Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great PS5! The retro look really stands out and makes it a collector’s dream, especially as a 30th Anniversary Limited Edition. The digital edition runs smoothly, and the performance is top-notch, just like the original PS5. It has plenty of storage for games, and the sleek design fits well in any setup. The controller feels amazing in-hand and is super responsive, which makes gaming even better. Highly recommend this console for anyone looking for a mix of nostalgia and cutting-edge technology!

Besides going to pick it up in store, at the Hialeah location, upon receiving at the counter the tape was perfectly cut as if someone used a cutting tool to rip it. But as soon as I got to my car I checked over all the contents and everything was perfectly fine. Miss when PlayStation used to release special editions for certain games back in the day so I felt like the current PS5’s out were very lackluster but man oh man this console is a beauty down right to the little accessories you get with it! The remote is freaking beautiful and the console itself gives you a bit of a nostalgia feeling as if you’re playing on your very first PS1! If you’re a gamer and love PlayStation this is for sure a must have in my book. But if you don’t have the chance to i most definitely recommend at least grabbing the remote! Again to add, only downside is that you’d have to buy the disc drive separately since it only comes with the cover not the actual disc drive itself.

This ps5 looks great and the little extra accessories it comes with are nice bonuses. My only gripe is that it doesn't come with a disk drive by default but it does come with the cover.

Ps5 30th anniversary slim is awesome, for 499.99 you get a ps1 grey colored ps5 with a matching metal stand, and a 30th anniversary poster with 30 different versions I got the version with would’ve been playstation logos as a logo designer I couldn’t be happier with what I got, the console is beautiful and will be on full display for myself and any guest that come to my home to see :)

I purchased this 30th Anniversary PS5 from Best Buy Store # 338 and received it by mail. It shipped fast and the box was packed very well when opening. First of all this console is a beauty. Harkens back to the 1st PlayStation generation being gray. This PS5 came with everything I needed, except the disc drive which I purchased separately from Best Buy and not from scalpers. In the box was the system the vertical stand the charging cable and a dual sense PS5 controller.My system was easy to set-up because I did have a PlayStation account and then I was able to download my games without any issues.This PS5 does put out 4K video to a compatible high definition television with 120 Hz refresh rate, and my set up is on an LG OLED TV, which Best Buy has many to choose from. I have C3 65” and G2 77”. I’d HIGHLY recommend the Best Buy Total protection plan as it covers all your purchases including video game consoles. If anything goes wrong that can’t be resolved, Besy buy covers it for 24 months and will make it right!

Have never owned a product like this in a while and growing up playing on the PS2 slim and now having the 30th anniversary it’s really shocking how time flies. I could only wish that they had PS2 games backwards compatibility. Then it would really become full circle all and all great product well worth it.

[Employee of bestbuy] Love the design. Reminds me of the great PS One days. Comes with the 30th anniversary dualshock controller and limited edition charger and cable ties! Any PlayStation fan would love it.

I wanted the pro but stoked to get this I plan on keeping this for many years! Love something collectible and usable!

Playstation 5 is great! The 30th Anniversary console is just a regular PS5 digital edition console, but with the 30th Anniversary Limited Edition looks for nostalgic purposes. As a gamer and collector who has been gaming since before Playstation existed and has been through the entire lifecycle of Playstation, from PS to PS5, it is a memorable piece of hardware that will most likely increase in price over time. The 30th Anniversary edition console will remain sealed in my collection as it is not an item that can be purchased anymore without paying exorbitant prices.

Fantastic PS5 Anniversary Edition! I absolutely love the design and how everything was put together to celebrate the 50th anniversary. The attention to detail is incredible, and the entire package is pure nostalgia. From the console’s design to the thoughtful presentation, it truly feels like a tribute to the legacy. Thanks to my store representative who help me get one!

For all you retro heads out there, this is the Playstation for you!! I bought a PS5 slim earlier this year (2024) but when i seen the 30th anniversary announced i knew i just HAD to get one!!! I missed the preorder window, but to my surprise Best Buy gave everyone a 2nd chance! Perfect console and perfect timing just in time for the Holidays! Merry Christmas you filthy animals!

Ive purchased Playstations for years from PS1 to PS5 and everything in between. This one is special not only is it my 2nd PS5 but what makes it that much more is it's homage to the OG PS1 which my mom got me when I was a kid. Im 35 now with 2 kids and still very much into video games. So happy I get to share the adventures with my son.

The PS5 is already a great system, and I couldn't recommend more for gaming. The looks of this 30th Limited Edition in person is so much nicer. It's way better than expected. They did a phenomenal job on this design. If you can then get one!!!

I love the design and the retro PS vibe! I’ve been a console gamer ever since and i was so excited when i heard that they will release this edition. Felt luck as well to acquire it since it’s already sold out minutes after ut was released

Excellent shipping and on time. thank you for the fair launch of the 30th anniversary. Happy to have it safe and sound in my house. The performance and appearance are awesome

Love it so far. The option to change theme to multiple previous views of ps1 and ps2 and ps3 brings back so many memories. I have it set to ps1 look and with the design it really feels like 20 years ago

Love the look! Never had a limited edition of anything, so I’m so happy I was able to get one of these from the Best Buy app during a drop. Looks great in my setup and the nostalgia hits hard!

This is such an amazing PS5 30th anniversary limted edition system for all ages. Thank you sony for having the absolute best electronic store best buy to sell such an excellent nostalgic console.

They should have made more of these type.. I have been playing PlayStation since I was 14 years old.. Can’t pass my age now lol but it is a good machine..
