The Sony PS5 (PlayStation 5) Console was released in North America November 12, 2020. The console was sold out within minutes of being released at local retail stores. This would certainly be one of our top gift idea recommendation for last minute gifts this Christmas. Unfortunately many retail stores such as BestBuy and Walmart do not having any PS5 in stock until 2021. For many the only chance of obtain a PS5 is to check online.
The PS5 console unleashes new gaming possibilities that you never anticipated. Experience lightning fast loading with an ultra-high speed SSD, deeper immersion with support for haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and 3D Audio, and an all-new generation of incredible PlayStation games.
Sony released two versions, PS5 Console and PS5 Digital Edition. The PS5 Console allows backwards compatibility with PS4 disc Games. The PS5 Digital Edition is an all-digital version of the PS5 console with no disc drive. Both PS5 Console and PS5 Digital Edition allow backward compatibility with PS4 discs and digital games.
Also both include PlayStation VR integration. Connect your PlayStation VR to your PS5 Console or PS5 Digital Edition to enjoy supported digital PS VR games. To set up your PS VR with your PS5 Digital Edition, you’ll need your PlayStation Camera for PS4 and a PlayStation Camera adaptor. Another great feature is cross-generation chat with PS4. Whether your friends are on PS4 or PS5, cross-generation voice chat means everyone can keep the conversation going with their account for PlayStation Network. You can even chat with players on mobile devices who have PlayStation App.
Conclusion
This is the must have gift for every child, teenager and husband. So which ever you pick, we recommend both versions on our last minute gifts list this Christmas. If you can’t find a PS5 at your local retail store, make sure to check online.
