I’ll echo the others. I had a ps3 when the network went down in 2011 and I haven’t had an issue like that since. Granted I didn’t play much for a couple years as I switched to PC gaming mostly, but I picked up a PS5 last year and the only connection issues are from my internet itself
I didn’t use the ps+ service back then because you didn’t need it for multiplayer games on the PS3, but I did get a couple free games (little bit planet and infamous were what I picked)
Anyways, welcome to the ps5! It’s a very capable device for gaming or media. Also efficient at heating your room. I don’t regret my purchase at all even though an outage like this is frustrating. There’s some games that work offline and if you have the disc drive you can at least watch movies or get physical discs of games
