    Worth The Wait!

    I was finally able to snag one from the last restock. The console itself is absolutely gorgeous and has a fresh futuristic look compared to the Xbox. The set up was super easy. However, when transferring your ps4 data, I’d recommend just redownloading your digital games through your game library, or installing by putting the disk in. All of your info is linked to your psn account. I wouldn’t recommend transferring your ps4 data through wireless internet as it takes FOREVER. I’ve heard people say it’s lasted over 16 hours. All in all that, well worth the purchase and hassle of getting one. The loading times are lightning fast and the graphics are astounding.

    This is an amazing next gen console. Smooth gameplay, clear 4k graphics, and quiet operation. Digital version is perfect if you prefer not to buy physical game discs.

    First off, the controller is the coolest thing I have seen in awhile. Get one and play Astro's playroom. It blew my mind. The console looks like a space ship and definitely feels next gen, Love it

    Amazing gaming machine if you can find one. I do miss some you features from PS4. Controller is a huge improvement. Design wise I am not a fan but it is not too bad…just a bit weird.

    So glad I was finally able to purchase one. I ordered through the Best Buy app with no problems, and I picked it up from the store in less than a week. The console is great, and it's even better than I expected. I also loved being able to just plug in my old HDD to a USB port on the back, and all my PS4 games were ready to go with no download/install time. It's a lot bigger than the PS4, so I suggest checking out the dimensions so you'll know where it'll fit in your setup. The stand is easy to install. I have mine sitting vertically, but it goes on horizontally as well. Oh, I have the digital version, by the way.

    I love this system. It's fast and fluid. but my favorite thing about this new generation console is the Duel sense controller. It feels great in the hand and adds a lot of immersion to some games.

    A true generational leap forward. Not only in just the games themselves, but the hardware that comes with the system. The adaptive triggers on the control are truly next level. The immersion the hardware is able to create along with the software is something we haven’t seen in video games. The PlayStation five is truly pushing the envelope forward. From it’s interesting design choice, too it’s interesting color the PlayStation hits all the notes when it comes to next GEN. The only downside I will say that exist with this PlayStation, is the small storage capacity. Though I understand the limitation relative to the cost, it’s still has a bit of a nuisance.

    Beautiful games, super fast load times (if there are any), and a revolutionary controller. Loving it so far. Playing Spider-Man, Astro's Playroom, and my backlog of (now faster loading) PS4 games.

    Believe the hype. The PS5 delivers. From console design to controller no detail has been spared before you even load a game, and they load fast and look amazing.

    Continuing the tradition of amazing gaming set by playstation one, Comes to playstation 5, Not the easiest system to find at least during the holiday rush, But now stock is easier to get than before. The graphics are awesome But to me the control pad and the control pad features are what steals the show Every moment that I've used this machine from playing games to watching movies to viewing videos on YouTube has brought a smile to my face and makes my heart skip a beat. To say this system is bloody awesome would be an understatement I highly recommend purchasing Don't be taken in by scalpingKeep following Best Buy's website and purchase retail trust me you'll be happy

    After literally trying every week since November 2020. I finally got my hands on the disc version of the PS5. I tried every other retailer, but had no success, but Best Buy came through when it mattered the most. Everyone who is still trying, you just have to keep trying until you eventually get one. Follow the FAQ's on how to get either system for different retailers, and also have a decent internet connection too. Eventually these will be available here more often in the next coming year. The reason there hasn't been any available is the lack of supplies and components to make these systems, along with other computer parts. Just be patient and keep trying.

    The load times Are much faster due to the solid-state drive the haptic features in the controller are nice But unnecessary Overall the gameplay is much smoother
