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.

    Had a ps4 which was going out. Replaced it with the ps5 but mainly use it for streaming. Constantly loses connection. Initially just used Wi-Fi but after too many connection issues I switched to a network connection. Still frequently lose connection. BTW I have a dedicated fiber optic service so I’m not sharing.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Open Box but Definitely a Win

    I bought this PlayStation 5 as a Christmas gift for my partner and went with an open-box option, honestly not knowing exactly what to expect. I’m happy to say it exceeded my expectations. The console arrived in great condition — clean, well-packed, and clearly taken care of. It was obvious right away that this wasn’t a “beat up” return. Everything we needed was included, and setup was quick and painless. Performance has been flawless. The PS5 runs quietly, loads games fast, and the graphics are amazing. Even during long gaming sessions, there have been no issues with overheating or lag. The controller feels great, and the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback really do make a difference. What I appreciated most was the value. Choosing open-box saved money without sacrificing quality, and it still felt like gifting something special. Watching his reaction on Christmas morning confirmed I made the right choice. If you’re on the fence about an open-box PS5, don’t be. As long as it’s from a trusted seller, it can be a great way to get a top-tier console at a better price. I’d absolutely purchase open-box again.
