Customer Ratings & Reviews

Finally got 1. I have not played it as much as I had like but plan to dive in during upcoming holidays. Console is very big. However the set up is simple, and the controller is next gen but also kind of weird to have triggers lock up. I fear I will break it if I don’t realize the feedback. The downside is unusable memory is nearly a .5T after OS and updates. I have not purchase new internal mem but I do have WD 5TB portable HD which seems to work fast and well. Another feature I enjoy Is the ability jump in certain game modes before boot up. It sounds silly but it cuts down on screen option time and gets you in the game quickly. I wish I had an OLED tv to play it on.

I admit I was hesitant of getting the PS5 for a while based on some of the reviews and comments. I had tried several times but had no luck. I had given up, thinking I would get it in the future. Then I just happened to be on the site and searched for it just to see and saw it was in-stock. I was shocked to actually get one. Once I connected it and played around with it I was so pleasantly surprised. The loading speed is amazing. No longer do I feel like I'm waiting minutes for a game to launch. It's quick. I haven't had any issues with it turning off on me, on the contrary we run it for hours and still works great. I'm really happy to have one and have told all my friends about it.

Awesome design with its white and black aesthetic, ssd is extremely fast, love that the digital version requires no disc, true definition of next-gen controller. Thank you BestBuy.

Amazing graphics on the new system! Been wanting to have a PS5 since they came out and was lucky to get one. The new console games have been extraordinary to play

The load times are really unbelievable. What used to take upwards of a minute now takes seconds with certain games. 4K graphics, 3D audio and the amazing haptic feedback complete the package.

It took me a long time to finally get a hold of one of these, but Best Buy finally came through. The wait was worth it. The graphics, the speed, the controller. I love everything about the PS5.

Great system, totally worth the wait! Was able to pick the system up early day of release without being "paranoid" (#MGN). Employee was helpful and helped note that the box handles were not as strong as they appear, so made sure to carry the system out with both hands. System works phenomenally and best system I've had in a long time. Interface was easy to use and system easy to set up. Had all the wires needed (included usb cord to charge the controller). Graphics are smooth, easy to download new games and change between games. My console sits on the side with no worries. Dual sense controller is also fantastic and unique. Recommended to always "turn off" the system after use. Highly recommended!!!

Even though it was a hassle to get, this console is worth it! Miles faster than the PS4, sleek as all get out, and the controller...ooooh the controller feel phenomenal! Definitely worth it!

The system is beautifully made. Fast load times and great graphics. However the console is large and requires ample ventilation. Wouldn’t recommend placing it inside of an enclosed entertainment center.

The PS5 is amazing. We have played COD, Spider-Man, and Foetnite. The graphics are incredible. The games load instantly. And the new controller is dope. Thanks Best Buy for the winter enjoyment!

So thankful I was able to snag one during Best Buy’s previous drop. To me the ps5 is definitely a significant step up from the ps5. It’s much faster and allows for you to play pretty much all of your old ps4 games if you happen to have them still. I’m def a fan of this new console and can’t wait to try out the exclusive games coming out through this gen. My only complaint is that the ps5 is a pretty big console....not sure what Sony was thinking in regards to the design of the console. Prepare to find a home within your personal entertainment center (or upgrade it for something bigger) because this console takes up quite a bit of space. Other than that solid release from Sony

It’s good, got the ps5 since I’ve always wanted one and I grew up on the xbox. Hate that it comes with 1tb, they should offer a 2tb by now but nooo smh!!!

A gift to my husband early 2021 and he plays it on a daily to this day! Console looks great and works great! Only complaint I hear is storage but other than that, perfect gaming system!

The absolute best system PlayStation has ever made! Lightning fast, great graphics, and very quiet! Only downfall is it’s a big system, but you can’t have your cake and eat it too!

Sony hit it out of the park with the PlayStation 5. Insanely fast load times, slick 4K UI (XBox Series X UI is still at 1080P which makes no sense since like the PS5 it supports 4K games, what was Microsoft thinking? Hopefully a patch will come out at some point to up the Series X UI resolution to a proper 4K) and truly next-gen DualSense controller makes for a very impressive console. Perfect backwards compatibility with the PS4, so much so that I was able to sell my old PS4 pro. My Thrustmaster RS-300 wheel and pedals work perfectly with the PS5 when playing F1 2020. Yes, it is still very difficult to find one but is well worth the effort to seek one out, you won't be disappointed!

Was lucky enough to get this on launch day and have been playing it non-stop ever since. Phenomenal graphic and the new controller rocks. Load times for PS5 are lightning fast compared to PS4 games.

Compared to the PS4 the PS5 is much larger and noticeable when out of the box a lot heavier. Should you go disk or digital when buying? It’s all on preference however this is food for thought. I went digital because Sony released the digital which means that the next version PS6 (years from now) will almost 100 percent be a digital only console. That means if you have disk it will no longer be supported. However if you want to buy games and trade them in for cash back when you no longer play your old games then go disk. It’s as simple as that, I got the digital version to also save room on storing games. Should you wait to buy a PS5? The answer is simple yes if you want the ps5 games. Right now all the games have a boost but don’t yet show the true potential of the PS5. If you can wait till April then we should see some games already for PS5 and the use of its capabilities. Besides you may just want the newer PS5 that comes with a bigger storage capacity at that time. How does the PS5 run? Fast simple answer. When turning on the ps5 and after setting it up, you will be blown away how much everything actually has changed. It takes a little getting used to if your a gamer but it’s refreshing and a better setup then it’s old version. The PS5 lets you get to the menu or games easier than the Xbox version and it does this while keeping in mind what most people use. Conclusion. The PS5 is a newer refreshing looking machine. But if you can wait until April to see it’s full capability then do so, you actually maybe glad you did since a newer more powerful ps5 should be announced with higher storage capacity and most games until then won’t use the ps5 capabilities. I went digital because in the future Sony will no longer support disk games so start making your digital library now.

I really have no complaints about the system is Fast and the games look great, and the controller feels great... If you are able to get your hands on one you will enjoy it

It's expensive, took a long time to find, and did not disappoint. The graphics and load times are great, but the best feature of the new console is the standard controller. It's a game changer.

I initially bought this item as a gift, but when the gift recipient had already procured another PS5, I ended up keeping the item for myself and trying it out. I would have to say, it is beyond what I imagined. I haven't touched consoles for years (still working with a Playstation 2 and a Gamecube) and have consistently been a PC gamer since then. That being said, this console has a lot more than I anticipated for the price. Excellent graphics - is able to handle newly released games with ease, optimal FPS settings for gaming, easy to setup and use, doesn't overheat, etc. Basically fulfills what a gaming PC can do in terms of gaming, with a lower price v. conventional gaming PCs.
