Customer Ratings & Reviews

Rare rollout! I got super lucky - thanks, BestBuy! Excellent console, well designed hardware, easy setup - SONY crushed everything, well done. Smooth, no crashes, love the rechargeable controllers, if only the charge stand wasn't sold out. Cons would be large console unit size and awkward horizontal orientation stability, at least one title (non-SONY) that was rated E wont run full featured on a child account. So I would say that the family controls are not as robust/refined as they might be.

Oh Mah Gawd I’m still permagrinning from this console! I love it. Games look crisp. Load times are insanely fast. THE CONTROLLER THO If and when you can get your hands on when DO IT LIVE LONG AND PROSPER

Amazing console release by Sony where in my opinion has the better diverse exclusives than other gaming consoles. Def a step up from the ps4 and a step up in the speed department when loading different applications....it is a very large console and isn’t aesthetically pleasing. Also just a suggestion, I would say go with the disc console if you can get your hands on one, you never realize how bad you miss the disc drive to play physical media until it’s gone. The digital console is cheaper but if you have a pretty extensive dvd/Blu-ray collection then this is not the console you want(plus it seems physical disc games for the ps5 go on sale a lot faster than the digital offerings from Sony and other businesses

The PlayStation 5 has met my expectations and more! The console is definitely faster, picture is great and I love the controllers and how they feel in my hands. The only downfall is I wish it had more storage.

Upgraded to this from the standard PS4. Great performance and features, especially the new controller. Hopefully more games update to take advantage of the PS5 performance. It is a rather large console however.

Great gaming system, huge step up from the PS4 when it comes to performance. Storage is lacking, with how big games are now a days. Nice to see an m.2 SSD slot to expand storage.

One of the biggest selling points of the next-generation consoles is higher resolutions, snappier frame rates, and all-around better performance. The PS5 definitely delivers on these compared to what PS4 owners are used to, but just how drastic of a difference you’re looking at varies. You’ll need a TV that supports variable refresh rates and 4K HDR content to really take advantage of the graphics that the PS5 can spit out. But even on a more mid-tier television, content is looking better than ever. In-game textures seem way more natural than with previous-generation graphics and particle effects are pure eye candy. We’re not quite yet at life-like virtual worlds, but the PS5 surely delivers a large leap in the right direction.

This console is blazing fast! I love the fact that I can play all my PS4 games on the PS5, while some of them also get improved graphics and frames per second. Looking forward to playing the new spiderman on this!

The PlayStation 5 is huge the system is so fast the load times are so fast the controller feels great this is by far the best system PlayStation ever made The PlayStation 5 is a huge leap over the PlayStation 4

Whoever thought of using an Solid State Drive in a gaming system better have got a bonus cause that's the difference right now loading time. On my PS4 the loading time for Last of Us Part 2 was over 2 minutes but now that time is cut significantly. Make sure your TV and sound system is up to date because that helps you get the most out of this powerful and fast console. Only downside is the size of the SSD, but now that you can upgrade you don't have to consistently spend time deleting and adding games to the hub.

Don’t ever buy something this expensive for a boyfriend ever. Make sure he puts a ring on it first this was my mistake but I’m sure he’s enjoying this PlayStation immensely.

So far I am really impressed by this system. Graphics look great (and are just going to get better). Also, the controller is really amazing. The different kinds of haptic feedback it can create is impressive.

What a great product! Even though it took awhile to find online well worth the wait! Graphics are amazing and speed is real fast! The controller makes you feel like your in the game with its motion sensor!

The new Playstation 5 is a beast of a system. Right on the day I got the system it performed higher than my expectations. Although there were little bugs here and there, they seem to all be patched now which is awesome for those who are looking to purchase a PS5 sometime in the future. Playing at 4K 60fps is so much fun and it truly feels next gen. I would say one thing that really surprised me was the new dualsense controller, this controller is game changing! you feel every little detail right in the palm of your hands, the adaptive triggers are great too especially when playing shooting games. Overall, you will not be disappointed with this console. Highly recommend for those looking for a next gen gaming experience.

Blessed to have gotten one directly from Best Buy! Such a huge upgrade from my first gen PS4. Its leagues faster, graphics are better and controllers rock. Love the new ways to save gameplay as well!

I finally was able to get my hands on a PS5. I've been trying since they launch and was unsuccessful. Thanks Bestbuy. This console is amazing. The graphics, loading speed and the new controller is great!

As everyone already knows that these PS5 are really hard to come by. I got lucky grabbing mine from Best Buy within a 5 minute window when it was available. I’ve been a PlayStation fan since the first one that came out. So when PS5 was announced I knew I gotta get one. When I finally did the graphics and performance just blew me away on my OLED screen. Games are so smooth and the graphics are to drool at. For anyone looking to get the PS5 go get one if you can. This pandemic has made getting a PS5 and graphic cards a rare item this year. But once you get your hands on one you will not regret it. In my opinion it’s better then the XBOX even though I have one of those too..

Definitely worth the $500. Fast loading times, smooth frame rates, excellent graphics and performance, and lastly the DualSense adaptive controller. This controller makes the gaming experience more immersive with the haptic feedback technology. So what ever is going on within the game and on the screen, you feel the sensation through the controller. As far as controllers go, it is a game changer. Not too keen on the design and shape though. But that is by no means a deal breaker.

Love how fast this system is able to load games, even previous gen console games loads up really fast. Just bought an LG CX and picture is crisp. The controller with adaptive triggers feels great.

Fantastic Console, I have been a Sony playstation Fan since the 1st generation. By all means try and get the disc version, even older PS4 games play a bit smoother than the PS4 Pro. To get the full capability out of this console you will need a true 120hz Native TV 4k or 8k and must have at least 1 HDMI 2.1 port. This will allow true 4k@120 again on games that support 4k 120 you will truly be next level Gaming. Also the SSD storage is about 800gbs which certain games will eat that up quickly. So add at least an extra 1TB/2TB SSD stick to expand the storage for PS5 Games. I also recommend getting a external hard drive and connect via USB for PS4 Games
