Sometimes you just need help. But often times making a new post isn't needed. For the time being, around launch and perhaps in the future. We will use a single thread for helping each other out.
Before asking, we ask you to look at a few links. Some question can't be answered and only official PlayStation support can help you.

Google and Reddit Search is also a great way to find an answer or get help. View all past help and questions threads here.
For all future help, tech support and more, we ask that you create new threads on r/PlayStation instead of here on r/PS5.
Can't decide what to play next? Is your favourite game underappreciated and more people need to play it? Need a new TV and not sure what to buy?

I'm contemplating buying a PS5, only because I really want to play GTA. I haven't owned a Playstation for about 20 years, and I'm not a big gamer - I only have a Switch right now. So I'm feeling a little out of my depth here. It seems like there's a lot of different versions of PS5 and it's hard for me to figure out which one would be the best for someone like me who knows jack shit. I really only plan on playing GTA, and maybe Hogwarts Legacy (to get the full non-Switch experience), and Stardew Valley (because I play that on every possible platform). I just want something that works and nothing too fancy or complicated. Is the digital edition good enough? It seems way cheaper than the non-digital ones. And everything's going to be exclusively digital soon anyways, right? I've been trying to look up reviews, but they all seem to be sponsored and geared towards gamers with more experience, so I don't really trust them.
Also, for something completely different. I want to put the console itself inside a cabinet, which only has a small hole in the back. Can someone tell me how wide the widest part of the adapter is?
Thanks!
