Review : PS5

The best gaming console ever by Jesse Lebold

The PlayStation 5 is the best and most powerful gaming console available right now , if not ever . It supports up to 8k graphics and the games run very fluidly . The controller also is very powerful and features customizable sound and vibration options . The powerful processing of the controller makes it run silently and cool to the touch . Overall , this is a huge step up from the PS4 .

Graphics
With an AMD Zen 2 processor that supports up to 8k graphics and 120 frames per second , graphics look smooth and flawless . The Xbox Series X , which was released nearly the same time as the PS5 , supports only 4k graphics .
Price
The listed price of the digital edition is $ 399 and the disc version is $ 499 . Due to the popularity of the PS5 coupled with the worldwide chip shortage , the street price is around $ 840 as of writing this article . What a rip off !
Most blue-ray disc games cost around $ 59.99 , and digital versions bought through the PlayStation Store cost mostly around $ 30 .
Subscription service
People who just started using the PS5 and have a digital edition can try the Subscription service . It costs $ 60 per year and you can play up to 20 games while subscribed . Every month or two , you can download and keep games on your PS5 that will be able to last past the subscription .
Variety of Games
Over 4000 games are supported with backward compatibility . The console supports famous games such as Marvel ’ s Spider- Man , God of War , Horizon Zero Dawn , and Ratchet & Clank as exclusive titles .
I think overall this gaming console would be for someone that loves games or has depression . This gaming console can help you a lot . I recommend this gaming console because is very powerful , while it is at an executable price . Not only does it have amazing graphics and controllers , but it also has a huge variety of games to choose from .
