PS5 PRO Price and SO MANY OTHER PROBLEMS!
The Price of the PS5 PRO has us ALL reeling and that's just the start! SO, what about the many other problems!
How much is it actually going to cost the physical console player to buy into THIS and is it even possible to get your hands on a PlayStation 5 disc drive to play your library of existing games?
These are questions we all have and we're going to try to answer them today!
With the cost of inflation affecting the price of everything, did Sony fall out of touch with their average consumer or is it simply corporate greed?
Let us know what you think!

    It’s really bad that the disc drive is not built-in. These drives requires activation over the internet so that it can be locked to that ps5. When the server inevitably shuts down in the future, these ps5 pros that does not already have a drive attached will be useless. If the drives breaks down, it will also be useless. Then you can’t even play your games digitally (because the servers are gone) but you also can’t play your physical copies

    Hey I am really happy RNG gamer is on tomorrow. I follow his streams, He's a very skilled player him. Like I said in point no 4, I don't like the fact that video games aren't inclusive. I feel you need to be a certain level to play video games. It's not like movies or tv shows where you tell somebody watch this & then it's very little thinking for them to watch a tv show in their said language or whatever. I feel in video games if you never played them before or you are at this lower skill level or whatever, I can't just give them a controller & say ok here is so & so game just play it. Like 1st you need to be educated on whatever controller you are using, then you need a skill on just the controller to memorize where the buttons are. That requires reading from a manual or the menu. Then like you have to know how to control a said character where to go, what to do, study a level whatever & a lot goes into it where I feel like it's a lot of work for people to do.

      Gaming is definitely not as easy to get into as it used to be. That's why I only started gaming within the last 5 years because I was so confused by modern controls so I completely understand anybody getting into gaming fresh is going to be completely frustrated. However, I think there's some great modern platformers that still use more of a retro control scheme, but they're not as mainstream so the harder to find and not as plentiful. And Jamie is awesome! We're so excited to have him on GtKG. We were fortunate enough to get to meet him last year at SEGE. He's a great guy and someone we've been eager to have on the channel because he's such a positive influence in the gaming community AND he plays his games!

    I would like to get the PS5 pro, but I am a little disappointed that we didn’t get the Pro back in 2020. From the sound of it, the PS5 Pro is what was promised to us with the PS5… 4K 60 fps. Now we have to buy a new machine to get that. It’s kind of dumb not to mention expensive.

They have a different demographic and offer a different experience. With them not being able to push game sales as far as they want now because they're not making anything proprietary for the PS5, they are absolutely going to start profiting off the console. You're not wrong. PC gaming looks better and better!

    I am done with Sony. I am hyped for those Switch 2 leak details. More Ram/power and a big jump in storage for Nintendo, especially if you buy physical. No gimmicks and hopefully they have corrected the controller issue. Backwards compatibility and still doing physical games. If Sony could have put out a console with a built in disc drive or added one THAT DID NOT NEED TO BE UPDATED OR REGISTERED to even use, that would make a difference. They should have had MORE STORAGE OUT OF THE GATE THAN THE PS4 pro before it. With their new model of forcing downloads and not playing off the disc, YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE MORE STORAGE. Finally, I despise that new model. I have 3 shelves worth of Switch games that only fill up half my 256gig sd card. I have close 1 shelf of PS4 games and it has completely filled the 1 gig ps4 pro. The loss of focus on physical with storage, disc drive, and the way the games themselves are handled now has put an end to my Playstation buying days. I still have my PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 Pro and will continue to enjoy them and collect for the first 3 but I am all Nintendo now because they are the only company that has continued with the Business model that I have supported for the last 39 years.

      Thanks so much for the comment. Appreciate that you love the setup. Awesome that you have so many different consoles. It's hard here to find as much variety so we have what we know we will play and that we can get our hands on as far as games go. How awesome is that that you can repair your own consoles. Scott does that for the most part unless it's really outside of his depths but most times he can get a console up and running again. The art is probably our favorite part of the game room because it's personalized to us and I guess all the personal touches we put in the game room with just the stuff we made shelves, the bar area signs the power wall and of course the huge optimist prime :)

    I have my PlayStation PS4 PRO hooked up to my 24inch tv built in 1998 via hdmi to rca connector. I only have a gmail account and a PlayStation account other than that i operate with 1990's tech. Landline phone no cell phone the only social media is use is TH-cam. My PS4 is connected to my VCR so i can record my playlists to watch offline. I don't use Spotify because i have alot music and all other types of free content i tape to cassette to listen to while driving around in my car.

    The pro is not needed, so soon. We just got the slim, and the ps5 from 2020 promised what the pro is, and we did not get it. The ps5 is great, like it is. I have a switch, and Xbox one S, and my ps3 on the same tv. This reminds me of the ps3, at launch, was expensive, and had no big games. I got the slim, and started playing ratchet, uncharted, sly cooper collection, and more, still play them. A pro is just a word on the box, to make you spend money. Games are games, good or bad, I play the ones I like, from disc

    With the announcement of the remastering of Horizon's Zero Dawn, Sony's providing you the opportunity to buy a remastered game for their remastered console. This has become their new meta since the lack of first party exclusive that were marketed to entice gamers to upgrade to the newer system. Sony's creative talents seem to have dried up, Concord cost them millions, so I'm guessing the higher cost of the PS5 Pro will be used to offset their loss and the PS5 ponies are looked to to recoup some of their lost revenue. There are a bunch of fanboys singing the praises of this new console. One person even made the bold claim that the console would be more powerful than the Nvidia 4090, a $700 console beating a $1600 GPU? As an AMD fanboy, their tech trails behind Nvidia when it comes to ray tracing and DLSS, so I don't know where this guy got his information about the chip powering the Pro will be more powerful than a 4090 while costing less. My scouter is telling me his delusion level is over 9000.

It's cool if you're someone that wants to get it because you can afford it and decide it's for you but trying to convince everybody else that they are wrong is insanity. I'm okay with what anybody decides they want to do as far as the PS5 pro because at the end of the day it's not my wallet. It's not my decision. Don't go and spread misinformation though based on trying to suckle at the Sony teet. It's deplorable!

    I own a PS4 Pro and I love it. I was looking forward to buying the PS5 Pro I knew they were coming out with one eventually... and they made this announcement I was like nope not doing it not buying it nope .I'll just stick with my PS4 Pro. And now I'm not going to even buy a PS5 I mean they didn't put in the drive because they're not going to sell a PS5 Pro with a driver built in because they're going digital All Digital. I'm a collector I have tons of games PS2 games PS1 games and my PS4 games. I didn't game back when PS3 was out... and I have a very nice collection I do own some digital games on my PS4 Pro and it's because they're only available in digital format.

      @@eddiewitter1264 yeah, Sony is definitely off the rocker with this decision. The idea of completely eliminating the disk drive and making it separate is not a good sign. I like that they're still making it an option but you can't even get them because they're all sold out. I think the only thing that would have saved this pro launch would have been complete backwards compatibility. Otherwise, yes, you're absolutely right most of us have a backlog of physical games that it might just make sense to wait until the ps6 or why get one at all for that matter.

Vowed to never buy a Sony product again. 20+ year later still not bought a Sony thing. Why do you support this scummy anti consumer company. The games they have are pretty hand holding crap. I’ve tried spiderman, gave it back to get refunded. Deleted horizon from my library. Get Xbox or pc. Pc better option. You not stuck at Sony stupid prices. Sony is on sale on steam at min.
