I would give 0 stars if I could. My boyfriend bought me a PS5 for my birthday this past week. Today I set it up and turned it on, except it didn't connect to the controller, then shut off and wouldn't turn back on. After troubleshooting and reading reviews, I realized this is a common problem and we had a lemon. We called Best Buy customer service and were told we had 30 days to return the item. When we brought it back, the girl at the register said that there was a hard return window of 15 days and ours was purchased 3 weeks ago so we were out of luck. She then offered to let us pay an extra 50 dollars for a Best Buy membership so that we could exchange the console (since a perk of membership is a 60 day return period). I asked if we could speak to a manager, since we had been told we could return it over the phone. The manager was no help and basically said there was nothing she could do. I called Best Buy customer service back and asked if I could speak to the rep I had spoken with that morning and she said that even though they record phone calls she couldn't pull up the record of the call. So basically Best Buy sold us garbage and then charged us for the luxury of returning it. Such a scam. Just buy from Amazon! They have a better return policy and you don't have to deal with awful customer service.

Adem is the best.
My family and I came in for the new iPhone.
He got our numbers switched, put on our screen protectors and just did a great job.
The whole time people coming to him for reference and with questions.
He is, in fact THE MAN!

I just read that many locations are closing, and looking around, this store is clearly understocked. It's a terrible shame because so many employees will be unemployed. A few years ago, a manager at this location went above and beyond in helping me during a visit. He was incredibly talented and kind. I sent him a pizza, from the same shopping center to show my appreciation. I hope the employees find other employment long before this place closes. Which appears to be soon.
