I've wanted a PS5 for a while now. Ironically, it has less to do with any PS5-exclusive games
(you can count those on one hand, pretty much), but after getting a 4K TV, I wanted to see
just how big of a difference there was in my existing PS4 library...plus, I wanted a PS5 anyway.
Given the problematic microchip shortage (still aching to get a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, thanks
scalpers), I wasn't confident in getting one of these anytime soon, not to mention the rampant
scalping that is still ongoing. When I heard about Amazon's invitation approach, I thought "what
the heck?" and gave it a shot. I got my invite days later, and pulled the trigger.
I got a month of the Premium Plus membership, which I also heartily recommend, especially
for those who are just starting too dip their toes into video games. It's a real good deal. Played
through all of Dark Pictures: Little Hope and Ys IX, and a few game trials and more. It's at its
best on the PS5, BTW. The system is excellent, but I should mention that at this time, it's
essentially a "Super PS4 Pro". I know that this is consistent with new systems, and it appears
that current global events are putting the stranglehold on more innovation, but I am glad to see
some really awesome PS5 games coming soon, especially Alan Wake 2, Street Fighter 6,
and more.
I've just gotta say it. The system looks weird, and weirder still on its side. It comes with a
base that does the job, but like my wife described it, it looks "melted". My own opinion, I think
it's too much design, but don't judge a book by its cover. The system and interface is exceptional,
and gameplay is wonderful. The controller has even more heft to it than the PS4 DualShock,
probably thanks to all the little motors in it delivering haptic feedback. This takes a lot of getting
used to, but it's so novel that I'm more intrigued by it than anything else.
I'm really glad to get one of these, even if it was at full MSRP. (I usually wait for Black Friday
deals, but given the current climate for microprocessors and the demand of these, I wasn't
counting on this for at least a couple of years.) For anyone who has struggled to get one, really
just request an invite. No obligation, but mine literally shipped and arrived the day I ordered it.
No other business is even coming close to as (frankly) elegant way of fighting the scalpers on
this front than Amazon. Now if they would just do the same for those Raspberry Pis, I'd be thrilled!

When I was finally able to get my hands on a PS5 console my kids wanted to get straight to
playing the games and skipped a lot of the setup. Lots of freezing and bugs initially made me
think I had a hardware problem and needed to return it but tunrs out we just needed to update
the firmware. PS has fixed a lot of bugs and I can't stress how important updating the console is
before you play - just update it first and save yourself the frustration.
The console iself is quick, graphics amazing - everything you would expect but the thing I took
notice of the most is the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers of the new pad... you'll just have
to expeience it yourself. The price is a bit high especially since most consoles are now coming
from resellers. Amazon has implemented some new policies for invite-only and seems to be
getting control over this now but even at MSRP $500+ after tax is steep.

Given the price I was really skeptical that this was legit and not just a PS5 box full of rocks. I
was so happy to get the invite (less than a month on the list) and make the purchase. The box
arrived perfectly fine and the system works great! The kids are loving it! I didn’t have a grand to
drop on a system so I was really happy to be able to buy this for us at such a great price.
