This is my first Digital PS5 after owning two Disc variants, and I can honestly say, why pay the extra for the Disc model?I personally own way more Digital games than Disc games which is honestly way more useful with this console anyway. If you have a lot of games collected from PS Plus or anything like that, then I find this to be the better option unless you really have a lot of discs. This digital model is also noticeably lighter weight and thinner than the disc variant which makes it easier to fit in more areas on your desk or entertainment center.Now, as far as the PS5 itself goes, this is the best console in years. It is the first genuine upgrade that we have had, in my opinion. The DualSense adds a whole other level to immersion in games as the haptics are able to accurately recreate the feel and sensation of whatever is on screen- from walking in snow, walking in rain, having heavy wind blowing around you, to playing an FPS like Call of Duty, you will feel it all as how it would feel in real life. Additionally, the DualSense also has all new adaptive triggers that are endlessly programmable by the developers as I have seen them respond and react in so many ways. In Call of Duty and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, every in-game weapon has a different level of tension in the triggers and different haptic responses when you use them, and in Horizon: Forbidden West you can feel the tension of Aloy's bowstring when you are using her bow. Not to mention, Ghost of Tsushima and the feel of Jin's horse galloping across the land and the clash of your katana when parrying enemies. All of these haptics and trigger sensations make games stand out more than ever compared to classic rumble motors, and as someone who predominantly plays on PC with mouse and keyboard, the experience is just so much better when using this controller as it makes it feel all that more immersive.Now, aside from the DualSense controller changing the way games feel, the SSD is also the most noticeable improvement compared to older consoles. Games load so much faster than they ever have and it makes most games have non-existent loading screens and near instant fast travel. In Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the fast travel system no longer has a loading screen and you can instantly teleport to another district in literally two seconds. No more sitting around for 2-3 minutes waiting for a game to load, as now the games wait on you.When it comes to graphics, they are much better than the previous generation, but not as much as I would like. While most games do finally have a 60Hz or higher option when it comes to frame rate, most games are still locked at 30-40 FPS when set to 4K resolution quality modes or 60 FPS at a 1080-1880p resolution. However, if you use a compatible display with VRR support, the PlayStation 5 will uncap the frame rate in supported games and allow your display to fully utilize its power for a higher FPS. For example, God of War: Ragnarok is locked at 60 FPS in performance mode on most displays, but on my VRR compatible monitor, that FPS cap is removed and I get around 85-90 FPS on average and it makes the game feel much smoother. The PS5 also allows certain PS4 games to run at a higher FPS as well which helps breathe new life into older games. Aside from that, visually the games are an improvement over the last generation, but PC gaming still has it beat on this front.The PS5 is also much quieter compared to the last gen. Despite still putting out a lot of heat, the fan in my unit is virtually silent and isn't distracting at all which makes it a great console to use to record and stream in my studio space.Overall, if you like to collect games on Disc then maybe this isn't for you, but with the massive PS Plus games catalog, constant sales on the PS Store, and more, I honestly think I prefer this Digital version over the Disc version. If you haven't experienced next gen consoles yet, then you will be more than happy with the upgrade to the PS5. With improved loading times, better graphics, and next level immersion with the new DualSense controller, I highly recommend giving this a try.
