1,020 dollars Canadian after taxes. For a 45% improvement? No disc drive or vertical stand in box. No thanks. Not even the scalpers will touch this one.
Isn't even a 45% improvement. All they did was add AI Frame Gen that can be added via update and a M.2 SSD cost isn't high anymore max 100 USD so straight up unjustifiable
@bigmiki2620 45% faster rendering is substantial on paper, but in reality it probably won't matter. Current games already run fine at 60fps with dynamic reskution, and to run native 4k@60fps or 120fps you need a lot more than that. The differences might be noticeable in a side by side, but if you already own a ps5 it's not worth it
Honestly, the biggest problem I have with the PS5 Pro right now is that I simply don't play my current PS5 enough to justify the purchase. I used to consider myself a heavy user but recently I even let my PS Plus membership slip because I wasn't even turning on my PS5 anymore. In the end, it's the games that sell the hardware and the only good thing going for this new console is that it still has 4 years of possible banger games to peak people's interest before the PS6 makes it irrelevant.
Yeah I'm a unsure if I'm going to get it now. I never bought a PS5 but there are a couple of exclusives I want to play, and since GTA 6 will be console only on release I thought I might as well wait for the PS5 pro. But $700...but I also really want to play GTA6...
Remember when companies openly took a loss on the hardware because it was the software that made the money? Now it's make all the money from the hardware and don't even make the software.
Its digital only - and Sony takes a subscription fee and 30% off all games and MTX sales... and they still selling it for a high profit price, that nuts. Valve sells the Steam Deck at near cost because they know full well they make all their money on Steam sales. (like a top spec Steam Deck is cheaper than the PS5 Pro) XBox sells for low margin/loss (figures not known) cause they have said they make all their money on Gamepass.
PS5 Pro has an even bigger price tag than OG PS3 and the fact it doesn't come with a disc drive for no additional charge makes the regular PS5 seem more appetising.
700USD?? No Disc drive, no stand??! That's 3000MYR in my country! Just to put things to perspective, the minimum wage in my country is 1500MYR. That's a 2 MONTHS salary!! Fuck off Sony!
@@10aDowningStreet console gaming used to be a great choice for casual gamers who just want to play games without forking up too much of their budget. It's sad to see it's no longer the case.
I love a physical copy more than anything, but unfortunately I can see how everything is going to go digital in time. It's becoming more common to get a physical case with a code to download the game.
The main reason I didn't get a PS5 (yet?) is because I can't sit it horizontally and have it sit perfectly flat-nice and easy-like the PS4. I'm not gonna stand it up vertically. The PS5 slim should have been made to sit perfectly horizontal and not need plastic pieces to make it sit correctly. I'm surprised the Pro wasn't re-designed to sit flat.
they should have shown games that really struggle to reach 60 fps like final fantasy 16 but they knew it wont work because the devs are too lazy to optimize their own game so the ps5 pro is unnecessary
I appreciate that you really dove into the explanation before getting deeper into your opinions. A lot of channels seemed to just come out swinging, and didn't give me the room to hear it out before they kinda dumped on it. Haha I don't think I saw the mention of the 2tb SSD in other videos I saw. I will be buying this console, in years from now, used. $700 is much better spent on a PC if you want newer stuff. Controller support is so much better than it used to be, means of streaming your PC to TVs are better than ever. I get more frustrated with how long it takes a console to update than my PC, to be honest. The whole point of consoles was ease of use.
They're discouraging the disc owners by selling the disc drive separately...😵 Sony's really hell bent on making their consumers shift to digital purchase of their games and it's really sad
There is no passion, only profit. And they don’t realize, the growth from last generations came from passion… of the creatives and the players, and the profit followed. By capitalism dictates infinite growth. And with no competition to keep them in check, we get this. And $70 games with $40 season passes, and micro transactions
Its because digital purchases is the way to go. Discs as a storage medium are outdated and dying, just like casettes, carts, floppy as well as CD and DVD rom has gone. SSD is the storage medium now. Gotta move with the times. Remember PC has been fully digital for over a decade now.
1. Way more expensive 2. You feel sad for buying it 3. You're debt is even more crippling 4. Slightly better performance (just get a pc at this point) 5. No disc, no stand, and there are some grooves on the case
realistically, it'd cost more to buy a pc with the same kind of performance and specs the pro would produce. No stand is like punch to the teeth, while no disc drive is a kick to the balls.
“Get a PC at this point” even though the lack of a disc drive is the main complaint as well as price. This is still cheaper than building a PC that runs every game smoothly for the next 10 years.
@@SamuraiDanny Agreed, their argument would only work if you already have a PC and upgrade it with that $700. But even then, consoles and basically hyper efficient pc's, you don't get your money's worth in PC since 2020, I would say it's a toss up and you're getting ripped off either whichever way you go.
You say that when the base ps5 is $600..”in this economy” yes it’s digital but did they say you needed it to play whatever games come out? No. So keep the base 5 and you’re 100% fine, at the end of the day it’s just a upgraded digital version with a new look not the ps6 geez😂

@@FrankHaul people like you who bring political bull into gaming are a d@mn plague, for you to not like Biden you seem to have as many brain cells as him
Not a good pitch when they promised 4k 60fps with the potential of up to 120fps for lower res with the base ps5. This pro is basically what they promised 4 years ago. And with the pro it’s not even native 4k it’s upscaled.
700 system, 80 dollar disk drive, 30 dollar stand, 80 dollars for PS for a year.... you can't literally get a good PC for that price. Sony is just shit.
It's pretty evident by now launch consoles are just prototypes for the pro versions. Having already spent money on a PS5, I'll just wait for the PS6 Pro
@@RomnysGonzalezdon't forget the not included "Sony Approved" power supply and the 24/7 online requirement and active PSN subscription to enable the display outputs 😅
I found that the most ridiculous thing about all this. Insulting even. A $700 console and you couldn't throw in a silly plastic circle?!%$@! I swear that must be an internal joke over at Sony just to see how many suckers will actually pay for the stand
ps5 pro is a stopgap for ps6 while pricing it to test if ps6 could sell for 699 in the future..at this moment ps5 slim remain a compelling 'upgrade' from base ps5
They barely even focus on creating games utilizing the actual PS5 hardware… The pro version is an entire cash grab so the consumer thinks they’re getting better quality out of games being made in the future
Maybe I'm crazy but most ps5 games use the ps5 hardware to the fullest. Everything runs at a stable 60fps and loading screens are practically nonexistent.
@@SuperSteph5 not necessarily… most of the games say PS4/PS5 so how are they made specifically for the PS5 when theres the PS4 port holding it back? Dev companies would have to completely remake the entire game for PS5 in these cases and it would cost them so much more time/effort/money , companies dont want to do that lol
Well honestly marketing wise pro version is the true next generation hardware.. doing upscaling to hit that higher res and 60 fps and graphics.. Ps5 just jigging which one you want to do.. in terms of marketing I feel pro versions are what people originally wanted from the next generation hardware
Not slightly pro is 3x faster than ps5 60fps fidelity mode and maybe 60fps+ performance mode the only thing that stops me from buying it is that it's digital
I didn't think I'd need the PS4 Pro, and then as the generation went on I really regretted getting it because new games were pushing against the ability of the PS4. It may seem silly now, but I'm sure as this generation continues, the PS5 pro will start to really shine. I'm not going to make the mistake of waiting again.
So I never comment on videos but you asked people to comment... and well here I go. I bought a ps4 Pro in 2018, added a 1Tb samsung EVO SSD too. Me & my brother have played side by side for years on his Ps5 while im on my pro. The only reason I have held off on a PS5 is for the PS5 Pro. Cuz for me, the difference between the PS5 and the P4Pro with the upgraded SSD is graphics and load time, nothing different after that and even then the base PS5 is only like 20% faster. I have first hand side by side comparison going. To me, I've waited years for this model to be released and that extra 65% faster or more memory or w/e is worth it. I will also be adding a samsung SSD with heatsink to my P5Pro. Yea its pricey, but it's worth it for me considering I have held out on buying a P5 for years til this launch. That being said, I got the base model for $760 after tax, shipping, etc on playstation direct.
Holy fuck?! 1200$? That’s the equivalent price for you? I thought Sony was a Japan-based company and I always hear about y’all getting disproportionately screwed on prices
@@AyoJayBird yep. Everything's made overseas and import taxes push prices through the roof. We used to have the advantage when I was a kid, but now these things are getting more and more out of reach.
@@mineyamacho I have no idea what the exchange rate is, but we don't have inflation. Wages haven't budged since the late 80s. The price is $1,200 for us. Roughly half the average monthly wage.
Hate to be negative but i hope it flops hard. The absurd price without basic features like a disk drive and a freaking stand sets a bad precedent for the future.
Yeah exactly like whats the point of giving that much money for some background more clear background and main issue is that in some counteries that disc drive s price is so high . Iam sticking up with my og ps5
Those games are not convincing either Most of those games have a pc port So no dice there And many of those games are very very old But I guess bloodborne will still run at 30fps in pro version
There is a phenomenon called inflation. Video games were bound to get a price hike eventually. One new component from a PC is more expensive. I upgraded to a 4080 earlier this year and that was a whopping $1200. $600 USD in 2006 to 2024 is almost $950. The iPhone 4s was like $299 in 2011; the newest iPhones are $900. So I truly don't understand why people are so fussy about it.
I personally have no idea why it's soo expensive in the UK. 700 usd is about 540 pounds. How do you make it 700 pounds based on conversion rates? Like that means that I'm buying a 920 dollar console.... That makes no sense at all.
@@Cody.Tafoya you’re correct there. In UK VAT is included in product prices. Still a tough sell though and we always get the short end of the stick with prices vs conversion rates - even worse since Brexit 😢
Sony prices competitively in the US because they have to compete against XBox who is Number 1... in every other region Sony is Number 1, so they don't care and make you pay more.
The real problem is the slow release cycle for games these days. I don't play on console, so I'm sure there's one or two games I'm not aware of (although I follow gaming pretty close), but more and more time is going by every day between decent game launches. Granted that's subjective...I'm sure there's someone out there who thinks Star Wars Outlaws is the game of the generation and thus counts as a quality release, but imo, even compared to the PS4 era where generational games were coming out on a pretty regular basis, the PS5 seems to be lagging way behind its predecessor.
I wonder if the port for expanding the memory is shaped slightly different so that you have to purchase a special one from Sony and can't just swap out the one you'd use in a regular PS5?
@@majingamer6109 you won't actually, the ps6 might the last ever Playstation due to tech hitting the wall that is quantum mechanics. Maybe the ps7 will come out but it won't be much different.
Personally, I'm gonna wait for reviews first to make sure reviewers don't find any blatant flaws or issues, as well as their own opinions on whether there's a real improvement here when it comes to performance and fidelity. This pricing does feel very scammy since its essentially just a PS5 with slightly improved hardware, and not a PS6. I'm glad other people are calling Sony out for it.
let's be clear: customers are responsible for the price increase. They've shown time and time again that they're ready to spend 1000++ to scalpers to get a PS5. They also shown that they're ready to pay 120$ to play a stupid game 3 days "early" or spend 60+ bucks on an horse skin all of that while spending 1300+ every year on a new version of the same phone and making the 4090 at nearly 2000 bucks the most sought after graphic card in the market being constantly out of stock.. At this point if you're a big company trying to make money, 800€ without a freaking plastic bit to keep the console upright seems like a freaking bargain price.
-The fact there is NO games -No disk drive (Costs 80$ SEPERATE) You can't BUY the games, you only buy a license. -Add microtransactions every month just to be able to play -$700 Sony is literally slowly becoming Apple. A stand for your monitor for one grand? Yeah, Sony is taking notes here.
@@SUB-IN-SUPER I meant what do u mean that when physically buying a game atleast nobody is going to snatch it from your house , unlike in digital companies like ubisoft say u can lose game anytime at their convenience. What does this license mean ?
I was so ready to buy a PS5 but I wanted for the Pro to Drop I saw that $700 price and I said forget that and bought the $700 Metaquest 3 instead. I miss the days of the Early Playstation they really broke the mold of what games and consoles could do and be.
Same lulz. I bet the gaming industry hates us pc lovers and one day will soon try to F us all over too. Oh wait my bad they are already doing that to us. We basically have no physical media anymore in the pc gaming world lol. Despite that lame crap though... For now? Still better than consoles in many many many MOST ways.
Normally a Gameranx video like this would be titled "10 BIGGEST Changes"..... there's not even enough changes to make a top 10 video on it. I don't know what Sony is smoking but I'll have what they're having.
I think what people aren’t factoring in is the old ps5 model you would now have that you can sell. For me I agree 700 dollars isn’t enough to justify the purchase. So my friend is buying my old ps5 for 400 it’s the disc version with controllers and everything included. We worked it out to where he will get it when the pro arrives. I put that money towards my new ps5 pro. Now I’m looking at a 300 dollar ps5 pro upgrade. Much more comfortable price now and I’m happy with the upgrade. Something to consider. Much love everyone happy gaming.
I just ran that through an inflation calculator and $399 in 2016 works out to $523 in 2024 dollars. So, yeah... we're getting squeezed here by Sony. Big time.
@@fourthhorseman4531 I till don't get it, why selling so few by overcharging the consumers while you could selling millions by selling at a more faired price 🤔
I blame Apple for this. As soon as they started selling shit separately that should come in the box and people still bought it. I knew other companies would follow suit
So Sony increases the price by 40% and gives you a little more. Very little. Sony raised the price of PS+ by 30% and offered nothing more in return. So let's all spend $700 on the Pro, spend another $60 for Astro and celebrate Sony's 30th. Yay Sony!
@@a.m.4654 If you buy the vertical stand that they removed from the box and purchased the disc drive that they removed as a built-in option, it is getting close to 100% in USD. Not quite 100%, but it does seem like they tried pretty hard to get there.
@@MrAftermath21 Save the money and just upgrade the SSD inside your PS5...why spend 800 for more memory when you can do the same for a fraction of the cost?
I might consider it for $700 if it had the drive. I don't care that much about the stand. I probably wouldn't have bought it at that price, because I don't think I need the improvement. But I would at least think about it. But without the drive, there's no chance I spend that much.
People should wake up and get a solid PC build for the money, where you can get game keys for less than half the price and free multiplayer. And where you have games.
It should be noted most of the biggest PS exclusives come to PC too at a later date, with better graphics/framerate and superior kb/m. I've been very happy playing Ghost of Tsushima etc on PC! That's in addition to Xbox exclusives, multiplats, and many many times more PC exclusives on Steam etc
I wonder how much better the VR experience is for the new PS5 Pro. Especially considering the fact that so many more people recently purchased PlayStation VR headsets
I love how they showed 4-5 year old games to showcase their new hardware which goot minimal boosts in visual fidelity, meanwhile you can get an used xbox series S for as low as 200€ and still play current gen games at 1080p comfortably this is just insulting
Not trying to defend them, but stating that another console can get the job done at a drasticly lower resolution doesn't make any sense. I don't know what point your statement is trying to make.
As someone who plays on exclusively performance mode on my 4K 55inch OLED, being able to push the graphics while maintaining the performance frame rate is perfect for me - the price tag is just a bit of an oof
Yeah, I couldn't have said it better myself. Like why would you buy this. I mean dude, be for real. If developers aren't maxing out the capabilities of the standard ps5, what makes you think they'll do it, anytime soon, on the same but just a little beefier hardware?
I'm considering buying it, I've been waiting for it since i waited buying the regular ps5, so I'll see how it'll get! the drive missing is pretty stupid and I'll have to buy it since I've already bought a couple of games on disk from the used market that were deals... so yeah, let's see

You don’t HAVE to get the pro, the base and digital are still very relevant
Yeah, and the design looks dumb to me. It's like they asked some first year design students to redesign the look of the PS5 but keep it basically the same and this is the design they went with. Then Sony was like "Hmm. They forgot to add in the disk drive on their redesign concepts. You know what? Screw it. We'll just charge people for a disc drive."

@@williamtaylor3687 I think they’re trying to phase out hard copy games and make it full digital
The main reason I didn't get a PS5 (yet?) is because I can't sit it horizontally and have it sit perfectly flat-nice and easy-like the PS4. I'm not gonna stand it up vertically. The PS5 slim should have been made to sit perfectly horizontal and not need plastic pieces to make it sit correctly. I'm surprised the Pro wasn't re-designed to sit flat.
No disk tray, no vertical stance support, not even a descent showcase of a flag ship game. Is not just about the price but also dignity.
they should have shown games that really struggle to reach 60 fps like final fantasy 16 but they knew it wont work because the devs are too lazy to optimize their own game so the ps5 pro is unnecessary
I would have hoped that they shrunk it as well

Because it's mostly complaining (rightfully so) not just the differences
Not a good pitch when they promised 4k 60fps with the potential of up to 120fps for lower res with the base ps5. This pro is basically what they promised 4 years ago. And with the pro it’s not even native 4k it’s upscaled.

They should just come right out with it and rename the stand to the "Concord Stand"
The Steam deck can run your games for free and at higher resolution and framerates
They barely even focus on creating games utilizing the actual PS5 hardware… The pro version is an entire cash grab so the consumer thinks they’re getting better quality out of games being made in the future
Maybe I'm crazy but most ps5 games use the ps5 hardware to the fullest. Everything runs at a stable 60fps and loading screens are practically nonexistent.
@@SuperSteph5 not necessarily… most of the games say PS4/PS5 so how are they made specifically for the PS5 when theres the PS4 port holding it back? Dev companies would have to completely remake the entire game for PS5 in these cases and it would cost them so much more time/effort/money , companies dont want to do that lol
Well honestly marketing wise pro version is the true next generation hardware.. doing upscaling to hit that higher res and 60 fps and graphics..
Ps5 just jigging which one you want to do.. in terms of marketing I feel pro versions are what people originally wanted from the next generation hardware

I bought a ps4 Pro in 2018, added a 1Tb samsung EVO SSD too. Me & my brother have played side by side for years on his Ps5 while im on my pro. The only reason I have held off on a PS5 is for the PS5 Pro. Cuz for me, the difference between the PS5 and the P4Pro with the upgraded SSD is graphics and load time, nothing different after that and even then the base PS5 is only like 20% faster. I have first hand side by side comparison going.
To me, I've waited years for this model to be released and that extra 65% faster or more memory or w/e is worth it. I will also be adding a samsung SSD with heatsink to my P5Pro. Yea its pricey, but it's worth it for me considering I have held out on buying a P5 for years til this launch. That being said, I got the base model for $760 after tax, shipping, etc on playstation direct.

PS3 was sold at a loss. Be thankful it didn't retail for $849
How much was ps3 at lunch?
There is a phenomenon called inflation. Video games were bound to get a price hike eventually. One new component from a PC is more expensive. I upgraded to a 4080 earlier this year and that was a whopping $1200. $600 USD in 2006 to 2024 is almost $950. The iPhone 4s was like $299 in 2011; the newest iPhones are $900. So I truly don't understand why people are so fussy about it.
Talking inflation it was 600 then now it would be $930@@mitsuhh
that price without a disc drive is GD crazy
What I really want to know is have they addressed their overheating issues in the new pro console.
I personally have no idea why it's soo expensive in the UK. 700 usd is about 540 pounds. How do you make it 700 pounds based on conversion rates? Like that means that I'm buying a 920 dollar console.... That makes no sense at all.
EU too, with Disk and Stand you looking at 950 Euros. So there's that. The console is pro, the price not so more like a con

Differences aren't just how things look, games will render significantly faster and more MMOs that's huge.
The irony of using "BIGGEST CHANGES" for a video of one of the smallest mid-generation upgrades ever
The real problem is the slow release cycle for games these days. I don't play on console, so I'm sure there's one or two games I'm not aware of (although I follow gaming pretty close), but more and more time is going by every day between decent game launches. Granted that's subjective...I'm sure there's someone out there who thinks Star Wars Outlaws is the game of the generation and thus counts as a quality release, but imo, even compared to the PS4 era where generational games were coming out on a pretty regular basis, the PS5 seems to be lagging way behind its predecessor.
Law of diminishing return. Each "generation" will have a smaller and smaller tech jump.

Biggest change: the price
Personally, I'm gonna wait for reviews first to make sure reviewers don't find any blatant flaws or issues, as well as their own opinions on whether there's a real improvement here when it comes to performance and fidelity. This pricing does feel very scammy since its essentially just a PS5 with slightly improved hardware, and not a PS6. I'm glad other people are calling Sony out for it.
let's be clear: customers are responsible for the price increase.
They've shown time and time again that they're ready to spend 1000++ to scalpers to get a PS5. They also shown that they're ready to pay 120$ to play a stupid game 3 days "early" or spend 60+ bucks on an horse skin all of that while spending 1300+ every year on a new version of the same phone and making the 4090 at nearly 2000 bucks the most sought after graphic card in the market being constantly out of stock..
At this point if you're a big company trying to make money, 800€ without a freaking plastic bit to keep the console upright seems like a freaking bargain price.
Most of the comments here isn't listen to you. But yeah scalpers selling the console for 800$ is the number 1 reason why this console cost this much.

It should be noted most of the biggest PS exclusives come to PC too at a later date, with better graphics/framerate and superior kb/m. I've been very happy playing Ghost of Tsushima etc on PC! That's in addition to Xbox exclusives, multiplats, and many many times more PC exclusives on Steam etc
@@H4GRlDYou have never build at least a mid range PC right? Compare to PC built the PS is cheap af… Don’t spread nonsense.
@@H4GRlDI think RUclips is just saving you because they know you are wrong.
When I heard the price point I said it can go eff itself. Took me 3 yrs to get a ps5 and it still working just fine.
I wonder how much better the VR experience is for the new PS5 Pro. Especially considering the fact that so many more people recently purchased PlayStation VR headsets
System, stand, disc drive, and taxes would cost me $882 in my state. Sony can kick rocks.
I love how they showed 4-5 year old games to showcase their new hardware which goot minimal boosts in visual fidelity, meanwhile you can get an used xbox series S for as low as 200€ and still play current gen games at 1080p comfortably
this is just insulting
Not trying to defend them, but stating that another console can get the job done at a drasticly lower resolution doesn't make any sense. I don't know what point your statement is trying to make.
This would've been the perfect time to announce a remastered Bloodborne and say it takes advantage of the new features.
As someone who plays on exclusively performance mode on my 4K 55inch OLED, being able to push the graphics while maintaining the performance frame rate is perfect for me - the price tag is just a bit of an oof
Wake the hell up samurai, the corpos gonna suck the money out of ur pockets
just started the game. im loveing every money
😂😂😂😂😂
You'd think with the deluge of developer layoffs and studios being shut down, that prices might be more reasonable.
@@greenbow7888 no it is because of that, they don't think there is enough in the gaming market to justify selling at a loss.
Diminishing Returns at its finest. Is the slogan that will define this generation of consumers.
Best way to describe it
Yeah, I couldn't have said it better myself. Like why would you buy this. I mean dude, be for real. If developers aren't maxing out the capabilities of the standard ps5, what makes you think they'll do it, anytime soon, on the same but just a little beefier hardware?
Because there is a literal wall called quantum mechanics. Expect CPU to never improve after 2027. There will be literally no more gain to be found.
Not worth it. Especially with No Disk Drive. Waste of money.
I'm considering buying it, I've been waiting for it since i waited buying the regular ps5, so I'll see how it'll get! the drive missing is pretty stupid and I'll have to buy it since I've already bought a couple of games on disk from the used market that were deals... so yeah, let's see
also we have to add that the fact that people bought ps5s at scalper prices really helped the company to raise the price, same happened with gpus!
700$ for a console with no vertical stand and it gets even worse... digital version... Sony's big effort was putting three lines
As a commie shitbag once said.. "You will own nothing and you will like it" Buy the digital, "own" it for a few years, next model comes out and now you can't run that game.
@@Tomekkplk Commie? 😂 The man Klaus Schwab who said it was a capitalist echoing the capitalist ethos. You are utterly insane if you think A SOCIETY WHERE PRIVATE COMPANIES OWN ALL PROPERTY is somehow communism.
They literally sacrificed a disc drive for the spec upgrades otherwise base price would’ve been at least $200 more and you’d still complain😂 they don’t grow tech parts on a farm, the base console was 600, the digital was 500, the pro versions of these have always been at least $100 more, yall are crying over literally nothing. You don’t HAVE to get the pro, the base and digital are still very relevant
@warfare__-oc4vr I hear it has to be bought separately.
Yeah, and the design looks dumb to me. It's like they asked some first year design students to redesign the look of the PS5 but keep it basically the same and this is the design they went with. Then Sony was like "Hmm. They forgot to add in the disk drive on their redesign concepts. You know what? Screw it. We'll just charge people for a disc drive."
Is it me or do I see no major difference between the graphics 😩😭… it’s a little faster sooooo.. I wanted the better graphics lol
I don't know about other differences but I can cleary see a big difference in my wallet.
I’m just gonna get a PC at this point 😅😂
Imagine still not having a PC 😂
Do it, you won't regret it! Just make sure you do a lot of research first
700 dollar PC is unfortunately a very low budget one 😕
@@sammorossi not if you buy used :)
@@KainsAddictioni have one still use my ps5 more the hackers on pc really ruin the competitive and sometimes regular experience
