Got a PS5 about a month ago. I had WAY more fun with Astros Playroom than I expected. I moved on to God of War and it's every bit as good as I'd hoped.

[@Graham_UK]

Astros playroom is a easy Platinum trophy too🏆

[@josephfrechette9916]

The VR game astrobot rescue mission is an amazing platformer

[@coreyjohnston4673]

I did the same. Awesome quality. I've had mine for four days now.

[@thattecmoguy3027]

Agreed. I tried Astros Playroom because my son wanted to try it and ended up spending hours on it. Fun little game.

[@nickhem12]

A majority of these games are in the game library now right?

[@BoilingKoolaid]

Good video. I’m buying a PS5 in January. I have a Series X and Switch. I am tired of picking sides in the console wars. I can finally afford to just own them all. This videos is helpful for letting me know what differences to expect. Thank you.

[@michaelchristopher4662]

It’s ok you have an opinion everyone has a different opinion so don’t feel bad,they are great games on every platform Nintendo , PlayStation and even Xbox but u will love the ps5

[@BoilingKoolaid]

@@michaelchristopher4662 I love the Xbox exclusive games like Forza Horizon and I actually use Game Pass on my Xbox and computer, but I have missed out on Spider-Man and God Of War, among others. I bought the God of War bundle. I also really used to love Ratchet and Clank on my PS2. I am excited to grow my library.

[@FunkyJabroni]

PS5 is a waste of money. It's just PS4 with slightly better graphics and literally NO games. Name 1 game you can only play on PS5. You can't because it has ZERO exclusive games. It is such a waste of space too. Its the biggest and ugliest thing in my house besides my wife.

I bought a ps5 on a whim when I saw one available on Amazon. My original ps4 was getting up to a decade old and was absolutely dying trying to run some of the newer games. I wasn't expecting to be this impressed. Smooth as butter.

Absolutely agree. It's gorgeous

Great review for the PS5 very informative and entertaining 🙂👍🏽

for data tranfering from ps4 to ps5, can be done with a single tv or monitor. just swap hdmi to other console when required its very easy actually for those who dont own two tvs

I just bought a PS5. I bought the expansion memory, which was so easy to install. I installed the memory before I even plugged in the PS5. I just watched a video, and it's installed!

[@garybrown5141]

I recently got a PS5 and the very first thing I did was the Data transfer from my now old PS4. The DuelSense controller is so good. The game graphics are so much better.

[@PsYChOtlC_ShArK]

the controller surprised me, when firing a gun in certain games it feels like I'm firing a real firearm (I'm referring to the trigger pull by the way)

[@MisterZeko]

This video is actually so perfect for parents or grandparents that just want to know about a gift they just got

[@alexprinsrealestateagent1263]

Great video! I haven’t owned a gaming console in over 20 years. It was a Nintendo GameCube. Buying a PS5 feels overwhelming. This helped! Glad to know I don’t need any accessories right away to play or any subscriptions! Probably gonna start off with Jedi Survivor as my first game and see how it goes!

I bought a PS5 very recently, and it's been a blast. I'm trying to buy the full camo set, I bought the Pulse headset of that, and also the Media Remote since I spend a lot of time using KZbin and Netflix. When I got the PS5 I upgraded my Essential PS Plus subscription to Extra, which is £10.99 a month here, and I thought that was a pretty good deal given what they've got. But Premium was £13.50 a month, and for only a few more pounds a month I switched up to Premium, and it's been great so far, I'm really loving it

Great video and I'm only halfway through! For the most part, people I know dont like how big the PS5 is and its stance. I think it's badass. When the original Xbox was released it wasn't visually pleasing to most but the original Xbox, I felt, put PS2 to shame. Except for guitar hero being only on the PS2 when it came out way back when.

[@vangazon]

After buying a PS5, I'm shocked I already spent nearly $2000 for games, ssd and accessories combined. Moving on, I'll be picky with buying games for this generation and just hope the PS+ offering gets better in the future

[@SebastianLong]

This system i am using currently is actually my third. First one i purchased was the digital version. I didnt know there was 2 versions when i bought it. I have limited to no internet service and thats mostly only mobile hotspot connection so the digital was useless to me. Traded it to a buddy for 3 RC cars. Second was for me about a month ago and the third was for my brother who has had his for a week now. I installed a 1TB internal SSD right off the bat as i didnt want to deal with the deleting of games like i did with my PS4. I may even get the 4TB SSD but as of right now there isnt many games that interest me so 1 TB should suffice. The games i bought are Hitman 3, Subnautica: Below Zero, Horizon: Forbidden West, Snowrunner, Farming Simulator 22 and i have on the way MX vs ATV Legends. I have taken a liking to slower paced games over the years and many of the games i have now i can leave running while i go make food or watch a youtube video. My days of sitting in front of the TV focused only on the TV for an hour at a time are over. I can only focus on a game for a max of a half hour nowadays. No shooters, no race games like GT7, and no fast pace games for me.
