You are the only person who has highlighted the horizontal stand height differences so kudos to you sir. I didn’t realize the horizontal stand that came with the disc drive was to accommodate the greater depth and no one addresses this. I installed the stand that came with the PS5 pro after installing my disc drive and it was no beuno.
Same. I was lowkey freaking out for a sec until I discovered the add-on disc drive came with there own feet and it obviously solved the issue. Crisis averted lol.
Just a few seconds in: the box says "disc free console" like it is something good or healthy like "sugar free soda" but in fact it is a car without wheels.
@@Shvabicu I think a lot of companies around the world, like Apple, Sony, Microsoft and many other companies are becoming more and more brazen in their business and it feels like they want to test people's psyche to a certain point and see what people are willing to pay.

Base ps5 could also. HDMI 2.1 standard. Technically not lying. It had the ability to display 8k, maybe not the power to play games at 8k, but it could display it. If you saved an 8k JPG on a usb, the ps5 would be able to display it lol
Decent video with accurate concise information. Regarding the drive, TronicFix did a video where he swapped drives from one PS5 to another and then back again. The first console recognised and remembered the drive from its first registration and he didn’t need to re-register it when he put it back in the first console. Either way, it’s simple and takes seconds, so no biggie.
This is exactly where the misinformation comes from I'm afraid. If you watch that video again, he cut where he had to register the drive again. So as I explained here, no matter what - drives are registered to 1 console at a time. Any time a swap happens, you replace registration.
It really does. Dunno what they were thinking with the slim and pro redesigns. The increased reflectivity on the black portion just looks gaudy, and the cut through the white plates looks clumsy. Not to mention the stand situation, which wasn't great on the original model but was better than whatever the hell they're doing with the new ones.

Mine makes little noises when i run games digitally… kind of annoyed cause the base ps5 didnt have those noises when i first got it unless i never noticed.
I’m going to keep crying about it and I don’t care if people get mad but having to buy a disc drive and a stand for a system that cost 700 dollars is just ridiculous.
Crazy thing is there's people like me around that don't even own any discs anymore, so why charge me more for a drive I'll never use, that's what is ridiculous
@@ryans413 I was fortunate enough to have Game Stop points so I got my stand for $1 and change and I been gave all my hard disks away amongst family and stepped into the new digital world
Got my disc drive installed last night, then started redownloading games. Fired up baldurs gate real quick to take a look. So far don’t notice any difference, but will try out other games later. Not sure it is worth it yet. The OG ps5 seemed to work just fine, but I’ll dig into it later tonight after work.
BG3 was the first game i fired up. i've put in 650 hours into the game and have a good feel for the usual performance. felt noticeably sharper with a slightly better frame rate pretty much instantly. certainly not world changing, but kinda cool. also noticed some odd behavior with some of the new mods but not sure if that's pro specific
How's the controller that came with it? The one that came with my PS5 pro feels lighter than my other controllers, the buttons feel like they stick when pressed in. I swear it feels cheaper.
Would love for you to add in the Fan noise as a test. Mine is definitely louder than the OG. Ran some tests and it's at about 42db in game, quiet in the menus. Not terribly loud but a noticeable change for the worse. Some are saying they hear no noise at all so maybe some manufacturing differences.
I had both and when I used monitor it was very noticeable around 42-45db while cfi1200 is around 35db very quiet. I almost regret selling the og for the slim but I use it with TV now so it’s pretty far away from me. Cant really hear the fan now.
@@sa-Y-to I mean obviously but some consoles are still very noticeable even if you sit far away. I am saying that even thou the slim is louder it’s unnoticeable if you use it with your tv and sit on your couch or something which is ideal.
I did find the information with the disc drive useful and reassuring in regards to hearing that it is not a constant always online connection but instead a one-time connection to use it as much as possible even when offline, so thank you for that Mystic👍
I've literally watching this video (and the other two companion videos) step-by-step, following along to set-up my new PS5 Pro. Thank you so much for doing these tutorials on removing the covers, installing the Blu-Ray drive and the expansion SSD. I'm an autistic, visual learner. So watching you going through the process has been immensely helpful for me. With how much the PS5 Pro cost, I was apprehensive with adding on the optical and SSD Drives and extremely leery of the robustness of the plastic cover clips. But with your videos, it was a great help to get the job done. Thanks so much. Consider me "subscribed" to your RUclips channel. 👍
My PS Pro is generating a lot of heat, after a while I’m pretty sure it causes problems for my PS Link dongle which I now have to plug into the back of the console right next to the vent.
About the coil whine, I have the original model (2nd version) and it seems like it stopped doing it after year and half. But it wasn't very present in the first place, it did it during cutscenes in Guardians of the Galaxy and in the GT7 menus.
Crazy that they still haven’t fixed the coil whine 4 years later and after 3 different PS5 models. All Sony had to do was insulate the PSU with that putty stuff like what is in the Xbox Series PSU’s which would cost pennies. Either that or it’s just a cheaper PSU that’s used. Shouldn’t be a thing in a £700 console though. That’s just more penny pinching from Sony imo.
Mine has none, I checked it yesterday. My original PS5 Digital from 2020 had very noticable coil whine and I hated it but the pro has absolutely none in the same scenarios. BUT the fan is louder and the console has some kind of vibration noise for me which I'll try to figure out.
Honestly, if the Pro simply had a disc drive, I'd be trading in my PS5 to get the Pro. I really, really hate that they deleted the disc drive and made it an additional add-on cost.
Picked mine up yesterday (along with the disk drive), it's my 3rd PS5 (I like to have one on multiple TVs). I can't see the problem with the price, it's a luxury item meaning you don't need one to survive. If you have a standard PS5 you're fine but if you're a techie like me and can swing it I don't see the problem. I got the original unit on release along with some of the revisions since, they all still work fine.
@@AllanS420 That's ok, if you originally downloaded your games. Mine stopped reading discs after about 2 years, some games I downloaded but most are on disc which means paying for them again. I also have quite a few PS4 games on the system, all of which are on disc
@@Keeacer maybe some dust got in to it ? because i had the same issue once but i cleaned everything and working fine now. Some models tho are notorious of failing. Maybe i was just lucky
Coming from an OG to a Pro, what have folks done to deal with the USB situation when it comes to the Logitech g923 steering wheel for GT7 and Fight Sticks. Has anyone tried an USB-C > A adapter in the front or just went extension cable to the rear A port? Any recommendations?
I found installing the disc drive was a bit scary as it didn't just slot in on my first attempt. I moved it a bit and gave it a little push and it felt like nothing was happening so I picked it up again and noticed I had made a very tiny dent in the metal on the inside of the console next to the pin hole because it wasn't quite right in there. Lifted it up, jiggled it gently a little bit and PLOP suddenly it went in. I was a bit worried the dent would have done something but the PS5 Pro immediately picked up the disc drive and reads discs just fine (and is even a bit quieter than my launch model PS5) so I guess it was fine after all. Really had me sweating for a moment, though!
@Mystic My PS5 from 2021 barely has any coil whine. While I do hear it when my ear is pressed against the PS5, the coil whine on my PS5 is so faint that even when my ear is right on it, I can barely hear it.
Yes! The original fat model stand made it look like it was floating when set horizontally. This pro model has these chintzy little plastic feet that make it look cheap.
I don't even plan on buying one but just by watching mystic unbox the PS5 pro, Why do I get the feeling I am being ripped off the same way when I unbox my Iphone 14 Pro 😂
Did you know, when logged into the same account you can just swap the internal SSD and an external drive between consoles, no re-downloads necessary. Console just needs to be updated to the same firmware and be logged into the same account beforehand.
Not sure if this sounds a bit weird but could you do a video on how to properly remove the faceplates as I heard some people were having difficulty with them
I had the money there for the pro but ended up putting it towards a 65” Samsung flagship OLED tv. I now have hdmi 2.1, 144hz, VRR and ALLM, I didn’t have these on my previous Sony 4k with my PS5. What I’m getting to here is if you don’t have a decent tv forget it.
03:05 - "We've got our Fatboy Slim Pro" - I see what you did there 😁 Could have even made it better by saying "We've got our Fatboy Slim Pro right here, right now" but I forgive you 😇
Still has the same crappy hdmi bandwidth as base ps5, doesn't support full rgb hdr in 120 hz mode. Pretty disappointing. Psvr2 games that rely on dynamic resolution look much better. That's the only thing keeping me from returning this thing.
After having the console in hand i can say this: the packaging looks really cheap, the console itself looks cheap not really like a premium pro fessional console, the differences are not so notable, it could have been much better like twice as fast but it would have mean a big gap vs the ps5..but still the price has been doubled, no disk drive and stand makes it even cheaper and a stand is a must. I realky hope that they will make a limited edition similar to the 500 million one as this one is by no means premium
I'm not saying people shouldn't buy it if you want to buy it you should but for me the difference isn't worth trading in my launch PlayStation 5 to get this one after the trouble I went through to get the base ps5 in the first place back in 2021 with all the scalpers buying them all...plus I was lucky to get the Spiderman 2 faceplates for my ps5 so that's another reason
That's pretty much the last custom cover ps has done so far and I don't think the og ps5 is gonna get anymore custom covers, not even any more color console covers. Imma just have to buy all console covers for the OG model, I'm afraid they might be gone after a while.
I was hoping for a more radical design change myself. This is still nicer than the base PS5 and the shape makes more sense with the pro’s reduced footprint. Also at this price I was disappointed that this had zero pack-ins or extras. Even apple gives you a little ‘woohoo!’ moment with a sticker to show off your brand support if you care about that kind of stuff.
The Pro is louder than the OG models fan for sure. I can hear the Pro fan from roughly 1 metre away on my desk with my headphones on (open back Beyer tygr 300r) when i have all audio muted, when I could never hear the fan on my OG PS5. I was lucky with the OG PS5, I had the good fan + I had Dbrand darkplates with the fan cut out, so never had any overheating issues. I can definitely hear the pro fan when playing games, it's only subtle, but it is there. I wonder if the OG fan would fit the pro if i swapped them & plugged it in?
It's probable due to the Hollywood requirement. Seem strange they would need to bother otherwise. They port all the big first party games to Windows anyway. Where it can and will be no effort pirated by millions without the expensive and complicated hardware hacks needed in every PS5 system someone would feel tempted to do the same in.
Does anyone know what happens if you factory reset and format a PS5 after the drive was paired to the system? Do you need to re-pair it, or it remains connected to that system?
Anyone know a simple workable horizontal stand for the ps5 pro? The stands from the disc drive doesn’t really work out, the ps5 pro still touches the surface with those stands, craziness.
Buying a ps5 today is like a IKEA table, it's all detached parts. It's almost 900 euros for the stand + ps5 + disc drive... maybe when it's a lil cheaper cause I need a new one because my launch one is getting tired lmao
My PS5 Pro also has coil whine, I exchanged mine on the first day. I got a new one and it's exactly the same. It's as you say though. Sensitive people might not be able to hear it, others might not, but it's definitely there. And it varies from game to game.
It’s not a defect it’s just how power supplies are when they have a load on them. You can hear the same thing in PCs or if you stand next to a power pole with a big transformer on it you can hear the wine as well. It’s not a defect but I can understand sensitive people might find it annoying but really the audio from my sound system drowns it out so I don’t even hear when playing games.
I expect it'll be like the launch day ps5 with about 70% of them having the cheap capacitors. My pro also has significant coil whine. I did return my og ps5 the very first week 4 years ago, but the one they returned was even worse.. This time I'll be smarter and buy a very long hdmi cable and return it in 12 months when they have a better revision. But I feel like it's important to return them at some point as Sony need to learn this is not ok. Also not all human brains are annoyed buy this, but quite a few are. Especially those with ASD.
@@Jasonsadventures Bro, you speak from my heart, I will do exactly the same as you. Firstly, I will get a long HDMI cable, that's a very good idea. Secondly, the PS5 Pro will be returned after twelve months, when we are still just within the warranty. Thirdly, I was diagnosed with ADHD at 34 and I find this coil beeping noise extremely annoying. And last but not least, yes, Sony must learn from simply installing cheap capacitors. But then charging such a high price. I mean, OK, we are graphics enthusiasts, we love it, but I think you have to be fair.
So weird I can’t restore my data onto a pro from a USB storage device even though I performed a reformat, backed up database, traded og ps5, waiting with peace of mind for pro, now can’t even recognize USB drive to restore…🤢
Maybe you can also use the stand to secure the console to a surface so that you can't accidentally pull down the whole unit when using the tethered PSVR2?
I've got one, and it's certainly a £220 upgrade over the OG from what I've seen so far. It'll only get better next year as well once folk start releasing games made with it in mind. I had some fairly big achievments this year and I had the money spare so I thought fuck it why not? It's pretty clearly aimed at enthusiasts, so it's not like every PS5 owner is gonna buy one or even be expected to. If you're into your tech and you want the best possible visuals + performance it's an awesome piece of engineering, and you'll probably really enjoy it. If you're not that fussed about all that just save your money man. It seems to be a really solid mid-gen upgrade but the OG is still an excellent console and will be for many years yet
@@brucewaynenotbatman Because it was new just like a new phone stop supporting this nonsense that’s why these companies do it because you have no backbone only “Consume products and get excited for next” as years pass by it supposed to be cheaper not backwards especially a platform with such a weak lineup after four years
That is one thing I’ll give to Xbox, the quality of just everything from the internal design, to the components inside to the layout etc, it is just so incredibly well built and honestly makes PlayStations look cheap on the inside even the pro… and it’s just a smaller quieter console. Nothing wrong with ps of course they are amazing but I cannot say the same about quality. And they seem to break more than Xbox series X’s I’ve seen in repair shops etc etc
@@ARXInfiniteJust want to add, the only reason you’re seeing more ps5’s in repair shops is due to there simply being two are three times as many PS5’s as there is Series consoles.
@@ARXInfiniteSeries X is very well built and the hardware is better. No need to get a Pro if you have a Series X because it is going to run future titles like GTA 6 just fine.
I think the packaging box is more stable too for Xbox series. Not sure since I never touched one in person. But I do know the Nintendo switch box is very solid and not flimsy like the PS5 box. Seems like they would have made the ps5 packaging box more solid since it is bigger than the other two competitors consoles.
I have it but only see minor graphics improvement. Last of us 2 rm yes, Spiderman 2 very little, BO6 not sure if framerate or just my personal hope? Guess Ghost of Yotai and other new titles will rock
As for the thumbnail, what did Sony not tell us? The position of the CMOS battery? The disc drive handshake? I don't see anything that they should have told us beforehand.
Thank you for mentioning that small yet important detail about the plastic feet because I hadn’t seen anyone mention the difference in size yet. When I opened up the PS5 Pro box and the plastic feet included weren’t long enough to keep my PS5 pro from becoming slanted when I had the disc drive attached. I didn’t know at first there was feet that came with the disc drive box. (I opened the box from the bottom. So I did not initially see them). Once I switched out the feet. The Pro wasn’t lopsided anymore. Also additional note. I notice the disc drive is very loud. I feel it’s even louder than the OG PS5.
Listening to some podcasts, they mention the fan is worse than the PS4 pro Harrier jump jet, just wondered if you can confirm? In the 4 on some games playing it late at night it was deafening .
800€ and feels cheap af. The packaging, the glossy plastics, coil whine... after dropping that much of money you expect something better. I know the important stuff is the performance but all counts...Sony should improve on this.
So... I have a standard PS5 with disc drive, and I have many many hrs on it. I've already had it apart a couple times to clean out the lint which this thing acts like a vacuum cleaner for the room. Another issue I am concerned with is how hot my PS5 seems to get and I wonder why sony hasn't offered a sort of "chill mat" as an accessory, and I'm wondering if you think a chill mat for a laptop would be a good thing to use ?
I don't have an issue with coil whine but what's annoying is that I have a slight, high pitched noise/whistle every 2-3 seconds when the fan is running. My og PS5 was more quite than the pro, that's a let down...

With how much the PS5 Pro cost, I was apprehensive with adding on the optical and SSD Drives and extremely leery of the robustness of the plastic cover clips. But with your videos, it was a great help to get the job done. Thanks so much. Consider me "subscribed" to your RUclips channel. 👍
My PS Pro is generating a lot of heat, after a while I’m pretty sure it causes problems for my PS Link dongle which I now have to plug into the back of the console right next to the vent.
Cats make every video better.
The Melissa “meow” was the video highlight for me lol
About the coil whine, I have the original model (2nd version) and it seems like it stopped doing it after year and half. But it wasn't very present in the first place, it did it during cutscenes in Guardians of the Galaxy and in the GT7 menus.
Crazy that they still haven’t fixed the coil whine 4 years later and after 3 different PS5 models. All Sony had to do was insulate the PSU with that putty stuff like what is in the Xbox Series PSU’s which would cost pennies. Either that or it’s just a cheaper PSU that’s used. Shouldn’t be a thing in a £700 console though. That’s just more penny pinching from Sony imo.
Mine has none, I checked it yesterday. My original PS5 Digital from 2020 had very noticable coil whine and I hated it but the pro has absolutely none in the same scenarios. BUT the fan is louder and the console has some kind of vibration noise for me which I'll try to figure out.
Insert it costs too much comment here
Way to much I can get a decent gaming pc for £800
Valid only if you live outside the US. But it's still an optional upgrade
its 699 USD in the US??? but its 950 USD here in Malaysia which is just... DAMN
It costs too much
People can’t help themselves
Honestly, if the Pro simply had a disc drive, I'd be trading in my PS5 to get the Pro. I really, really hate that they deleted the disc drive and made it an additional add-on cost.
Let's Talk PlayStation midnight edition
Yutaro: is this LTPS?
@aegmail3070 I was unaware I said sell out (Joke) when making a joke
Picked mine up yesterday (along with the disk drive), it's my 3rd PS5 (I like to have one on multiple TVs). I can't see the problem with the price, it's a luxury item meaning you don't need one to survive. If you have a standard PS5 you're fine but if you're a techie like me and can swing it I don't see the problem. I got the original unit on release along with some of the revisions since, they all still work fine.
Thank you for clarifying the disc drive online requirement misinformation!
The console comparison next to the fat ps3 shows just how ahead of its time that’s consoles design was. Still looks surprising modern imo.
Still like large PS5 it's beautiful ❤
For all those who bought into the ps5 pro dbrand have a magnetic stand so it’s a must if you want your console horizontal and to sit safely
I have original ps5 disc version when it was released and i think its enough for me for at least 3 more years.
Unless it stops reading your discs
@@Keeacer if it happens, then i just use it digitally 😃
@@AllanS420 That's ok, if you originally downloaded your games. Mine stopped reading discs after about 2 years, some games I downloaded but most are on disc which means paying for them again. I also have quite a few PS4 games on the system, all of which are on disc
@@Keeacer maybe some dust got in to it ? because i had the same issue once but i cleaned everything and working fine now. Some models tho are notorious of failing. Maybe i was just lucky
Coming from an OG to a Pro, what have folks done to deal with the USB situation when it comes to the Logitech g923 steering wheel for GT7 and Fight Sticks. Has anyone tried an USB-C > A adapter in the front or just went extension cable to the rear A port? Any recommendations?
worth it for me, shame theres no disc drives in stock though
I found installing the disc drive was a bit scary as it didn't just slot in on my first attempt. I moved it a bit and gave it a little push and it felt like nothing was happening so I picked it up again and noticed I had made a very tiny dent in the metal on the inside of the console next to the pin hole because it wasn't quite right in there. Lifted it up, jiggled it gently a little bit and PLOP suddenly it went in. I was a bit worried the dent would have done something but the PS5 Pro immediately picked up the disc drive and reads discs just fine (and is even a bit quieter than my launch model PS5) so I guess it was fine after all. Really had me sweating for a moment, though!
This ps5 pro would been a nice value if it came with dual sense edge and disc drive bundled in the box
@Mystic My PS5 from 2021 barely has any coil whine. While I do hear it when my ear is pressed against the PS5, the coil whine on my PS5 is so faint that even when my ear is right on it, I can barely hear it.
I made my own ps5 Pro Stand with the stand from the OG ps5 😂😂 I simply drilled a whole through the stand and use the same screw.
Call me bias... but I feel that the OG model laid horizontally... is the most premium 'looking' PS5
I guess the correct word is biased. No one will call you bias.
Especially in black
Yes you are very bias
Yes! The original fat model stand made it look like it was floating when set horizontally. This pro model has these chintzy little plastic feet that make it look cheap.
Looks like a joke laying it down
I don't even plan on buying one but just by watching mystic unbox the PS5 pro, Why do I get the feeling I am being ripped off the same way when I unbox my Iphone 14 Pro 😂
the OG ps5 still looks the best. both slim and pro to me doesn't look that good and the stand is just not matching with the console at all.
Im happy with my slim, i always got the slim version since ps1 to ps5 slim, except ps3 i took super slim 😁
Did you know, when logged into the same account you can just swap the internal SSD and an external drive between consoles, no re-downloads necessary.
Console just needs to be updated to the same firmware and be logged into the same account beforehand.
It’s what I did, moved everything to my PS5 added 2TB SSD, then just put it in my new PS5 Pro. Nearly 2TB of games. Job done 👍
But your settings
You gotta manually do that
@@TheUncleSpiderX nope! Backed my PS5 settings to and external SSD, then restored them to new PS5 Pro. Job done 👍
5:05 THIS is what I came for
I should be asleep but gonna watch this anyway
I see they don't have 8K on the pro box either now huh
Not sure if this sounds a bit weird but could you do a video on how to properly remove the faceplates as I heard some people were having difficulty with them
I had the money there for the pro but ended up putting it towards a 65” Samsung flagship OLED tv. I now have hdmi 2.1, 144hz, VRR and ALLM, I didn’t have these on my previous Sony 4k with my PS5.
What I’m getting to here is if you don’t have a decent tv forget it.
Yes sir. On the money 😊
I took my disc drive off my slim and put it on my pro, but the bottom covers seem to not fit on the pro very well.
03:05 - "We've got our Fatboy Slim Pro" - I see what you did there 😁 Could have even made it better by saying "We've got our Fatboy Slim Pro right here, right now" but I forgive you 😇
Coilwhine is from vrm coils on the mainboard and not the PSU.. psu is silent compared to the vrm coils
Still has the same crappy hdmi bandwidth as base ps5, doesn't support full rgb hdr in 120 hz mode. Pretty disappointing.
Psvr2 games that rely on dynamic resolution look much better. That's the only thing keeping me from returning this thing.
I added a little bit of hot melt/glue to the bottem of the PS5 Slim stands and the console. Easy to remove and anti slip.
After having the console in hand i can say this: the packaging looks really cheap, the console itself looks cheap not really like a premium pro fessional console, the differences are not so notable, it could have been much better like twice as fast but it would have mean a big gap vs the ps5..but still the price has been doubled, no disk drive and stand makes it even cheaper and a stand is a must. I realky hope that they will make a limited edition similar to the 500 million one as this one is by no means premium
All in one video, concise and to the point. Bravo! Subbed!
I'm not saying people shouldn't buy it if you want to buy it you should but for me the difference isn't worth trading in my launch PlayStation 5 to get this one after the trouble I went through to get the base ps5 in the first place back in 2021 with all the scalpers buying them all...plus I was lucky to get the Spiderman 2 faceplates for my ps5 so that's another reason
That's pretty much the last custom cover ps has done so far and I don't think the og ps5 is gonna get anymore custom covers, not even any more color console covers. Imma just have to buy all console covers for the OG model, I'm afraid they might be gone after a while.
Honestly I thought the scalpers would be a problem. But I was able to order one from my job this morning. (15% discount for the win baby)
I was hoping for a more radical design change myself. This is still nicer than the base PS5 and the shape makes more sense with the pro’s reduced footprint. Also at this price I was disappointed that this had zero pack-ins or extras. Even apple gives you a little ‘woohoo!’ moment with a sticker to show off your brand support if you care about that kind of stuff.
The Pro is louder than the OG models fan for sure.
I can hear the Pro fan from roughly 1 metre away on my desk with my headphones on (open back Beyer tygr 300r) when i have all audio muted, when I could never hear the fan on my OG PS5.
I was lucky with the OG PS5, I had the good fan + I had Dbrand darkplates with the fan cut out, so never had any overheating issues.
I can definitely hear the pro fan when playing games, it's only subtle, but it is there. I wonder if the OG fan would fit the pro if i swapped them & plugged it in?
Awesome stuff, keep it up Ryan!
Thank you, I did find your video useful. I just got the PS5 Pro. 😊
I hope jailbreaks will eliminate the need for online drive registration
It's probable due to the Hollywood requirement. Seem strange they would need to bother otherwise. They port all the big first party games to Windows anyway. Where it can and will be no effort pirated by millions without the expensive and complicated hardware hacks needed in every PS5 system someone would feel tempted to do the same in.
Does anyone know what happens if you factory reset and format a PS5 after the drive was paired to the system? Do you need to re-pair it, or it remains connected to that system?
Personally not worth the 700+ upgrade considering the pro enhanced games are still capped at 30fps, no disc drive
Exactly.
They aren't capped at 30fps though
What is the diameter od the new vertical stand?
PS portal still stutters with the ps5 pro, FYI.
My portal works flawlessly no stutter don’t know about you
That’s because the stuttering is caused by internet speed, not the ability of the console itself
Its should be illegal that it is so expensive but has no cd player included, Sony seems wanting to extract down to the last cent of their customers.
If you really want Quality Mode at 60fps, go for the Pro. If you're ok with Quality Mode at 30fps, stick with the normal standard ps5.
Performance is good enough, we play games we don't zoom in and sightsee with binoculars.
Anyone know a simple workable horizontal stand for the ps5 pro? The stands from the disc drive doesn’t really work out, the ps5 pro still touches the surface with those stands, craziness.
Buying a ps5 today is like a IKEA table, it's all detached parts. It's almost 900 euros for the stand + ps5 + disc drive... maybe when it's a lil cheaper cause I need a new one because my launch one is getting tired lmao
I bought a third party stand from Amazon that is half the price and looks and works identical to the Sony branded one.
My PS5 Pro also has coil whine, I exchanged mine on the first day. I got a new one and it's exactly the same. It's as you say though. Sensitive people might not be able to hear it, others might not, but it's definitely there. And it varies from game to game.
It’s not a defect it’s just how power supplies are when they have a load on them. You can hear the same thing in PCs or if you stand next to a power pole with a big transformer on it you can hear the wine as well. It’s not a defect but I can understand sensitive people might find it annoying but really the audio from my sound system drowns it out so I don’t even hear when playing games.
I expect it'll be like the launch day ps5 with about 70% of them having the cheap capacitors. My pro also has significant coil whine. I did return my og ps5 the very first week 4 years ago, but the one they returned was even worse.. This time I'll be smarter and buy a very long hdmi cable and return it in 12 months when they have a better revision. But I feel like it's important to return them at some point as Sony need to learn this is not ok. Also not all human brains are annoyed buy this, but quite a few are. Especially those with ASD.
@@Jasonsadventures Bro, you speak from my heart, I will do exactly the same as you. Firstly, I will get a long HDMI cable, that's a very good idea. Secondly, the PS5 Pro will be returned after twelve months, when we are still just within the warranty. Thirdly, I was diagnosed with ADHD at 34 and I find this coil beeping noise extremely annoying. And last but not least, yes, Sony must learn from simply installing cheap capacitors. But then charging such a high price. I mean, OK, we are graphics enthusiasts, we love it, but I think you have to be fair.
@@Withtheclaw how do you return it within a year?
@@Talisac80 I took out an additional warranty through the store where I bought it, which also covers things like this.
Was waiting specifically for you Mystic
For me I get the stand on Temu because they have one that lights up to match the blue light on the system and it cheaper and nice looking. 😅😂
Until it blows up your usb port, assuming the light is powered over usb
So weird I can’t restore my data onto a pro from a USB storage device even though I performed a reformat, backed up database, traded og ps5, waiting with peace of mind for pro, now can’t even recognize USB drive to restore…🤢
That coil whine would drive me nuts.
It's not that bad it depends which game you playing base playstation 5 whas much worser
I recently picked up a ps5 pro, and it’s definitely louder then the regular fat ps5
Maybe you can also use the stand to secure the console to a surface so that you can't accidentally pull down the whole unit when using the tethered PSVR2?
$700 without a disc drive is crazy work
800 with one added, crazy
For real
I've got one, and it's certainly a £220 upgrade over the OG from what I've seen so far. It'll only get better next year as well once folk start releasing games made with it in mind. I had some fairly big achievments this year and I had the money spare so I thought fuck it why not?
It's pretty clearly aimed at enthusiasts, so it's not like every PS5 owner is gonna buy one or even be expected to. If you're into your tech and you want the best possible visuals + performance it's an awesome piece of engineering, and you'll probably really enjoy it. If you're not that fussed about all that just save your money man. It seems to be a really solid mid-gen upgrade but the OG is still an excellent console and will be for many years yet
@@brucewaynenotbatman Because it was new just like a new phone stop supporting this nonsense that’s why these companies do it because you have no backbone only “Consume products and get excited for next” as years pass by it supposed to be cheaper not backwards especially a platform with such a weak lineup after four years
@@balloonedraccoon2503 so I’m guessing adding one for $800 would be better ??
I want to say my husband is a biggest fan of your page. He is a die hard PlayStation and one day he wants to stream he stuff in RUclips.
I was hoping they will finally solve the coil whine thing on this expensive console.
I was wrong.
That is one thing I’ll give to Xbox, the quality of just everything from the internal design, to the components inside to the layout etc, it is just so incredibly well built and honestly makes PlayStations look cheap on the inside even the pro… and it’s just a smaller quieter console. Nothing wrong with ps of course they are amazing but I cannot say the same about quality. And they seem to break more than Xbox series X’s I’ve seen in repair shops etc etc
@@ARXInfiniteJust want to add, the only reason you’re seeing more ps5’s in repair shops is due to there simply being two are three times as many PS5’s as there is Series consoles.
@@ARXInfiniteyeah here comes the fake ass I see more in repairs shop story
@@ARXInfiniteSeries X is very well built and the hardware is better. No need to get a Pro if you have a Series X because it is going to run future titles like GTA 6 just fine.
I think the packaging box is more stable too for Xbox series. Not sure since I never touched one in person. But I do know the Nintendo switch box is very solid and not flimsy like the PS5 box. Seems like they would have made the ps5 packaging box more solid since it is bigger than the other two competitors consoles.
I have it but only see minor graphics improvement. Last of us 2 rm yes, Spiderman 2 very little, BO6 not sure if framerate or just my personal hope? Guess Ghost of Yotai and other new titles will rock
My ps5 pro has horrible fan noise..
I played mine yestrday for about 10 hours😂 and mine doesnt have coil whine yet. To note i did play spiderman 2 on fidelity pro mode
As for the thumbnail, what did Sony not tell us? The position of the CMOS battery? The disc drive handshake? I don't see anything that they should have told us beforehand.
Enjoying my pro!
Thank you for mentioning that small yet important detail about the plastic feet because I hadn’t seen anyone mention the difference in size yet.
When I opened up the PS5 Pro box and the plastic feet included weren’t long enough to keep my PS5 pro from becoming slanted when I had the disc drive attached. I didn’t know at first there was feet that came with the disc drive box. (I opened the box from the bottom. So I did not initially see them). Once I switched out the feet. The Pro wasn’t lopsided anymore.
Also additional note. I notice the disc drive is very loud. I feel it’s even louder than the OG PS5.
Just what you'd expect from a 'premium' 'pro' product hey. Money well spent then
How is people like you able to buy a ps5 let alone make money...... Unbelievable
Can you attach the disk drive to a PS5 pro and have it be fully functional offline and without any internet connection?
Melissa jump scare @ 5:09
Listening to some podcasts, they mention the fan is worse than the PS4 pro Harrier jump jet, just wondered if you can confirm?
In the 4 on some games playing it late at night it was deafening .
800€ and feels cheap af. The packaging, the glossy plastics, coil whine... after dropping that much of money you expect something better. I know the important stuff is the performance but all counts...Sony should improve on this.
I want to know does it put off as many BTUs as the original because damn my original blasts some heat.
i got the ps5 slim with disc and i bought the spider man 2 face plates
The spiderman 2 face plates were never released for the slim. Where did you get yours from?
So... I have a standard PS5 with disc drive, and I have many many hrs on it. I've already had it apart a couple times to clean out the lint which this thing acts like a vacuum cleaner for the room. Another issue I am concerned with is how hot my PS5 seems to get and I wonder why sony hasn't offered a sort of "chill mat" as an accessory, and I'm wondering if you think a chill mat for a laptop would be a good thing to use ?
noise test 11:38
👍👍👍
I don't have an issue with coil whine but what's annoying is that I have a slight, high pitched noise/whistle every 2-3 seconds when the fan is running. My og PS5 was more quite than the pro, that's a let down...
