    Perfect. I waited 7 years and over 100 hours trying to taste this nectar. When I was finally able to hit that buy now button I felt like the 14 year old getting to see his first pair of heaven pillows.

    I tried to secure a ps5 from a dozen other websites before finally having a successful experience on Best Buy. Despite the traffic, the site worked fine and the curbside pickup couldn't have been easier.

    The Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition is every bit as awesome as the Disc Edition. There's really nothing you can't do with this version that you can do with the Disc version (besides discs, obviously).

    It took months of trying but it really was worth the wait. Theres not a single part of this system that wasnt improved upon from the ps4. My favorite part is the controls. SO impressive!!!

    Forget walmart, target, newegg, sonys direct queue, and forget amazon. This website is your best chance at getting a ps5 at this moment. If only these other websites did something similar to best buy...

    My nephew needed a game console. He begged and pleaded to get this one so we bought it for him. He really really loves it. I’m happy he’s happy.

    PS5 is amazing! It is definitely living up to all of the hype. I can't wait for a larger selection of games to come out for PS5 and for them to fully unleash the power of the system. It has so much potential!

    it was ok honestly. easy pick up. crappy PS buying process because of bots but not best buy’s fault.The one thing that made this console feel like a downgrade was the lack of web browser. i used it all the time in the ps4 and losing that feature almost made me return the ps5 but whatever i guess... less features, higher price. that might as well be every borderline monopoly’s logo @sony and @apple.

    This console is truly amazing. When paired with the pulse headphones, it creates an immersive experience that continues to push the boundaries of gaming. If you can get your hands on one, you will love it.

    Great Console! I wish they were easier to get, but I understand the situation. Great example of next-gen gaming, price seems standard for game consoles. Happy with my purchase!

    This PlayStation five review is because I generally like the product and not because I want the 25 Best Buy points I receive once writing this review and meeting at least 50 characters. LOUD NOISES

    What can I say, best investment I’ve ever made, my only complaint is the limited backwards compatibility list and my Samsung 1tb nvme isn’t supported yet. Hopefully Sony comes out with a patch to fix this soon.

    I got extremely lucky and snagged a PS5 before Christmas. I would say that consoles are getting closer to the PC world with 1440p-2160p games on 60 fps. 10/10 would recommend (if there are any in stock :( )

    Much faster then ps4 when loading all games. My only gripe would be the storage size. You will need a external ssd drive

    Its a good console today, the reality is there really isnt any PS5 games they are all PS4 games with a little more color and a sharper image. That being said in 2022 or 23 we should finally start seeing some PS5 exclusively developed games. I would recommend not buy this console unless you need to have the latest and greatest. Im sure there will be a Special Edition Metal Gear Solid PS5 or Resident Evil PS5 this December 2021 and id wait for that. At least then youll have a collectable.

    Obtaining one was so hard the whole world got the joke, but once I finally got mine, everything was perfect. The controller issue was a minor annoyance, but a warranty deals with that particular problem

    So glad I upgraded from my old Play Station to the Sony Play Station 5 it was well worth the money. I can play from the Cloud online or buy and use DVD video games. All in all its a great gaming console.
