PlayStation PS5 Console – God of War Ragnarök Bundle

A major step up from a PS4 PRO (and previously, PS3)……faster and better graphics….
UPDATE 1/26/2024:After using the 4K DVD player functions of the PS5, I’ve got to say that the over-all quality of resolution and clarity of 4K Blu-Rays beats my stand-alone 4K DVD player by a lot! The PS5 has a a very clear, noise-free output that simply excels for graphics, gameplay or whatever the PS5 is displaying. Sony did a superb job with the video output hardware of this 4K console and it will not disappoint. My stand-alone 4K player s currently in storage. If you want to see 4K Blu-ray media at its very best, the PS5 is the way to go for a do-it-all console!—————————————————————————————————————————–I’m not going to review the Amazon selection or delivery process. I’m just going to briefly review about why I upgraded to a PS5!First the negative……. my PRO was compact and reasonably designed in a flat symmetrical style…… The PS5 throws out the space saving rule book in favor of waves and advanced looking style and it’ll not fit where your PS4 PRO was if it was in a tight space.Be aware that although the PS4 and PS4 PRO had 4K HDMI output for games, those PS4 models were limited to playing only 1080 Blu-Ray or regular definition DVDs. The PS4 will not play 4K Blu-Ray disks. Why Sony left that feature out, who knows! The good news is the PS5 DVD deck plays 4K movies to their full resolution. (as well of course as Blu-Ray 1080 and lower resolution/standard def DVDs). Now I only need my PS5 in the living room to cover it all rather then the 4K blu-ray player I had to use along with my PS4 PRO.I own several PS4 games and have yet to purchase any PS5 games.Let me say that my PS4 games play better on the PS5 then they did on the PS4 PRO. Graphics are superior, speed to access any menu or just in game play is much faster and these PS4 games take on a new and improved view on screen on my 65″ 4K hdtv!I can only imagine how great games specifically designed for the PS5 will be to view and play.My initial perspective on the PS5 compared to my PS4 PRO is that although the body design for the PS5 sacrifices space and fit for cosmetics…… the PS5 blows away my PS4 PRO (my PS4 PRO is using an upgraded 2 TB SSD for more capacity and much faster access/read speed than a spinning hard drive)…..Speaking of SSDs and upgrades; the PS4 used the common SATA 2.5″ internal SSD for upgrading capacity and speed. (But) The PS5 has a soldered in ~860GB internal SSD which can not be removed. Sony added one slot for expanding the hard drive capacity using rather a plug-in PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD over a conventional SATA connected hard drive. Thus, the PS5 allows you to not replace the original hard drive, but, to add an additional on-board SSD instead.Typically, the soldered-in or card type SSDs are a bit faster then using a SATA based protocol connection and given the PS5 requires a very fast solid state hard drive, they designed it so you install an additional PCIe type SSD over replacing just the single hard drive as it was done in the PS4.Be advised that (some) PS5 games take 2-3X more capacity then a PS4 game did. Perhaps why Sony designed the PS5 to add more capacity by using a second expansion slot rather then like the PS4 just having only one slot to use for the total capacity.Google PS5 SSD upgrades and there’s much info out there regarding how many games you want to be able to store on the console and how large an upgrade you need to do accordingly!Everything on the PS5 is faster……..everything……menu, access, games …graphics are better in detail, clarity…….I could go on.The other thing the PS5 asks you to do when you first set it up is a complete setup for display for best gamma, brightness, contrast, color, etc……it takes you through a complete and easy set up to -maximize- the quality for display on your HDTV. It made a huge difference on my Samsung 65 inch 4K TV.5 Stars all around! Read the pro AND owner/user reviews on this new PS console. Yes, it is worth upgrading.The ps5 is a totally new and better gaming console. It’s the first to be backward compatible with PS4 games, …something my PS4 PRO would not allow for my PS3 games. So if you have a PS4 game collection, don’t get rid of them!If you own a PS3, PS4 or PS4 PRO, yes, it is a worthwhile upgrade and substantial evolution for the PS Game Console series. You will not be sorry for upgrading and a big upgrade it will be!

Have both PS5 and 2 Xbox Series X. Both consoles A+
Since I have both consoles and have no bias, I’ll tell you what I like about this console.Graphics: A+ (Same as Xbox) amazing + fastController: A+ (Better than Xbox) definitely higher quality. Both are comfortableUI: A (Personally like it better than Xbox) Feels more streamlined to me, but similar to XBoxIf you want to try a game out to test performance, I’d recommend God of War: Ragnorak. The game has top reviews across the board and you will be mesmerized by the graphics and smoothness. I literally didn’t progress for a long time because I was stopping to look at all the details and clarity. Mind blowing how far things have come. A+ investment/Showcase Final thoughts: Regardless of choice, PS5 and Xbox series X offer improvements over their predecessors. Better graphics and WAY faster speeds. Load times are not an issue anymore and never have I noticed having to wait for anything. That is probably the best improvement in terms of upgrades other than graphics quality. Wether you get PS5 or Xbox series X, you’ll be happy. The only reason to choose one over the other comes down to 2 things:-Exclusive games for the console-What consoles your friends have to party up. (Sometimes this won’t matter, but it’s based on the game and crossplay)

What are you wait for? If you get the invite, go for it.
Nothing else much to say other than Amazon sent me a invitation request for it on the 10th of December. And with the quickest hands in the west and the power of a credit card, snatched one up. Actually did get an invite for the regular one without the bundle not just once but twice, back in June and even further back during February. Skipped out though mainly because most of the games I cared for was multi-platform. But that’s besides the point because as a lot of the futures games that I am eying are now making the jump towards this generation of hardware, PS5 Xbox Series X level, I figured I would go for it. Plus it came with one of my most anticipated games so that was a big push.But yeah product wise, everything came as advertise: Console, kickstand, a controller, HDMI, USB C and a Power cord. On start up you have the option of copying over your data from the PS4 in terms of content, save data and games. It doesn’t get rid of it, just a straight copy. I skipped this option though since I had most of my games on an external Hard drive. Fun fact is that you can change and share that same hard drive between the PS4 and PS5 and it will work vise versa as long as it’s on the same account. So on the PS4 side, if you have a External Drives, makes it easy to store your PS4 games. And you want to save your PS4 games somewhere else because the main storage , although a good amount, can easily be filled.But yeah, very happy with my early personal Christmas Gift to myself and can’t wait to check out more games with this nice SSD! Also the controller and its haptic feedback does make a subtle nice experience that you definitely have to feel. Sounds like a gimmick but it’s completely in the background while adding to the experience.

Llegó a tiempo, en perfectas condiciones y el código del juego funcionó perfecto. Mi hijo feliz y al mejor precio comparado con otros sitios.

Lo conseguí a un muy buen precio, regalo de cumpleaños de mi hijo, lo recomiendo sobre el X BOX por que al menos los controles con recargables, consejo: si también lo utilizas para contenidos de plataformas de Streaming hasta del control remoto que esta al rededor de los mil pesos es mejor que manejarlo con palancas del mando estándar de video juegos
