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). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Bought this solely for PSVR2, but that didn't work at all. Besides VR, there simply aren't any PS5 exclusives to make it worth the price. Not recommended if you already own a PC gaming rig

    I’m reviewing this on my son‘s behalf. He is 15 and purchased the PS5. Gave us the money for it and we bought it online. Shipping was fast and well packaged. He has been playing with a Nintendo Switch for years so this was a massive upgrade for him. He immediately noticed the elimination of lag during gameplay. He had already upgraded his monitor so with the PS5, he immediately noticed a crisp, highly detailed gameplay upgrade. He has been very happy with this. From a father’s viewpoint, I have noticed that the PlayStation puts out a lot of warm air. It is a hard-core gaming computer in a pretty package with the need for a lot of fans. When he’s been playing for a while, his room will be several degrees warmer than the rest of the house. May come in handy during winter, lol. He is happy with his purchase.

    Already out for service. Hardly got to use just past Best Buy return date and the machine is dead. It’s not Best Buy it’s poor Sony quality. Built to the cheapest price possible. My ps4 pro is still working fine.

    Better than the disc edition

    It was better than the disc version, It's design actually looks like it was made for digital edition, It hasn't had any issues and runs well, I get an avg of 500mbs/s on it and it hasn't had any image problems. I have it paired with a 4k/60hz tv so it runs perfectly fine for 60 frames on games and looks even better, The controller hasn't had any issues and it will be used for a good lifetime.

    The PS5 is an amazing console with fast load times and stunning graphics. The controller feels great and makes games more immersive. I love how smooth the gameplay is and how quickly games start. The only downside is limited storage, but overall it’s a great system and worth buying.

    games are too expensive, and the system itself is playing monopoly on the old games you bought, do not buy, go with a pc instead and use it however you wish to do so

    TBH, the original PS5 is way better than this. Slim version seems loke the most cheap quality version in terms of running hames. Every single minute games were forced closing.

    Didn’t work after 3 weeks and it was very disappointing because my refund window was done so I just traded it in at a GameStop and controller was sticky and the start button was stuck.
