I’m 54 years old and just got my first PlayStation period! Decided I needed something to do because I’m permanently disabled after suffering an incomplete spinal cord injury in 2015. I have a couple of friends who can’t wait to play against me and teach me lessons the hard way. I’m ready to learn!

[chrisstyles]

To all those that got a ps5 today for Christmas have a blast playing & enjoy 👍

[Jhanluiemm]

I got mine yesterday, The first thing I played was Astro and I almost cry dude, I've been playing since 9 years old with a ps2 and now I'm 20 with a ps5 it's something incredible. Also, your video helps me a lot. Keep up the good work ;)

[devamaanasmanu]

Me watching without having a ps5 in 2024:
(Edit: I got one and the replies are still going lmao💀)

I bought myself a PS5 for Christmas this year and I have to say, it's my favorite console that Sony has released. To everyone waiting to get a console, I hope you get one soon and to everyone that managed to get one, I hope you enjoy your new console!

Merry Christmas, everybody!

[jaybsproductions]

Finally bought a PS5 and set up today. I love the slick and modern feel of the UI. Felt right at home with it. Smashed out a couple of hours of Astro's playroom to get familiar with the dual sense control and will start the new 'The last of us part 1' as my first proper game. Looking foward to it.

This video is top reference on how content is supposed to be done: After introdutory 20 seconds it jumps right into the tips, and only in the end he comments for the usual "Subscribe and Like". The audio and video are top quality, I'm brazilian and I understood every single word that have been said, which can be a challenge on tons of videos simply for the audio quality + english not being my first language.
Finally, and more important: awesome guide, I got my PS5 a month ago and there was a lot I didn't knew. Thanks!

[ethan]

To those who just got a ps5, enjoy! It’s an amazing console. Merry Christmas everyone!

[VSupercar]

Just received mine last Friday from a ps direct drop. Just amazed at how whisper quiet and refined this first gen PS5 is. This is a great video for beginners.

[jeffolson]

Really one of the most useful “new to an item” guides out there! Thank for taking the time to make it!

[jacechretin]

I just bought a PlayStation 5 and your video was the first one that pulled up when I searched for set up instructions and tips. Everything said and shown has been helpful and easy to understand, I will definitely be subscribing and watching your videos for more useful help on my fantastic Black Friday purchase.

[Good_Horsey]

Totally agree on Astro's Playroom. It's a very well crafted love letter to all PS fans, all the way back to the PS1.

[happyfappy]

Man this is really nice of you to go through all this trouble for new PS5 owners. Very generous! This video is very informative and helpful. Thank You Mystic!!

[MatticusFinch]

Just finally got a PS5 and i really like it, im not a fan of the massive size of it or the bent design but the UI and the controller and games are amazing. I hope they do a slim eventually but other than that i have no real complaints. It sits right next to my Series X. Been following and watching your channel for ages but i didnt even have a PS4 or 5 but now i have this so, here i am on this video haha. Thanks for all your hard work Ryan!

[gnp_kinggaming]

I was finally able to get one through the PlayStation direct and I love the fact that they made it so much easier to get to everything internally to clean it. That was one issue with the PS4, carefully tearing it apart just to get to the fans and heat sink to remove dust, then trying to put it all back together haha

[joaoluisaguirre]

I managed to got a PS5 here in Brazil (it’s going to arrive tomorrow) and I’m very happy! Thanks for the guide and happy holidays to everyone!

[Filmire]

Great starter guide Mystic! Just want to mention that for folks who are hooking up PSVR, a quality passive USB 3 hub will help. There are only two USB ports on the back of the PS5, and PSVR requires two connections (one for the camera and another for the processing unit). A USB hub helps keep a rear port free for a USB HDD or SSD for those PS4 games.

[Regretevator_scag]

finally after 3 years of waiting for the hype to die down i got a ps5 easily online... this video has been helpful setting my ps5 up

[dman]

I’m late to the party, but with the release of the Slim I finally decided to buy a PS5. As of this moment it’s on the back of a truck set to be delivered in a few hours so I’m binge watching Mystic’s PS5 videos. Thanks for all the tips & info!
