Okay, so I finally got my hands on the PS5 Digital Slim and... wow. Just wow. The unboxing felt like Christmas morning – DualSense controller, cables, even a pre-installed game (ASTRO’s PLAYROOM is adorable btw).

The 1TB SSD is *chef’s kiss*. Games load stupid fast compared to my old PS4. Like, ‘blink-and-you’ll-miss-it’ fast. The controller? Those adaptive triggers had me shook when I first felt them in action – pulling a bowstring in Horizon actually feels tense now!

Small gripe: Why isn’t the vertical stand included? Had to buy it separately which felt kinda cheap for a premium console. Also, transferring data from my PS4 was weirdly glitchy – ended up using a USB drive like it’s 2010.

But man, that sleek design? Silent operation? The way Spider-Man swings at buttery-smooth 60fps? Worth every penny. Just wish backward compatibility worked better with my PS3 classics.
