Should you buy a Playstation 5 in 2024? | Worth it? | Review

[@NoMadKid]

while not having many exclusive games but still the console is AMAZING. great investment cause this generation is planing to remain till 2028, so we have a lot of upcoming greatness on the way.

[@bmwseries3]

Its worth getting just for the dual sense pad alone

[@ShonnDaylee]

I bought my PS4 Pro when the PS5 released, which meant I had a HUGE library of games to play (a lot of which were definitive editions), and at incredible prices, with all the bugs worked out (both system, and games). So, I just received my PS5 (Original BIG Model), and once again, I have a much larger library of games to pick from (GT7 (PSVR2), Shredders, Baldurs Gate 3, are all on my immediate buy list), and at a much lower price, overall. I think I made the right choice.

[@eNv3n0mX]

Should've gone for ps5 pro also.

[@AdefioyeAdekemi]

But the PS5 is the best

[@RudolfRelease]

I've had a PS5, the controller was great and it's fast. But I wasn't as hyped as I was for the PS4. So I sold it, maybe if they bring out games that I like, I'll buy one. PS4, XB Series X, Switch is enough - backlog issues 😁

[@skryvvara]

The PS5 is fantastic but the controller is probably the most annoying one I used so far. That and a few other issues made me Switch to Xbox Series X

[@hikikomoriiii-y1w]

As someone with a ps5, I wouldn’t bother, maybe I’m getting old but I hardly tell the difference coming from my ps4 plus I can’t find anything entertaining enough to keep me playing for more than an hour that doesn’t cost atleast £60-70, it’s exciting for a week then just feels like a ps4, it maybe my crippling depression talking but hey ho

[@remon.d8341]

Performance should be more steady, i will get one for tekken 8. I never got 'new' online games so i was always behind a version 😂 i want to play tekken 8 while the people are still playing, tekken 7 is a bit dead sadly.

[@hikikomoriiii-y1w]

You will enjoy it I reckon, tekken hurts my hand too much lol, the game I have been enjoying the most is Batman Arkham knight which is for ps4 😂

[@danielshamu8890]

PS5 Pro expected to drop in November 2024, that's when I will buy the PS5, honestly, I'm buying the console for GTA 6, and also 2024 is predicted to be a big year for next-gen gaming

[@MnfsYR]

Me too, i have Xbox series s since june 2021, but i see that the PS5 despite being really expensive, it's way more powerful and has awesome exclusives, better than the Xbox exclusives imo. And i'm thinking buying a PS5 Pro in november if the rumor is confirmed by Sony. Also if the PS5 Pro is launched in november, just thinking that the console will go the Black Friday list, that would be amazing, but it's a dream anyway... What about the Xbox? I might just sell it (still really good condition btw 👍) or i could give to a friend who wants it. Can't wait to finally play Ghost of Tsushima on the PS5, using PS plus

[@ipaddleYOass]

"Big year for next gen gaming" they been saying that for the past 6 years

[@sakshamsharma3527]

last big year for gaming was 2017.

[@Billzloveschelsea]

I've lost interest in gaming. Nothing like the PS2/PS3 era.

[@Glc0077]

As a ps5 owner I feel the same

[@Billzloveschelsea]

@@Glc0077 I’ve not played a console since 2018. I find more excitement with mobile gaming with the raise of heavy graphics with fc 24 mobile and call of duty pushing graphics to the highest level especially playing online gaming with these two titles.

[@hikikomoriiii-y1w]

Me too, I bought a ps5 and it just sits there, instead of paying £60-70 for one game I bought a ds with 280 and I’m having way more fun, I don’t get it 😂

[@alexcortez3007]

Come on man!

[@mravg79]

@@Glc0077 guys I hope you will find joy in gaming. I’m gaming since ‘92, currently own XSX, PS3, PS4, PS5, Steam Deck OLED and 7 year old gaming laptop. While I do not like a lot things in todays gaming industry, in so called “modern gaming” I still find a lot of joy. Though to be honest having both current gen consoles does not seems to have sense I mostly play on just one and the other I rarely turn on.

[@markzc6236]

Here's my take. The ps5 is worth the upgrade IF you want to get the entire set up. The controller is cool but now worth 70$, the portable version is 100% worth it if u have the money, and the load times save u a few minutes every session. Visually, it's not that much different. Game developers SUCK at using the full potential of the PS5, so you will not see a large difference when playing the same games. My friend let me borrow his ps5 and honestly, it didn't play any better visuals, just faster on the load times. It's just not worth upgrading unless you get a crazy good deal on a ps5. I'm not paying anymore than 350 for new console that doesn't have a stand or even a controller.

[@logiclee1]

Depends on your screen. If you have a screen that can take advantage of the PS5's HDMi 2.1, 120Hz, VRR, full HDR 4k etc then there is a big improvement. PS4 Pro limited to 30HZ @ 4k HDR. If your monitor/TV is not HDMI 2.1 and can't do the higher frame rates at 4k HDR then you wont see a big difference.

[@Asahi5543]

If you can find one for 350 or less you should get one I got mine for 340 on facebook

[@shadowghost815]

Im mainly a PC player (Ryzen 5900x CPU with a RX 7900xt GPU) and I got my PS5 (Forbidden West Bundle) on Amazon because I wanted to play Returnal. Then months later Returnal got released on PC. Im not upset though because its honestly uncomfortable for me to game on a controller. I prefer Keyboard and mouse and the customization available on PC but im still glad I got the PS5. Even before I got into PC gaming Ive always preferred Playsation over XBOX.

[@LR0278]

Don't waste money like I did with a PS5. Very few exclusives are worth the full price. A very expensive paper weight for sure

[@jonathonanders7797]

Would you be able to give me more info as to why you don't like the PS5. I'm wanting to buy a new system but every review that I'm seeing is too biased and I can't get a legitimate comparison between any consoles

[@LR0278]

@@jonathonanders7797I would hold off, unless there are a few games that you really, really want to play on PS5 and are exclusive to it. My best advice (if you can afford it) is to get a PC.

[@DoNE021]

I upgraded to a PS5 (disc) slim. from a PS4pro, couple days ago. The framerate was much better on PS5, Less headache while gaming, and eyes don' hurt as much now. Only tried couple games. Its a nice machine.

[@roizzzzs]

I'm interested in buying a slim too, is the fan loud? How's the performance and do you think I should go with a slim or an og ps5?

[@wasteland-werewolf]

I've been a PC gamer since I was a kid . I'm thinking of getting a ps5 though.

[@reviewrattlesnake]

It's a fun console. Just not as many games as I would like.

I wanna buy ps5 1200 model is the best as as I've heard So have you har any issues Like heat noise or anything like that throughout the time? Should i go for it or wait until ps5 pro?

Nice review bro! I will get one when GTA 6 comes out

[@reviewrattlesnake]

Thanks! Yeah im excited for this game too.

[@DiMarzio-Tone]

Lol, at 57 years old, I appreciate and love the PS5, Xbox series x era, it's just different. I mean c'mon, all people did in the PS2 -3 era is complain about how we need more powerful hardware, so nothing has changed except perfected graphics, frames per second, and overall performance of the ps5, and you have big games like Gran Turismo 7, Uncharted, Dirt 5, and many other games, so I'm not sure what people are always complaining about, Lol, people complain every generation, Lol 😂😂.

[@penguinpewpew_]

I thought about buying a PS5 but I will just save more money for a couple of months and buy a PC, my goal is to have a PC in December. I found a PC with DDR4 32GB ram, 1TB, RTX4060ti for 1050€

[@bustercherry2054]

I'm buying one only for GTA 6

[@SteeloFN]

Hi brother, I would like to know if you’d be able to create a newer video about PS5 and PS5 Slim in the future. I have been watching KZbin contents “before buying PS5 or Should I wait for PS5 Pro” bunch of biased opinions. Would be appreciated since you have more better insight and knowledge on breaking down deeper aspects in content. Thank you ~ Steelo

[@reviewrattlesnake]

Thank you for your nice comment. I will absolutely make a follow up video to this. Probably near the end of the year or earlier.

[@theoavg]

I ve never owned a console and i just got a ps4 for free. I am playing all the games under the sun. I look forward to buying a ps5 in thee years from now.

[@reviewrattlesnake]

Have fun! There is a ton of games on the platform to discover.

[@suprzena333]

i think the disc tray only requires wifi for registering when you first attach it to the console

[@suprzena333]

I didn’t have wifi for a month and the disc tray still worked with my games with no issues

[@Svabby]

​@suprzena333 good to know. Do you know how much gb are stored on discs?

[@eldorado6016]

Welp I been looking for a ps5 last week the og one but unfortunately only been seeing the slims so is it worth it or should I wait for the original to go in stock

[@reviewrattlesnake]

Maybe check different stores or online? Good luck on your search!

[@MAMA67]

from now on only the slim version will be available. It’s better than the og imo, it’s smaller and has 200gb extra internal storage. so why not?

[@DanielCruz-qr6qu]

Why would you want the og version?

[@ytuser4597]

Which console do you recommend for someone who's gonna start streaming on Twitch? 🤔

[@reviewrattlesnake]

Depends on the types of games that you want to play. I would say that for streamers, a good gaming PC is a much better option.

[@jonathonanders7797]

Due to accessibility the PS5 is a much better system to stream off of than the PS4 or any xbox console however using a PC is going to give you way more options

[@backroomcounting]

how much are they really going for this month my budget is 550

Maybe if want exclusive games like ones for marvel studios. If they loss rights to their exclusives to Xbox due to rumors heard about Sony PlayStation division firing ton people. Is why I say this but if they don’t then yes unless got LG which mainly designed for Dolby gaming and streaming like Xbox series x system.

Alert 🚨 please 🙏 assistance !!! I bought before four days a brand-new PlayStation five console as I did all the steps right when I did the update the problems began I got stuck on the safe mode with the eight options : Start, restart Restore etc. Everytime that I selected the option 4 : update , the procedure was finishing normal and after that the issue :The update file is corrupted SU- 101265-5 appeared. Every single time When I choose option 5 6 3 it kicks me out to the Main menu of the Smart TV with a warning : Check electrical power of the console . What is going on here guys

[@senpaifresh8813]

Hi I recently bought a PS5 and it taking forever to download games. Is this normal

[@reviewrattlesnake]

Depends on your internet connection. I find the PS5, even over Wi-fi to be relatively fast. But of course this depends on the game. Some games are easily 80-90GBs and those will of course take much longer than a game that takes 40GB of storage.

[@costelneaga8385]

It is a waste of money! It is not at all user-friendly, have such extremely poor customer support that it is lacking, actually they direct you to other players for help! You bought it then you still have to pay for everything! Even for the account (they call it charge to verify the age), even to change the profile details they charge. You want to play some free games? Emmm...there are no free games. Oh, ok some free to install. But to play them? Pay! A machine like this should be for entertainment, the PS instead it is so frustrating and charge you for anything that it actually it is quite stressful. Get A PC instead, much more versatile and also customizable. JUST QUIT THE IDEA OF GETTING A PS, saves you time, money, energy, health.
