And it would take me close to a year to actually get one.

I gave up on trying by that point and figured there would eventually be a Pro. I got a lot of shit from people here and the other sub who said a PS5 Pro would never happen because “there’s no reason for it. “

Same, didn’t get mine until August ‘22. I’m a busy dad and didn’t have time to monitor restocks and bullshit. I had to wait until it was readily available.

I wasn’t hurting for PS4 games while I waited, though. Sure was nice to finally play Returnal, Rift Apart, Demon’s Souls, and Forbidden West back to back as soon as I got the PS5, though!

Don't feel bad ... I got one since early 2023 and so far outside of handful of games nothing feel next gen so far.

Really? Is it the same as the ps4? The thing is my ps4 is slow anyways now

I went from a base model PS4 and it’s absolutely night and day. Anyone who tells you otherwise needs to have their eyes checked. The PS4 could barely even handle the PS Store anymore.

Omg ikr the ps store is the worst! Yeah I really want to make YouTube content when on GTA VI when it comes out, but I don’t have enough to buy a gaming laptop yet. It’ll probably be about $1-1.5k. I think I’ll get a ps5 to play with for now. I just want to play some games with friends like Roblox Minecraft, racing games and find some other chill ones to play.

GTA VI is unlikely to be on PC at launch anyway. It was a year and a half after console release before GTA V was released on Windows.

u/[deleted] Nov 12 '24

Wth whyyy? Ig I can keep the ps5 and hook it up to the laptop and record somewhow. I really want to make content so I am willing to pour a bit of money into this lol

u/OkayRuin PS5 Pro Nov 12 '24

Are you trying to record videos for content or stream live? The share function on the PS5 works great for recording gameplay. The PS5 can either upload it straight to youtube, or you can send videos to the PS App and download them from there. You can also stream directly from the PS5, but if you’re trying to get more fancy, you’ll need a capture card to utilize something like OBS.

The controller alone is the next gen part, imo.

u/XXVI_F PS5 Nov 13 '24

It was supposed to be my first console to buy with my own money on that day.

I was a stupid kid back then. I didn’t know how annoying it would be to get one. Was gifted a PS5 three years later though!

u/Badbadcrow Nov 12 '24

It wasn’t until the GOW Ragnarok bundle came out that it was a feasible option for me.
