The PlayStation 5 is one of the most coveted items of 2021. Even months after release, you’re still hard-pressed to find one in-stock at full price. It’s even more difficult to track one down during the holidays.
But is it actually worth putting all your resources into picking one up? We put Sony’s new console on trial, investigating the pros and cons. Join us to discover if it’s worth the $500 price tag (watch video).

We cover the important questions:

  • “What’s different from past generations?”
  • “Is the PlayStation 5 worth buying?”
  • “What’s better?”
  • “What’s worse?”
  • “If you already own a PS4, do you need a PS5?”

Once you hear the answers, if you decide the PS5 is a must-have, check out this list we put together to help you find one (because they are hard to find). In fact, if you do plan on finding one before the holidays are upon us, you might have to spend a pretty penny. It’s either that or ensure you have the fastest fingers in the West. Once these consoles come in stock, they’re gone in the blink of an eye.
Luckily, that’s why we’re here. We’ll make sure you know when and where to nab a PlayStation 5. Even if you think you might not be ready to make the jump, you might want to keep an eye out. If you have friends or family who need a console, you could end up making their Christmas by putting one back. Or you might be able to get a PlayStation 5 at a pittance, which is always good news.
