Best Buy 1-star review by SarahM (title: "Beware of Open Box \"Excellent Condition\""). Open-box excellent PS5 had a non-working disc drive, was full of dust and banged up, and shipped loose with no packing material. Owner called support impossible and the purchase a total scam.

Best Buy 1-star review by KathiaM (title: "Disc reader was broken"). Multiple game discs would not read. At the store for exchange, Best Buy would not provide the same console ordered online and instead gave a cheaper unit, which the owner called disappointing.
