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.

    No disc = Cheaper, Kids Disrespect Anyway

    First, I appreciate the lower price of the digital edition. Sure there are downsides to not being able to use a disc however kids don't respect the disc anyway. If this were mine alone (if I enjoyed gaming) then the disc option is nice for sell/buy/trade. Second, I can't speak much for performance myself, but my teen loves it. Graphics look amazing to me! Third, my son isn't very techie for a teen so I have to do the work of setting things up. It was just as much of a pain as the PS4. Mostly my 45yo brain trying to remember (and be calm). It is important to go through and be sure things are truly locked down from our younger child. Fourth, online purchase and pick up from Best Buy is always a good experience.

    The Console I Never Knew I Needed

    I already owned an Xbox Series X and wanted the best of both worlds so I finally bought this PS5 Slim and I am absolutely loving it. It runs very smooth and I can now play all of the amazing Sony exclusive games like Ghost of Tsushima and Helldivers 2, which is the main reason for my purchase. Console is quiet and it looks cool. The only downside is the Dual Sense Controller has a very short battery life compared to what I'm used to (Xbox Elite mk2 controller with a ridiculously long battery life). Despite that, 10 out of 10 from me.

    The PS5 Slim is a refined version of Sony’s powerhouse console, offering the same next-gen gaming experience in a more compact and streamlined design. While it doesn’t introduce drastic performance changes, the added storage is a game-changer for players who constantly juggle between large game files. The PS5 Slim trims down the bulky original design, making it a better fit for smaller entertainment setups. Despite the smaller frame, it still packs the same impressive power, delivering fast load times, smooth gameplay, and stunning visuals thanks to the ultra-high-speed SSD and ray tracing capabilities.

    I had the original PlayStation 5 and while the performance is identical, it's great to have the form factor of this one. It seems quieter, much smaller and lighter. Overall, great purchase. Good games, awesome controllers.

    You can tell the difference from ps4-PS5.. it loads faster and what not. I do think memory at 1T is maybe not enough if you’re full digital like me. I will be purchasing more memory in the once I can’t save.

    definitely worth the price. Gameplay is so smooth and the fans are so much softer than older consoles (in my opinion). I just wish the stand was sold together with the console rather than seperately but this is a great console regardless.

    I recently purchased the PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition from Best Buy, and I’m absolutely thrilled with my experience. The console has a sleek, modern look that fits perfectly into my setup. Despite being a slimmer version, it still packs the incredible power and speed that the PS5 is known for, with smooth 4K graphics and quick loading times that make every game feel immersive. The setup was straightforward, and the digital-only format is surprisingly convenient. I don’t miss having a disc drive, as the console’s storage and online access have covered all my gaming needs. Best Buy’s purchase and delivery process was quick and seamless, making the whole experience hassle-free. Highly recommend this console for anyone looking to upgrade or dive into the next-gen gaming world!

    PlayStation 5 Review – A True Next-Gen Experience

    The PlayStation 5 delivers everything I could have hoped for in a next-gen console and more. From lightning-fast load times to stunning graphics, it’s a major leap forward in both performance and immersion. Right out of the box, the design is sleek and futuristic, and while it’s larger than previous consoles, it feels like a statement piece. The setup was quick and painless, and the new user interface is clean, intuitive, and much more responsive than the PS4's.

    Works great, runs extremely quiet, I do wish it included a better stand rather than the cheap ones they provide, however, at least they provide something, inital setup of the console was super quick and easy. Quality of the PS5 is really good. The one thing I would recommend to anyone considering buying a ps5 slim without the disc drive is to buy the version that has the disc drive. Because the price is actually more expensive to add it later. However, if you were like me, I dont mind buying the disc drive at a later date. Especially since most of my games I own for the ps5 are digital. That way when I decide I do want the disc drive I can simply buy it.

    Basically a tower pc but for gaming

    If you wanted to build a pc tower that could play high level games at 4k and 120fps you’d be staring $1000 in the face. This thing is basically a tower pc at the fraction of the price. I like the size and portability of the slim edition. I don’t miss the disc drive, I have plenty of space for game and if I want I can easily add another 2 tb of storage, has a slot already there for it. My only grip is that it no longer comes with the vertical stand. The original version came with it, now we have too spend an extra $30 bucks for it. Sony should’ve found a way to include it in the original packaging for the slim. Even if that meant raising it’s price by $20.
