I’m 54 years old and just got my first PlayStation period! Decided I needed something to do because I’m permanently disabled after suffering an incomplete spinal cord injury in 2015. I have a couple of friends who can’t wait to play against me and teach me lessons the hard way. I’m ready to learn!
I got mine yesterday, The first thing I played was Astro and I almost cry dude, I've been playing since 9 years old with a ps2 and now I'm 20 with a ps5 it's something incredible. Also, your video helps me a lot. Keep up the good work ;)
I bought myself a PS5 for Christmas this year and I have to say, it's my favorite console that Sony has released. To everyone waiting to get a console, I hope you get one soon and to everyone that managed to get one, I hope you enjoy your new console! Merry Christmas, everybody!
Just received mine last Friday from a ps direct drop. Just amazed at how whisper quiet and refined this first gen PS5 is. This is a great video for beginners.
Nobody really knows the jump from ps4 to ps5 until you own one. It's absolutely bonkers. Only after a month I went back to play my ps4 and it felt old and cheap to me.
@@user-sn8zx5mv1x its been out for over a year. 13.4m units sold. It's just that scalpers and the scarcity of chips have made it hard for everyone. But I have at least 3 other friends that have one. Its just a matter of staying on top to get one. Always make sure you have 400 or 500 (plus tax) in your bank. Be a ps plus member and have the correct email for it. Constantly look out for anything ps direct. I'm not saying this about you, but after months of people complaining I have a small sense that some of these people are just complaining to not be left out of shitting on a company. There's probably a good amount of kids on youtube participating in this conversation while not even owning a job or any way they could get their hands on a ps5.
I’m late to the party, but with the release of the Slim I finally decided to buy a PS5. As of this moment it’s on the back of a truck set to be delivered in a few hours so I’m binge watching Mystic’s PS5 videos. Thanks for all the tips & info!
Man this is really nice of you to go through all this trouble for new PS5 owners. Very generous! This video is very informative and helpful. Thank You Mystic!!
Very generous of him to make a video he knows will do well because people will have been given PS5s for Christmas? This is YT 101. There is no kindness at all on his part lol.
@@canashi5728 why you worried about another man’s pockets ? You butt hurt that he makes more than you with one video than you do in a week? Don’t be sour.

The audio and video are top quality, I'm brazilian and I understood every single word that have been said, which can be a challenge on tons of videos simply for the audio quality + english not being my first language. Finally, and more important: awesome guide, I got my PS5 a month ago and there was a lot I didn't knew. Thanks!
Great starter guide Mystic! Just want to mention that for folks who are hooking up PSVR, a quality passive USB 3 hub will help. There are only two USB ports on the back of the PS5, and PSVR requires two connections (one for the camera and another for the processing unit). A USB hub helps keep a rear port free for a USB HDD or SSD for those PS4 games.
I tried that with my ps4 and would get an error sometimes that it couldn't support all those devices plugged into one port at the same time. Is this no longer an issue on ps5?
Finally bought a PS5 and set up today. I love the slick and modern feel of the UI. Felt right at home with it. Smashed out a couple of hours of Astro's playroom to get familiar with the dual sense control and will start the new 'The last of us part 1' as my first proper game. Looking foward to it.
Lucky astro didn't crash on you. Does help to have all consoles (ps5 disc and lite for the switch/xbox series s or xbone if you need physical given rare if xbox series physicals not on ps5 and no imports) to cover shortcomings and not pay for an SSD that only assists. UI is a pain: activate download in rest mode and turn off microphone for haptics/triggers is an awful way to learn about settings the hard way. At least subtitles turning to default on helps some games. God of war ragnarok PS5 at least saves you money compared to buying ps4 version for stupid $10 upgrade and triggers are a pain sometimes if you feel tired of them reacting to a charge or lock on. Horizon forbidden west ps4 has a free physical upgrade and goes on sale a lot, but helps if you already bought God of war given the stock to generally not have ps5 by itself can be ridiculous sometimes.
@@LicoriceCamo have you played it? In my opinion last of us 2 is an amazing game. Playing the abby’s perspective in the game is also amazing, understanding the story is the main motive here. Great game and great story
I was finally able to get one through the PlayStation direct and I love the fact that they made it so much easier to get to everything internally to clean it. That was one issue with the PS4, carefully tearing it apart just to get to the fans and heat sink to remove dust, then trying to put it all back together haha
Same Lol. After a year of trying and fighting the universe, I finally got one from Walmart website and it be arriving sometime this week. Really looking forward to it
Yeah, I managed to get the Plat trophy for Astro’s Playroom within about 2/3 days of installing it. It was so good and I loved all of it including the graphics, design, simplicity, uses of the controller, and going through a little history trip.

Been following and watching your channel for ages but i didnt even have a PS4 or 5 but now i have this so, here i am on this video haha. Thanks for all your hard work Ryan!
I totally agree! Astro's Playroom is a wonderful game and you put it best: "It's like playing through Playstation history!" I really loved it and i got the platinum trophy for it as well! (Probably like many others.) But still, it's really cool to have it on such a great and beautiful game! 😎

@@cmarco3702 Yeah, absolutely. Well, of course, i understand not everyone goes for a platinum trophy. But it's such a great game i went through it completely. I mean, it's not that i only play easy games either. I went through Bloodborne as well. Love that game btw. I bought the collector's edition of Sekiro, but i couldn't finish it. That game (for me personally) was really hard. But i loved the overall game! Anyway, gonna stop rambling now! 😃 Wish you a Merry Christmas! 🎄 🎅🏼
@@DBLCreations you too i will try seikiro maybe later honestly that's my first sony console since psp so i'm playing the game they offered ps5 owner god of war is amazing i want to try seikiro later too
Just got my PS5 after almost one-and-a-half year of waiting. It‘s awesome, as is this video. The feature of global game settings is genius for someone like me who always had to adjust controller settings to ‚invert vertical camera motion‘. This video is as relevant as it was when it was published! Keep up the good work!
That's insane,a year and a half wait! Hadn't they made any lol. I called the local shop the other day to see if they had any in stock,as I didn't wanna wait 4 days to get one off ebay lol. But shop was outta stock,said won't get more for ages...which is weird,because there all over ebay. And I'm pretty certain there were stacks of ps5s for sale on ebay even a year ago. I better hurry up and get one before the ps5 pro comes out lol or ps6
@@thisgoddamusernamestoodamnlong yeah mine was saying 99+ hrs to transfer everything, but if you connect the lan cable between the 2 consoles it's much faster...did it in 30 min I think
Finally got a PS5 today and this video helped a lot! Astro's Playroom blew me away. I really wasn't expecting a tech demo to be that much fun. As someone that's been gaming since the PS1, I loved the tributes and call-backs to all of the past PlayStation consoles and accessories. Now I'm playing through the Director's Cut of Ghost of Tsushima and am in awe of how beautiful the visuals are. Thanks for the helpful vid and happy playing to all new PS5 owners :)
I bought mine a couple of days ago and waiting for the package to arrive. I'm killing the time by watching your videos. These will be useful in a short time ☺️
Thank you for this video Ryan!! You are the man! I was lucky enough to get my ps5 on December 16th after literally trying over a dozen times to get one! Merry Christmas!! And anybody out there still trying to get one, keep trying!! I know it’s hard and discouraging, but just keep trying cause this thicc boy is worth it!!
PlayStation 5. Can’t wait to get mine come Christmas time, I’ve been putting some money aside every now and then to be able to afford it around the holiday season. Gonna have fun with the homies
Was able to finally get one on the 31st of December and am very impressed. I got an Xbox Series X the week before so it's been quite an awesome couple of weeks. Love the new PS controller and picked up the new Ratchet game as my first game and spent the entire weekend having a blast playing it. My Spider-Man PS4 pro has moved to the bedroom and will probably not get used much but it's such a nice looking console, it's definitely sticking around for when I'm stuck in the bedroom for whatever reason. Glad I waited it out and didn't pay scalper prices but the console is definitely worth buying at retail.
Thanks for the tips and tricks. Especially the one about how to use the stand for a horizontal orientation of the console. But wow, I bought the PS5 for my 10 year old, things have come a long way since my Atari 2600 in 1981. I would rather go back to that :)
Good video covering most things a person new to a PS5 needs to know. The plastic stand supplied is fine for vertical placement, but unsecure if placed horizontal, I replaced mine with a third party stand, which is much better. Secondly, I would avoid 3d audio for tv speakers as it muddies the audio, stick with stereo, 3d audio works fine with headphones, though.
Finally got my hands on a PS5 Saturday. Gamestop got a drop and it was a bundle. After watching this video I'm happier it was a bundle got games, headset, and extra colored controller. I'm now going through these videos to make sure I get the most out of it. Thank you for making such great and useful content!
@@dis6wood You sure buddy? Because i saw people on reddit bricking their console because of an bug with the controller, and many other bricked consoles because of some bugs. Its not that common but it definitely happens.
Already had my PS5 for a few months at the time of this video being released, but it’s still an awesome video that I wholeheartedly agree with. Especially with firing up Astro’s Playroom asap. It’ll make you fall in love with the DualSense within the first five minutes. When I first had my PS4 I loved it. I thought Sony had hit it out the park. Though over time and numerous system updates it became a little janky. Fine in games, but frequent lag on the dashboard. The PS5 is fast and sleek as the day I first fired it up. The PS Store baked in is a game changer. PS4 compatibility is near flawless. I haven’t encountered a single game in my collection that doesn’t run as well (better even) than it did on my PS4 Slim (FFXV Edition). I also vastly prefer the UI. Simple, yet powerful enough to have everything you need (especially since they updated the social section in the quick menu). No theme support, but you’ll spend so little time on the main hub screen that it doesn’t matter and each game as you select on kinda add their own flair much like with the PS3. If I already saw this vid and commented before…then oops, I guess.
I switched from b Xbox Series S to a PS4 Pro in 2017 and I'd been using the same console up until a few weeks ago when I sold it and bought a PS5. I was ecstatic...until I got a Xbox Series X a week ago. The PS5 and the HDR on my TV weren't getting along well and no amount of tweaking would rectify the issue. Everything in HDR looked really washed-out and bland. The Xbox however, it automatically adjusted my TV settings perfectly and even turns on my TVs Game Mode when a game starts. Games and TH-cam look amazing. From a standby state the Xbox takes 3 seconds to fire up and be ready to go...the PS5 takes noticibly longer. Xbox has Game Resume. But the thing that put the final nail in the PlayStation coffin was Game Pass Ultimate. $1 for the 1st month and $14.99/mo after...and you get more games than you can imagine. GOOD games too, in fact there were many games on Game Pass that I already paid for on PS Plus just recently and that was a bummer. With Game Pass Ultimate you also get all the EA titles and the Xbox Gold stuff. It's just ridiculous. So, after having both consoles here together for almost a week I sold the PS5 (with an extra controller) yesterday to a young couple for 500 bucks and I plan to get another PS4 (I have over 350 games on my PS account still) but probably won't worry about a PS5 until the Pro model comes out. That's just my experience though, I'm not trying to crap on PlayStation or Sony... although they're getting a little censorship-happy these days... I just wanted to share a perspective from an actual player that had both systems at the same time and could compare them in realtime. And trust me I wanted my PS5 worse than anyone and it killed me to have to accept that the Xbox was the better machine (for me and my TV at least) especially after selling my PS4 Pro and my MacBook Pro to buy it.
Just got mine in the mail and this is a huge help so big thanks. It's been about 8 yrs since I bought my PS4 and it's weirdly intimidating to jump into a new console.
I'm getting a PS5 today! First one I've ever had, been a PC gamer for a couple of years now but it's time to make the switch to consoles. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you for this, just got my very first playstation ever so some of these tips were really helpful. Its crazy how different the UI is compared to Xbox.
Great video Mystic!!! This was a big help for the first startup and configuration of the ps5….finally have one after years of wanting and trying to find one😩👍🏻
Mystic, thanks so much this was an extremely informative start up guide. I just purchased my GOW console a day ago and you answered many of the questions I had. Take care!!!
NEW PS MEMBER HERE.. i have owned the older models like the first model and ps2 & 3 but my older brother and dad are microsoft guys so i was influenced by them and have been with xbox since 360 and i currently have the xbox one s..i decided if i should get the series x or the ps5 and i generally like the hype around it. I ordered a ps5 from stockx yesterday and im happy that i will soon own one..now i just have to get ready for the big switch.
This was a really good and detailed video, so few people actually show the UI, menues and navigate the software and spend way too much time showing the same physical ssd slot and ports everyone else has already shown.
@mystic I would just like to say thank you. This video was very informative, concise, and well produced. It did not feel like 15 minutes had gone by when I finished watching yet there was so much useful info packed into the video. Thank you very much for your hard work, it is certainly appreciated!
Just got my PlayStation for Christmas and this video helped so much, love astro's playroom with the classic call backs and use of the adaptive triggers.
Just ordered a PS5 last night and im very very excited. Ive had my PS4 slim since 2016 and im glad that i can finally let it rest. Im already looking at a TV to upgrade too
Just got my 1st Playstation since the PS2. Been all in on Xbox, with minor dabbling on the Wii and Switch only to be let down. Work at Target and got in 4 consoles today and told myself if it's still there when I leave, I'll buy it. Got sucked into Astros Playground and played a bit of Miles Morales and omg it's such a good time. It's just taking a bit to get use to the lack of configurable settings and the controller.
To be honest I’m actually still happily enjoying my ps4. Society always make us believe we need to get the next best thing instead of being happy with what we have. Not hating or anything, I can afford one, but I’m just happy with my 4.
Ngl man, my PS4 has been a beast for so many years. But coming over to the PS5, with 4k at 120 fps and 60 fps for games, load times are almost nonexistent, I freakin love it! Obviously had to pay more for it with everything going on but holy crap man it is amazing
@@Clintoniumer oh yeah I’m sure it’s wonderful, i just don’t feel like I need one right now. But Thanks for replying. I’ll eventually give in and buy one lol
I loved my ps3 especially the free multiplayer but unfortunately PS canceled that. 😭 I ended up getting the PS5 prior to that I have the xbox1? Although, to be frank all of Microsofts games can be played on a gaming PC. So, PS upgrade was the logical choice since I can now play PS3 multiplayer games. :3 like God of War Ascession. It retained all my information and stats from about 10 years - AMAZING. PS5, will be there when you are ready.
@@PandaSap hey bro I got GT7, updated my ACC to ps5, Modern Warfare 2.0, migrated some of my ps4 games over too. Only fit about five decent games in the SSD and keep the rest in the library. An chop and change over time. Will upgrade the SSD capacity in time though
Okay, I'm not gonna lie. The stand being able to hold my PS5 vertically was a big surprise for me. I honestly never knew that and I've had my PS5 standing vertically without it. I always wondered if there was a 3rd party stand that I could buy to help support it because I thought it was only meant to hold the PS5 sideways. Man, I feel like the world's dumbest human being in existence.
I didn't sleep on Astro. I actually play it with my son (6yrold) and I like how you mentioned it's a walk through PS history and I'm glad I got to experience that with him.
I'm also gonna join the crew here and say that I too recently got a ps5, it's a huge step from the crappy laptop I bought in 2016 that struggled to even run fortnite and genshin impact, playing fallout 4 and Destiny 2 with high fps is such a blessing. ❤❤❤
Definitely useful information. Going to see about making some changes. Have only played mine twice since Christmas. Didn't know what the Astros playroom was, thought it had to do with the streaming services or saving videos from the games- pretty sure I uninstalled it to free up space since mine was almost full after installing 7 games with all the updates. Had to order an internal drive. So I'm waiting for that now. Which external drive are you using? I grabbed my 1tb that I never used and tried to save games to it but it was taking 17 minutes for a smaller game. I can't wait that long to transfer games back and forth. I even bought a new cord for the usb-c port still taking about 15 minutes. Thanks for the info.

Just got a PS5 a few days ago and this video is fantastic to get me started and accustomed to the new UI. Thank you for making this compilation video!
You know, even though I have had one for over a year, I'll still watch.
Same lol
I have one never play it
@@orangecookie3132 what do you do with your time then?
After a long wait. I finally got myself a PS5. Been away from console for over 5 years. This video help alot. Thank you Mystic. Just subscribed
Tomorrow starts a new era of gaming, i am hyped to get this baby
Happy Christmas Ryan and everyone reading this 🎄
Just got my PS5 after almost one-and-a-half year of waiting. It‘s awesome, as is this video. The feature of global game settings is genius for someone like me who always had to adjust controller settings to ‚invert vertical camera motion‘. This video is as relevant as it was when it was published! Keep up the good work!
Same just got mine yesterday🙂
That's insane,a year and a half wait!
Hadn't they made any lol.
I called the local shop the other day to see if they had any in stock,as I didn't wanna wait 4 days to get one off ebay lol. But shop was outta stock,said won't get more for ages...which is weird,because there all over ebay. And I'm pretty certain there were stacks of ps5s for sale on ebay even a year ago.
I better hurry up and get one before the ps5 pro comes out lol or ps6

Just opened up my PS5 today. This was very helpful. Thank you, and merry Christmas.
Finally got a PS5 today and this video helped a lot! Astro's Playroom blew me away. I really wasn't expecting a tech demo to be that much fun. As someone that's been gaming since the PS1, I loved the tributes and call-backs to all of the past PlayStation consoles and accessories. Now I'm playing through the Director's Cut of Ghost of Tsushima and am in awe of how beautiful the visuals are. Thanks for the helpful vid and happy playing to all new PS5 owners :)
The PS5 is my first console and your guide is just perfect for someone like me, thank you!
I bought mine a couple of days ago and waiting for the package to arrive. I'm killing the time by watching your videos. These will be useful in a short time ☺️
For real I’m waiting for mine and this past week couldn’t be any longer🤣
I just got my PS5 yesterday and came here now... Very helpful info...
Thank u so much and have a great Xmas 💖
Thank you for this video Ryan!! You are the man! I was lucky enough to get my ps5 on December 16th after literally trying over a dozen times to get one! Merry Christmas!! And anybody out there still trying to get one, keep trying!! I know it’s hard and discouraging, but just keep trying cause this thicc boy is worth it!!
PlayStation 5. Can’t wait to get mine come Christmas time, I’ve been putting some money aside every now and then to be able to afford it around the holiday season. Gonna have fun with the homies
Got ps5 last month. Currently playing it on my samsung full hd TV. Planning to upgrade my tv to oled 4k soon.
Significant item missed here:
When you uncover the ps5 there is a spot where dust purposely collects that you are supposed easily vacuum out.

You trolling
Nah he not trolling there really is
@@llvertexlI yeah
Ryan always got the most useful vids
Was able to finally get one on the 31st of December and am very impressed. I got an Xbox Series X the week before so it's been quite an awesome couple of weeks. Love the new PS controller and picked up the new Ratchet game as my first game and spent the entire weekend having a blast playing it. My Spider-Man PS4 pro has moved to the bedroom and will probably not get used much but it's such a nice looking console, it's definitely sticking around for when I'm stuck in the bedroom for whatever reason. Glad I waited it out and didn't pay scalper prices but the console is definitely worth buying at retail.
I just got mine. We don't have much money, so the fact that I even got one is a miracle. I am subbing for future reference.
first time PS owner really helpful video!
Thanks for the tips and tricks. Especially the one about how to use the stand for a horizontal orientation of the console. But wow, I bought the PS5 for my 10 year old, things have come a long way since my Atari 2600 in 1981. I would rather go back to that :)
Yeah my old commodore 64 was the shit...
Good video covering most things a person new to a PS5 needs to know. The plastic stand supplied is fine for vertical placement, but unsecure if placed horizontal, I replaced mine with a third party stand, which is much better. Secondly, I would avoid 3d audio for tv speakers as it muddies the audio, stick with stereo, 3d audio works fine with headphones, though.
What 3rd party stand would you recommend?
@Adrian I ordered a fastsnail horizontal stand; it may not be the best, but it works for me, no issues since.
@@joet6434 still working well for you?
@@shawndahjohnson737 yeah, no problems, does the job & was relatively cheap. No disc problems laying horizontal.
Finally got my hands on a PS5 Saturday. Gamestop got a drop and it was a bundle. After watching this video I'm happier it was a bundle got games, headset, and extra colored controller. I'm now going through these videos to make sure I get the most out of it. Thank you for making such great and useful content!
how many headsets can you connect to one console? i just bought PS5 for my husband and my son, should I buy two headsets?
Ordered it on Saturday! And it arrives Wednesday I'm counting down the days!
getting mine on friday. can't wait play ghost of tsushima
Launch day owner here. You new guys are lucky that many of the little issues have been fixed lol

Never be a beta tester duh, as if you never learned, since the ps3 and 360, its common knowledge.
@@freshnesbro3792 it was never anything that bad on this system
@@dis6wood You sure buddy? Because i saw people on reddit bricking their console because of an bug with the controller, and many other bricked consoles because of some bugs. Its not that common but it definitely happens.
@@freshnesbro3792 not my particular console. Never had any serious issues and I played it a lot. Still works great
bro I just got one this christmas, success
I thought that the stand was only for having it stand up vertically, so it’s interesting that it could also be applied for horizontal setups
My 2 nephews got the PlayStation 5for Christmas it is brilliant
Just pre-ordered a PS5 and will be getting it next week. Thank you for all these tips and tricks
Already had my PS5 for a few months at the time of this video being released, but it’s still an awesome video that I wholeheartedly agree with. Especially with firing up Astro’s Playroom asap. It’ll make you fall in love with the DualSense within the first five minutes.
When I first had my PS4 I loved it. I thought Sony had hit it out the park. Though over time and numerous system updates it became a little janky. Fine in games, but frequent lag on the dashboard. The PS5 is fast and sleek as the day I first fired it up. The PS Store baked in is a game changer. PS4 compatibility is near flawless. I haven’t encountered a single game in my collection that doesn’t run as well (better even) than it did on my PS4 Slim (FFXV Edition).
I also vastly prefer the UI. Simple, yet powerful enough to have everything you need (especially since they updated the social section in the quick menu). No theme support, but you’ll spend so little time on the main hub screen that it doesn’t matter and each game as you select on kinda add their own flair much like with the PS3.
If I already saw this vid and commented before…then oops, I guess.
I switched from b Xbox Series S to a PS4 Pro in 2017 and I'd been using the same console up until a few weeks ago when I sold it and bought a PS5. I was ecstatic...until I got a Xbox Series X a week ago. The PS5 and the HDR on my TV weren't getting along well and no amount of tweaking would rectify the issue. Everything in HDR looked really washed-out and bland. The Xbox however, it automatically adjusted my TV settings perfectly and even turns on my TVs Game Mode when a game starts. Games and TH-cam look amazing. From a standby state the Xbox takes 3 seconds to fire up and be ready to go...the PS5 takes noticibly longer. Xbox has Game Resume. But the thing that put the final nail in the PlayStation coffin was Game Pass Ultimate. $1 for the 1st month and $14.99/mo after...and you get more games than you can imagine. GOOD games too, in fact there were many games on Game Pass that I already paid for on PS Plus just recently and that was a bummer. With Game Pass Ultimate you also get all the EA titles and the Xbox Gold stuff. It's just ridiculous. So, after having both consoles here together for almost a week I sold the PS5 (with an extra controller) yesterday to a young couple for 500 bucks and I plan to get another PS4 (I have over 350 games on my PS account still) but probably won't worry about a PS5 until the Pro model comes out.
That's just my experience though, I'm not trying to crap on PlayStation or Sony... although they're getting a little censorship-happy these days... I just wanted to share a perspective from an actual player that had both systems at the same time and could compare them in realtime. And trust me I wanted my PS5 worse than anyone and it killed me to have to accept that the Xbox was the better machine (for me and my TV at least) especially after selling my PS4 Pro and my MacBook Pro to buy it.
So you time travelled to 2020, bought the series s and go back in time and switched it for ps4 pro in 2017? Man that awesome..
Just got mine in the mail and this is a huge help so big thanks. It's been about 8 yrs since I bought my PS4 and it's weirdly intimidating to jump into a new console.
I'm getting a PS5 today! First one I've ever had, been a PC gamer for a couple of years now but it's time to make the switch to consoles. Thanks for the tips!
Today i slept 8-9 hrs during my exam weeks,cuz i was dreaming Of playing in ps5 at my house, i also remember i was playing GOW 3, was damn happy😊😊
Glad I watched this video since I'm getting a PS5 soon, all because my PS4 decided to have a heart attack.
Thank you for this, just got my very first playstation ever so some of these tips were really helpful. Its crazy how different the UI is compared to Xbox.
Great video Mystic!!! This was a big help for the first startup and configuration of the ps5….finally have one after years of wanting and trying to find one😩👍🏻
Mystic, thanks so much this was an extremely informative start up guide. I just purchased my GOW console a day ago and you answered many of the questions I had. Take care!!!
Had my ps5 for seems couple yrs now, its been great, absolutely no issues, quiet as the grave, fast, its just amazing…
Then why the ominous ...
NEW PS MEMBER HERE..
i have owned the older models like the first model and ps2 & 3 but my older brother and dad are microsoft guys so i was influenced by them and have been with xbox since 360 and i currently have the xbox one s..i decided if i should get the series x or the ps5 and i generally like the hype around it. I ordered a ps5 from stockx yesterday and im happy that i will soon own one..now i just have to get ready for the big switch.
This was a really good and detailed video, so few people actually show the UI, menues and navigate the software and spend way too much time showing the same physical ssd slot and ports everyone else has already shown.
Congrats to anyone to managed to get one it’s a incredible console and I love it . Enjoy I have both X box series X and ps5 .
So excited I can finnally watch one of these for a reason!
Nice! Yeah it feels good when ur tech is up to date and secured a ps5.

Just got my 1st Playstation since the PS2. Been all in on Xbox, with minor dabbling on the Wii and Switch only to be let down. Work at Target and got in 4 consoles today and told myself if it's still there when I leave, I'll buy it. Got sucked into Astros Playground and played a bit of Miles Morales and omg it's such a good time. It's just taking a bit to get use to the lack of configurable settings and the controller.
To be honest I’m actually still happily enjoying my ps4. Society always make us believe we need to get the next best thing instead of being happy with what we have. Not hating or anything, I can afford one, but I’m just happy with my 4.
Ngl man, my PS4 has been a beast for so many years. But coming over to the PS5, with 4k at 120 fps and 60 fps for games, load times are almost nonexistent, I freakin love it! Obviously had to pay more for it with everything going on but holy crap man it is amazing
@@Clintoniumer oh yeah I’m sure it’s wonderful, i just don’t feel like I need one right now. But Thanks for replying. I’ll eventually give in and buy one lol
I loved my ps3 especially the free multiplayer but unfortunately PS canceled that. 😭
I ended up getting the PS5 prior to that I have the xbox1? Although, to be frank all of Microsofts games can be played on a gaming PC.
So, PS upgrade was the logical choice since I can now play PS3 multiplayer games. :3 like God of War Ascession.
It retained all my information and stats from about 10 years - AMAZING.
PS5, will be there when you are ready.
Also, the graphics are noticably different and fully utilize 4k especually the Ghost game. It's like playing a CGI movie. It's insane.
I don’t even know why I’m watching this even though I already got my PS5 a month ago now. Maybe I like Ryan too much, goddamn it.😭
Same had mine for almost a year and here I am lol
I got mine last Christmas and I’m watching this lol

Okay, I'm not gonna lie. The stand being able to hold my PS5 vertically was a big surprise for me. I honestly never knew that and I've had my PS5 standing vertically without it. I always wondered if there was a 3rd party stand that I could buy to help support it because I thought it was only meant to hold the PS5 sideways. Man, I feel like the world's dumbest human being in existence.
I didn't sleep on Astro. I actually play it with my son (6yrold) and I like how you mentioned it's a walk through PS history and I'm glad I got to experience that with him.
I'm also gonna join the crew here and say that I too recently got a ps5, it's a huge step from the crappy laptop I bought in 2016 that struggled to even run fortnite and genshin impact, playing fallout 4 and Destiny 2 with high fps is such a blessing. ❤❤❤
Definitely useful information. Going to see about making some changes. Have only played mine twice since Christmas. Didn't know what the Astros playroom was, thought it had to do with the streaming services or saving videos from the games- pretty sure I uninstalled it to free up space since mine was almost full after installing 7 games with all the updates. Had to order an internal drive. So I'm waiting for that now. Which external drive are you using? I grabbed my 1tb that I never used and tried to save games to it but it was taking 17 minutes for a smaller game. I can't wait that long to transfer games back and forth. I even bought a new cord for the usb-c port still taking about 15 minutes. Thanks for the info.
