Geek Squad Refurbished Good - PlayStation 5 Console

got this ps5 on the july sale this year and purchased it for 399.59 us dollars which was significantly cheaper than over ps5s on the market i’ve had it for about a month and i can confidently say this is a product worth buying however i only experienced one issue with the ps5 is that it was overheating way to quickly my friend told that they overheat but this ps5 was overheating in the first 5 ish minutes of booting up the ps5 it was completely shutting down however i did some digging opening up the plates and found giant clumps of dust through the ps5 once i removed the ps5 was working pretty good and only overheating after playing for 5 plus hours which is normal so you will probably have to throughly clean it again even though geek squad assured it was thoroughly clean also the ps5 come in a giant cardboard box and the faceplate had a few marks and scratches on it but nothing to major

Ordered one of these ps5s and was excited to start it up and play. Taking the console out of the box, immediately you could tell the console was extremely dirty and smelled bad. There was sricky gunk all over the console itself, plus the controller bad brown build up all around the triggers, thumbsticks and in the seams, and the left thumbstick cover was ripper. Plugged in the console, it booted up, but the controller did not work, you can push the little PS button all day and it would do nothing, and then the console would green screen snd shut off. Got a 2nd one that seems to be working alright, but it didnt come with the stand. Do better bestbuy.

One of the things I really dislike about the PS5 is the controller; it isn't as durable as the controllers I have had. I have had the PS5 for a little over a month, and I've dropped it like twice, not much of a drop, and that's all it took for my controller to get stick drift, and that's another thing I dislike. Also, the PS5 is really sensitive to overheating, as if it needs a better fan; it seems like it's not powerful enough. Other than those two problems I've noticed and disliked, the PS5 is a great console, and I love the smoothness of gaming, and the movement and response time is on point and faster than I expected. Not to mention the new design of the PS5 controller; I didn't like it at first sight, but it turns out that it's very comfortable and I actually took a liking to it since it was similar to the Xbox controller, which I've never taken a liking to, but this design is more comfortable to the grip l

I was skeptical at first buying this console with some of the reviews I read. However once I got it out of the box, I was impressed with the condition and performance of this PS5. I even opened it up to see how well it was cleaned. There were some slight scratches and blemishes, but that's to be expected with any previously owned console. The galactic purple color was an added bonus. I've seen in previous reviews some customers getting different designs and colors, so I'm overly excited about this purchase.

PS5 and controller had a couple scuff marks and signs of wear and tear (as expected from a refurbished product), but they perform really well. No pieces were missing, and set-up was a breeze.
