I’m feeling the ps5 pro. Every time a device launches in tech, they always say this is what it should have been at first. Tech evolves and fast but, manufacturing time, cost, RD and a lot goes into it. People can think this is incremental but it’s not. Yes no disc drive or stand , boohoo buy it separately. There are some that still use them I am not one of them. It comes with 2tb ssd now which is around 100-180 bucks by itself. If you were fortunate enough to buy a ps5 like I did at launch in 2020 for retail it’s been 4 years and I’ll trade it in for like 350 and I’m only paying 350. People spend over 300-500 a month drinking alcohol going to bars and clubs eating fast food everyday but can’t put away a few bucks for something they really enjoy. I’m a pc gamer with a much more expensive rig than the ps5 pro but I’m still getting it because the first party games are lit. If people don’t think it’s worth it then don’t buy it. People say the switch Oled at almost 400 dollars is worth it and that runs anything outside of Mario like dog trash but people still bought it. The OG ps2 was 300 in 2000 which was 24 years ago and think the tech in this isn’t worth the price? 🤔 but people buy phones every year worth double if not more lol. Oh and disc drive , it’s one thing that will be gone just like cars with no cd drives or cd players everything is going digital. It’s unfortunate but it’s reality. Just like headphone jacks lol 😂 people still would have bitched if the stand and disc drive were there, I do agree about the controller but I guess no pro version ever came with one.
I'm glad they added Wi-Fi 7, but PSN downloads are so slow, even over wired that I doubt it'll make a difference. They need to beef up their severs. Also they should've added a 2.5 gbe LAN port for the users like me that have a multigig connection. I still feel like you'd be better served with a $1000 PC. Then you dont have to pay $700 and $80 a year for online access and cloud saves. The value isn't there for to justify the price tag.
Needs to come with stand, controller, disk drive, and 4tb for that price. I blame apple for the whole bs "not including things that should be included" trend that everyone is doing now. Everyone's so greedy now.
I totally agree but people be so thirsty to have the latest tech. This is a test for Sony to see if we will be cool with paying close to $800 for slightly better graphics. I’m good with my p5 slim on performance mode but if this is gonna continue I’m just gonna build a pc. I paid close to $1000 for my p5 slim. The system $500 after taxes the stand $36 another remote $70 3d headset $115 oh and I had to buy a brand new 4k television $220 and that was dec 2023 and people will say why did you wait so long. Well you had scalpers with bots in 2020 tryna resell it for $800 to $1000 plus. I love PlayStation but $700 and no disc drive ,stand or ps pro controller is ridiculous for just slightly better graphics and some more memory. And on the day of announcing the ps5 pro the trade in value for the ps5 slim and ps5 og drop from $300 to $149. The disrespect is real. I hope nobody buys this system. Even though we know PlayStation is gonna bundle gta6 with this system. It’s cool though I just saw a game play preview of a game on pc called black state it’s like max Payne ,metal gear and the movie tenet mixed wit some science fiction based guns had a baby. Graphic’s wise and some of the game play preview along with Sony making things more expensive is making me lean twords taking the leap from console to pc faster than I wanted to 😢
Completely agree, I'm not gonna pre order and hope the majority vote with me but if they sell out I'll end up getting one as soon as it's available as I don't wanna miss out 🤦🏼
Thats xbox not sony lol, to be honest back in the say they were pushing out less games and more technically terrible games but since the internet wasn't big nobody was complaining
I have to have the optical drive as well. I'll still buy digital, but only if it's at a deeeep discount, as in disposable price. But if I'm paying more than about 10 bucks, I want the disc so I have the option of trading it or selling it.
What's crazy diabolical, folks pay over 1000 bucks for a new phone every year, and now all of sudden, a 700 dollar console is too much 😂 if your pockets can't handle it, don't buy it.
It's a called value for money. If people think it's worth it, they will spend it. $£700 to see blades of grass better isn't enough to improve the gaming experience to make it really worth that difference.... The phone market is stupid id give you that. Anyone buying a new iPhone this year despite buying the iPhone last year may need their head examined 😂
@@blastu2fool here’s the thing tech is expensive, the upgrades alone are worth it, it’s not about a more detailed blade of grass it’s the total system output being able to maintain 60-FPS or higher without sacrificing graphic fidelity. I don’t really like playing games under 60 FPS unless it’s something on a handheld. For me the jump is worth it for one I don’t use or need the disc drive as I stopped buying physical games when the ps5 came out on launch in 2020 for 500. As a pc gamer primarily I don’t have physical anything. So fast forward 4 years later I’ll trade in my ps5 probably get like 300-350 for it and the system will be 350. Oh and I can carry over my 2tb ssd that I upgraded in my og ps5 which was 200 dollars. Now I’ll have 4tb ssd on my ps5 pro. People spend hundreds of dollars on alcohol, clubs and bars and fast food but can set aside a little bit of money over time to purchase something they want. If people don’t feel the upgrade is worth it to them then don’t buy it. But don’t say it’s not worth it because like anything for some people it may make the difference. Tech evolves fast everyday , Sony esp sells their hardware at a loss and hopes to make sales off games and subscriptions just like about any other company nowadays. The ps2 was 300 in 2000. Fast forward 24 years later and the newest mid cycle version is 700. It’s about right. I remember when snes games were 45 dollars in the early 90s and now they are 60-70. The costs of things change.
The price is crazy bad but if they was to include the disc drive and stand then I think it would be ok id mist likely pull the trigger. But to have to buy them separately puts the PS5 pro over 800 dollars. It's just greed and anti-consumer.
Got to learn the prices of everything before you call it overpriced the GPU is 500 and the 2tb is 150 to 200 there is the ps5 pro price right there so they basically cut out the cost of production and the ps6 will cost over 850 when it comes out in about 3 and a half to 4 years just think about pricing of everything
Bro, honestly as I get older I game very casually. And none of these extra perks of this new pro console is worth the money. Sony is definitely doing a huge money grab with this and I think it’s going to backfire on them. Anyway, I enjoy your content brother. Blessings to you.
I’m with you, as I get older, I’m finding myself gaming less these days. I mean tbh I have been playing a few games lately and the new call of duty beta last weekend was fun, but Sony hasn’t been doing anything with my favorite IPs of theirs for years now so I feel no need to pick up a PS5 atp.
Lol it’s not the same thing as a consumer getting it, it’s part of his job so it makes more sense for him or any content creator to get it rather than maybe you or I to get it
Right 😂 they betting on enough people saying that same shit that they get the moneys worth an ah lil on the top mass majority still playing on PS4 and they think 700$ was the move 😅
Up to 60 fps is NOT 60 fps. I don't believe Sony one damn bit. 4K 60 FPS is not easy at acceptable graphics settings on a PC. I bet the price of a PS5 Pro that it doesn't lock at 4k 60 fps in games. AI upscaling is not 4K. It is 1440 or 1080P upscaled to look like 4k. So don't be lied to. Native 4K 60 is hard. Fake 4K is easy and that is what Sony is charging yall 700 dollars for
Facts. The Pro is just basically a XSX. XSX already scaled 1440p to 4K for 60 in some games. That's basically what the PS5Pro will do now instead of their 900p-1080p upscale the base PS5 did.
@@RUclipsCensorsyou do know the Xbox does not do that right? If the bass ps5 ain't doing it. The xsx ain't doing it. The xsx is still getting first part games at 30 fps lol
The raw price of 2TB doesn’t factor in with the increase as the OG already has 1TB. So realistically the price of 1TB additional is the increase not what a 2TB WD hard drive costs.
@@TheCdM1981 the ps5 does not have a tb in it. Remember when the ps5 came out. The SSD was not even on PC yet. And the tech in the pro ain't even out on amd cards yet
@@donnellbrown4575what are you even talking about PCIE Gen4 SSDs were out on PCs months before the PS5 launched. And even then games aren't even saturating gen 3 bandwidth let alone gen 4.
@@MrUploader14 you a lie. It was a few months after the ps5 came out that ssd came out that was on the ps5 lvl. Which is why you could not add a ssd to the ps5 when it was released. So stop lying.
700 isn't bad for what it is,but I can get people not buying it. The specs is a huge jump. But I can see people not buying it. I gotta have it for gta6
I’m with what’s funny is it’s was 700 with the disk when it first dropped only to find out 70% of games sales are digital and hard copy is only 30%… so to me spending 700 for the pro is kinda logical because not once have I bought a physical copy in 4 years

@@anthonywillis3676 spending 700 for some slight improvement is NPC BEHAVIOR
I think it's important to mention that the "short comings" of the PS5 compared to the price point is, completely, the fault of the scalpers and game developers. If the PS5 wasn't so elusive for so long ( at a resale average of *$1500* ), game developers would have prioritized what was known as "next-gen" consoles at that time... Games and their developers, *TO THIS DAY* , include PS4 compatibility for this reason. The stock of the PS5 was there, by the way, the first day alone was at around 5 million units. So the scalping of the console was what made it so hard for developers to prioritize it because they would lose sales of their games since most people didn't have the PS5 at release. The pandemic allowed a lot of people who were at home to start the resale business and whatnot; reselling limited fashion items, collectibles, and electronics so it gatekept many gamers from buying *what would have been* next-gen exclusives. You can see the difference in graphics of next-gen console games. You just can't expect developers to make double the amount of ports for old-gen consoles without sacrificing performance (frame rate, refresh, ray-tracing, etc.). It's like making *one* game for PS4 (limited capability) and *one* game for PS5 (max performance). That's a lot of money they would lose. And that's why the PS5 Pro is introducing AI upscaling to old-gen games.
If i look at a base ps5 for 500 dollars, this is saying the pro contains 200 dollars worth of upgrades. From that perspective it sounds pretty spot on with the price to me..
@@chillnspace777 if no disc drive, and no stand is a deal breaker for you, then this system is NOT FOR YOU, and that is OK. Sony has already stated that this system is geared towards a certain demographic of gamer, it understands who this system is for, who is gonna buy, who is gonna want it, etc, and they know that the folks who are complaining about no stand, and no drive are not their target audience. They also understand that this system will not replace anyone's PS5. That's not what it's here for. If anything it's meant to give us a preview of what we can expect to see in a PS6 whenever they decide to release it. If you want to buy it, then buy, if you don't, then don't. Everyone who seriously wants to purchase it, or is considering purchasing this console is not in the slightest bit concerned about the lack of disc drive and stand, like pretty much every PC player that is also talking shit about no disc drive, have a digital library.
Now all the breakdowns have been done of the Pro, I've got a new favourite hobby... Going through RUclipsrs old videos of them slating the pro and saying they won't buy it, when they now are ordering them and saying the changes are substantial 😂 Respect to you though, you said you were ordering from day 1
The unfortunate thing is RUclipsrs buying the PS5 Pro to review it will incentivize viewers to buy it. Regardless of the popularity negative feedback because of Sony’s brand being so powerful.
Im selling my ps5 for 350 which brings the pro price down to 350, its amazing how people is willing to pay over 2000 dollars every year for the newest iPhone or galaxy phone but 699 is to much for something thats gonna be around longer than that phone. People willing to spend 700 to 800 on a handheld system with no problem, if you really look at it sony taking another lost because you getting way better everything and a 2tb ssd for 200 bucks more, that ssd alone is 200 by itself
NO ONE IS BUYING SAMSUNGA AND APPLE EVERY YEAR, PS5 PRO IS NOT WORTH IT WE STILL GOTTA BUY THE DISC DRIVE, GAMES, VERTICAL STAND, PS PLUS SUBSCRIPTION and as a person who donot own a ps and wanted to buy one this feels like a theft to my pocket. They are not even including the pro controller man? Like seriously why did you make the pro controller, it should've been provided with the along side disk drive and vertical stand.
@@anshxbabbar so stick with the regular p5 nobody forcing you to upgrade, it's clearly for the people with a 4ktv 120hz vrr if you don't have that don't even look in the pro direction
Yea but paying 600-700 in a handheld gaming PC they get Xbox and PS games at much cheaper prices thanks to steam sales. Plus they can emulate switch and every other console. So that's justifiable in and if itself for some.
@@tashynemusic well technically the pspro is the same price as the og 5 because that 2tb SSD is 200 by itself so you really just paying for extra storage. I totally agree with the handheld but that's not taking advantage of my 4k 120hz tv that's where my PlayStation comes into play. My rog ally on a 2k portable monitor got the games looking like they being played on a 2000 dollar pc it's mind boggling what I'm achieving with that handheld, 6 gigs of vram change everything
honesty they can charge over 1000 and sadly they will still have trouble keeping up with demand. My PS5 actually cost more than this (pandemic pricing shenanigans). smh
The only problem I have is that it should’ve came with the disk drive but I don’t use disk so it doesn’t really matter to me only if someone wanna present me a game,we’re paying more for the gpu and storage, 170 for a 2tb , how much more would you pay for a better ps5 gpu ?
Naw the 700 dollar tag is the real problem forget the statement it isn’t the real problem the other issues just make it worse the ps4 pro came out the same price as the OG ps4
Fools will still purchase the pro. And yes the $700 price is a big issue, it’s an absolute disgrace and to top it off, there’s no controller. He’ll no, not for me. My plain old ps5 will do just fine.
TBH The Fact That Microsoft isn't Making a Mid Gen Refresh is Another Reason Why Sony Can Sell The Pro For $700 & 800 Dollars. Also, to my knowledge they wanted to charge $600 initially for the PS5, but when Microsoft came with a $499 tag for the Series X They Had no Choice, but to lower the cost of PS5. People better get use to these prices for consoles because I can tell you that the days of $400-500 consoles ARE 4EVER GONE, SAD, BUT TRUE!
I thought Microsoft was putting out a mid-gen refresh. Isn’t the 2TB Series X that drops this holiday season count as one? Or is it just the storage space that’s getting upgraded?
@@sneakykamonjust storage and galaxy star design. It's just a special edition Series X. Xbox said they're not doing a mid gen refresh they're just going to jump to the next gen. Rumors are their next gen console is coming 2026-2027.
Should have done the Apple marketing trick. Priced it at $650 with the stand and disk. Ps5 is (hopefully) at $450 this holiday season. Then people would be baited to pick up the higher end model for a few hundred more
RUclipsrs are our voices. We have the power. We control the greed if we GAMERS stick together. They will break. Again though RUclipsrs have to speak for us if they aren’t controlled by them.
Watch Most of them either get it for free, or buy it day 1; don't take their opinion as facts, because I've seen idiots say "don't buy this product", then upload an unpacking video later on. RUclipsrs are just capitalizing on the moment because everyone is screeching about the price.
The greed with these companies starting to pissed me off with these high prices. Next thing you know PS6 will cost $1500, also PlayStation I promise you I want buy PlayStation pro
Honestly even $500 would have been kinda high but something I could stomach. It would’ve made more sense for Sony to drop the price of the Base PS5 by $50-$100 and price the pro around $500. Going into holiday season too
I'm not gonna sit here and expect to see a difference in GTA6 based on what we saw here. Dunno about anybody else, but I wasn't able to tell any extra frames or visuals in comparisons of PS4 games running on PS5 Pro.
What’s up my man! Ty for piggy backing off my WiFi 7 comment earlier this morning. I think that most people who bought ps5 also bought external hard drive. I bought fire cuda 2tb and that was another 250$ So original purchase was $750 If you are a new customer this at 700$ is a better system, and has 2tb and the WiFi 7 is key for having the fastest internet any console has ever seen. I wish Sony did it for $600! That would have been awesome. But I also wish I had an option to spend the same $700 for this system instead of my original purchase. My opinion is as a new customer the ps5 pro is a great purchase. As an old customer, the $700 is hard to swallow since we already spent $700 4 years ago. So the current loyal customers get screwed and that’s not right. But the new customers have a huge advantage and it a fantastic purchase.
In no way is this thing great purchase for anyone. Do the math the console is $780 alone after tax not including in online subscription service and games. Also accessories like the stand and a disc drive.
For the casual fan base the PS5 pro isnt needed. But i can see if you only play competitive fps games like cod,valorant, and apex the pro might be worth getting. I can see input latency for these game will he slightly improved due to a better gpu. But if youre already paying 700-800 bucks might as well save up towards to a decent gaming pc rig
The Pros needs to start coming out first, when prices are going up with games especially. Then they can come out with a slim later. They need to start coming out with 2TB, or at least 3TB not keeping the original at 1TB. That TB in the system is useless these days.
Aye I feel you man, like I feel betrayed I been waiting for this console but then the price tag is crazy all love bro hope to see your review on the new ps5
People don't seem to understand that the pro is for a specific audience if you have a ps5 and you don't care about performance you don't need pro graphics card are selling for $800 up to $2000 plus so I have no problem with the price its still way cheaper than a decent gaming pc
It’s still going to be cheaper than building a computer. I don’t mind spending the money. I have a PC, PS5 Slim, and Xbox Series X. If there’s a problem with the price don’t buy it. It’s that simple.
Also a ps5 pro requires a special display not mentioned. Like most ps5 users hook it to a tv. To see the full graphical quality on a Standard PS5 needs to be run on a gaming monitor at 1440p 120hz. But also to see that difference will the game you play have a specific graphics preset in quality difference comparison. So the game has to be Ps5 pro enhanced, the monitor capable of that resolution and hertz. And will the software actually add quality and extra eye candy? To own a $500 ps5 then sell it to by a $750 ps5 pro for a small enhancement…. Mmmm idk 🤷♂️ Seems like a big stretch for the price
Totally should've included everything that you mentioned in this video. Especially for me since I prefer better visuals over performance and don't really have a need for performance mode.
This is basically how much you will be paying for the PlayStation 5 Pro that all these big channels seem to be forgetting is going to cost players even more money. *$700.00 + Tax for PS5 PRO Console.* *$80.00-For a PS5 Disc Drive.* *$30.99-PS5 Console Vertical Stand.* *Which totals $810.00 + Tax.* Then Compile the cost of the lowest Playstation Plus service which most Gamers will be able to afford but will also add on to the cost of the PlayStation 5 Pro experience which is basically. *$80.00-PS+ Essential* And if you want a new controller to go with that if you want to have a friend play with you on the PlayStation 5 Pro here is the cost of the controller, and because of PlayStation adding a few more dollars to the cost of the controller which was very sneaky of PlayStation. *$75.00-All PS5 Controllers Price* *$965.00 + Tax* is the subtotal that you will have to pay in total for the PlayStation 5 Pro experience with the complete set of everything.
Both you guys are ridiculous. Go ahead and support dumb anti consumer policies from Sony. You’re not smart enough to understand your being ripped off. It’s not a money problem is a common sense problem.
Wholeheartedly agree with everything that CKid said. No disc drive, no vertical stand, STILL no FULL backwards compatibility which you WOULD expect from a Pro refresh, and they are asking for over $1000 (in Australia that is)? HARD PASS for me. Would have been nice too if they had increased the internal storage even more too. Because realistically, depending on the game what is an extra terabyte going to give you? Considering how much storage said games take up these days and depending on the game, probably not much. Okay, so they increased the GPU and performance? Big deal and that's not really a reason for me to buy it. And before anyone calls CKid out for what he said about not getting it and then saying he would 48 seconds later, he's a content creator and for some or most, their literal job is to buy the console and test it out for content for their channel and to definitively tell subscribers whether to buy it or not.
This is a hard pass for me! Imagine if they had thrown a curve ball and announced a PS Handheld like an Ally or LeGo at $600. The internet would be on fire and there would be a hole in my wallet.
I’m one of those people who are barely rocking the PS3. I got one used with a bunch of games for cheap. I skipped on the PS4 and the 30th Anniversary will be my first PS5. So, $1080, including the price of an external disc drive, was actually a “bargain” if I consider that I never paid for a PS4 or a PS5 prior.
I understand that 700 dollars is a lot however how much would it cost you to buy or build a pc that can run new games at native 4k 60 frames with ray tracing on (ultra settings). People should consider this when it comes to price, value and convenience
So dumb listening to people say "it's not for me too expensive" Hey, genius' if you trade in your PS5 to gamestop. They'll give you 300 for it. So it will cost you 400.
@grimvisis first, it's (too expensive) second, then don't get it. The pro will still sell well. I'm getting it. Trading in my ps5 and it will only cost me 400. And I'll have a badazz Playstation on 8k. It's not for everyone. Just like expensive cars aren't for everyone. Some people can afford a McLaren, and some people can afford a Chevy Cobalt.
I get the sticker shock, the price sucks....but...the new Series X midnight edition that launches 15 oct is a digital only standard series X with an updated shell and 2 TB ssd is 600 so the Pro is only 100 more. So taking the extra cost for disc drive and stand etc out of the picture ...which is ridiculous that they are not included and just looking at the increase in power. Is it really that bad?
I really like your intro, finally someone said it. As far as I remember they promised 4k 60/120 fps and 8k 30 fps for ps5, but most games can only run 4k 60 fps at performance mode let alone running 120 FPS. They remastered The Last of Us 2 from PS4 and it can only run 4k 30 fps, that's ridiculous and like you said now they expect us to pay $700 or even 800€ which is around $880 in Europe for what they promised for ps5 in 2020. I was gonna buy ps5 pro cuz I was expecting a price of around 600-650€ and buy an 800€ pc for CS2 and home and work stuff, now I bought an 1800€ gaming pc, components start arriving next week, f**k Sony.
Mannn they tripping with this price point, it needs to come with at least 4tb and a dualedge controller and more games that actually take advantage of this system capabilities, including the controller capabilities.
I wanted to play ff7 rebirth with ray tracing and bunch of other games in 60 fps fidelity mode. The cost of an equivalent pc build is so much higher. I would check out how the performance is and might think of buying it. It's expensive but building an equivalent performance pc still costs me more money.
I'm still waiting for the PS5 to come out in a not ugly model, and enough good games to make it worthwhile. I'm in the process of reinvigorating a PS4 pro right now (replacing the HD with a 2TB SSD). Still a great system.
Don,t be a braindead consumer and don,t buy their $700:00 PS5 Pro which is anything but and let Sony suffer the cost for games that doesn’t justify the co$t.
$700 just for 120 fps is absolutely insane . Like any updates for the heat problems ? Better fans ? As you said it just seems like they are charging us $700!!! For something that seems like it should have been fixed in an update lol
I’m actually happy and excited for this upgrade. The 2TB installed into the Pro is a great win to me. That’s exactly why it’s $700 cause those 2TB hard drives run at least $150-$250. I’ll be upgrading for sure and will have 3 total PS5s in my household for my wife and kids to play online with me while I play on the Pro. GREATNESS AWAITS!!!!!!
The only reason I don't have a ps5 is because of the lack of games...I owned a ps5 purchased one, so I could play God of war Ragnarök. Kept it for about 6 months and sold it due to not having enough game titles that kept me interested in the console... Demon souls was like the only game I really liked. Only other games I want to play is that new Astro bot - GTA6 - FF16 - Stellar Blade... not enough to keep a console for unfortunately. I know there's a ton of other games but nothing I am interested in. Ghost of Tashima great looking game got bored after 2hrs is also on pc now, last of us 2 hopefully comes to pc soon want to play it... FF16 is coming to pc very soon I'm def excited for that title. Was looking forward to the ps5 pro so I could buy it to play gta6 but with that price point not sure if it'll be worth it. Just not enough exclusives I am interested in. I'd play the shit out of gta6 and then it'll just sit there collecting dust just like my ps5 did... I have a PC RTX 4080 w 13th gen i9 and a 55in cx oled so I'm all set for decent high end gaming...
The only issue I have is the got damn stand is not included. The price is worth 700 buck if you understand the tech that you are getting with the PS5 Pro. But understand if you dont have the equipment to handle the PS5 Pro (i.e. TV, Monitor, ISP, Modem, & Router) dont waste your money and keep your OG PS5s and PS4s
How y'all feeling about the PS5 Pro?
Best Wi-Fi 7 Router - amzn.to/3x2Clsh (Amazon) or go.magik.ly/ml/22vfp/ (Best Buy)

People spend over 300-500 a month drinking alcohol going to bars and clubs eating fast food everyday but can’t put away a few bucks for something they really enjoy. I’m a pc gamer with a much more expensive rig than the ps5 pro but I’m still getting it because the first party games are lit.
If people don’t think it’s worth it then don’t buy it. People say the switch Oled at almost 400 dollars is worth it and that runs anything outside of Mario like dog trash but people still bought it. The OG ps2 was 300 in 2000 which was 24 years ago and think the tech in this isn’t worth the price? 🤔 but people buy phones every year worth double if not more lol. Oh and disc drive , it’s one thing that will be gone just like cars with no cd drives or cd players everything is going digital. It’s unfortunate but it’s reality. Just like headphone jacks lol 😂 people still would have bitched if the stand and disc drive were there, I do agree about the controller but I guess no pro version ever came with one.
The $700 price lost me, was hoping for $499.
When u want a disc drive and stand with it . The price is almost 2 normals ps5 it’s crazy
I'm glad they added Wi-Fi 7, but PSN downloads are so slow, even over wired that I doubt it'll make a difference. They need to beef up their severs. Also they should've added a 2.5 gbe LAN port for the users like me that have a multigig connection. I still feel like you'd be better served with a $1000 PC. Then you dont have to pay $700 and $80 a year for online access and cloud saves. The value isn't there for to justify the price tag.

Needs to come with stand, controller, disk drive, and 4tb for that price.
I blame apple for the whole bs "not including things that should be included" trend that everyone is doing now. Everyone's so greedy now.
4TB would be wild to get but I'd love that haha.
@@CKidM lol yea, your right 4 might be a little wild. 2 would be acceptable, with the other stuff.
4tb is asking for to much. However it should have had a huge performance leap like the Xbox One X over the Xbox One.
Sobi can tell you thank the people who were paying 1500 dollars for the regular ps5 when it was in demand. Sony was watching, trust me.
I didn't catch the 2 tb that alone is what $200?
We control the price we have the power but we just don't stick together. If we don't buy they're gonna drop prices.
💯
Absolutely
Facts
I totally agree but people be so thirsty to have the latest tech. This is a test for Sony to see if we will be cool with paying close to $800 for slightly better graphics. I’m good with my p5 slim on performance mode but if this is gonna continue I’m just gonna build a pc. I paid close to $1000 for my p5 slim. The system $500 after taxes the stand $36 another remote $70 3d headset $115 oh and I had to buy a brand new 4k television $220 and that was dec 2023 and people will say why did you wait so long. Well you had scalpers with bots in 2020 tryna resell it for $800 to $1000 plus. I love PlayStation but $700 and no disc drive ,stand or ps pro controller is ridiculous for just slightly better graphics and some more memory. And on the day of announcing the ps5 pro the trade in value for the ps5 slim and ps5 og drop from $300 to $149. The disrespect is real. I hope nobody buys this system. Even though we know PlayStation is gonna bundle gta6 with this system. It’s cool though I just saw a game play preview of a game on pc called black state it’s like max Payne ,metal gear and the movie tenet mixed wit some science fiction based guns had a baby. Graphic’s wise and some of the game play preview along with Sony making things more expensive is making me lean twords taking the leap from console to pc faster than I wanted to 😢
Completely agree, I'm not gonna pre order and hope the majority vote with me but if they sell out I'll end up getting one as soon as it's available as I don't wanna miss out 🤦🏼
I will say it for me I will still keep my PS5 I have for right now because it's still look good 💯
Yea I can't front it's a tough sale. I had to keep it a bean
Big facts. My ps5 is good as is now
I feel yall but i hate picking between fidelity or performance…i dont wanna play gta6 on performance mode when i can have both im getting it🤷🏽♂️
Yeah bro. Get warhammer or black myth:wukong to add value
💯
Ps5 still a beast….
There’s no need for me to get the pro!!!
Showin off ps4 games is wild
lol
That's the main problem isn't it? Sony is pushing out more game tech than actual games. What's the point of all this tech with no games to match?
Thats xbox not sony lol, to be honest back in the say they were pushing out less games and more technically terrible games but since the internet wasn't big nobody was complaining
@@e.l.4860game devs knowing what they can do based off that. But we won’t get into game not trying these days.

No disc drive => no chance of me buying the console. I either own my games physically or I simply don't buy any.
If you have the diss slim PS5. The disc drive from the PS5 slim will fit the PS5 Pro
Those disk dont even have games on them anymore. They just initiate the download
@@bray2079the disc gives you guarentee that the game remains with you even if someone hacks ur account, account gete banned, server effs up.
I have to have the optical drive as well. I'll still buy digital, but only if it's at a deeeep discount, as in disposable price. But if I'm paying more than about 10 bucks, I want the disc so I have the option of trading it or selling it.
No disc drive?!?! $700?!?! they can keep it
Everything comes down to the price of it 700 is way too much money
I completely agree
I make that shit in 3 days.
@TERMINATOR..2024 that's doesn't automatically make it ok wtf ps3 was wayy better and didn't charge us a dick and a ball just to have fun
Not having a disk drive for 700$ is Diabolical work. They one shot killed alit of sale's with that fr💀
What's crazy diabolical, folks pay over 1000 bucks for a new phone every year, and now all of sudden, a 700 dollar console is too much 😂 if your pockets can't handle it, don't buy it.
It's a called value for money. If people think it's worth it, they will spend it. $£700 to see blades of grass better isn't enough to improve the gaming experience to make it really worth that difference....
The phone market is stupid id give you that. Anyone buying a new iPhone this year despite buying the iPhone last year may need their head examined 😂
@@blastu2fool here’s the thing tech is expensive, the upgrades alone are worth it, it’s not about a more detailed blade of grass it’s the total system output being able to maintain 60-FPS or higher without sacrificing graphic fidelity. I don’t really like playing games under 60 FPS unless it’s something on a handheld.
For me the jump is worth it for one I don’t use or need the disc drive as I stopped buying physical games when the ps5 came out on launch in 2020 for 500. As a pc gamer primarily I don’t have physical anything. So fast forward 4 years later I’ll trade in my ps5 probably get like 300-350 for it and the system will be 350. Oh and I can carry over my 2tb ssd that I upgraded in my og ps5 which was 200 dollars. Now I’ll have 4tb ssd on my ps5 pro.
People spend hundreds of dollars on alcohol, clubs and bars and fast food but can set aside a little bit of money over time to purchase something they want. If people don’t feel the upgrade is worth it to them then don’t buy it. But don’t say it’s not worth it because like anything for some people it may make the difference. Tech evolves fast everyday , Sony esp sells their hardware at a loss and hopes to make sales off games and subscriptions just like about any other company nowadays. The ps2 was 300 in 2000. Fast forward 24 years later and the newest mid cycle version is 700. It’s about right. I remember when snes games were 45 dollars in the early 90s and now they are 60-70. The costs of things change.
Yea like those that are gonna pre order for the new iPhone with also PS5 Pro.
Lol I'd rather get a pc then?
@@christohees9150pc is double the price of the 5 pro

The price is crazy bad but if they was to include the disc drive and stand then I think it would be ok id mist likely pull the trigger. But to have to buy them separately puts the PS5 pro over 800 dollars. It's just greed and anti-consumer.
Even with those things, it's still overpriced
Add the Pro Dual Sense Controller Too
@@The787200 💯 agree with that then it would be worth it all day
@@JonG-rican It's expensive no doubt. But you can't really call it overpriced. The GPU alone in this thing is $500
Got to learn the prices of everything before you call it overpriced the GPU is 500 and the 2tb is 150 to 200 there is the ps5 pro price right there so they basically cut out the cost of production and the ps6 will cost over 850 when it comes out in about 3 and a half to 4 years just think about pricing of everything
Bro, honestly as I get older I game very casually. And none of these extra perks of this new pro console is worth the money. Sony is definitely doing a huge money grab with this and I think it’s going to backfire on them. Anyway, I enjoy your content brother. Blessings to you.
Yea I think most people are in that same boat and I think them trying to compete with PC with this pricing is not the wave for the casual gamer.
I’m with you, as I get older, I’m finding myself gaming less these days. I mean tbh I have been playing a few games lately and the new call of duty beta last weekend was fun, but Sony hasn’t been doing anything with my favorite IPs of theirs for years now so I feel no need to pick up a PS5 atp.
The PS6 will be out before you know it anyway so why bother with buying the PS5 Pro
0s6 price coukd be baaad
Which will be 899 digital only
Console generations end every 7 years. So 2027 is expected but with covid maybe 2028-2029 for this gen.
I mean it’s their money
yeah more like 2028 lol, good luck with that one
Here in Canada, it'll be $960 💀 I'll be sticking with my regular PS5
HARD PASS? 0:48 seconds in the video he folds and says he is getting it. Bruh!
Only for his content not because he wanted to besides he Evan said the price was to much before that
Lol it’s not the same thing as a consumer getting it, it’s part of his job so it makes more sense for him or any content creator to get it rather than maybe you or I to get it

...for my "content"😂😂
Right 😂 they betting on enough people saying that same shit that they get the moneys worth an ah lil on the top mass majority still playing on PS4 and they think 700$ was the move 😅
What's the difference tho?
Up to 60 fps is NOT 60 fps. I don't believe Sony one damn bit. 4K 60 FPS is not easy at acceptable graphics settings on a PC. I bet the price of a PS5 Pro that it doesn't lock at 4k 60 fps in games. AI upscaling is not 4K. It is 1440 or 1080P upscaled to look like 4k. So don't be lied to. Native 4K 60 is hard. Fake 4K is easy and that is what Sony is charging yall 700 dollars for
Facts. The Pro is just basically a XSX. XSX already scaled 1440p to 4K for 60 in some games. That's basically what the PS5Pro will do now instead of their 900p-1080p upscale the base PS5 did.
Ps5nis different its optimized

@@RUclipsCensorsyou do know the Xbox does not do that right? If the bass ps5 ain't doing it. The xsx ain't doing it. The xsx is still getting first part games at 30 fps lol

Not feeling the price at all bro 😡
Yea I can't front it's a tough sale. I had to keep it funky wit yall
100000% agree with you bro playstion fumbled the bag with the price
What makes it even less worth it for me is spending so much money just to play a couple games, there is not enough games coming out
Nah facts I literally waited years to buy the PS5 cuz there was no point in buying it when there was no games lmfao
And who said you have to buy it? 😂
The raw price of 2TB doesn’t factor in with the increase as the OG already has 1TB. So realistically the price of 1TB additional is the increase not what a 2TB WD hard drive costs.
The og ps5 does not have a 1tb hard drive. It only has 850 lol
@@donnellbrown4575 I hope that was sarcasm.

You cooked on this bro ! Now that would be fire 🔥
700 isn't bad for what it is,but I can get people not buying it. The specs is a huge jump. But I can see people not buying it. I gotta have it for gta6
I’m with what’s funny is it’s was 700 with the disk when it first dropped only to find out 70% of games sales are digital and hard copy is only 30%… so to me spending 700 for the pro is kinda logical because not once have I bought a physical copy in 4 years
700 isn't bad is crazy why we acting the ps4 still ain't good and works just as fine
@@anthonywillis3676 spending 700 for some slight improvement is NPC BEHAVIOR
I think it's important to mention that the "short comings" of the PS5 compared to the price point is, completely, the fault of the scalpers and game developers. If the PS5 wasn't so elusive for so long ( at a resale average of *$1500* ), game developers would have prioritized what was known as "next-gen" consoles at that time... Games and their developers, *TO THIS DAY* , include PS4 compatibility for this reason. The stock of the PS5 was there, by the way, the first day alone was at around 5 million units. So the scalping of the console was what made it so hard for developers to prioritize it because they would lose sales of their games since most people didn't have the PS5 at release.
The pandemic allowed a lot of people who were at home to start the resale business and whatnot; reselling limited fashion items, collectibles, and electronics so it gatekept many gamers from buying *what would have been* next-gen exclusives. You can see the difference in graphics of next-gen console games. You just can't expect developers to make double the amount of ports for old-gen consoles without sacrificing performance (frame rate, refresh, ray-tracing, etc.). It's like making *one* game for PS4 (limited capability) and *one* game for PS5 (max performance). That's a lot of money they would lose. And that's why the PS5 Pro is introducing AI upscaling to old-gen games.
If i look at a base ps5 for 500 dollars, this is saying the pro contains 200 dollars worth of upgrades. From that perspective it sounds pretty spot on with the price to me..
This is what folks refuse to understand 😂 this whole situation is comical!
It's over $900 in the UK! Almost double! A joke!
@@MagicAyrtonforever so the expectation is the system would come with 50% more power across the board, and stay priced at $500?
@@casablancoent2029 if u own disks its now a 800 plus console. smh
@@chillnspace777 if no disc drive, and no stand is a deal breaker for you, then this system is NOT FOR YOU, and that is OK.
Sony has already stated that this system is geared towards a certain demographic of gamer, it understands who this system is for, who is gonna buy, who is gonna want it, etc, and they know that the folks who are complaining about no stand, and no drive are not their target audience.
They also understand that this system will not replace anyone's PS5. That's not what it's here for. If anything it's meant to give us a preview of what we can expect to see in a PS6 whenever they decide to release it.
If you want to buy it, then buy, if you don't, then don't.
Everyone who seriously wants to purchase it, or is considering purchasing this console is not in the slightest bit concerned about the lack of disc drive and stand, like pretty much every PC player that is also talking shit about no disc drive, have a digital library.
Now all the breakdowns have been done of the Pro, I've got a new favourite hobby...
Going through RUclipsrs old videos of them slating the pro and saying they won't buy it, when they now are ordering them and saying the changes are substantial 😂
Respect to you though, you said you were ordering from day 1
The unfortunate thing is RUclipsrs buying the PS5 Pro to review it will incentivize viewers to buy it. Regardless of the popularity negative feedback because of Sony’s brand being so powerful.
They have no integrity.. they do anything for content 😂

700 dollars is a big issue. Honestly too expensive. Will not upgrade at all at that price

Im selling my ps5 for 350 which brings the pro price down to 350, its amazing how people is willing to pay over 2000 dollars every year for the newest iPhone or galaxy phone but 699 is to much for something thats gonna be around longer than that phone. People willing to spend 700 to 800 on a handheld system with no problem, if you really look at it sony taking another lost because you getting way better everything and a 2tb ssd for 200 bucks more, that ssd alone is 200 by itself
I agree bro but the stand I mean the stand 😂
NO ONE IS BUYING SAMSUNGA AND APPLE EVERY YEAR, PS5 PRO IS NOT WORTH IT WE STILL GOTTA BUY THE DISC DRIVE, GAMES, VERTICAL STAND, PS PLUS SUBSCRIPTION and as a person who donot own a ps and wanted to buy one this feels like a theft to my pocket. They are not even including the pro controller man? Like seriously why did you make the pro controller, it should've been provided with the along side disk drive and vertical stand.
@@anshxbabbar so stick with the regular p5 nobody forcing you to upgrade, it's clearly for the people with a 4ktv 120hz vrr if you don't have that don't even look in the pro direction
Yea but paying 600-700 in a handheld gaming PC they get Xbox and PS games at much cheaper prices thanks to steam sales. Plus they can emulate switch and every other console. So that's justifiable in and if itself for some.
@@tashynemusic well technically the pspro is the same price as the og 5 because that 2tb SSD is 200 by itself so you really just paying for extra storage.

My rog ally on a 2k portable monitor got the games looking like they being played on a 2000 dollar pc it's mind boggling what I'm achieving with that handheld, 6 gigs of vram change everything
honesty they can charge over 1000 and sadly they will still have trouble keeping up with demand. My PS5 actually cost more than this (pandemic pricing shenanigans). smh
The only problem I have is that it should’ve came with the disk drive but I don’t use disk so it doesn’t really matter to me only if someone wanna present me a game,we’re paying more for the gpu and storage, 170 for a 2tb , how much more would you pay for a better ps5 gpu ?
Yea having the disk drive woulda been nice to have. For a better GPU I'd pay the $700 price tag lol
Remember they used the word targets....multiple times.
Naw the 700 dollar tag is the real problem forget the statement it isn’t the real problem the other issues just make it worse the ps4 pro came out the same price as the OG ps4
Fools will still purchase the pro. And yes the $700 price is a big issue, it’s an absolute disgrace and to top it off, there’s no controller. He’ll no, not for me. My plain old ps5 will do just fine.
TBH The Fact That Microsoft isn't Making a Mid Gen Refresh is Another Reason Why Sony Can Sell The Pro For $700 & 800 Dollars. Also, to my knowledge they wanted to charge $600 initially for the PS5, but when Microsoft came with a $499 tag for the Series X They Had no Choice, but to lower the cost of PS5. People better get use to these prices for consoles because I can tell you that the days of $400-500 consoles ARE 4EVER GONE, SAD, BUT TRUE!
I thought Microsoft was putting out a mid-gen refresh. Isn’t the 2TB Series X that drops this holiday season count as one? Or is it just the storage space that’s getting upgraded?
@@sneakykamonjust storage and galaxy star design. It's just a special edition Series X. Xbox said they're not doing a mid gen refresh they're just going to jump to the next gen. Rumors are their next gen console is coming 2026-2027.
The PS6 gonna launch at £799 - £899
Should have done the Apple marketing trick. Priced it at $650 with the stand and disk. Ps5 is (hopefully) at $450 this holiday season. Then people would be baited to pick up the higher end model for a few hundred more
PlayStation needs to give us a $400 trade in value for our PS5 disc versions.

Dunno about anybody else, but I wasn't able to tell any extra frames or visuals in comparisons of PS4 games running on PS5 Pro.
What’s up my man! Ty for piggy backing off my WiFi 7 comment earlier this morning.
I think that most people who bought ps5 also bought external hard drive. I bought fire cuda 2tb and that was another 250$
So original purchase was $750
If you are a new customer this at 700$ is a better system, and has 2tb and the WiFi 7 is key for having the fastest internet any console has ever seen.
I wish Sony did it for $600! That would have been awesome. But I also wish I had an option to spend the same $700 for this system instead of my original purchase.
My opinion is as a new customer the ps5 pro is a great purchase. As an old customer, the $700 is hard to swallow since we already spent $700 4 years ago. So the current loyal customers get screwed and that’s not right. But the new customers have a huge advantage and it a fantastic purchase.
In no way is this thing great purchase for anyone. Do the math the console is $780 alone after tax not including in online subscription service and games. Also accessories like the stand and a disc drive.
For the casual fan base the PS5 pro isnt needed. But i can see if you only play competitive fps games like cod,valorant, and apex the pro might be worth getting. I can see input latency for these game will he slightly improved due to a better gpu. But if youre already paying 700-800 bucks might as well save up towards to a decent gaming pc rig
All good points. It’s over priced and it needs to be cheaper
Yea I need that cheaper price fam
The Pros needs to start coming out first, when prices are going up with games especially. Then they can come out with a slim later. They need to start coming out with 2TB, or at least 3TB not keeping the original at 1TB. That TB in the system is useless these days.
Aye I feel you man, like I feel betrayed I been waiting for this console but then the price tag is crazy
all love bro hope to see your review on the new ps5
That's exactly the feeling I feel betrayed low key.
Hell I can build me a powerful gaming system for that price that performs and look just as good. Maybe even better
I hope they include the cardboard box too 😅
My PS5 box is already made from rice paper!
People don't seem to understand that the pro is for a specific audience if you have a ps5 and you don't care about performance you don't need pro graphics card are selling for $800 up to $2000 plus so I have no problem with the price its still way cheaper than a decent gaming pc
It’s still going to be cheaper than building a computer. I don’t mind spending the money. I have a PC, PS5 Slim, and Xbox Series X. If there’s a problem with the price don’t buy it. It’s that simple.
in New Zealand cost for the pro is 1400 disc drive is 170 and stand is 100 so we in New Zealand it is not worth the price
Digital only player here and I can’t wait to preorder my PS5 Pro
Also a ps5 pro requires a special display not mentioned. Like most ps5 users hook it to a tv. To see the full graphical quality on a Standard PS5 needs to be run on a gaming monitor at 1440p 120hz. But also to see that difference will the game you play have a specific graphics preset in quality difference comparison. So the game has to be Ps5 pro enhanced, the monitor capable of that resolution and hertz. And will the software actually add quality and extra eye candy? To own a $500 ps5 then sell it to by a $750 ps5 pro for a small enhancement…. Mmmm idk 🤷♂️ Seems like a big stretch for the price
stop pushing lies bro
It angers me they don’t include the stand and drive
That is why I won't be getting it.
Totally should've included everything that you mentioned in this video. Especially for me since I prefer better visuals over performance and don't really have a need for performance mode.
I own a business, whenever I want to move customers in a certain direction I overprice something. Sounds like Sony wants people to skip the pro
This is basically how much you will be paying for the PlayStation 5 Pro that all these big channels seem to be forgetting is going to cost players even more money.
*$700.00 + Tax for PS5 PRO Console.*
*$80.00-For a PS5 Disc Drive.*
*$30.99-PS5 Console Vertical Stand.*
*Which totals $810.00 + Tax.*
Then Compile the cost of the lowest Playstation Plus service which most Gamers will be able to afford but will also add on to the cost of the PlayStation 5 Pro experience which is basically.
*$80.00-PS+ Essential*
And if you want a new controller to go with that if you want to have a friend play with you on the PlayStation 5 Pro here is the cost of the controller, and because of PlayStation adding a few more dollars to the cost of the controller which was very sneaky of PlayStation.
*$75.00-All PS5 Controllers Price*
*$965.00 + Tax* is the subtotal that you will have to pay in total for the PlayStation 5 Pro experience with the complete set of everything.
I am glad i am in the navy and i don't have to pay tax.
Yeah and people pay now $1200 on a phone without charger and cover and they don’t bitch about it
Man... these gamers are far too cheap to be crying this much.
Both you guys are ridiculous. Go ahead and support dumb anti consumer policies from Sony. You’re not smart enough to understand your being ripped off. It’s not a money problem is a common sense problem.
So true
I get why console gamers complain. But pc gamers would pay 1000 bucks for just a graphics card.
@@RobertJackson-sl1mk bro!! Exactly!!
Wholeheartedly agree with everything that CKid said. No disc drive, no vertical stand, STILL no FULL backwards compatibility which you WOULD expect from a Pro refresh, and they are asking for over $1000 (in Australia that is)? HARD PASS for me. Would have been nice too if they had increased the internal storage even more too. Because realistically, depending on the game what is an extra terabyte going to give you? Considering how much storage said games take up these days and depending on the game, probably not much. Okay, so they increased the GPU and performance? Big deal and that's not really a reason for me to buy it. And before anyone calls CKid out for what he said about not getting it and then saying he would 48 seconds later, he's a content creator and for some or most, their literal job is to buy the console and test it out for content for their channel and to definitively tell subscribers whether to buy it or not.
Scalpers are to blame they know people will pay!!!! People were paying over $1000 for the PS5
Literally what i thought.
No we consumers are the ones to blame. We have the power of the wallet.
This is a hard pass for me! Imagine if they had thrown a curve ball and announced a PS Handheld like an Ally or LeGo at $600. The internet would be on fire and there would be a hole in my wallet.
Oh and no controller nah I'm good. Wack
Well you get the base controller but I wanted that DualSense Edge controller.
I’m one of those people who are barely rocking the PS3. I got one used with a bunch of games for cheap. I skipped on the PS4 and the 30th Anniversary will be my first PS5. So, $1080, including the price of an external disc drive, was actually a “bargain” if I consider that I never paid for a PS4 or a PS5 prior.
I can not wait for the ps5 pro
How do you call it pro but leave out features? I’m on my ps4 pro looking at the base ps5 disc edition instead.
If I didn't have a ps5 I would be getting the PS5 pro
That still would not make any sense. Almost double the price of a regular disk PS5 for just a little more graphics clarity.
Same. It's not worth the upgrade. But I would get it if I didn't had a ps5 already.
I understand that 700 dollars is a lot however how much would it cost you to buy or build a pc that can run new games at native 4k 60 frames with ray tracing on (ultra settings). People should consider this when it comes to price, value and convenience
I use my PC for work.. It's much better than a gaming console! Therefore worth much more.
So dumb listening to people say "it's not for me too expensive" Hey, genius' if you trade in your PS5 to gamestop. They'll give you 300 for it. So it will cost you 400.
What about people that don’t have anything to trade in? Still not worth it no matter how you put it
@latinochico that's your opinion. If your broke. Don't do it.
Still paying $700. It’s just to expensive
@grimvisis first, it's (too expensive) second, then don't get it. The pro will still sell well. I'm getting it. Trading in my ps5 and it will only cost me 400. And I'll have a badazz Playstation on 8k. It's not for everyone. Just like expensive cars aren't for everyone. Some people can afford a McLaren, and some people can afford a Chevy Cobalt.
I get the sticker shock, the price sucks....but...the new Series X midnight edition that launches 15 oct is a digital only standard series X with an updated shell and 2 TB ssd is 600 so the Pro is only 100 more. So taking the extra cost for disc drive and stand etc out of the picture ...which is ridiculous that they are not included and just looking at the increase in power. Is it really that bad?
no that $700 price tag is definitely a issue along with other things.
I really like your intro, finally someone said it. As far as I remember they promised 4k 60/120 fps and 8k 30 fps for ps5, but most games can only run 4k 60 fps at performance mode let alone running 120 FPS. They remastered The Last of Us 2 from PS4 and it can only run 4k 30 fps, that's ridiculous and like you said now they expect us to pay $700 or even 800€ which is around $880 in Europe for what they promised for ps5 in 2020. I was gonna buy ps5 pro cuz I was expecting a price of around 600-650€ and buy an 800€ pc for CS2 and home and work stuff, now I bought an 1800€ gaming pc, components start arriving next week, f**k Sony.
Appreciate it. Gotta always keep it 💯
You're right, not enough shown or proven that the pro is worth it. It legit made me mad they showed a ps4 game to show us how much better it is.....
I'll wait to become a PS6 Beta tester when it's released 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾
They didn’t mention anything on their proprietary link technology being built in either. Guess we’re stuck with the dongle which works half the time.
Mannn they tripping with this price point, it needs to come with at least 4tb and a dualedge controller and more games that actually take advantage of this system capabilities, including the controller capabilities.
I wanted to play ff7 rebirth with ray tracing and bunch of other games in 60 fps fidelity mode. The cost of an equivalent pc build is so much higher. I would check out how the performance is and might think of buying it. It's expensive but building an equivalent performance pc still costs me more money.
I've been waiting all these years with my base ps4 to get the pro but that price reveal hurt ,should i just get the slim disk version for 500?
Ima wait for about 2/3 more years for the PS6🤷🏽♂️
I'm still waiting for the PS5 to come out in a not ugly model, and enough good games to make it worthwhile. I'm in the process of reinvigorating a PS4 pro right now (replacing the HD with a 2TB SSD). Still a great system.
Don,t be a braindead consumer and don,t buy their $700:00 PS5 Pro which is anything but and let Sony suffer the cost for games that doesn’t justify the co$t.
$700 just for 120 fps is absolutely insane . Like any updates for the heat problems ? Better fans ? As you said it just seems like they are charging us $700!!! For something that seems like it should have been fixed in an update lol
You think Ps Link technology will come built in to the pro? Current 1st party headsets require a usb A dongle. But the pro has two usb c front ports
In my eyes a pro would be a smaller, more aggressive shell. 2TB, disk drive,two controllers and some anniversary swag in a big premium box..
Will thePS5 Slim Vertical Stand & Disc Drive work on the pro looks like they’re both the same size.
I’m actually happy and excited for this upgrade. The 2TB installed into the Pro is a great win to me. That’s exactly why it’s $700 cause those 2TB hard drives run at least $150-$250. I’ll be upgrading for sure and will have 3 total PS5s in my household for my wife and kids to play online with me while I play on the Pro. GREATNESS AWAITS!!!!!!
The only reason I don't have a ps5 is because of the lack of games...I owned a ps5 purchased one, so I could play God of war Ragnarök. Kept it for about 6 months and sold it due to not having enough game titles that kept me interested in the console... Demon souls was like the only game I really liked. Only other games I want to play is that new Astro bot - GTA6 - FF16 - Stellar Blade... not enough to keep a console for unfortunately. I know there's a ton of other games but nothing I am interested in. Ghost of Tashima great looking game got bored after 2hrs is also on pc now, last of us 2 hopefully comes to pc soon want to play it... FF16 is coming to pc very soon I'm def excited for that title. Was looking forward to the ps5 pro so I could buy it to play gta6 but with that price point not sure if it'll be worth it. Just not enough exclusives I am interested in. I'd play the shit out of gta6 and then it'll just sit there collecting dust just like my ps5 did...
I have a PC RTX 4080 w 13th gen i9 and a 55in cx oled so I'm all set for decent high end gaming...
The only issue I have is the got damn stand is not included. The price is worth 700 buck if you understand the tech that you are getting with the PS5 Pro. But understand if you dont have the equipment to handle the PS5 Pro (i.e. TV, Monitor, ISP, Modem, & Router) dont waste your money and keep your OG PS5s and PS4s
Mark these words, and be prepare people, scammers will buy all these $700 PS5's to sale 'em at the "modest" price of $1,500 or $2,500.

You are absolutely correct . Price is ridiculous including ps5 pro 30th anniversary’s disappointment
Yea I wanted that for sure. The PS5 Pro 30th edition was the wave. Just hate I couldn’t snag one.
“The price is a definite no for me. Now will I be getting one? Absolutely ” 😂
Bro facts, this was what they wanted PS5.. at beginning. Now $700 needs to be $545 or $600
