    Wish there was a USB type-A on the front, but thats the only functionality issue I have with the hardware. As far as software, I'm not a fan of the menu. The GUI is a bit of a mess. the rows are not intuitive and its cumbersome to get to the things you want to get to. The PS3 had the best GUI and each generation seems to be getting worse. I also noticed how poorly integrated headphone volume is integrated. I was co-oping Bloodborne with a friend and had earbuds plugged into the controller. it is constant work trying to get the game volume and party volume balanced. I would have to manually change the game volume so it doesnt overpower the voice chat. Also, on PS4, if I was playing bloodborne and used the spotify app, the game music would automatically mute (a nice detail!). However, this feature appears to be lost on PS5 or perhaps it only works with certain PS5 games. The performance is obviously leagues ahead of the PS4 so no issues with running games. Its also easy to transfer saves from a PS4 to a PS5 with just a flashdrive. Overall, The UI and functionality is worse than the PS4, but performance is obviously leagues ahead, and I like the controller more.

    Bought the PS5 as a birthday present and it was a huge hit. The console is fast, quiet, and the graphics are amazing. Definitely worth the purchase and an excellent gift for any gamer

    Super fast, incredibly smooth performance, and the graphics look fantastic. The console is quiet and the DualSense controller feels next-level with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. A premium experience all around. Highly recommended!

    Although this item was the same price as other stores, I'm happy I'm protected with my total protection plus membership. that is one of the reasons we purchased it at Best Buy. We love the sleek futuristic look.

    I always thought that upgrading from ps4 to ps5 was unnecessary, I didn’t know what I was missing until I upgraded, great games and enhanced graphics and the controller was beyond my imagination.

    I like physical format so the disk player is a must. PS5 slim is a great gaming platform. I like the speed and performance of the system along with the responsiveness.
