This bundle is 100% worth it. The PS5 runs smoothly and looks amazing, and Spider-Man 2 is an incredible game with great graphics, fast loading times, and an engaging story. The gameplay feels smooth and immersive, and everything set up easily right out of the box. If you’re thinking about getting a PS5, this bundle is a great choice and totally worth the money.

I recently purchased the PlayStation 5, and it has truly been a game-changer. From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell Sony has put a lot of thought and care into both the design and functionality. The console is sleek, modern, and impressively compact considering its power.
The setup was incredibly easy, with a user-friendly interface that walks you through each step. The SSD storage makes loading times lightning-fast, and I noticed a massive difference in how games run compared to previous consoles. The graphics are stunning—4K at 120Hz looks beautiful, and even older games feel like they’ve been given a fresh coat of paint.
The standout feature, however, has to be the DualSense controller. The adaptive triggers and haptic feedback provide an immersive experience like never before. Whether you’re feeling the resistance in a bowstring or the vibrations of footsteps, it’s a whole new level of interactivity.
Performance-wise, it’s hard to beat. I’ve been playing some of the latest titles, and they run smoothly without any lag or issues. The PS5 also operates quietly, which is a huge upgrade over its predecessors.
If you’re a gamer looking to step into the future, the PS5 is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an incredible gaming experience.

Plus, the sleek design of the console is a welcome addition to any entertainment setup. It’s clear Sony has crafted a machine that's built for the future of gaming. If you're looking for cutting-edge performance and endless entertainment, the PS5 is a must-have!

The PlayStation 5 is truly the ultimate digital device in our home! My son and I both love it. He plays on it every day, enjoying games like Asphalt, Need for Speed, and Stumble Guys. I use it about 1–2 times per week, diving into my personal favorites like FIFA 25 and an immersive fishing game.
The graphics are absolutely stunning, with smooth gameplay that brings every scene to life. The fast loading times and incredible processing power make it a joy to use. The dual-sense controller is a game-changer, adding an entirely new level of realism with its haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
Whether you’re into intense racing games or casual sports and simulation, the PS5 delivers unmatched performance. It's a fantastic investment for family fun and quality gaming experiences.

I had a great experience purchasing my PlayStation 5 from Best Buy. I originally bought the wrong version, but when I went back to exchange it, the team was extremely friendly, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. They made the trade-in/exchange quick and stress-free.
The PS5 itself is amazing—fast load times, incredible graphics, and such a big upgrade. Overall, excellent customer service and a smooth experience. I would definitely recommend Best Buy!

Great gaming console that looks nice on the shelf. This has been a game changer for me.
Being able to watch Streaming Services, play music and podcast and connect to my plex media server are all a bonus.
The PlayStation 5 is honestly the coolest console I’ve ever played. The graphics are insane—it feels like you’re actually inside the game—and the load times are so fast, you barely even have to wait. The controller is awesome too; it’s like you can feel everything happening, whether it’s shooting a bow or driving through mud. I love that I can still play my old PS4 games on it

PS5 Slim Pro Review — Is It Really Worth the Upgrade?
After spending a couple weeks with the PS5 Slim Pro, I can say this: it feels like the PlayStation 5 that the original wanted to be. It’s not a total game-changer, but it’s definitely smoother, faster, and built for people who actually care about getting the best visuals possible out of their setup.
Performance and Graphics
The first thing I noticed is how much steadier the frame rates are. Games that used to dip a bit on the regular PS5 — like Cyberpunk 2077 or Horizon Forbidden West — now hold 60fps much more comfortably, and ray tracing looks cleaner too. Sony’s new upscaling tech (PSSR) is surprisingly good; it makes older or non-native 4K games look sharper without feeling artificial.
It’s not mind-blowing, but once you go back to the regular PS5, you can tell something’s missing.
Design and Build
Physically, it’s basically the PS5 Slim with some minor tweaks — same sleek design, a little quieter, and it doesn’t heat up as much even during longer sessions. It still doesn’t include a disc drive, though, which feels cheap considering the price. You can buy one separately, but come on, Sony.
Storage and Speed
The built-in 2TB SSD is a big win. Finally, I don’t have to play “which game do I uninstall this week.” Load times are still lightning fast, but that’s nothing new — the PS5 was already great there.
Price and Who It’s For
At around $699, it’s not a small upgrade. If you’re playing on a 4K TV with 120Hz support or you care about getting every drop of performance, the PS5 Slim Pro makes sense. You’ll notice the difference.
But if you’re just playing casually on a 60Hz TV, the jump from the Slim isn’t going to feel life-changing. The regular PS5 Slim still delivers a fantastic experience for most players.
Final Thoughts
The PS5 Slim Pro isn’t revolutionary — it’s more like a “PS5 perfected.” It’s quieter, faster, and a little more future-proof. I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone, but for serious players who want smoother visuals and more consistent performance, it’s absolutely worth it.
If you’re upgrading from the original PS5 or Slim, you won’t be disappointed — just be ready to pay for that extra polish.

Sleek design, blazing-fast loading. The PS5 Slim Digital Edition offers the same incredible next-gen gaming experience—super-fast SSD, stunning graphics, and the innovative DualSense controller—in a more streamlined form factor. Perfect for gamers who prefer buying digital and want a console that fits neatly into any setup.

I recently picked up a PlayStation 5 from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. From the smooth ordering process to the performance of the console itself, it’s been a great experience all around.
First, the buying process at Best Buy was seamless. The staff was helpful, and the pickup was quick and easy. The packaging was secure, and everything inside was in perfect condition.
As for the PS5, it’s an absolute powerhouse. The graphics are stunning, especially on a 4K TV with ray tracing enabled. Games like Spider-Man 2 and Demon’s Souls look incredible, and the ultra-fast SSD makes load times almost nonexistent. The DualSense controller is another highlight—it adds a new level of immersion with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
The only downside is the console’s size—it’s quite large—but that’s a minor issue compared to everything else it offers.
Overall, I highly recommend the PS5. If you’re lucky enough to find one in stock, grab it! Best Buy made the whole experience easy, and I’m looking forward to years of amazing gaming.

I recently purchased an iPad and a PS5 from Best Buy, and I am beyond impressed with both the products and the service. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to help me find exactly what I needed. The iPad has been everything I hoped for super fast, crystal-clear display, and perfect for both work and entertainment. The associate who helped me explained the storage options, accessories, and features in a way that made choosing the right model so easy. And the PS5? Absolutely incredible. Best Buy had it available when so many other places were out of stock, and the pickup process was smooth and organized. The console runs beautifully, and I couldn’t be happier with the quality. Overall, Best Buy made this entire experience simple, stress-free, and enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back for any future electronics! Highly recommend

You know I never reveled this info before but I've personally owned every Playstation consoles (PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, and now the PS5) with the exception of the 1st Playstation console before PS1. It's now part of my collection of gaming consoles that I've grew up and I love it. I'm becoming a full time gamer with one of the hottest consoles on the market. I can say that I'm ready for the Playstation 6 when it comes available in the near future but I still will have my PS5, which I play almost daily. Piece of advice, buy this console nearly everybody got one and in my case my brother and I each have one.

The PS5 is an amazing console! The graphics are stunning, games load almost instantly, and the DualSense controller adds a new level of immersion. The interface is smooth, and exclusive titles are top-notch. It’s big, but worth the space. A great upgrade for any gamer. Highly recommend!

Got what I expected. If you’re planning on never buying physical discs for your PlayStation 5 then the digital edition is for you. Plus, it looks much better than original or slim edition. Its quiet light weight and to my surprise produces less noise and heat too. I watched many YouTube videos where heating of digital editions was an issue. I just have better ventilation I guess. Very much happy with the purchase. Best buy is the best. The store guy was really helpful and made the purchase experience even smoother. I will suggest Best Buy to everyone planning to buy a PS5 atleast.

I recently bought a PlayStation 5 as a gift for my little brother, and it has easily become one of the best presents I’ve ever given. From the moment he unboxed it, the excitement was off the charts. The setup was quick and simple, and within minutes he was already exploring games with that smooth PS5 interface.
Overall, gifting the PS5 was a huge win. My brother absolutely loves it, and it’s been a blast seeing him enjoy something that delivers both incredible performance and fun. Highly recommend it as a gift — or honestly, for anyone who loves gaming!
