- The PS5 Pro Reviews are in and a lot of people are left feeling a bit mixed on the unit so far. Let's go over some of the performance improvements and details that reviewers are finding with the unit. The PS5 Pro console is priced at $700 without a disc drive and that has left a big price to cover for many users. The PlayStation 5 Pro reviews all call it out, but are there good things to find too? Let's dive in.

Personally, no I do not think it’s worth that much. The upgrade isn’t big enough.
No
I was all in to get one because I waited to get a PS5 for the PS5 pro announcement. The reason I didn't purchase one was, no disk drive included. I was ok with the 700.00 price point, but I was not ok with the 780.00 price with the disk drive. And for this price, they should have included the stand.
Yes...
No. I think it *MIGHT* have been worth it if Sony bothered to support the PS VR2 like they should - because any increase in performance for VR is much appreciated. Unfortunately, Sony has all but abandoned the PS VR2 after launch - leaving many adopters like me seriously annoyed at their seeming lack of interest.
Whoever named the AI upscaling PISSER is a madlad
It’s made in Japan. They’re freaky like that.
Right? It's FSR with extra steps. Which is OK, because it handles something things better than the current FSR implementation, but what's the bet that FSR 3.5 or 4.0 looks as good, or better, than PSSR?
PlayStation Super Sony Republic
And you’ll never forget it!
John from Digital Foundry is the person attributed for being the first influencer to coin pronouncing it that way in a public PS5 Pro reveal video. Though it's really juvenile, and I'm sure we all thought that same thing when we saw the acronym.
“A little bit” ain’t worth the upgrade. Even for enthusiasts. Let’s quit sugar coating the issue here.
You are buying exclusivity when you pick up this machine. Those who buy, do so, because people like you can’t. Understand the game of life you are playing.
@@ShinzoX90Be quiet bot
To each there own. I am an enthusiast and have the disposable income. Picking mine up after work :).
@@ShinzoX90 Agreed
IGN gave it a 7/10 that’s how you know it’s crap product
For me the upscaling and boost graphics doesn't matter if I can't get a locked 60fps. And I have no desire to play old PlayStation games with slightly better graphics.
I think they didn't listen to customer when they complained about the PS4 pro and did the exact same thing. CPU&GPU work hand and hand to give you a good experience. If one is stronger than the other it just creates bottlenecks.
Lastly, we don't even need a mid gen refresh. Stop giving lazy developers a pass (not Sony devs they do the most). The only reason why games like FF7 and dragons dogma run like ass is cause developers don't optimize anymore. They try to make out the graphics then rely on frame gen, and upscaling instead of finishing the game. You shouldn't have to buy a new console or video card just to run a current game.
Devs used to come up with new techniques like texture baking to get better visuals while keeping good performance (gears of war). They don't give two shit now. Turn graphics to 11, ship with bugs and poor performance, complain about consoles or blame PC gamers rigs. Rise and repeat.
Most games run at 60fps, these days. You just have to choose performance mode with lower settings.
@@Zzshock77 No they don't must devs say its running at 60 fps. In reality the frame rate is all over the place. They do not optimize games anymore. Devs laying off their QA departments is proof of this.
And everyone is pretty much saying the same thing, not worth the price.
It never was worth the price lol, I'm glad I don't need the thing, I'm fine with my base PS5
No. Poor people are saying that, to convince themselves they won’t be having an inferior experience while gaming.
@@ShinzoX90Well such is life for some people
@@ShinzoX90 dude I could buy a pro today, doesn’t make it anymore worth the money. There’s a difference between being dumb with money and being smart. If I don’t find it worth the price I won’t buy it. You saying that just means you’re dumb with money.
Creating your own reality. Nobody's saying that!
This may be the first time (in my experience) I’ve heard reviewers/gaming media mention the CMOS battery in any console review, or when talking a bout any console in general.. lol
This console makes sense for some people, but it’s far from the necessary mid-gen upgrade the PS4 Pro was. This isn’t a jump to 4K. 60fps at this point feels like it should have been standard for awhile so that not exactly an exciting bullet point for $700.
This console only really makes sense for content creators, tech enthusiasts, and people who plan on keeping a PS5 around well after the PS6 has launched (collectors who like keeping older platforms).
If $700 is a lot of money to you, you most likely don’t have the $1500 high end oled monitor required to see a difference. To be honest, if $700 is a lot of money, you shouldn’t be gaming, you should improving yourself.
@@ShinzoX90You need to spend $1500 to see a difference?
Anyway, why do people assume people can't afford it when they give a negative opinion of the Pro's price?
@ShinzoX90A high end OLED monitor isn't 1500 bucks. Sounds like you got scammed on your monitor and on the PS5 Pro.
Samsung released their 3rd gen QD OLED monitors this year and none of them are over 1000 bucks.
@@ShinzoX90 my gaming Rig is £1500, pisses on the Pro, but it’s all relative, the benefit of consoles is price to performance. The day a console costs the same as the equivalent PC counter is the death of Consoles.
Please don’t tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t be able to afford. The value offered here is terrible. If you’re happy wasting your money on utter shit, then that’s on you, but others including myself who doesn’t even own a console, would rather prices make sense as to not exclude anyone from enjoying an amazing hobby such as gaming. You can bet your ass if this console sells well it’ll become the norm.
Vote with your wallets people, do not buy this blatant cash grab.
@@BUPMY1 they don’t assume that, they’re trying to shame people because they’re justifying being taken advantage of from PlayStation
I can’t believe ign gave something a 7/10 shocker of all shockers
Not including the disk drive is Criminal
Biggest waste of money they could at least give it a disk drive for Christ's sake
They dont give even that stand with it. Sony is greedy af
It’s designed for people like you to not afford it. The people buying it, are doing so because it’s expensive and you can’t afford it.
@ShinzoX90 how empty is some people's lives and minds, "buying something just to brag about it to those who dont want to throw money away like a dirt"
@@susanna8612 I think it's a bot.
@@ShinzoX90How do you know they can't afford it? Did you ask?
PS4 Pro was actually an improvement over the base model and was affordable af.
This right here.
@@NeverB_Gameover ps5 pro is a bigger upgrade. PS4 pro used inferior tech checkerboard 4k upscaling 1100p like what are we talking about ?
If I had known my PS5 was going to be the PS4 Pro Plus I wouldn't have bothered buying it, I'm done with Sony.
I'd say they are about the same... the PS4 Pro had some graphical upgrades at a small increase in price. The PS5 Pro has slightly more benefits over the base model but also costs a lot more. Neither one is mind blowing.
@ the thing with the PS4 pro was that it was actually the original launch price of the PS4 so those who were late like me got really treated and paid what we always expected to pay to begin with.
Death stranding dropping on Xbox today stealth drop style was a weird one as well
Wait, what?

@@maizeman90 I didn’t tag you correctly
@@icecoldcabbage4329 thanks. Pretty interesting to see it on Xbox now
IGN 7/10 for PS5 Pro? 😂😂 Dustborn and Concord also received 7/10 🤔
play-it-safe 7 :P
Another 7 lol.
im only subscribed to IGN to see what they rate next a 7/10 never take IGN seriously
Dam you still playing at 30fps
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That $700 price tag is insane. As an Xbox guy (who bought the XB1X when it released) if Xbox was releasing a mid gen console priced at $700 I wouldn't buy it, and even if I was willing to spend that much I'd be heavily leaning towards just building a PC.
What about the $600 series X
@AinzBainz I bought the Series X at launch for $500. That's also why I bought the XB1X, priced at $500. Once you get in the $700 range, you're talking a price tag of a decent PC. Sure it wouldn't be a beast, but it'd probably run better than a mid gen console.
$500 but nice try @@AinzBainz
@Ultecpo oh poor fella...you haven't seen the $600 series X huh..a quick search would do you well
@@Ultecpo Dude thought he had a gotcha moment lol.
Funny how the so-called improvements are a little here and a little there. Though the price increase is a lot. LOL....
wrong massive improvments
You are buying exclusivity when you pick up this machine. Those who buy, do so, because people like you can’t. Understand the game of life you are playing.
@@ShinzoX90 The hell are you talking about? You are a damn sucker buying that PS5 Pro model. The difference is so minor that it doesn't justify a $200 plus dollar price difference. Think before making a statement brotha!
@@ShinzoX90Except when Sony ports games to PC they still look and run better than PS5 Pro, which uses PSSR upscaling for 800 bucks
@@acurisur those of buying ps5 pro have a better pc then you as well. Stay mad. Breaks over bub, time to get back to being told what to do.
Tbh my series x is still the king 👑
For you 😂😂😂😂
@ &700 no disc drive for what 🤷♂️🤷♂️ basically you are paying for a console what is at least 6 years behind a pc with no disc drive 😂😂
@@roblangton349 I’m not paying for nothing I’m good with the base
Same for me. I don’t touch my ps5 or switch as much.
If you are gaming on a 1080p LCD the $700 would be better spent on a 1440p OLED. The pixel response time of an OLED will make any frame-rate look 50% faster. Also we know there is no beating the black contrast of an OLED. Also the 1440p OLED's are 240Hz, so that is future proofing.
I own a 1440p 240Hz Monitor Oled and let me tell ya, Stellar Blade looks so damn good and runs crazy smooth (up to 80+fps). Not because I own the 5pro, but geez.. it does make a difference.
Burn in burned me bad on my 2nd gen LG. I know tech has come a long way since, but there’s always a chance with OLED
@@DirtyBeemer1 the thing about burn-in, no one has reported it, yet.
I agree. Getting an OLED was the biggest upgrade in my enjoyment of gaming. Perfect blacks, incredible contrast and color, virtually no input lag.
@@ChicagoBulls1984 the most impressive report is because of OLED's superior pixel response time it makes any frame-rate look 50% faster. This claim is repeated frequently. The most recent one is on Monitors Unboxed on 2024 monitors. In particular the slide that shows a 240Hz OLED will look like a 360Hz LCD. I don't yet have an OLED. I'm waiting for 2025 when 27" 4K's is said to release.
Mid gen refreshes are always a waste of money. The problem is they need to play that generation of games as if it's an original i.e. that same CPU.
Going to buy it right now. If it's good, I was wrong, and I'll sell my soul to Sony. Before even having it, I can almost guarantee this is not worth 750 bucks 😂. Black friday, ps5 slim digital is gonna be the one to watch for. No new games? No fps boost? No true 4k its upscaled. No new cpu? No pro controller? No disc drive? No free months of ps plus? Larger, louder console? But you get to play old games with better graphics 😂and u cant tell that much!!
Shyt, if u got the money to burn why not and see for yourself. If you actually do buy it, plz come back and let us know what you think about it.
@megilacuttyjones735 i will buy it and ill make a video so you can see i bought it. Give me until the end of the day . I hope its good. But today xbox just got death stranding. 😂 its a sign of whats to come
Just got home with mine from the store, well see
Its not larger to the original ps5 i can confirm. It's lighter too.
Why spend that much money for something ur pretty sure will not be worth that much?
Even as a console enthusiast, at some point one has to wake up and think, "nah, I'm not getting that for the VERY minor updates and not worth the price tag."
Let's be realistic here. It's overpriced for what it is.
You aren’t buying a minor update, you are buying what other people can’t. The upgrade is simply the icing.
@ShinzoX90 Dang it. What was I thinking. You're right. Buy it and laugh at all the peasants that can't buy it.
It's the Concord tax.
@@ShinzoX90Not much icing.😂😂😂
Power consumption is not lower it's higher
The performance boost is not enough to justify the upgrade. If you don't have a PS5 yet, then I could see buying it. Better off going PC at this point and waiting for the PS6.
Just build a gaming PC. Sony literally did the work for us when deciding whether to stay with console gaming rather than PC.
I rather get better oled tv than getting PS5 pro.
I'll just keep playing games on my PC Gaming Rig with an RTX 4090... Sony will continue to release their first party games on PC. They might not launch right away on PC but they will come eventually. I'm done with consoles.
Hey the ponys are saying it has a 4090 equivalent in it ... been laughing at the comments all day
Just got a 4070 super. I’ll pass on the pro.
ScamStation Pro 5
That it's overpriced and overhyped and you fell for it Destin! 😅
This is slap in face to ps5 owners
The PS4 pro puts the PS5 pro to shame. At least the PS4 pro had a role to fill, it introduced 4K gaming (well usually through some checkerboarding) at a time when 4K TV adoption was on the rise. The PS4 pro also launched at the original price of the vanilla hardware and had a disc drive. The comparisons I’ve seen over the last few days between the PS5 pro and the vanilla are laughable and hardly worth $700. The PS5 pro is an insult and a clear sign of Sony’s current foolish hubris.
30% more performance when not CPU bound, which will be often as it's running the same CPU as the base model, for 80% more money compared to the PS5 digital is absolutely abysmal. you're paying £300 for an upscaler essentially, if you buy this then you're sending a very dangerous message to Sony.
I personally hope it flops as hard as concord did and they realise that gaming at the moment with it's struggles doesn't need PC like pricing for half assed hardware.
What pc are you buying and doing upscaling with for 700 dollars? This is coming from a PC guy for a long time. Maybe 1400-1700 dollar PC maybe. And I’m not talking some bootleg gtx card for 1080p. I’m not saying the price of the ps5 is right, for 700 it should have came with the stand and ps5 pro controller. I am glad they offer a disc drive separately to be honest as I and 80 percent of gamers do not buy physical media anymore.
Bang for buck 700 is still good compared to PC. My PC yes on the expensive side with a 4090 build runs like a dream and so will my 5090 as I intended to dabble into 8k gaming with my QN900D. I think a good comparable PC will be around 1400 with everything needed for a good strong build. GPU alone is gonna cost you 500 alone. I will say that if Sony ever starts getting there exclusives to PC within a year I will no longer have a PlayStation just as i no longer need or have an XSX. So yes I got one because i got 350 for my 4 year old ps5. Og so I got more than half of what I paid and used it for trade in. No different than people yearly upgrading their 1000-1200 Samsung or apply device yearly.
It won't be cpu bound very often because of the thousands of PS5 games currently available only a handful of them are currently cpu bound to any great extent
@@kaiichinose9590 You can build a 3600 + a 6800 for £712, that's me just picking popular components and not nit picking price. That's an exact match for the PS5 pro, in fact the GPU will most likely be better because it seems Sony oversold the GPU, it's 30 - 35% more powerful, not the 45% advertised.
If you spent £1400 on a PC you do not have a 4090, seen as though they're going for about £1700 - £1800 by themselves, that on top of the cooling needed for the parts in order to not be bottlenecked you're talking more closer to £2500 - £3000 for a none compromised 4090 build.
This isn't just for you, but all humanity, I wish people would stop talking about things they have absolutely no idea about.
@@MikeDelta32 No there's plenty of games where it's CPU bottlenecked mate, it's running a 5 year old low end chip.
This is honestly looking like a Xbox One X level upgrade, it's impressive.
Only thing holding it back is that price.
Yep
Channel logo is cool dude
Everyone saying it has the same gpu as a 4090 are cracking me up .. last I saw it was close to a rx6800
Why can’t Sony make this damn Pro console worth it?
No matter how you cut it destin. if you are buying a ps5 pro, it is not a wise purchase.
Nah, it's for the enthusiast. If someone has the money and they want a few extra smoother edges have at it. Even better if you don't already own a PS5... But for 95% of people I agree that the PS5 is the MUCH MUCH better value purchase.
@@nickstark8479This is how I also feel. I personally don't have the money to burn...if I did id actually get a nice gaming PC for the first time ..couple with gp ultimate. Right now I have a sx, ps5 and switch. I still have my one x and one s...lol ... anyways point is I have enough to play on so it's not justified for me to get a PS5 pro...it looks like its just too little for too much. ....just like Digital Foundry said
@@nickstark8479 You mean it for the SUCKERS brotha.
I don’t think he’s paying for it. It’s a “work” console for his job at IGN
How would purchasing any gaming console be "wise" lol
Just played cod bo6 on the pro and I think I’m returning it
It’s worse experience having a ton of artifacting on textures in back ground when your slidding around at full tilt I’m extremely disappointed
I don’t care at all
About how it does on third person story games so I think this isn’t for me
Tempted with ps5 pro. But factor is will ps6 come in 2026, 2027 or 2028. It may be cheaper to if competing with the new xbox then.
To spend 700. Then the ps6 comes out in 2026 will be annoying, especially if cheaper to. Feel gta6 will be delayed until the next gen consoles.
Exactly.
If u can save for a ps5 pro, u might as well save a little bit more for a pc
We have a pc too. You want it and can’t afford it, that’s why we buy it lol
@@ShinzoX90
What does that mean?
@@Shady-Frank what’s being bought is exclusivity. Broke people are priced out for a reason. If everyone could afford it, the people buying it wouldn’t want it.
@ShinzoX90 that's the most idiotic thing possible, I refuse to *believe most believe that. I think it has a target audience that wants top of the line while also afraid of tech. However, just a little tech knowledge can devalue the whole idea of the pro.
The Pro consoles typically aren't going to bring new people in. They sell primarily to those already in the eco system.
Remind ofthe appeal of the Pro again if you already have the vanilla version?
@@BUPMY1 Same as it was last generation. If slightly prettier graphics and higher framerates are important to you and you can't wait until the next generation releases then the Pro is for you. If you are happy with what you already have, then it likely isn't, which will be the case for most.
I bought a PS4 Pro this year as it does feel like an actual improvement to the Base PS4 and it makes better use of an SSD, but the PS5 Pro? Pass. I'll stick with my Base OG PS5 DD with black plates and 2TB SSD.
The fact some youtubers were saying its more like a next gen rather than a mid gen😂... the absolute delusion. That's why their career is based around games and not science or philosophy lol.
Which TH-camrs said that?
The difference between the PS5 and Pro is nowhere near the difference between PS4 and PS5. Just a cleaner image this time.
I pre-ordered it because I would need to spend way more on my PC to feel like it's worth it.
I tried the MH Wilds Beta and idk if it's my tv, but I had it on the lowest settings and it didn't run well in full screen. Also, it's going to be meaningful with PS5 exclusives like Stellar Blade and Rise of The Ronin.
You just said something everyone that suggests a PC instead ignores.
Consoles curate to tvs. You don't have to worry about running Windows or driver updates, controller problems, switching your sound devices, learning your graphics card control panel.
It's a lot better than it used to be but it's still a hassle.
I have both, 4080 beast pc and still end up on ps5 mostly.
Of course I played cyberpunk on PC and I'm waiting for Alan Wake 2 to hit Steam.
But I love the hell out of most PS exclusives. GTA 6 coming up. Psvr2.
Kids just love hate trends,that's all this is.
I found that the quality mode to performance mode varies from game to game. Often the difference is negligible. For the ones that do show a big difference I guess it would be nice to have 60FPS or 120 with quality on. The amount of games that will implement the technology is also something to consider here.
Console players : we should get 60fps standard all games
Also console player: ok ok maybe not for $700
Blame the developers. The base models PS5 and XSX are plenty powerful and most games run at 60 fps.
They made the same mistake that they did with the PS4 pro, they boosted the GPU without touching the CPU. Not worth the upgrade.
We've hit the point of diminishing returns for hardware. The PS6/XS2 is the last generation of hardware. If prices don't go down, PS5+XS will be the last "big jump" generation.
I brought mine home today. And loving it. Waiting for black ops 6 patch whole library downloading while sleeping. Gaming all weekend
They figured out a way? Yeah, they moved to 6nm. A die shrink can usually allow for more faster speed and/or less power/heat. Plus, if the node is mature enough for good yields, you can get more useable chips per wafer.
Great review Destin , straight to the point !! Thank you!
Verge giving it an 8/18 out of a 10 scale is wild (typo on Destin, I know, but still, lol)…
The ps5 pro basically allows for upscaling from 1440p to 4k, instead of from 720p lol.
Super excited mine will be here later today! 😎
If you have a ps5 dont get excited...its the same thing...im still trying to convince myself its better but its definitely not...its actually less that a ps5 bc no disc drive
If the pro is $700 the ps6 definitely going to be over $1000 when it release
Yikes
Either that or there simply won't be much of a jump between PS5 pro and PS6
Anywhere near that price is a no buy, more cost effective to put that to a decent PC build which will outlast the PS6 generation anyway.
Plus you get games cheaper, get free games and aren't tied to the substandard PS+.
You can tell yourself that, but the PS4 pro was 10% of the ps4s total install base. Sony won't charge more than 599, even with inflation. And you can blame Xbox for being so bad that Sony can even consider charging so much.
It depends on how Sony approaches this. If the PS6 will be a much better predecessor from the PS5 Pro, then it wouldn't make sense to sell the thing for USD $500, won't it? Otherwise, it would be like how Apple prices their pro phones every iteration.
Sucks you have to buy the disc drive and stand separatel smh
All 3 consoles we ordered came in today 🙌
$600 with a disc drive and a stand would've been perfect.....
If people like you could afford it, the people buying it now, wouldn’t buy it.
@@ShinzoX90I'm not buying it, my launch ps5 died a couple months back. I picked up a slim and will ge keeping that.
@@ShinzoX90Codswallop
Seems like they are just hoping to hook people expecting this will be another PS4 Pro/Xbox one x refresh. Those consoles came at a time when a graphical jump was available. We're so far away from that now as we don't even have games that can consistently run 4k/60fps. Games are making you choose which one you want while the other suffers
The last gen mid refresh should have been a warning to Sony. I wonder if Sony was shocked by Microsoft not even making a prototype refresh.
Destin, do you think the IGN review was a little off with the score? IGN gave the original ps5 an 8 and clearly the ps5 pro is a better console but it was given a 7. I feel like he looked at the price and knocked it hard because of it. If anything, it should have been reviewed on just the hardware itself. I think it should have been a 9 if it is better than the original
Sony playing the Apple card and people pretending they didnt buy the new iphone every year 😂😂😂😂
Every-other year it makes sense..
In fact, as a practitioner in the luxury goods industry, you need to go through a lot to find out which ones are fake, kislux which is why people buy fakes because it is difficult to distinguish
Thanks Dustin you have just saved me $1200 dollars here in Australia 😊
@1:00 PS4 Pro? Hey Destin do you not proof this before you upload it
GameSpot with the only real Honest Review
But how will I play the Last of Us 2 Ultra Mega Remake???
Honestly it probably would have sold better if so many people werent feeling the squeeze on their pocket books right now. But the price point is just too high for marginal improvements like that. I have an Xbox Series X and a 4k tv, but my tv doesnt have a high enough refresh rate or even HDR support to maximize the potential of the series x. So the ps5 pro wouldnt do anything for me aside from slightly better fps in that case. But I feel similar in the regard that if I'm spending that level of money on the console then I might as well take that and put it into a PC instead that I can slowly build up to be much better than the PS5 PRO ever could be.
why is noone acknowledging that gamestop is giving people 300 for their current ps5 for trade in
Its been a long wait, but I didn't buy a PS5 because I knew the Pro model would eventually come out. If you're still on PS4, I think it is worth it. I'll wait another 6 months or so and see if we get a price drop once the hype dies down. Patience young grasshoppers...
I do set 6 ft away from a 77" inch OLED.
Is been a long day at work....
Paying 700+ for the equivalent of a 2080, tech enthusiast would know that’s a bad deal 😂
Alan wake 2 performance mode running worse as on a base ps5 model Dragon Age and Dragons Dogma 2 PSSR implementation looking not good is enough to not buy it. It's a joke upgrade also i don't get that the pro is for 4k oled tvs the base ps5 is also for 4k oled tvs or must i remind everyone that the base ps5 package has a 8k sticker on it ? ^^
Cost of entry is what tanked the score. If it was $499 and they lowered the base PS5 price to $399 the score would’ve been higher.
With the $699 cost, it should’ve at least come with a disc drive and or a DualSense Edge controller. Or at least a $599 option w/out a disc drive. Sony getting too cocky with their pricing.
It does come with a controller when watching Destin's unboxing video, but the big thing is that you are pretty much just getting that with no disc drive or stand and if you want that you got to pay even more. Personally, I think if Sony included the disc drive and stand, it would be more worth the price they are asking for.
Sony still believes in advancing gaming consoles, which is reassuring. Back in 2017 IGN gave the Xbox One X 9/10 and said: "The $500 Xbox One X is the most powerful console ever made. That’s a claim that's easily backed up by stunning visual and performance upgrades for both its first-party games and select enhanced multi-platform games. That gives the One X a noticeable advantage over its closest competitor, the $400 PS4 Pro".
ESO ran great in series X, but runs bad at times on ps5. The ps5 pro fixed it. It plays and looks buttery smooth now, even in cities! New World seems much smoother as well. Gran Turismo seems about the same, but i am running @120hz, now. Most games I don’t notice much difference, though, even sitting less than 4 feet from a 43” 4k tv.
If all the reviews say it has some improvements but is overpriced, how come they still rate it with a 8 or 7,5?
If you don’t have a PS5 and you want a decent console, the price isn’t bad especially if you’re going to be adding an SSD anyway. That would already be at least an extra $100+ to the price depending on the size you’re going. Then you have a gpu bump, so another $100+ makes sense.
In the PC gaming market this is all normal. As you get higher in terms of components, pricing goes up and returns in terms of output diminishes.
If you have a PS5 this won’t be a game changer. if you want one anyway, sell your PS5 to make back some of the price.
If you don’t like it just don’t buy it. Personally I have a 4090 system, upgraded from a 2080S. FPS went up but ultimately it plays all the same games and their core they look mostly the same but they run at excessive frame rates that i basically don’t notice (personally) past 60fps.
It’s a vote with your wallet situation. For some people it makes sense and for others there is no point and both are entitled to the opinions and decisions.
The problem is the price, and only the price. The base PS5 is a cheaper option against a equivalent PC. The PS5 Pro is the same price as a equivalent PC, wich makes choosing a little bit harder. People's assumption is that the more options PCs offers is for everyone, wich ins't true. Not only that, but PSSR+Optmized games can actually make it performa better than PC broken ports... The price, a little bit cheaper and the Pro would become a easy recomendation, like the base PS5 is.
You are buying exclusivity when you pick up this machine. Those who buy, do so, because people like you can’t. Understand the game of life you are playing.

"It's sort of ok on the heat... It's a little bit cooler" 🤔😂
That would make it more than "ok" considering it's more powerful 😭
Some people don't realize their internal biases come through in the way they phrase things & their inflection, but it's clear Destin doesn't want to give the PRO any props
Review Roundup summary:
**In some games, specifically unpatched titles, there's a marginal uptick in performance & image quality. Which could be disappointing.
While in other games, especially those optimized for the PRO, the upgrades can be transformative. Games like Horizon FW, FF VIIR, Dragon's Dogma 2, Stellar Blade & GT7 are some examples
Whether that's worth $700, is up to you, but we have to acknowledge it's a big ask for a console in this economy. Especially since the relatively small amount of CPU bound games won't be improved much
If you're satisfied with your base model stick with it, if you're an enthusiast who wants the extra juice go for it** END SUMMARY
Sounds exactly like a mid-gen refresh. People are trying to downplay this thing like it's the PS6 or something 😂
The heat thing would only be an issue if the original PS5 ran hot so running a little cooler isn't really as much of a positive. Also note that the PS5 Pro is louder as well.
That image quality is barely noticable side by side. WIll you even really notice when you don't have the comparison and you're not standing still. I mean when you play an action adventure game like uncharted and you're in a gunfight, I don't think you'll notice much difference. And in Europe the base price is €799 and the discdrive is €120 and the stand is €30. So €950 for a complete system with marginal performance upgrade is ridiculous imho. And I say €950 because I have a PS5 with discdrive and stand which were all included when I bought it for €550. Trade in is not really a thing here
CMOS battery replacement is an added feature. How long do they expect to stretch this generation of Playstation out?
EU passed a law that all electronic devices had to use USB C so Apple got rid of the lightning cable and all products since use USB C.
Now, they've passed a law that by a certain year, all personal electronics need to be serviceable by the person that bought it. This is likely in response to that and soon, phones won't have batteries you have to take your whole phone apart to replace.
@JeannieLove Then why didn't Xbox include replaceable CMOS batteries in the new 2TB Xbox Series X and the digital Series X that they just released last month? They redesigned the motherboard and used an improved process node for the APU, so they did make some significant changes from the initial release model. Microsoft is an international company and I'm sure they are aware of any pending EU requirements for their products.
@@JeannieLoveThis is false. The new EU law only applies to electric vehicles and portable devices, such as phones and laptops. The PS5 Pro is not a portable device.
If you are sticking with console for the couch gaming controller optimized tv experience, you can consider building a pc with an amd gpu and then installing bazzite or chimera os on it. I am doing one of those in a small form factor case so it will basically check all the boxes that the consoles do assuming everything goes to plan
consoles are good for most gamers but i think console gamers should realise that consoles are about 5-6years behind a modern day PC in terms of tech! tthey still in catch up mode
No shit
They fell behind during the PS2 era. Consoles shouldn't try to catch up, they should be an a simple fuss free affordable way to play games at a decent standard.
Yeah ill just play gta6 on my pc....ohhh yeah its not releasing on pc!!! It doesnt matter if you have a console or a pc at the end of the day its in the developers and publishers hands(and all the suits)
It looks better then OG for me im thinking of getting one day but at the moment The OG Is not bad
My OG is not quite so it would be too much difference
just got mine and wow wow wow what a machine. Peak Japanese architecture!
no, i am not spending literally TWICE the money i paid for my PS5 in 2021 for marginal improvements in.. AI upscaling, of all things.
MKBHD at the lower right corner?
I don’t need a PS5 Pro because I don’t play games Professionally.
It’s not about being a pro, it’s about having the thing you can’t afford. Understand the game of life you are playing.
@@ShinzoX90Do you work for Sony because you sound like either an employee or a bot
I have a medium range PC but much rather play on a console. All the PlayStations (except for maybe the PS3) The Switch etc have been such easy pick up and play experiences that I prefer it over PC
The ps5 pro are for people that are too scared to build a pc . Nothing wrong with that but to buy a console for “graphics” just don’t make sense
Pssr will get better with time if people remember dlss was not so hot wan that came out I remember I play on pc
Baldur's Gate 3 only runs 2-4 fps better on the Pro, let that sink in.
Hey Destin, I think you made this video just to convince yourself that the $700 + you spent on a PS5 pro was the right move to make and no I don't think the $700 + for a PS5 pro is worth it. All my PS5 games are on disk so for me the cost would be well over £800+, sod that.
Most people want 60fps minimum and the pro cant guarantee that 🤷🏾♂️
Also if they increased the power of the GPU, shouldnt the CPU match it? Otherwise the games wont run as smoothly? 🤷🏾♂️
If you have to pause it and zoom in to notice differences, is it really worth it?😂
I don't care about the price, the improvements are just too disappointing. Why didn't thes upgrade the CPU as well? And no disc drive is unacceptable as well as those ridiculously plasticky cheap feet if you wanna put it in horizontal orientation.
the value you get from the PS5 pro all depends on the quality of your TV
If it was just $700, I’d buy it. But you got to add tax, a stand and then any game you might want to play, and you’re way over $800 and close to $900.
People like you can’t afford it, that’s the big reason people who are buying it do so.
@@ShinzoX90I think they’re saying they can buy it, it’s just not worth the money.
Dont forget the disk drive 🤣
But the question is, is the real thing worth a few thousand dollars more than a kislux fake? To me, given the lack of lustre quality of modern luxury goods, it really isn't.
I'm not sure why they're doing this again when the first one wasn't a smash hit. I think a better investment for Sony to get more of their games sold with better profits and better performance options would be to move toward day-and-date to PC.
People who are buying it, are doing so Because you can’t afford it.
@@ShinzoX90Assuming a person's wealth says more about your lack of intelligence than their lack of wealth
I love my kislux bags. I've had them for a long time and they look like new. I like to spend money wisely. How many people spend all their money on expensive handbags, cars and accessories only to have it blown away? There's nothing special about high priced luxury bags
