PlayStation 5 Console - Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Bundle (slim)

Greetings, fellow gamers! Gather 'round as I recount my leap into the realm of PlayStation with the illustrious PS5 Bundle. As someone who's long been immersed in the world of Xbox, I couldn't resist the allure of Sony's latest offering, and boy, am I glad I made the jump. Let's kick things off with a nod to the PS5's design. This thing is a marvel to behold, sleek and futuristic, commanding attention in my entertainment setup like a true centerpiece. And with a whopping 1TB of SSD storage, I've got all the room I need for my ever-expanding library of games, without having to endure those dreaded load times. Now, onto the real meat of the matter – the performance. The PS5 doesn't pull any punches, delivering jaw-dropping 4K visuals and buttery-smooth frame rates that breathe new life into every game I play. And let's talk about that SSD – it's like greased lightning, ensuring I spend less time waiting and more time doing what I love: gaming. But hold onto your controllers, because the real star of the show is the DualSense. This thing is a game-changer in every sense of the word, with its immersive haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that elevate every gaming experience to new heights. And with backward compatibility, I can revisit old favorites with a fresh perspective, like catching up with old friends over a round of drinks. Of course, no review would be complete without addressing a few bumps along the road. The limited storage space is a bit of a downer, especially in today's world of massive game downloads. And let's not forget the price tag – while the PS5 is worth every penny in my book, it's definitely an investment. And then there's the hunt for the elusive console itself. Scouring the internet for availability felt like navigating a labyrinth, but let me tell you, the payoff was worth it. Sure, the PS5's size might be a tad imposing for some setups, but once you fire up that first game, you'll forget all about it. In conclusion, the PS5 Bundle has exceeded my wildest expectations, converting this die-hard Xbox fan into a true believer. So if you're on the fence, take the plunge – you won't regret it. Happy gaming, folks!

An Amazing Gaming Experience with a Small Learning Curve! Thank you, Amazon, for this wonderful gaming station! I purchased the PS5 through Amazon resale and saved a significant amount of money—totally worth it. I got Spider-Man with it, and the game is absolutely fantastic! The graphics are so immersive that sometimes I feel like I’m inside the game. I don’t play daily, but on weekends, it gives me the perfect reason to stay home and enjoy some quality time with myself. The controller is also excellent, providing a smooth and responsive gaming experience. Initially, I faced an issue where the console kept turning off unexpectedly. After watching a few YouTube videos, I realized it was due to ventilation issues. Keeping it away from the wall and turning it off properly using the controller (instead of directly switching it off from the main power) solved the problem. For anyone facing this issue, I’d recommend checking your console’s exhaust/ventilation and always shutting it down the right way. Now, everything works perfectly, and I’m loving my gaming sessions! Would highly recommend both the PS5 and Spider-Man to any gaming enthusiast!

This was the best thing I could have bought my son! He loved it! Quality is superb and the speed is amazing. The sleek design is also a plus! Definitely a good purchase!

I really like the console. Looks elegant, is fast, has good memory space and response time. Really enjoy my gaming time with it

I love this product.

I play and use it often. I’m getting my money’s worth out of its entertainment.

By pure accident, this arrived 8 years to the day after I bought my PS4. 8 years is a pretty good run for a console, but I figured it was time to upgrade, and I've been quite pleased with the results. Up front, the bad: the slim has a bit more storage than the "fat" PS5 but I worry that I'll quickly run out of space. And that's it. That's the extent of my cons list. The good: outrageously quicker load times. I've been playing a lot of Fallout 76. On my PS4, it would routinely take upwards of 45 seconds to "fast" travel. I got in the habit of grabbing the phone and scrolling social media while it loaded. On the PS5, it's more like 10 seconds, tops. Usually much less. I've also been playing the new(ish) God of War and load times are almost immediate. It's uncanny. I've got an older TV (probably 2012) and even still, the graphics are a significant step forward. Ultimately, it's everything I loved about my PS4, except better. There's not a single area where I feel like they took a step back except in storage...I had a 1 TB Black Ops 3 edition and would have liked the PS5 to beat that without resorting to aftermarket help. Otherwise, the controller feels better in my hands and has some cool bells and whistles (integrated mic, multi-function giant button, etc.), the load times are vastly improved with the SSD, and the games look better and run better.

So far it's been working great I would recommend it to anybody that hasn't been on a PS5 yet the experience is amazing especially compared to the PS4. Sony was a little chintzy on there box they package it in. No handle like the last version, thin as well and the little circle piece of tape likes to break when they ship it from bouncing around in the box so it looks like it's been open but the tape is so thin that's a common problem. When they made the PS5 Slims they use one of three possible fans I unfortunately happen to get a slim with a loud fan but it's not terribly loud it just made me think something was wrong with it when I first bought it but after doing some research I realized that they have three different types of fans they use due to lack of parts so some may be quieter than others some may be louder but it's completely normal and the sound goes away after a while mostly just gets really noisy the first start of putting a disc in. Probably the only complaint I would have is I feel like the Wi-Fi connection is weak on the PS5 slim that could just be my model I know they use different fan parts for different Slims so maybe they use different Wi-Fi connectors but it likes to disconnect from the Wi-Fi frequently one playing online not frequent enough for me to carry a whole lot however I am thinking about trading it in before the warranties up the internet will have a very strong connection running 10 times the required speed one would need to get online but yet it likes to disconnect from the internet everything in the house stays connected just fine just the console sometimes goes out and upon doing further research people are saying it as a regular occurrence. Overall it's a great system. Also another big issue is all of the usb A are in the back right where all the heat exhaust is for the console where the fan blows the heat out so if you have any Wireless accessories like I have the Pulse Elite headset you have to plug the dongle in the back of the system and sometimes it overheats and disconnects the headset so you have to unplug the USB dongle and replug it in it only has a couple USB seasons in the front and a few USB A's in the back
