    Blistering performance with zero lag experienced so far with my PS5. The visuals and the gaming experience are awesome. Even Astros Playroom is so good that we cannot stop playing it. Witcher 3 next gen update rocks my PS5. Highly recommend people to buy it. I expected a bit more storage with the slim considering each game is so big in storage.

    Fortnite on the PS5 Slim is an amazing experience. The slim design of the console fits perfectly into any setup, while the game runs incredibly smooth with stunning 4K visuals and super-fast load times. The enhanced graphics and fluid gameplay make Fortnite more immersive than ever. Highly recommend for any gamer!

    Loving my new PS5 so far. Came with the Fortnite bundle for the same price, so I got 2 games for myself, and my daughter gets to use the Vbucks. Took a long time to upgrade, but glad I finally did. Graphics amazing, gameplay is smooth, and it has a ton of features. Go with the disc version.. trust me

    The PS5 Fortnite Edition with disc is a stunning console that blends vibrant design with exceptional performance. As a 28-year-old gamer, I appreciate the quick setup, seamless interface, and breathtaking graphics. The immersive DualSense controller enhances gameplay, while the bonus in-game content, like skins and V-Bucks, adds extra excitement. Overall, it's a must-have for any Fortnite fan or gaming enthusiast looking to elevate their experience.

    My 30 year old son asked for a PlayStation 5 for Christmas. An odd request for a man who still has his original Game Boy device. He is not a gamer. I know even less about game systems. It was an easy process. I went online put it in my cart. It was ready for pick up within an hour. I avoided all the Christmas crowds they brought it out to my car. Smooth transaction and I have a happy son. Thanks

    I haven’t played video games in 15 years, but I knew PS5 ruled the game world so I bought one! I’m impressed & I haven’t even figured out all the quirks yet, I’m at the genesis of my journey with PS5 & I love it !

    The PS5 is a huge improvement to its previous systems. The loading speeds are great and the game play is really fluid. The controllers button are interactive as the buttons become harder to press if in the middle of an activity. Games are fairly large in size. I don’t expect that I’ll be able to hold much more than about 9 games on my console at a time.

    Such a great console! My son loves it. He says it’s much faster than his older PS4. Loves the NCAA game to play on it as well. We ended up buying the stand to go with it so his will stand behind his tv better than laying flat. So far it’s been a great buy!

    I had a great experience at Best Buy picking out my PS5. The staff were super helpful, explaining the differences between the Digital and Disc Editions, which made choosing the right one easy. They also guided me on accessories and games. Excellent service—I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

    Ps5 Disc Drive Fortnite Bundle

    I am rating this bundle/system 4 out of 5 stars for 2 reasons: 1st is because I feel a bundle should include a game, not skins to a free game. Secondly is because it seems Sony went out of their way to had the web browser on ps5 when it was super accessible with my ps4. With that being said, I love how the system looks, performs, and sounds. I also really love the fact that it is a disk drive version. The bundle was a really good deal and I’m glad I picked it up, and using BestBuys trade in system saved me a bit of money too. I will say that the skins that came with the bundle got me to download and play Fortnite again, but again I feel a bundle should include a game not just skins.

    Had to level up from the p4 to the ps5.. No cap the graphics alone on the ps5 is amazing and so much better than the p4... I am locked in heavy on the black ops 6 that i copped along with the console... It's the best investment thus far....

    Plays great games and is lots of fun in performance mode for smooth framerates. Appreciate that it has the full performance of the original but with a smaller footprint, making it easier to tuck out of the way. Coming from decades of PC gaming, it's nice to be able to just play a game without worrying about system requirements or fiddling with settings. Got the disc version for extra flexibility and the ability to buy cheaper disc games second hand instead of being tied to the online store.

    Sleek and smooth design,Realy great speed and preformance and graphics,even better than the ps4pro.Easy to install even over average wifi of 6mb/s.Everything about it is great i did however buy a fan seperatly because she runs hot quickly and internal storage might be needed in the future because the games take up so much space and its only 1TB-Still the best purchase made.Comes with one controller and adding a 2nd one will be beneficial for your enjoyment.

    If you play Fortnite, this bundle is a fantastic choice! Upgrading from a PS4 to a PS5, the difference is night and day—the faster load times, smoother gameplay, and improved graphics make a huge impact. The new DualSense controllers feel much more responsive and comfortable, enhancing the overall experience. Highly recommend!
