I will provide an honest assessment of the PS5 based on my own experience, evaluating its design, performance, controller, game library, user interface and features, as well as availability and pricing.
Design and Build Quality - The first thing that struck me about the PS5 is its futuristic design. While it may not appeal to everyone, I found the bold aesthetic captivating. However, I did face some challenges when trying to fit the console into my entertainment setup due to its large size and unique shape. On the positive side, the build quality is exceptional, the console feels incredibly durable and premium and should easily survive till its successor comes.
Performance - When it comes to performance, the PS5 truly shines. Powered by a custom AMD Zen 2 processor and an RDNA 2-based GPU, the console delivers breathtaking graphics and ensures smooth gameplay. The ultra-fast SSD significantly reduces load times, and the support for ray tracing adds stunning visual effects to my gaming experience. I was particularly impressed with the 3D audio technology, which enhanced immersion and provided an immersive audio experience.
Controller - One of the standout features of the PS5 is the DualSense controller. From the moment I held it, I could feel the difference. The improved haptic feedback and adaptive triggers added a new layer of immersion to my gaming sessions. What's more, the controller's design is incredibly comfortable and ergonomic, ensuring that even during extended play sessions, I never experienced any discomfort.
Game Library - While the PS5 initially had a limited selection of exclusive titles, I am pleased to see the game library steadily expanding. Games like "Demon's Souls" and "Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart" truly showcase the capabilities of the console. Moreover, the backward compatibility feature allowed me to enjoy a vast range of PS4 games right from the start, giving me a substantial library to dive into.
User Interface and Features - Navigating the PS5's user interface is a breeze. The clean and intuitive design made it easy for me to jump into games and access various features. With support for 4K resolution and HDR, the visuals are stunning, truly immersing me in the gaming world. Additionally, features like Share Play, remote play, and PlayStation Plus further enhanced my gaming experience, offering connectivity and multiplayer options.
Availability and Pricing - Unfortunately, one of the major downsides of the PS5 has been its availability. Like many others, I faced frustration due to supply shortages and high demand. Moreover, the initial retail price may be steep for some consumers, especially when considering the additional costs of games and accessories.
Conclusion - As a gaming enthusiast, the console's powerful hardware, immersive controller, and expanding game library make it a compelling choice. While the design may polarize opinions and availability issues have been a major drawback, those who can overlook these aspects will be treated to a top-of-the-line gaming experience that sets a new standard in the industry.

PlayStation 5 Horizon Forbidden West Bundle Unboxing
David Di Franco
after reading many reviews i was amazed by the number of persons who did not review the ps5 but reviewed the amazon invitation system. the ps5 with horizon forbidden west is the disc version. included in the package is the ps5 disc version, the card with the game code, a dualsense controller, usb a to usb c cable, stand, ac cable, hdmi cable, safety guide and quick start guide. the setup process took about 20 mins and i played the preinstalled astro playroom. this game utilizes the haptic feedback of the dualsense controller. it is an immersive experience. you feel what is happening in the game via your hands. the option but on the dualsense is easier to press compare to the dualshock 4. out of the 825GB storage, the console states that 667.2GB is available with 645.5GB free: games and app 10.99GB, save data 3.15MB and other which is reserved for the os etc 10.63GB. my calculations suggest that with the 825GB storage, about 786GB should be available for use not 667.2GB. may be that 100+GB is being reserved but i am not sure. it is stated that you can use usb extended storage to store games and media. however, ps5 games will not run from the usb storage. they will have to be reinstalled on the main storage. but ps4 games can be play form usb storage. i haven't tried this. my plan is to install a 1TB ssd in the extended storage to use for games. the user interface is different from the ps4's but you will get the hang of closing apps and games plus turning off the systemupdate 2022/11/05i have attached external storage to it. it was a bit problematic. the ps5 recognised the external storage( enclosure with ssd) however, it kept stating the file system is unsupported or something like that. i attached the ssd to a sata to usb adapter an the issue was solve. the enclosure as a NS1068 sata chip which seem to have some issues with the ps5 or vice versa.another issued i encountered is the wifi connection failed when the external storage is attached to the back usb ports. it seem to be an issue some others are having as well. thus some reports on the web. so wired connection is the solution. * i rechecked the wifi issue after a couple of days and thankfully it wasn't encountered.2022/11/7i check for the wifi issue again, it is there.
