We were hoping for great things from the PlayStation 5, and Sony’s next-gen console delivers. But should you buy a PS5 at launch? We’ll answer all your questions in this video review of the latest PlayStation console.

Our PS5 Review
Sony has re-imagined the key parts of the experience – from a simpler setup and new well-thought-out user interface, to a revolutionary controller and added bonuses for PS Plus members – and the result is a console that we can’t help but be impressed with. Sure, there are problems with how few first-party games there are at launch – and it would have been nice to see support for previous generations of PlayStation titles, not just PS4 games – but the PlayStation 5 feels like a solid investment nevertheless, and we’re confident that the PS5 experience will improve with age.
You may feel tempted to run out and buy a 4K/120Hz TV with HDMI 2.1 to take full advantage of the console’s peak capabilities, but even without one you’ll enjoy unbelievably fast load times and a gorgeous new UI.
The PS5 caters to both primed and ready next-gen gamers and tepid PS4 owners looking to dip their toes into the future of gaming – and for the latter it’s a console that so seamlessly bridges the gap between the last generation and the next that you probably won’t need to boot up your PS4 ever again.
From big upgrades like the super-fast NVMe SSD and powerful GPU that enable higher frame rates and ray tracing, to subtle touches like the built-in microphone on the controller that can serve as a quick stand-in for a headset, the PS5 feels like it was built for ease of use as well as pure power.
We’ve yet to get our hands on the PS5 Digital Edition, which we may feel differently about, and we’ve yet to try out some of the PS5’s streaming apps and entertainment functionality, but if you’re still on the fence about buying the PS5, we can wholeheartedly recommend the console as a welcome upgrade over the PS4, and an exciting portal to next-gen gameplay.
The PS5 release date in North America, Australia, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand is November 12, 2020, which is just two days after the release of its next-gen rivals, the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. For the rest of the world, the console becomes available one week later on November 19.
In terms of the PS5 price, you’re looking at $499.99 / £449.99 / AU$749.95 for the standard version of the console with a 4K Blu-ray disc drive. However, if that’s more than you want to spend, there’s also the PS5 Digital Edition, which doesn’t have a disc drive, and which is available for $399.99 / £359.99 / AU$599.95.

Which game will you be playing first on your PS5?
A
Ty
Th
high price tag for a standardized game experience but what pc could I get for that price
Vještica!
Demon's Souls remake was not a first party game. You guys certainly didn't do your research, again. Also the PlayStation Plus Collection is not supposed to be compared to Game Pass. PlayStation Plus and the collection is in competition with Games with Gold. PlayStation Now is the counterpart to Game Pass and it is cheaper with nearly 900 games.
You guys need to edit the best 4K blu-ray players and also in this video because the PlayStation 5 does have Dolby Atmos.
14 minute video this bum. Unbelievable. Shit could’ve been made in 3 minutes.

I love how wrong you guys get things. Started just reading your web page for a laugh and have just found you guys make videos also. Keep up the bad work, seriously.
Hello, with your permission, I will take some fragments of your video for my review in Spanish
obviously I'll give credits
I reckon the PS5 could flop,its an extremely lazy poor design that,there are hundreds of designs online far superior to this one,also the price is ridiculous.
X box is best
Fuk ps5
this guy sucks at narrating
Look at that thing!
It looks like something made for WOMEN! The PS4 is a MAN'S playstation!!
BRUTALIST.
UNCROMPROMISING.
PS4 PRO: The last REAL PlayStation!!!!
It's really hard to understand when you're not bothering to articulate at all. 🙁
Great review thanks.
ilike how this is trending in new
Are you on sedatives??
Ps4 pro i bought few years back says on the box 4k gaming but yet ps5 box says 8k , if the ps5 cant even do spiderman 4k60fps with raytracing how the hell is it gonna do 8k straight lies … imho ppl should wait for ps5 pro and should get the xbox series x now. Because ps5 is in the same gen as ps4 pro. Which is past gen !
Current owner of a PS4 & PSVita. I’m trying to get excited about the PS5 but the title lineup are boring. I think I’m going to wait 3 years and see what they do…After all they did Shut down Socom & Warhawk & completely said F the Vita so yea my money is saying in my pockets

Already a second dead ps5 unit
What game was that ??
Wait, you are not Croatian and your last name is not Vještica? (TheWitch)
Cuz if you are, you're pronouncing your last name bad af.
What time on the 19tg is it out for uk
Is there emulation to allow you to play your PS3 library like Microsoft has with the Xbox Series X? Really disappointed Sony abandoned that system's games with the Playstation 4.
There's a special container for the screw in the stand to put it when detached.
but xbox is about the same weight.
short and fat vs tall and slim
Apart from quicker loading times I really can't see the difference in graphics from the ps4
The real reason the system slows down is cuz….. YOU GOT 400 FUCKING GAMES ON IT!!
HELL, I'D SLOW DOWN TOO, LMFAO
