    Nice upgrade from my PS4, no more storage issues and performs much better and faster. Able to play with friends and house all my games with no worries, 10/10. Got the digital slim version with a pink controller on top of what it came with. Controllers are super nice, too, overall would recommend.

    The slim model is so much smaller than the original ps5. One of the best gaming consoles available.

    The PlayStation 5 delivers stunning graphics, lightning-fast load times, and a sleek design. Its DualSense controller adds immersive gameplay with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. With a strong library of exclusives and smooth performance, it’s a must-have for any serious gamer. Highly recommended!

    The PlayStation 5 is nothing short of a next-generation powerhouse. From the moment you turn it on, the speed and performance are immediately noticeable. Games load almost instantly thanks to the ultra-fast SSD, completely changing how immersive and seamless gameplay feels. Visually, the PS5 is stunning. Games run in breathtaking 4K with smooth frame rates, detailed environments, and lifelike lighting that truly brings worlds to life. Titles like Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarök, and Horizon Forbidden West showcase just how much power this console has under the hood. The DualSense controller is a game-changer. Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers add a whole new layer of realism—whether you’re feeling the tension of drawing a bow or the subtle vibrations of different terrains beneath your character’s feet. It’s not just playing a game anymore; it’s experiencing it. On top of performance, the PS5 excels in versatility. Backward compatibility lets you enjoy a massive library of PS4 games, while PlayStation Plus offers incredible value with a growing catalog of top-tier titles. Most importantly, my son absolutely loves it—it was hands down the best birthday gift I could have given him. Seeing how excited and happy he is every time he plays makes the PS5 worth every penny.

    Great Console in a Slim Design

    The PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition has been a great console so far. The slim design is way more compact and fits nicely in my setup without taking up space. I was also impressed with how quiet it runs, even during my long sessions. I like the digital format since I mainly get my games online, and it keeps everything simple without having to worry about discs. The setup was quick and easy, and connecting my accessories was seamless. If you’re looking for a powerful system in a sleeker package this would definitely be worth it

    Joy for Joy

    Whenever I think of what real joy looks like, I think of my son and his present this past Christmas Day. Knowing how bad he wanted a PS5 all year, electronics of this kind can cost a pretty penny! But, through much blessings I made it happen. I immediately went to the ONLY place I know worth ordering such a console... Best Buy! In no time did their app help me find the exact PS5. I ordered it and it was ready for pickup the same day! Come Christmas Day my youngest son was ecstatic, and seeing the joy his little face held gave me all the joy the long year before had brought gave ME the joy he would never understand until he has his own son. That joy of watching him pull out his brand new PS5 I ordered from Best Buy was all I needed to know that our little world was a better place. Thank you Best Buy!

    PS5 is solid—fast load times, good graphics, and the DualSense controller is a nice upgrade with haptics and adaptive triggers. Games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales look great, but the storage fills up fast, and the console itself is pretty bulky. Overall, it’s a good system, but nothing mind-blowing if you’ve already got a decent gaming setup.

    I’m so glad I bought it when it was on sale! Not because it’s a bad product but because it’s awesome and I enjoy it much more while saving money! I’ve been hooked to my ps5 since I got it! I’m a pc gamer and haven’t owned a PlayStation since the PS3 and wasn’t sure what to expect.. but man Sonys ps5 is nice! The subscription to play all the games is good too! I’m getting to play games I didn’t get to as a kid or even playing games I missed after quitting gaming! Man I love it! It’s well optimized too! One thing I didn’t know tho was that physical copies were actually physical, I thought that when you bought them they would just have a cdkey but I was wrong and had to get a disk drive, but I found one after scowering high and low and man!! It’s a blast! I do wish it had more storage but I’m happy nonetheless!

    This playstation 5 is amazing. It runs great, load times on games are fantastic, and i love the interface and homescreen setup. Genuinely one of the best purchases i have made! I 100% recommend it for anyone wanting to play games with stunning visuals and fast load times. I will say the storage isnt great on it, but you can always upgrade that, i mainly play around 5 games and theres plenty of storage for that. The controller is ground breaking, genuinely one of the coolest experiences i've had. The feedback and adaptive triggers that give you a sense of actually being in the game are so cool!

    I had a ps4 for 5 years until in 2024 I decided to upgrade because I couldn’t play any games on it because it was too laggy, too loud and it kept crashing on me. But now that I upgraded to a ps5, every game runs smoothly and it isn’t loud at all. Now I get to play next gen games with my friends. I’ve had the ps5 for 5 months now and it’s still quiet and runs smoothly. Buying a ps5 was worth it.

    I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. The performance is incredible, lightning-fast load times, smooth gameplay, and stunning graphics that truly feel next-gen. Setup was quick and easy, and everything worked perfectly right out of the box. The design is sleek and modern, and it runs much quieter than I expected. Games look amazing, and the controller feels super responsive and comfortable even during long sessions. Whether you’re gaming solo or online with friends, the experience is top-tier. Best Buy made the entire process seamless, from ordering to pickup/delivery. If you’re on the fence, don’t be, this is 100% worth the investment. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their gaming setup.

    When we first bought the Ps5 it had an issue with the hard drive. We took it back and easily exchanged it for another one. The new one works perfectly.
