Customer Ratings & Reviews

Coming from the regular PS5, I was really excited to see how games like GOW: Ragnarok would look with the beefier specs. I can confidently say that not only do some of my favorite games look better, but the higher frame rates make this worth every penny. And with the upcoming PSSR 2.0 update, it's only set to improve further!

In my 50s so old school gamer here. From Pong & Atari in the 70s & 80s to All Nintendos & Xbox... Sega Dreamcast, etc.. played or collected them all!! This is by far the best, both "under the hood" and developers. As also a 25-year game PC builder, This is the first time I've seen a console come close to the visual level I don't some of my higher end gaming machines. ie 7900XTX, 4090, 5090, etc...without the extreme video card costs ... as long as you're not a pro competitor. This 2TB pro version even matches the 6TB(with expansions) capacity of my Xbox Series X Galaxy Black edition. Another HUGE positive is that it uses M.2 SSD for expansion versus expensive proprietary cards like my Series X. The ONLY down side at all is, as a collector of special editions there is NONE for this, like the Ghost of Tsushima Edition for the regular PS5... I would take away half star for that...but after-market panels are available which I put on...

I got this ps5 pro in november for my own birthday present as I am unfortunately disabled with a auto immune spine disease called ankylosing spondylitis. Even though I am in pain 24/7 gaming really distracts me from the pain I am going through. I decided to get the pro despite me already owning the playstation 5 witb a disc drive because the launch edition ps5 I use to have had only 825gb of storage and I found out right away that really struggled with performance. I also have a gaming pc with a 7800x3d and a 4070ti super and I love using DLSS and raytracing at 4k ranging from 60-144 fps so I know how benefital a.i upscaling and raytracing features are and how much performance it brings. So thats why I sold my regular ps5 to get it. Now this ps5 pro comes with 2tb of storage more than 2x the storage of the ps5 launch edition. The gpu is technically almost 50% faster and this is whats interesting the regular ps5s gpu has 16gb of gddr6 vram however the ps5 pros gpu has 16gb of gddr6 memory and another 2gb ddr5 to run the systems os so the 16gb of gddr6 vram can fully be utilized in the pro version unlike the regular ps5.. Now a lot of people are complaining about lack of a disc drive which I dont think is fair to complain about it as all pcs dont come with a disc drive in fact most people with pcs use external disc drives. I plan on buying a external disc drive for the ps5 pro in the future. I can't now hecause of all the scalpers have them and its out of stock in most retail markets. However with ps plus premium there are so many games that you can download without the need of paying $70 for them most exclusives are now on ps plus premium with ps1-ps4 games also. I love how the pssr works it is not as good as dlss yet but defintly is better than fsr3 and i am impressed I was able to play gran turismo 7 @4k 120 fps on my hdmi 2.1 tv and it was impressive! I do not have a 8k tv so I wasnt able to test out the 8k@30 fps feature yet. But I love how I can play raytracing games on my console at upscaled 4k 60 fps just like I can do on my pc. I highly recommend the ps5 pro to anyone who doesnt even have a ps5 yet.

So far i really like this system. I upgraded from my original PS5. So far it seems to load faster and the graphics on majority of the games i have been playing look much more crisper. Plus I am glad i have more storage after i installed my 2tb ssd from original PS5. Was glad it was plug and play to switch it out. Now i have 4tb in memory.

As a loyal PlayStation fan and a long-standing Best Buy customer for nearly two decades, I was beyond excited to purchase the PS5 Pro from my favorite retailer. While the experience began with a small hiccup, it ended up reaffirming why I’ve trusted Best Buy for so long. The first PS5 Pro I received had issues with artifacting and freezing during gameplay after installing the disc drive attachment for any pshycial games. For a gamer who values performance, this was disappointing. However, Best Buy handled the situation perfectly. The exchange process was smooth and hassle-free—no questions asked. Their commitment to making things right reminded me why I’ve chosen to shop with them for nearly 20 years. With my new PS5 Pro in hand, I can confidently say it’s a game-changer. The stunning graphics, seamless performance, and lightning-fast load times make it a console worth every penny. Paired with the immersive DualSense controller, the PS5 Pro delivers an unparalleled gaming experience. And best of all, my disc games no longer freeze the system. This entire process has only deepened my trust in Best Buy. Their customer service is top-notch, and they’ve once again proven why they’re my go-to for tech and gaming. If you’re thinking of getting a PS5 Pro, I highly recommend Best Buy—they stand by their customers and deliver excellence.

A nice little upgrade that you will notice on some games more then others. Hogwarts legacy and silent hill 2 you'll definitely notice with the ray tracing which is nice. Some games arent that noticeable graphic wise but FPS definitely goes up. Still little annoyed didnt come with a stand. Is it worth the price. . . . . . You be the judge.

I have ever playstation. Playstation 1,2,3 and 4. Best I must say the Playstation 5 Pro is by far the best in my collection. Extremely powerful, tons of storage, and it has perfect graphic plus endless amount of game titles. This is a must buy from best buy !

The most powerful PS5 there is. I notice the difference with the speed and graphics with this than my previous PS5. The storage is also very appreciated. Very well performing machine. Love it. Worth the extra money.only thing I added was a disc drive so I can still play my game collection.

The ps5 pro is the best console money can buy currently. It is a great experience playing on this with my g4 oled. Compared to the launch ps5 or slim the visuals are somewhat better and the higher fps is always nice. Only reason this got 4 stars is for $750 retail does not come with a disc drive or the stand. For the price a little ridiculous it does not. However would still recommend buying this console if you have a nice oled or at minimum a tv with hdmi 2.1 support and 120hz for max fps.

It is really impressive in games that have uncapped frame rates and even improves the resolution in games that don't. On top of that, native ps5 pro ports are even more impressive with Spiderman 2 running at 40fps with VRR and fidelity ps5 pro mode. It is a little expensive and probably should have included a disc drive which is why I give it a 4 out of 5 but it is still good all around. It also transferred all the games from my m.2 drive in under an hour for twelve hundred gigabytes of data.

If you already own a PS5, I wouldn't bother paying FULL price for this device. If you don't own a PS5 right now, just buy this. You'll get a superior machine with a larger storage capacity right out of the box! I would also highly recommend getting the disk drive (unless you know without a shadow of a doubt that you're an all-digital gamer). I would recommend this console ONLY if you don't already own a PS5 (non-pro version) and are OK with the prospect of maybe forking over extra $$$ for a disk drive down the line. Performance is as expected, and you can find a million reviews breaking that stuff down on YT, so I won't bother going into it here. It's fast, it's snappy, and works well every time. Also, the fact that the "PRO" version of the console DOES NOT include a vertical stand and still includes the **standard** controller is not OK (at least throw in the PlayStation EDGE Pro Controller for the price that is being charged)! Recommendations: Sony NEEDS to upgrade the joysticks in their controllers to hall-effect joysticks so that controller-drift becomes a thing of the past. As a consumer, I'd wait for a sale/bundle deal (see if you can get the console and a disk-drive for a reduced price, or the PlayStation EDGE controller).

The PS5 Pro lives up to the hype. It is not just a slightly faster version of the original — it is a beast. The performance jump is noticeable right out the gate, especially if you are playing demanding titles in 4K. Frame rates are smoother, load times are almost instant, and games look cleaner and more detailed than ever before.

The PS5 Pro is by far the best gaming console I have ever owned. The speed is unbelievable—games load in seconds, and the 4K performance with high frame rates makes everything look stunning. The new controller feels amazing in the hands and adds so much to the gameplay experience. What I love most is how quiet the system runs even during long sessions. This console is worth every penny, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Highly recommended!

This is an amazing console, and I thoroughly enjoy playing PS5 Pro enhanced games with the added features it offers, such as ray tracing Pro and higher-quality resolution paired with higher frame rates. It’s an incredible gaming experience with this console. However, the price could be better since it’s quite steep at retail, and it doesn’t include the disc drive or a stand to set it up vertically if that’s your preference, which you have to purchase separately. In my opinion, the current price should include those items, and there should be a more affordable option that’s digital-only and doesn’t include a stand. Apart from that, I absolutely love this console.

I did a lot of research between the Xbox series x and the PlayStation five Pro and in the end I ultimately chose the PS5 pro and I’m glad I did so the overall picture quality definitely looks better and the amount of space that you get for storage is also better with the ps5 pro the gaming experience is awesome and the online subscription if you buy it, you get all kinds of cool extra features like demos two games that you can play as a tryout trial monthly free games they offer to you to download just so many cool options that come along with the PlayStation five Pro highly recommend this system you will not be disappointed!

Enhanced graphics, frame rate, storage, and connectivity. What more could you ask for? Sony knocked it out of the park with this one. Paired with an Edge controller, this console is the best gaming experience Sony has ever produced.

Absolutely blown away by the PS5 Pro! The upgraded performance with 8K resolution support and faster frame rates makes gameplay smoother and more immersive than ever. The new design is sleek and modern, and the expanded storage is a huge win for gamers who love digital download. If you’re looking for a next-level gaming experience, the PS5 Pro is worth every penny!

Nice upgrade from the first version more space faster and way lighter

PS5 pro takes it to the next level but you have to have a good TV to notice these changes. I have mine paired up with a Sony OLED TV and games are much sharper without dropping frame rate using the most recent PSSR technology.

Absolutely love the PS5 Pro. I have a huge library of games and they all have improved graphics and speed. The ray tracing is notably, the most eye-catching edition to past and present games. Since there are so many amazing games and upcoming games to play. I've decided to just buy PlayStation Pro models of going forward. Highly recommend especially with the new slew of games coming out this year and next year they all are going to be optimized for the PS five Pro! Can't wait!
