    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.

    I bought this as a Christmas and birthday gift for my boyfriend. He already has a PS4, and while I’m not entirely sure of the differences between the PS4 and PS5, one thing is certain—he absolutely loves it, he says that PS5 has faster load times, better graphics, and new features like the DualSense controller with haptic feedback . He says it’s the best gift he’s ever received.

    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.

    This is a Black Friday deal for me in 2024. The PlayStation 5 Disc Console delivers exceptional performance with stunning 4K graphics, fast load times, and a sleek design. The DualSense controller offers immersive haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for a more engaging gaming experience. It’s a must-have for gamers looking for cutting-edge technology and seamless gameplay.

    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!

    Play Station 5 is the best Play Station thus far and the games for it are awesome attention to detail. No glitches and no reboots, we have played this thing for about a month straight with no issues. It was really easy to set up and start downloading games. I bought mine with the optical drive to that I can play my Blue Ray movies and some old DVD's. It's a win/win for the whole family!

    Best console if you are coming from a older model PS4 or if you are a hard-core gamer if you are just a average gamer who has a PS4 I would hold onto it because I honestly can’t see the difference between both but as I said, I’m just an average gamer Well owned every PlayStation from one to now five by the way, my girlfriend got it for me for my birthday, but I actually had wanted her to just buy me some new games for my PS4 since I know that PlayStation five won’t be played more than twice per a week but aesthetically it looks very good

    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!

    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.

    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 am very pleased with my purchase of the PS5 I have been playing PlayStation since 25 years and I have to say I am truly amazed by the design of the system. The remote itself is a complete different world from any normal remote it has impressed me beyond any level this has opened doors in my life. I thought it was not possible. I am blown away.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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....

    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!

    I bought this for my boyfriend and gave it to him as an early Christmas gift. He loves it and has been telling his friends and coworkers about it. The graphics are beautiful on his monitor and it looks so pretty sitting on his desk. 10/10 would buy again!
