same problem and there is a solution for it, please write a message because I am really disappointed

  After a few months of having it, I can say the following: depending on what you like, buy it. The exclusives it has (e.g. God of War Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2, Horizon) are very good. If you enjoy such games, go for it. That's why I would say, if what you prefer in games (and of course if the controller suits you) is the PlayStation 5, it is most likely to give you the satisfaction you want. I, who have used countless consoles from Nintendo Wii to Original Xbox and Xbox360, really like the new games (next gen). If you also have the right screen, it makes the experience simply incredible. The graphics are amazing, I won't say anything more. The price now is quite good at 550 euros, even in the Slim version. Now, I have the previous Disc version (the one that is visible) and it is a bit bulky in the space, but I have fixed it and it doesn't bother me. Now that they only sell the Slim version, I believe it serves people better in terms of space, BUT it also has 1 terabyte capacity, compared to the regular one which only has 825gb (which goes even lower with all the downloads). Personally, I have no issue with that. I also have the 3D Pulse headphones, they are very good in terms of sound for the price of 90 euros that I bought them, but the microphone is not the best. The Dualsense, I can't say they are bad, they feel great and also have a good microphone.

  That's all I had to say, in case someone gets it, enjoy playing!

  The console is a poor and mediocre construction from the console itself to the controller (stick drift after 2 months). Disappointing games and unfulfilled promises, STAY AWAY FROM SONY

  I bought it on sale for 430 and I am very satisfied, it has very good performance overall. Maybe it should have been a little cheaper than the standard price of 550. As for the question why I didn't buy a PC, the reason was the high purchase price and that I didn't want to deal with installments. However, if you have the opportunity, prefer a good computer even though it is a console

  With a little extra money, I built a computer in 2018 and even though it's 2 years older, it outperforms the PS5. I didn't buy a next-gen gaming console to play old video games, I can run them on the PS4. Besides, the new games are no longer fun, the exclusives are so automated that it seems like you don't even need to play them, you can go for a coffee and the game will be solved by the time you come back. Everything is simulated. I don't want better graphics, I want the games to be fun again. Screw us for the skin texture of the grass. The era of €80 remasters and price increases is coming. THE CONTROLLER IS GOOD, I USE IT ON MY COMPUTER/ the PS5 is a disappointment.

  Well, since the console was first released.. I tried it.. I left enough time to get something reliable and honest, I didn't regret not trying it when it first came out in experimental stages. Well, I don't have a strong opinion about the ps5, but as soon as you open it and play the astroplayroom, what you realize is that the controller makes a big difference. I will come back at some point with a new comment after a while when I have an opinion. And it doesn't seem to me that it will be negative! Because after a huge experience with the ps4 pro, I believe it will be much better. Enjoy it to those who have it and to those who are enjoying it. I hope they get it soon and those who want it. 550 for the ps5 slim is not a small amount. They could have lowered it to 400 so that people can afford it. I wish you a good year with health and good gaming.

  I got it for Christmas 2021 and I have to say that it is the most powerful console that has been released on the market so far. I have a 55" 4k HDR TV and the experience is truly incredible. I mainly play Fortnite, COD, GTA, Gran Turismo 7, and others. Recently, I bought Spider-Man 2 and I can say after hours of playing that the experience is fantastic. The controller is out of this world. Not only is it bigger and fits larger hands, but also the vibration and design. As for the storage, it's okay because you can download around 6-7 games, but you have the option to expand it. Personally, I wouldn't change it for anything and I will never switch to Xbox.

  After 3 days of use, in my opinion, the console is overpriced. It should have been at least half the price. The games are very expensive and not particularly special. And all of them are war-themed. I don't doubt that it has beautiful graphics and a very good controller. But that's as far as it goes. We are in the era of consumerism and as long as there are those who buy them, some will profit shamelessly.

  Amazing picture easy installation automatic updates. Great range of games very clear picture and amazing pre-installed game. I bought it for 599 with 24 months free PSN Plus and I consider it a fair choice. I chose the Blu-ray version because I have titles from the 4th that are fully compatible with the console with an update. Its controller is the best that Sony has released so far. Interactive game with powerful vibration, with sufficient autonomy and the control buttons change difficulty level depending on the game and situation. Excellent console visually beautiful and can stand upright or vertically. Like the previous console, you have the ability to buy an external one to transfer all the games you need there so you never run out of space.

  It is interesting after 30 years to buy the most advanced console, at this moment.
  Everything is impressive and only positive. Time will tell.
  For now, it is entertaining.

  It hasn't been a month yet. The drive has drained my soul. Whenever it wants, it recognizes the disk. I connect the internet cable and sometimes it finds it, sometimes it loses it. It has a mind of its own. It does an update, I think it will improve... What a joke. I return it to the store and they keep it for a week because they say Sony's system has a problem and they can't register it to send it to Athens. Minecraft is still inside and I hear things I haven't heard from the kid in the last 10 years.
  After it stayed at Germanos for 10 days and after 4 - 5 phone calls, I send it myself to Astra. I call after 4 days and they still haven't registered it in their system because they say they have a lot of work and it will still be in their warehouse.
  It's almost 20 days in total and still nothing.

  Edit:

  After another 5 days, they finally sent another one. I don't even know if it's new, refurbished, or used. They didn't bother putting the Minecraft disc in the case I had put inside, but they had thrown it loose in the box.
  For the 599 euros I paid, I didn't expect them to bow down and apologize, but a little better service and better response time.
  No mention of extending the Premium Plus by 25 days, which... was running as long as the back and forth.
  The conclusions are yours.

  27-3
  Edit: Problem with the controller, the right joystick doesn't work. Back to Astra and they say they will send a new one in 15 days.
  Farewell to the banana with the captains!!!
  The little one is ready to bring me a hat...
  The conclusions (again) are yours.

  Probably soon the cables will break too...

  I consider it unacceptable that it does not have a 2TB hard drive, so if you install 7-8 games, the hard drive will be full... Truly unacceptable considering the purchase cost, as you will need to buy a disk worth €100 or more after a short period of time... Not to mention the lack of game variety, let alone the ability to play with at least two people since these 10-15 games that are available are only for one person...

  Very disappointing and negative console for me. I have both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X and I can comfortably say that the Xbox is far better. Much better, more minimal and higher quality construction, better performance, quick resume, which is sorely lacking in the PS5, and more games at your fingertips with a game pass, you're a king. The PS5 is very overrated for me, very cheap and poorly bulky construction that definitely does not bring a "next gen" feel, few good exclusives that are very expensive. For me, if you are torn between these two consoles, go blindly with Microsoft, it is much more worth it. I say this without being a fanboy of any company, obviously I have an objective opinion having both consoles.

  The best next-generation console. I got it on Black Friday from a German store that had a 15% cashback offer with Eurobank card, and with a 24% tax deduction because it is included in the items exempt from VAT. At around 290 euros, it was a super deal because the new ones are much more expensive, slim, etc

  After almost 3 weeks and having formed an opinion, I am now able to comment on the ps5. Initially coming from a ps4 slim, I thought there wouldn't be much difference between them. From the first moment, the difference is evident to a great extent, even in the menu, making it a truly worthy next-generation console. From the games I have played, I am very satisfied with their performance, even ps4 games that look even more enhanced on the ps5. A big positive is that compared to the ps4, even when running heavy games, it is completely silent. Moving on to the Dualsense, which is the controller of the console, there are very important features such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, which on their own take gaming to another level. Another positive, at least for me, is that it is bigger compared to the older controllers, making it very comfortable. Something that I initially didn't like was that it comes in white color, but I will soon get blue covers and controller, so this particular aspect doesn't bother me much, although it does look nice and white up close. Finally, I would like to mention that I have paired it with a Sony 4k television, so I can enjoy the perfect experience. I highly recommend it and if someone is considering it, I will tell them that it is truly worth it and that it is a console for every gamer who respects themselves. That's all from me! I hope I didn't bore you!

  Owner here for 8 months, upgraded from PS4.
  Initially, there is not a great variety of games, whatever game is worth it is very expensive. I have an OLED 120HZ 4K TV and very few games are made for the ultimate experience. Unacceptable. Supposedly, it is a very powerful console and they should find a way to maximize its potential. I find it unacceptable that you cannot play PS5 games with the PS4 controller. The PS5 controller does not withstand the test of time, it develops drift and the buttons stick after a few months. I have played almost all the major titles on the PS4 and I would say that I have not enjoyed any game on the PS5 like on the PS4. With this console, I expect amazing graphics and a revolution in gaming, something that has not happened so far. I am not a hater, I am a strict critic because I have been a gamer for 20+ years. It has a lot of potential and I don't know why they don't maximize it. Also, in terms of build quality, I would say they could have done better. Other than that, every game I played ran smoothly. It is worth it overall, maybe with a slight price drop.

  Those of you who have Xbox Series X, do not make the mistake of switching consoles to get a PS5. I did it and sold it within a week. Only if you want to play the 5 exclusives (which, for me, is not worth it). A huge uncomfortable plastic piece of poor quality that offers nothing more than the exclusives. The PS Plus subscription equivalent to the Game Pass costs 150+€. While with Xbox, you get 14 months for 60€. It doesn't have quick resume, which annoyed me immensely. If you close a game or the console, then the game starts again from the beginning. You can't even make swaps. The only things I liked were the controller's functions and the fact that there is good support in the Greek language. Otherwise, they should lower the prices and put some good quality plastic on the console and controllers, that's what we're saying.

  The first reason I give it 4 stars is the lack of pure 60fps in Native 4K resolution. I repeat, Native 4K, which means maximum graphics and a constant 60fps. I was hoping this would happen after so many years without needing to wait for a Pro version of the PS5 even later, but already with the original PS5.

  The second reason is that there are still not many games to say that one will play games with a pure PS5 experience, as I would like to see more exclusives already.

  However, the performance mode easily reaches 2K resolution with a steady 60fps, and the experience is very satisfying, especially if you have a TV with VRR support.

  Its performance is night and day compared to its predecessor, as the Nvme2 SSD does a fantastic job and loading times are a thing of the past.

  The Dual Sense gives a direct sense of better build quality and gaming experience in interaction with the user, especially in games that fully support its features. When you hold it in your hands and use it, imagine that the controller also does software updates.

  It is a large console and takes up space, so make sure you have enough space for good airflow around it.

  Its UI is upgraded and faster than before. Personally, I would recommend playing the Ghost Of Tsushima Director's Cut PS5 version, God Of War Ragnarok, and Final Fantasy 7 Remake PS5 version as the first games. All three are epic with exceptional graphics and performance that give you a taste of the next gen in every detail.

  I believe its price should be maximum €500, just like when it was first released, and even better in the current offer, as a console purchase does not provide anything else apart from the included controller and the base stand. Therefore, it is worth getting a bundle with a console, game, and an extra Dual Sense controller.

  If you have the capability, buy an even better HDMI 2.1 cable than the one in the package, provided that your TV supports VRR.

  The console is truly silent, even in demanding games. It is nothing like the PS4 Pro. At least the batch unit I have, which is the CFI-1216A.

  Its network performance, even through Wi-Fi, is very stable and with exceptional performance. At least in terms of the 5GHz frequency that I personally connect to.

  Finally, I am quite satisfied with the purchase and I recommend the console without a second thought if you want to play the current exclusives and future ones immediately.

  That's it. I hope I helped anyone who is considering buying the console as much as I could.

  I was late to get it because I also have the series x, okay the dualsense is from another planet, it feels alive, they were right about the adaptive triggers and the haptic feedback, simply amazing! The console is quiet, just like the series x, I regret not getting the ps5 earlier.. the only good thing is that I have a ton of games to play. It's worth every penny, 100%. I feel really happy, I haven't been this excited to play a game in a long time

  First of all, I come from the PS3.
  I waited like Job for three years, for the price to drop, for all the console and controller bugs to be fixed, for PS4 games to become old so they can be accessible on PS premium, and finally with a 100€ voucher from Kotsovolos and minus 100€ from the invoice plus the discount that Sony is currently offering (479€ for the disk edition), I bought the console that every self-respecting gamer should have for at least the next five years.
  So, with about 300€ + another controller for 69€ + 120€ for the premium, the total is 500€!
  With this money, guys, you have a console that is years ahead of anything else, the biggest games are free to download, you can comfortably stream other top games if you don't want to load the disc, download the classics of PS, selected games every month, discounts on the latest games, and so on.

  The experience is shockingly wonderful, and I don't think that in the year I paid for the subscription, I will be able to play ALL these games that I missed for so many years and now I have them for free!

  The graphics, the sound, the controllers, the build quality, the speed, everything is on another level.

  I really have nothing bad to say, today is Christmas for me!

  Get it YESTERDAY.

  I bought it to play next-gen games at least 60 fps and it does that perfectly. The graphics are also very good, even if the resolution is 1080p or upscaled 4k, in my opinion, the difference between 1080p and 4k is small and insignificant. It's great that you can add extra storage at a reasonable price.
