    Best gift to get for family and makes a very nice piece for living rooms. My brother has been wanting one for a while and I’m very happy to be able to get him one at a great price.

    Wanted to surpise my boyfriend with a gift, so I asked him bunch of questions and was going to buy second hand but this was way better! Nothing beats a brand new game that no one touched but you. Lol the jokes on him I have played more hours than him LOL! Now ill be buying my own controller, got my own game pass and lol PalWorld. Lol that’s all I’ll say! What a turn of events, I dont play any COD or Fortnite. I play like FaeFarm stuff. Excited to share one of his favorite hobbies lol unless he wants to play. At this point ill need to get my own PS5. Thats later down the line. The Switch2 is my most concern thet have more cozy games. The PS5 is definitely my goto outside it. Safe to say I may takeover his Playstation.

    Best Console BY FAR!

    The PS5 is the best video game console. Period. It’s not only more powerful than the Xbox X, but the Dual sense controller has them all beat hands down! This model is great because it has the disc drive. So you can play your games, and still enjoy Ultra 4k movies. And if your lucky enough to have a OLED TV, then you will be blown away by the visuals and VVR with no lag and refresh rates at 60 to 144

    Better than PlayStation 4 by far. Our 4 no longer powered up so we upgraded. No system fails at all we are not huge addicted gamers but we do enjoy fast action with no video interruptions. We have now owned this awhile and no issues

    I purchased my PS5 from Best Buy and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. Ordering was easy, the product was authentic and factory-sealed, and pickup/delivery was right on time. Best Buy continues to be a reliable retailer for high-demand electronics. The PS5 itself performs flawlessly fast load times, stunning graphics, and no issues at all. I’m very satisfied with my purchase and would absolutely recommend Best Buy for major gaming consoles.

    What a great console. How compact and fast it is is incredible. It has been the best investment I have ever made and even more so the slim because I have the option to buy discs or download from the cloud. Totally worth it and more if you like to play

    I’ve had my PlayStation five for about a year now and I have nothing but good things to say about it. It has a disc drive so I can play my old games and new games Blu-ray, DVDs and CDs. I could never go fully digital so it’s nice to have the disc drive. I have about nine games on it and it hasn’t filled up memory yet. I stream daily, off of streaming services like Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Hulu. I like how it upscales the PlayStation 4 games and the system navigation is super easy to maneuver. Also, the game catalog is stacked and they’re releasing new games. I highly recommend the PlayStation 5 to anyone. There’s literally something for everybody.

    This is a replacement for my other ps5 which was over heating. This one is working great, Best Buy replaced it for free with the warranty.

    I was skeptical if its worth the upgrade but my wife gifted me this. I have been playing ps5 quite a few days and its totally worth it. I played gta 5 on ps4 and in ps5 I can see the improvement in the graphics, smoothness. I can see more details than before. I played the avatar game and love the experience. I have to try more ps5 games like mk1. The new controllers are a bang.

    The PS5 is a top Notch Next Generation Console. Took a lil time figuring out the features compared to my PS4 Pro which I traded in for $110. I am using it on my Samsung PNF8500 1080P Plasma (last great Plasma TV) I bought in 2014. Looks good will look great when I eventually buy the Sony OLED 95L TV.

    I was thinking of getting a new companion after dashing my Ps4 to a friend back home. I visited many websites but at the end I settled on best buy and I haven’t regret visiting their store. I got myself this Ps 5 slim game.wow i love everything about it. I have a companion now and I don’t feel going out. Everything about this game for me is the best so far.
