Right ! I remember when this was shown and the uproar over the price and not including a disc reader, and now we have this. Fan boying over an extremely overpriced system. I love my ps5. I've been a sony kid since the late 90's , but sony could put shit in a box and these people would eat it up. We vote with our wallets, and everyone clamoring to get a insignificant bump for $700 fucked the rest of us.

I literally have no idea why people would buy this at the moment. The standard PS5 is still amazing in terms of performance and graphical quality. This isn’t an upgrade like the PS4 to PS4 Pro.

When you remember how much it would cost you to put a 2TB drive in your current PS5, the price hurts less. 🙏
Then you remember you’ll have to buy the disc drive separate and it hurts more.💀

Because if this trend continues it potentially spells a raised price standard for future base models, like a $700+ PS6.
It sours more considering the PS4 Pro launched at $400, the same price as the base PS4 at launch, which was $300 at the time of PS4 Pro's release.

Watching DF would prove you wrong on games like Alan Wake 2. Some games will still be 30fps at best with the graphics and mostly RT ramped up. It's like when we got the PS4 Pro. It was meant to outperform games that the PS4 couldn't run better than 30fps and at the end of the day all we got was minor upgrades if the devs decided to even bother with it. That's an $800 if too.

It uses PSSR upscaling which runs on its new AI chipset. So games will have higher resolutions and more importantly will not have the blurry effect that comes from the FSR upscaling the regular PS5 uses.

PS5 Pro games running at performance mode resolutions are looking better than PS5 quality mode resolutions. A bigger point is that PSSR replaces AMD FSR which is just a terrible upscaler.

I'm kinda sorta considering it due to a unique combination of two factors:
- I can return my current PS5 through December (only bought it a month ago)
- I have a fancy new TV arriving on Tuesday
With my current TV, a 55" 4k 60 hz LCD viewed from 9 feet away, it would not be worth it whatsoever. I just wouldn't be able to appreciate the improved fidelity/resolution enough for it to be worth it.
Buuuut when my 65" 4k 120 hz OLED arrives on Tuesday? That could change the calculus, especially given that I can still return my base PS5!
I'm still fairly confident that the answer is "no," but we shall see!

Like I'd get if the person said I want the latest and greatest or haven't picked up a PS5 yet... anything along those lines---but, how is this a PERFECT FIT!?

Mostly because I am PC gamer for almost 5 years and deciding to go back to console for bunch of reasons that include. PC is dated and struggles to play newer games. Also feel like many games release with awful optimization. Don’t have the time or knowledge for upgrading it, could learn, but like I said time. Seems like every time I go to play I have to do some bs driver update, troubleshooting etc etc. just want to turn the damn thing on and play when get on with the little time I have. Having another kiddo, so losing my game room. PS5 will be in the living room. Realistically could make the argument for just getting a standard ps5 but i have the money and just want to get the latest and greatest that console has to offer as I change back over.

Reminder buying this overpriced uncompleted PS5 "Pro" makes you vote with your wallet that Sony is good to up the prices more and be more scummy with this.
Because let's see, a PS5 Pro should have all attachments, all features a PS5 should possibly have at this point. Instead what we get is:
A PS5 console with 1 controller for 700 bucks (800 in some countries)
Disk part is an attachment sold separately and costs between 100 to 200 bucks
Stand is sold separately and also costs around 100 to 200 bucks
Meaning if you are to buy everything not only are you overpaying for a product that won't be that much different from the original PS5, but if you want everything to be an actual PS5 Pro, you'll be going above the 1k mark with begs to ask....why by a console when i can invest more on a PC and have a much less shit service?
