I recently purchased my PS5 from Best Buy, and the entire experience was absolutely flawless. The pickup was smooth, fast, and well organized. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and even gave me tips on setup and accessories.
As for the console itself… WOW.
The PS5 is on a completely different level. The speed of the SSD, the stunning graphics, and the fluid gameplay make every moment feel next-gen. The DualSense controller is honestly one of the best parts, its haptic feedback and adaptive triggers make games feel more immersive than anything I’ve ever played. Even loading screens practically don’t exist anymore!
I’ve played both single-player story games and fast-paced competitive titles, and the performance has been consistently incredible. 4K visuals are crisp, the UI is smooth, and the console runs quietly even during heavy gameplay.
If you’re considering upgrading or jumping into PlayStation for the first time, this is 100% worth it, and Best Buy is hands-down the best place to get it. Excellent customer service, reliable availability, and peace of mind knowing I’m getting the real deal.
Absolutely love my PS5. Best purchase I’ve made in a long time!

I finally decided it was time. The PS4 had served faithfully with its humble 500GB, but the call of the PS5 now boasting a full 1TB was getting louder every day. Then Best Buy dropped an offer so enticing it would’ve been a crime to let it slip through the cracks. Decision made.
The plan had to be flawless. One discreet shipment, delivered to the house the very next day like a classified operation. No alerts. No suspicion. Just a perfectly timed arrival while Santa was still working on his list.
Packing up the PS4 for trade-in was surprisingly painless almost ceremonial. A chapter closed. Within days, the trade-in credit hit, sealing the deal and confirming that this mission was a success.
Christmas morning came… and let’s just say Santa didn’t stand a chance. Dad walked away with all the glory, a PS5 loaded with 1TB of possibilities, and a reminder that sometimes the real magic isn’t from the North Pole, it’s from a well-executed plan and a great deal.

Playing Fortnite on the PS5 is nothing short of incredible. The graphics are stunning, crisp, vibrant, and incredibly smooth thanks to the PS5’s powerful hardware. Load times are practically nonexistent, so you’re dropped into the action faster than ever. The DualSense controller adds a whole new layer of immersion, with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers making every moment feel more intense and realistic.
Whether you’re building, battling, or exploring, the gameplay is seamless and responsive. The PS5’s enhanced performance means no lag, even in the most chaotic firefights. Plus the audio quality is top notch, making it easy to hear every detail and communicate with your squad.

We purchased the product online and picked it up at our local Best Buy store. The whole process we quick and easy.
The kids were super excited and play it all the time.
We did purchase additional controllers (different colors) so each kid and guest had their own which helps avoid fighting over which white controller belongs to who…. I settled that by saying that was mine :)
Set up was simple enough and I did get the kids a PlayStation subscription so they could play the free games.
The system we purchased plays both the discs and digital games. If I were to purchase another I would only get the digital console since the PS5 only plays PS4 & 5 games and we don’t have any of these discs.

Buying the PS5 Slim was honestly one of the most satisfying gaming purchases I’ve made in a long time. The first thing that hit me was the design is sleeker and lighter than the original PS5, and it actually fits nicely into my setup.
Performance-wise, it’s exactly what you want. Games load insanely fast, everything feels smooth, and titles like Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarök.
I also really enjoyed how quiet it is. Even during long gaming sessions, it stays cool and barely makes a sound, which makes late-night gaming way more enjoyable.

The PS5 remains one of the best gaming consoles available, especially if you want impressive performance, fast loading times, and strong first-party/exclusive games. The Digital Edition is ideal if you buy/download games, while the disc version offers more flexibility for physical media. The PS5 Pro is excellent if you want the highest visual fidelity and performance, although it’s pricier.
Overall, it’s a solid choice for both casual and hardcore gamers alike — especially if you’re upgrading from an older PlayStation generation.

Had a Ps4 since launch and finally made the decision to upgrade. After seeing all the news about the delay for the next gen console due to memory shortage, this was the best option by far for me.
The speed, power and accessibility and now the lower price make this deal a match made in heaven. I love choosing 'Ps5 version' for all my playstation plus catalogue.
Remotes are great, batteries last long and the tactile feel of the buttons hasnt changed so it all feels familiar yet new.
Highly recommend for any gamer, the bundle with Fortnite included is icing on the cake.

My kids not a gamer he just wanted to broaden his likes. Getting started was difficult to the point he wanted me to return it but after connecting with friends who are gamers he’s been ok. There’s a lot of cost with everything he wants to do with this. He loves the game, it’s played on a SONY 75” he loves it.
The bundle was such a great investment, saved a lot of money. Always Best Buy for great deals

I had a great experience purchasing my PlayStation 5 from Best Buy. I originally bought the wrong version, but when I went back to exchange it, the team was extremely friendly, patient, and helpful, making the process quick and stress-free.
The PS5 itself is amazing—fast load times, incredible graphics, and a huge upgrade. I’m so happy I get to enjoy my holiday time with my new purchase. Overall, excellent customer service, and I would definitely recommend Best Buy!

Love how small it is compared to the big clunky one the first edition also like that it has a lot of storage and it’s compact. I would highly recommend buying it.

First shout out to the employee who took the time to locate the correct console as I wanted the one with a disc drive.
The initial start up did not take as nearly as long as expected, also you can load a game via disk at the same time it is updating and setting up. Graphics are great, the remote works across the room just fine. Easy set up. The one downfall is 1TB isn't a lot if you are going to be downloading games but being able to add external memory is great.

I have tried XBox one. I have been loyal to the Xbox brand for more than a decade until when all of the sudden my console stopped working. I decided to switch and instantly noticed a huge difference between the Xbox and PS5. Collors are brighter, gaming rates are better. Quality of the game controller better. Sony good job. The experience in the UI is unmatched.

I’ve had my new PlayStation since Christmas, and it’s been everything I wanted and more. The performance, graphics, and overall experience exceeded my expectations. I also love Best Buy the purchase process was quick and easy, and I wasn’t sure which option to buy, but both sales reps were incredibly helpful in narrowing it down for me. They even walked me through setting up my new system online and wrote the steps down so I could follow them later.

My boy is loving the PS5! Also, the process for the online purchasing and, subsequent, pickup at a Best Buy location, literally, on the opposite U.S. coast was simple and convenient. My son and his mother (in California) picked-up his PS5 within an hour of my online order at home in North Carolina. Good job, from start to finish, Best Buy.
