★★★★★ ★★★★★

After a few weeks with this Sony PlayStation 4 Slim 500GB, my conclusion is pretty simple: it’s a solid, no‑nonsense console that still does the job in 2026, as long as you get it at the right price. It’s quieter and smaller than the original PS4, runs all the big PS4 titles, handles streaming and B...

Cooling Fan for PS5 Review: cheap extra airflow for the chunky PS5, with a few catches

★★★★★ ★★★★★

Overall, this Cooling Fan for PS5 is a practical little add-on for the original chunky PS5 Disc or Digital Edition, but it’s not some magic cooling solution. It clips on easily, pulls a bit more hot air out of the back, and gives you a blue LED glow plus a USB 3.0 passthrough so you don’t lose a por...

Sony PlayStation PS5 Slim Blu-Ray (Renewed) Review: powerful console, sketchy refurb quality

★★★★★ ★★★★★

Overall, this "Sony PlayStation PS5 Slim Blu-Ray Edition Console - White (Renewed)" delivers on performance but fails badly on the "renewed" promise. Once it’s plugged in, it behaves like any normal PS5 Slim: fast loads, sharp graphics, and stable gameplay. The hardware itself is solid, and there’s...

PlayStation 5 Pro Review: a solid upgrade if you actually care about performance

★★★★★ ★★★★★

The PlayStation 5 Pro is basically the PS5 that fixes a bunch of small annoyances rather than a whole new experience. You get better performance in supported games, more consistent frame rates with ray tracing, sharper image quality thanks to the AI upscaling, and a very welcome bump to 2TB of stora...

PlayStation Portal Remote Player Review: the PS5 sidekick for when the TV is busy

★★★★★ ★★★★★

The PlayStation Portal Remote Player is basically a dedicated remote screen and controller for your PS5, and it sticks to that role. When your PS5 is wired to a decent router and your home Wi‑Fi is strong, it works really well: 1080p at 60 fps looks clean on the 8-inch screen, the DualSense-style co...

PlayStation 5 Digital Console (Renewed) Review: cheap way into PS5, with some gamble

★★★★★ ★★★★★

This renewed PlayStation 5 Digital does what it’s supposed to do: it runs PS5 games with the same performance as a new console, and for many buyers it seems to arrive in working order and often in decent condition. If your priority is simply to get a PS5 at a lower cost and you don’t care about a fa...

PlayStation 5 Console (Renewed) PS5 Disc Review: big savings on paper, big gamble in practice

Overall, this renewed PS5 Disc console feels like a gamble rather than a smart bargain. Technically, when you get a good unit, you’re getting full PS5 performance: fast loading times, solid graphics, and all the benefits of the current generation. The problem is the inconsistency.
