    I’ve played for over 10 years on Xbox playing first person shooters and racing simulation games. But lately I have gotten tired of how bad some of the new games on Xbox I’ve been so I decided to switch and try a PlayStation five and all I can say is why did I wait so long, the graphics are just amazing on Gran Tursimo 7 and its lightning fast and hasnt frozen like my series x would do. My only complaint would be at how fast download speeds are. War thunder on my series x took only 90mins to download. On my ps5 it took 28hours! Same wifi same internet speeds test but it sure is slower! But will i return it back? Nope. Im hooked!

    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.

    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

    ⸻ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — The PS5 Is a Game-Changer The PlayStation 5 is everything I hoped for and more. From the moment I powered it on, I could see the leap in speed, graphics, and performance. The lightning-fast SSD means load times are practically gone — you’re in the game within seconds. The visuals are stunning, with crisp 4K resolution and smooth frame rates that make every detail pop. The DualSense controller is the real star here. The adaptive triggers and haptic feedback make every game feel alive — whether it’s the tension of pulling a bowstring or the subtle vibration of footsteps, the immersion is next level.

    Xmas present - in the digital age having the physical CD's can get out of control when space is limited and with the ease that Sony incorporates external storage getting the base model for the price was worth it. Everyone has their own opinion but this is mine.

    I bought the PS5 for my boyfriend for his birthday, he loves it. The setup was easy. It only took like 20 minutes to upload his previous account and start playing. I also love that I was able to break up the payments for it using PayPal. I will be purchasing all my technology needs from Best Buy!

    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!

    Totally worth it — a must-have for gamers! The PS5 is everything I hoped for and more. The graphics are breathtaking, the controller feels futuristic, and everything runs so smoothly. Games like Spider-Man 2 and God of War: Ragnarök show just how powerful this console is. The sound and visuals make it feel like you’re inside the game. Definitely one of the best purchases I’ve made in years

    Awesome console, but it was really the in-store experience that made the difference! It was so easy picking it up in the store. Super seamless, I bought a few things at once, and they also helped me pack everything, even offered to take me to my car as well. It was the best buy, literally!

    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.
