Customers are saying

Customers commend the product's top-notch overall performance, excellent graphics, and fantastic load speeds, often highlighting its convenient size, quiet operation, and overall quality as a console, noting its good value for the price. However, some users express concerns regarding the storage capacity, the disc drive being sold separately, and the battery life, while others mention that it does not come with a stand; despite being listed as a potential concern, many customers report not experiencing any overheating issues.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    I paid for the item online for on store pickup, it said ready in an hour. So I went to the store an hour later, I waited at the store for 6 hours. I spoke to several staff and the general manager, they all assured me without any doubt I would be leaving soon with the item I paid for, as well as online customer service, I was lied to by everyone, so I continued waiting, I waited and waited for 6 hours, until the store closed, never got the item and went home. It took 24 hours, not 1 hour.

    It seems like a good idea at the time but digital only is a bad idea. 1st - you pay the same price for games as if it were a disk with packaging. 2nd- games take forever to drop in price when you can go buy a used one right away for Pennie’s. Do not purchase digital only

    Ordered a refubished PS5, it would work for about 10 minutes and turn off. Had to return it for a full refund that took 2 weeks to complete.

    This game system is great. The only problem we had was shipping and they cancelled my order twice. So we had to reorder but the game system is great

    All of a sudden 4 months in it starts overheating constantly can't play for more than 10 minutes, constantly getting error messages as well as freezing up. Not worth it. I've had a PS4 for almost 10 years still working fine I buy a PS5 and I get 4 months worth

    Missing parts

    I bought this as a gift and as there were no new units in my area I opted for an "open box" unit that was labeled as complete. I did not want the others that were not labeled as complete as I did not want to run the risk of missing parts or scratches, etc. However, the unit was missing almost everything other than the unit and and controller.

    I purchased this Ps5 bundle and received a defective controller, I tried in every way to get them to either fix or exchange it. I was still within the 30 day they say they give and in no way did anyone ever care to actually help me, I went to the store, called multiple times, called the manufacturer and nothing. I would give it a better rating if they at least cared to help

    Absolutely horrible customer service, do not buy PS5 through them! When my package was never delivered and then figured to be stolen they did not refund or replace it, nor did they follow up on any of the case numbers I opened for it, I had to continuously follow up only for it to not be resolved. Guess I’ll have to get it somewhere else I can actually trust.

    I returned the PS5 once because I was overheating a lot, so I did then the other PS5 had frame drop problems and I tried to fix but I couldn’t so I just went to store and got a refund.
