Customers enjoy the product's top-notch overall performance, excellent graphics, and fantastic load speeds. They also appreciate its convenient size, ease of use, quiet operation, and great value for the price. However, some customers note that the storage capacity is a downside. Additionally, the disc drive is sold separately and the console does not come with a stand, though overheating is generally not reported as an issue.

    ### PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition Review The PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition features a sleek, minimalist design that’s significantly thinner and lighter than the original. Despite its compact size, it retains the powerful hardware of the PS5, offering smooth 4K gaming and fast load times with its ultra-fast SSD. As a digital-only console, it lacks a disc drive, making it ideal for those who prefer downloading games. It supports all PS5 titles and many PS4 games, ensuring access to a vast library. Overall, it’s a stylish and efficient choice for modern gamers.

    835gb isn’t a lot of storage but Crimson desert has been a nice distraction till GTA VI comes out. Cleaning it easy but not a lot of games for the PS5

    Amazing graphics, I personally first got the fifa 24 and it looks like your watching a game on tv the characters look so realistic the features and everything. Same says of working with play station plus which is amazing and works wells with memory placed, console is super cool looking it’s for the slim look the controller is very interesting you feel the motions more the vibrations and heptics it makes are way stronger than my ps4. I would definitely recommend it’s a household product in my family it’s played by my 13 year old my 23 year old and my 26 year old including me and my husband very liked very likely to be purchasing a second one for the house

    The design is ver slick and clean. My son is very pleased with his console. He feels like the storage could be more due to some games such as call of duty that takes up about 256 GB

    Better. Expensive. Not Going Back.

    Very good. Expensive. Moving up to a PS5 from an XBOX One Series X one X. The system seems to have better audio from games, music, and TV than did the XBOX. And that is both wired with Audio Quest Cinnamon Cables. The interface is not as streamlined as the XBOX, but the home screens have a nice ambient music track that plays when on them. Speed seems similar if not giving a nod to the PS5. Controller is very different. XBOX wins for layout. PS5 wins for button count, on-board speaker, touchpad, and removable paddles - upgraded Sony controller; similar to the XBOX Elite 2 controller. Who ever thought putting the D-pad above the stick, well they were wrong; bad idea…but getting used to it. Headset connectivity has had zero issues, unlike the XBOX where sometimes it disconnects or won’t connect, or mic won’t work. Not so on the PS5, it just works. Size, color, and shape, XBOX wins. PS5 is big, bulky, and bright white, not fading gracefully into the background but sticking out like an oddly shaped sore thumb. Playstore is very much like the XBOX store. So much so I was hard pressed to see which games I could not get on my PS5. Though not the same for all, I was able to get all the games I play on the PS5. No issues there. The highest level subscription provides similar benefits between consoles, with a more reasonable price on the PS5. All in all, I like it, and will continue to use it letting MS keep their huge subscription price increase.

    I couldn't be happier with this PS5 Slim Digital Edition. Setting it up right out of the box was incredibly simple. The digital interface is smooth, responsive, and makes navigating the store a breeze. The DualSense controller is a true game-changer, with haptic feedback that makes you feel every action on screen. It has plenty of storage for all my favorite digital titles, and the system stays cool during long gaming sessions. It's the ultimate entertainment system for any living room or gaming setup.

    The PS5 is an awesome console. It is beautiful and some of the games to play on it seem to run better than on PC. The design is nice and slick looking. It is relatively quiet. There is a nice library of games but God of War makes this one worth buying just for that imo. There are other great hits also but that one is absolutely beautiful on the PS5.

    The PlayStation 5 is an amazing console! The graphics are stunning, and the load times are super quick thanks to the new SSD. The DualSense controller adds a whole new level of immersion with its vibrations and adaptive triggers—shooters and racing games feel way more realistic. Plus, it plays most PS4 games, so you don’t lose out on your old favorites. It’s a bit big and still hard to find, but it’s totally worth it if you can get one!

    Worked great, it is very quick and would recommend to others looking into a gaming console. Could find it cheaper on market places but you never know what you’re going to get. So for peace of mind Best Buy has the best price for a new good working console!

    Amazing love it. Comes with one remote, no disc drive, and no vertical stand. Just so yall are aware, I knew this when buying. I got it during the Black Friday sale but the taxes/etc. brought it up to almost the normal price. Great so far and the graphics/everything are amazing. Definitely recommend if you‘re looking for an upgrade like I was. Having been loving the horizon series since I got it.

    I bought this PS5 for my wife as a Christmas gift. She doesn’t game much but played the PS2 back in the day. This console was extremely easy to set up, and use. The games look amazing, the controller battery is phenomenal and it works like a charm. -Pros: Great selection of games. Comfortable controller. Easy to set up and use. -Cons: Only 1TB hard drive. Overall, a fantastic purchase.

    Product came as expected, only Con is its not 1TB of space, its just 800GB of free console space, but you don’t get the full TB unfortunately, so its only a 135GB difference from the original PS5. If you're going off size, the slim is almost half the size of the original, so no problems with fitting it in small areas. If you plug your USB dongle (bluetooth mic user’s) you’ll have to do it from the back versus the front as the front is only big enough for USB C/B charging ports (like your controller). Other than that so far, works like a charm. Just a smaller PS5.
