Thanks for having some common sense. You will not get a $700 off the shelf pc that outperforms the pro. Even if it performs comparably, you probably get 500gigs of memory at best.
The disc drive for the PS5 is sold out everywhere so people want it. Also the PC has multiple storefronts to find deals. The only way to do that on a console is to buy physical.
dont forget that a lot of pc gamers just sell their old parts for said small upgrade which is what sony wants here people who have a 5 should sell for the pro if they want one then the used 5's flood the market allowing for second hand entry and those who just were still hesitant on getting a 5 can get a used one pretty cheap and sony still makes money of them buying a few games, psn plus and accessories.

During the scalping era when ps5’s were going for $1k-1.5k. Due to the limited availability for such a long time. Before anyone could really get one Sony had already announced they were releasing the Ps5 pro in like 2-3 years alongside a slim version. Then i made my mind up not to buy a normal ps5. My friend bought a normal ps5 brand new for like $650 when they went back down to RRP and were available everywhere. For an extra $100 im getting something with double the memory storage and about 25-60% faster, and can reach 120hz. Thats when a ps5 pro is worth it. For a lot of people who have ps5s now you just didnt wait out and list for the news. So far about 11 games have been ps5 releases. This entire time it’s not worth getting a ps5. However in about 12 months from now gta6 is being released. Thats when its worth it
i traded in my digital ps5 and copped a pro. i'm loving it but thanks for telling me that my son's slim disk drive will work on it. i know what i'm doing when i get home.
@@iCHRIS-xFacts, those TVs cost more than a PS5 Pro. As for myself, I’ve had a PS5 since launch and appreciate the upgrade to the Pro. I’m loving the system thus far.
Then people are going to start crying about the price of OLEDs and for the price if OLEDs there should be a disc drive. Wait until they find out they have to buy a wall mount 😱
It's like the Horizon Zero Dawn upgrade it's just textures. I bought the regular disc version and saved over 200 dollars. The cost of a disc drive sent the pro over 800 Dollars and I don't think it's worth it. PS4 pro was worth the upgrade going from 1080p to 4k but this gen it isn't worth the extra cost.
Same. I'm very happy with my standard PS5. My feeling is that the pro is mainly for collectors, whales, and streamers. Technology in this area has pretty much plateaued, with improvements only happening incrementally these days. It'll take a true breakthrough across the board in computing before we see better gameplay than what is currently available, IMHO. 🤞🤞 Thank you for the review, though. An honest opinion is always to be valued!
@@SiFiGamer2016, you caught me off-guard with this one. I'm sorry, but I really don't know what online sites would be reliable for purchasing a PS5; I bought mine in a supermarket (while they still had it in stock). Ask more people, surely someone knows.
Heard some open world games play quite a bit worse on the pro because they upgraded the GPU without upgrading the CPU and it’s using a slower reading SSD than the base ps5. Do not buy this thing. Get a base ps5 and wait for ps6.
The difference is UNREAL when is not on youtube video! I tested Last Of Us, God of War and few others with Pro mode and it's top! I always find my PS5 fat struggling with the FPS and i cannot even imagine to play Quality mode on the regular..unplayable. But a lot of people just don't need the Pro and they don't care much for fps so i get them too. If you have nice tv with vrr, hdr etc it's worth it.
None of the PS exclusives games have any problems on the regular PS5, they all run and look great even on performance mode, the only games it struggles with are the some of the multiplatform games, and it's either because it's CPU limited or they are badly optimized to run on perf mode...
Ure waisting ure time trying to tell people they have no clue console is amazing and nearly all owners agree if u have a oled tv or a 120hz vrr tv console is a massive improvement but they rather go by you tube video comparisons just enjoy ure high end graphics and high fps
I definitely won't be buying the PlayStation 5 Pro. I never intended to. Even though my PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Switch OLED were all stolen last week. I bought another Xbox Series X last Friday, and I bought me a PlayStation 5 Slim tonight. I'm going to get me another Switch OLED next pay or maybe early on next month but I promised myself I was not going to buy any mid-gen refresh consoles this console generation. Most developers are not even making use of the power of the base model PlayStation 5 or Xbox so I don't feel that a mid-gen refresh was necessary.
@@colby6385, only seriously minor improvements, and they charge hundreds of dollars and euros more just for that, and only to exploit it due to the arrival of GTA VI.
Exactly. If you're able to sell your base console for $300-400, it makes upgrading worth it. My story is the same as yours, just with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
You’re talking about performance or visual upgrade? Because I couldn’t play dragons dogma 2 on my ps5 because of the bad frame rates that makes me nauseous
@ you and me both bud, trust me the pro takes all that jittery mess away. it’s performance is on another level compared to the base ps5 end of. There’s plenty of videos around now on here that more than back up what I’m saying
@@xenogears5177 I hope gta 6 runs 60fps on ps5 pro, because visual improvements alone won’t make me buy a PS5 pro, i want a buttery smooth 60/120 fps experience
I'm concerned about buying a vertical stand for my PS5 Pro as that seems to be where the heat escapes, so wont installing the stand restrict this airflow?
LOL @ Sony advertising "DISC-FREE CONSOLE" on the box like it's a feature. Removed functionality that you have to buy back is a POSITIVE thing! Sony is Apple now, I guess?
I'm having a blast with Stellar Blade and appreciate the better visual clarity along with a stable frame rate. Monster Hunter Wilds I feel will be super worth it and I gotta play Ghost of Yotei on the pro like I did with the first game.
Try GoW Ragnarock ,its brutal. 80+ FPS 4k top quality! Last of Us is unbelievable too! Returnal and many more.. upgraded game are getting more and more every single day :)
Yup, if you've already got a PS5 and always get new consoles, I'd save the money for the switch 2 (I mean or PS6, who knows when they'll start floating that)
The thing is, the Pro will continually get better and have better performance over the standard, where as the standard will start to struggle more and more in the coming years imo.
"The thing is, the Pro will continually get better and have better performance over the standard, where as the standard will start to struggle more and more in the coming years imo.-@bhandsomeface409 😂😂😂Why not wait until it improves to get it then? Probably would be cheaper and better value for money in the years down the line that you speak of. As it stands it's a rip off.

I am perfectly content with my PS5 since that system is basically the last mainline console along with the Series X to be fully physical instead of having to pay extra for a damn disc drive
Your math ain't mathing. If you have a PS5 it's NOT a $200 "upgrade" it's $699 plus taxes. Not including the stand - which you don't need and the Cd Drive.
The main reason why we aren’t seeing any huge improvements is because we still lack games that are fully able to take advantage of the hardware yet. As soon as these games come out, the console is going to be a beast!
Oh you mean like how they still aren't making games to take advantage of the base PS5, s hardware either and still to this day making games for the PS4 also hmmm mabye if Sony would stop making games for PS4 and focus on PS5 only games we would of been able to see just what it was capable of. But no let's make the pro and still make games for PS4 for also lmfao
The problem is the sharpening Is happening to background textures. Stuff you aren't really going to be focusing on. So no don't spend the ridiculous price tag. The only people buying this are fan boys.
If I were to get one, it'd be for the increased framerate while maintaining quality. I think the emphasis on 'improved visuals' was a weird choice for them to go with in the first place. Playing at 30FPS these days seems pretty outdated at this point. All of that said, I also don't own a base PS5. If I did I wouldn't even be making hypotheticals about a pro.
I love my OG PS5, but I'm getting the Pro in February. Mainly for VR. I won't get the PS6, but I'll be getting the PS6 Pro. I'm buying pro to pro from now on.
PSVR2 does look super slick from what I've seen, but I just don't know if the library is very worth it at the moment. All the best VR stuff is on PC at the moment. The Horizon game looks nice, but you are going to want cool stuff like Half Life Alyx and Into the Radius (if you like that specific type of game)
@SILVERF0X13 I just got my psvr2 when it went on sale for 350. I love it! I plan on getting Metro and Into the radius. And many more. Right now, I'm playing RE Village.
If your watching this reading all the comments of everyone putting your confidence down to buy it here is your confidence back. Even if you dont have the perfect monitor or tv to take advantage of every peice of tech the ps5 and ps5 pro offers it is still an upgrade from your current console. You dont need oled qled vrr whatever. As long as you have hdmi 2.1 its an upgrade from your ps4, ps4 pro and ps5. If you can take advantage of all of it thats awesome. I recommend atleast 120hz 4k but it has a 1440p option also. I love it. Screw the disk drive. I havent owned a disk drive on my pc or my console in years and i still have all my games from ps4 up until now. In fact i get them cheaper alot of times because of discounts in the ps store. Go digital. Buy that ps5 pro if you really want it. Make yourself or someone happy
Silly question guys, if you buy a pro but NOT FOR any visual changes, will the new GPU and such allow the ps5 pro to still potentially perform a bit better just in general?
I have a ps4 and I use an Xgimi H1 1080P projector for it in my bedroom. If I buy the PS5 Pro , will I see a significant difference? I don’t want to upgrade my projector.
They should have included the vertical stand at the very least not that you need it. There's no ventilation occurring under the unit and it's just for stability but in my current setup it's placed in a spot where it won't get bumped.
I think it's kinda weird how much they focused on the tiny improvements in visuals in all the promotion. The increase in average framerate while keeping the fidelity of the original is probably the biggest selling point of the pro. Still not really worth this big of a price spike, but it makes it look better than saying "if you squint you can see fewer jaggies". I am personally considering a pro, but I am in the small minority of people without a ps5 already, but who want one, and who own a 4k OLED 120hz television to actually be able to see the difference. Even then though I'm having trouble justifying it. Might just try to do a little gig work to make up the difference in price to not feel bad about it. If not, I'll just go for a discounted slim for black friday.
I have a PS4 Pro install with an SSD that i swapped out a few years ago. One of the reasons I never bought a PS5. Now, I don't know if I wanna buy a PS5 Pro anymore...
lets stop downing the ps5 pro .nobody is telling you to buy it' the choice is yours. yeah $700.00 dollars is a lot of money for a new system. with out a disk drive /stand or better controler.sony got cheap this time around.screwing us gamers making us pay for their loss with CONCORD. i owned every gaming systems that came out all the playstations /XBOXES but prices have gone up on everything now a days thats the new part of life .i own the pro this give it a chance to grow in the future its early it just came out. when the ps6 comes out may be better may be not but the cost wont be cheap either. who knows. if it will. i m a gamer for the last 47 yrs at 74 yrs young still playing games and on a fixed income.but gaming is my fun and i like the best that comes out.
IK…… all the crybabies complaining, there’s not a difference in performance and it doesn’t look better….. when there literally watching a TH-cam video on gameplay on a 1080p resolution on thier phone. If you actually are playing a game in person on the PRO, you’ll see a huge difference
For most gamers the Pro is more of an upgrade product and in that regard the value proposition is absolutely terrible. This might be the worst value in gaming.
I bought one Today. Its definitely a noticeable difference with the visuals and smoothness even on the main screen but I agree with most people that the price is steep as hell for a console without a disc drive. Also its boxed so poorly compared to the original. I was a bit disappointed but hey I was warned. At least my games will be a bit prettier.
If GTA 6 happens to run at 60 fps exclusively on the Ps5 Pro, then I'll think about trading my regular Ps5 for the Pro version. Now, if those 60 fps aren't exclusive to the "Pro" console, then I'll definitely stick with the regular Ps5.
I’m so glad I canceled my pre-order. I’m sure it would have played great on my LG G2 but not a big enough upgrade over my slim. I skipped the PS4 Pro and will do the same with the PS5 pro
Well, I already enjoy my PS5 digital, it has what I want, and also i have a 1080p display so no point. But, some upgrades do seem big, just not big enough for 700$ (800Euros where I live) for the console, no disc drive or anything. Think of it this way: To get the full experience, 700$ for the console then 100 for the disc drive then 140 for 2 70$ games, plus a 25$ stand, and not to mention, a PS plus subscription. Probably going over 1000$..... yeah, no thanks.
Very important question, do you own a 4k OLED TV, preferrable with 120Hz (or something with comparable quality, not trying to be a snob)? If not then almost certainly you should go for the base model. They'll both look great on anything, but unless you have a screen capable of showing the improved graphics, I can't imagine it's worth the price hike.
Yup. I hope that people with lower end TVs didn't go out and buy a brand new PS5 Pro only to have the image look the exact same. Not saying everyone should go out right now and buy a 4k 120hz OLED, but I imagine anything less than that isn't going to be enough to notice the improvements in the pro.
I love ffviir and Stella blade. I also got a bunch of coupons from my cell carrier that basically covered the whole console. So it was a nobrainer for me
Same CPU, with a slight overclock. A new CPU would make it a new console. You are aware that it's still a PS5, right? Double the price is wild... these narratives are getting crazy.
Got the LG oled 65ich before the base ps5 . Runs perfectly together. Slap the setting to quality and still 4k60 . Want more fps ? Plug her into a old 1080p or 1440p . Always go pc for eye candy tho . The current line up of game still don't even fully push the base anyway 😂 not like ps4 days where some did reach the machines limit
If I take the disc drive off my slim PS5 to use on my pro will the panel from the pro work on the PS5 slim to cover up the spot were the disc drive was?
If a disc drive and stand had been included and it was 600 it 'might' have been worthwhile upgrade. Also factor in the poor games releases of late and it becomes an even harder sell. This really is for those with money to burn, hardcore enthusiasts and those who don't have a PC alternative.
Im let you know i have a ps5 dev kit and it was more expensive than ps5 pro it was totally worth it. When there was randoms popping up i got 1 its really solid system and the options are incredible there is ray tracing and motion blur even a experimental res enhancers. And it includes 7TB of storage more then the pro
My pulse elite headset was disconnecting all the time on my PS5, I got it when it first came out ,I would follow instructed trouble shoot for the most part it worked when It would it did but when it would disconnect you couldn't reconnect unless you restarted the console ,since I got my PRO I haven't had no such issue ,was it worth the money just for that no but it sure is cool it doesn't happen anymore lol
thanks. i brought a slim with drive on sale about a week ago. still have not set up. was waithing as more disc drives were supposed to be availble when the pro came out. now its early 2025. i want the drive. i play now and again and i will be coming from a PS3. so the 5 should look nicer with games. $1200.00 AUD is a lot for a cosole with no drive. and i have not gamed for at least 5 years. and i thought tomb raider 2013 on PS3 looked good. then i tried my uncharted 2. that looked old. i think the 5 will do me till the 6. the pro enhancments looks nice and overtime will get better. i might notice it and more so if i sat a little closer. but for now i think the 5 is a nice upgrade for me.

During the scalping era when ps5’s were going for $1k-1.5k. Due to the limited availability for such a long time. Before anyone could really get one Sony had already announced they were releasing the Ps5 pro in like 2-3 years alongside a slim version. Then i made my mind up not to buy a normal ps5.
My friend bought a normal ps5 brand new for like $650 when they went back down to RRP and were available everywhere. For an extra $100 im getting something with double the memory storage and about 25-60% faster, and can reach 120hz. Thats when a ps5 pro is worth it.
For a lot of people who have ps5s now you just didnt wait out and list for the news. So far about 11 games have been ps5 releases. This entire time it’s not worth getting a ps5. However in about 12 months from now gta6 is being released. Thats when its worth it
i traded in my digital ps5 and copped a pro. i'm loving it but thanks for telling me that my son's slim disk drive will work on it. i know what i'm doing when i get home.
If you’re not getting a pro, stop complaining and get an Oled tv/ monitor. This will change your gaming experience on the PS5 and more on the pro
@@corrd3ll they won’t even get that because they’re broke , just here to complain
@@iCHRIS-xFacts, those TVs cost more than a PS5 Pro. As for myself, I’ve had a PS5 since launch and appreciate the upgrade to the Pro. I’m loving the system thus far.
Then people are going to start crying about the price of OLEDs and for the price if OLEDs there should be a disc drive. Wait until they find out they have to buy a wall mount 😱
@ 😂😂😂
@@iCHRIS-xwow, so you're telling us you spent a couple grand on a console and a tv? Quite the big spender aren't you? 😆
It's like the Horizon Zero Dawn upgrade it's just textures. I bought the regular disc version and saved over 200 dollars. The cost of a disc drive sent the pro over 800 Dollars and I don't think it's worth it. PS4 pro was worth the upgrade going from 1080p to 4k but this gen it isn't worth the extra cost.
It’s a huge difference on a really good monitor! It definitely depends on the game aswell. I love mine but I still have launch day ps5.
Waste of money I'll stick to my original one 😅
Ur dumb I’m buying a pro today and I have the pro 30th coming in a week u r poor
Nearly $900 Console with the stand 😂 $25 off from it
Same here.
Same, the Pro cost $1380NZ and there is nowhere you can buy the disk drive. My PS5 will be the last Sony console I will ever use, I'm done with them.
Same. I'm very happy with my standard PS5. My feeling is that the pro is mainly for collectors, whales, and streamers.
Technology in this area has pretty much plateaued, with improvements only happening incrementally these days. It'll take a true breakthrough across the board in computing before we see better gameplay than what is currently available, IMHO. 🤞🤞
Thank you for the review, though. An honest opinion is always to be valued!
If you turn the original ps5 vertical stand it can hold your old ps5 console horizontal
I don't have a PS5, but I'd rather purchase the slim model than this. Saves some time and money. Cool to know about some better features though.
Yeah don’t even bother with the Pro too expensive no disc drive or a stand either and not worth the money at all
Yeah, but those slight improvements are not worth such an increased price. I too would suggest Slim instead of this overpriced bullshit.
@@DevilFan669, agreed.
@@FilipRanogajec Let's say that I'm ready to get the slim model. What location or site should I go to?
@@SiFiGamer2016, you caught me off-guard with this one. I'm sorry, but I really don't know what online sites would be reliable for purchasing a PS5; I bought mine in a supermarket (while they still had it in stock). Ask more people, surely someone knows.
Heard some open world games play quite a bit worse on the pro because they upgraded the GPU without upgrading the CPU and it’s using a slower reading SSD than the base ps5. Do not buy this thing. Get a base ps5 and wait for ps6.
The difference is UNREAL when is not on youtube video! I tested Last Of Us, God of War and few others with Pro mode and it's top! I always find my PS5 fat struggling with the FPS and i cannot even imagine to play Quality mode on the regular..unplayable. But a lot of people just don't need the Pro and they don't care much for fps so i get them too. If you have nice tv with vrr, hdr etc it's worth it.
lol no its not. I dont want to have to replay old games just to see a difference.
None of the PS exclusives games have any problems on the regular PS5, they all run and look great even on performance mode, the only games it struggles with are the some of the multiplatform games, and it's either because it's CPU limited or they are badly optimized to run on perf mode...

Nicely done
I made the same leap
I will definitely buy a ps5 pro BUT only when GTA 6 get released, who knows maybe prices will get low

I definitely won't be buying the PlayStation 5 Pro. I never intended to. Even though my PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Switch OLED were all stolen last week. I bought another Xbox Series X last Friday, and I bought me a PlayStation 5 Slim tonight. I'm going to get me another Switch OLED next pay or maybe early on next month but I promised myself I was not going to buy any mid-gen refresh consoles this console generation. Most developers are not even making use of the power of the base model PlayStation 5 or Xbox so I don't feel that a mid-gen refresh was necessary.
Ps5 pro is awesome im loving it it looks amazing on my 55inch Sony bravia TV it's definitely a noticeable difference im so happy with my purchase 😊😊😊
I have no plans to buy a PS5 pro. It's a scam and Sony's greed knows no limits.
Agree they sure are greed and that’s a shame too I like Sony but the PS5 Pro way too much money and the design of it not a fan of it at all

@ I would definitely prefer the pro if you play a lot. It runs super smooth. The graphics are incredible.
I always get the next new console but um im stay with my og ps5. Works great and looks beautifully
Yup, if you've already got a PS5 and always get new consoles, I'd save the money for the switch 2 (I mean or PS6, who knows when they'll start floating that)
The thing is, the Pro will continually get better and have better performance over the standard, where as the standard will start to struggle more and more in the coming years imo.
This is true and expected. That's why most people will wait a couple of years before purchase. Also there will be cheaper price opportunities i think.
"The thing is, the Pro will continually get better and have better performance over the standard, where as the standard will start to struggle more and more in the coming years imo.-@bhandsomeface409
😂😂😂Why not wait until it improves to get it then? Probably would be cheaper and better value for money in the years down the line that you speak of. As it stands it's a rip off. You can literally buy 2 brand new ps5 consoles for the price of 1 ps5 pro and you're not getting twice the quality or even the jump from PS4 pro to standard ps5🤷
By the time it improves the PS6 will release and make the Pro obsolete, u will play these PRO enhanced games on the PS6, where they will run even better than on the Pro...
@@Loophole23742Why wait, there are multiple games now that benefit from the extra horsepower and more to come in the future. I’m not worried about saving like $100-$150 if it means I have to wait 2 years 🤣!

I am perfectly content with my PS5 since that system is basically the last mainline console along with the Series X to be fully physical instead of having to pay extra for a damn disc drive
“ Pro “ but doesn’t even have a disc drive 💀💀💀 what’s pro about it exactly? Some damn reflections in game???
Your math ain't mathing. If you have a PS5 it's NOT a $200 "upgrade" it's $699 plus taxes. Not including the stand - which you don't need and the Cd Drive.
The main reason why we aren’t seeing any huge improvements is because we still lack games that are fully able to take advantage of the hardware yet. As soon as these games come out, the console is going to be a beast!
Oh you mean like how they still aren't making games to take advantage of the base PS5, s hardware either and still to this day making games for the PS4 also hmmm mabye if Sony would stop making games for PS4 and focus on PS5 only games we would of been able to see just what it was capable of. But no let's make the pro and still make games for PS4 for also lmfao
I, too, will keep my base form ps5, but at least I'll give the Pro 1-3 years tops to convince me otherwise.
The problem is the sharpening Is happening to background textures. Stuff you aren't really going to be focusing on. So no don't spend the ridiculous price tag. The only people buying this are fan boys.
If I were to get one, it'd be for the increased framerate while maintaining quality. I think the emphasis on 'improved visuals' was a weird choice for them to go with in the first place. Playing at 30FPS these days seems pretty outdated at this point. All of that said, I also don't own a base PS5. If I did I wouldn't even be making hypotheticals about a pro.
I love my OG PS5, but I'm getting the Pro in February. Mainly for VR. I won't get the PS6, but I'll be getting the PS6 Pro. I'm buying pro to pro from now on.
Not ever worth it man and who needs all these next gen consoles lol 😂
PSVR2 does look super slick from what I've seen, but I just don't know if the library is very worth it at the moment. All the best VR stuff is on PC at the moment. The Horizon game looks nice, but you are going to want cool stuff like Half Life Alyx and Into the Radius (if you like that specific type of game)
@SILVERF0X13 I just got my psvr2 when it went on sale for 350. I love it! I plan on getting Metro and Into the radius. And many more. Right now, I'm playing RE Village.
If your watching this reading all the comments of everyone putting your confidence down to buy it here is your confidence back. Even if you dont have the perfect monitor or tv to take advantage of every peice of tech the ps5 and ps5 pro offers it is still an upgrade from your current console. You dont need oled qled vrr whatever. As long as you have hdmi 2.1 its an upgrade from your ps4, ps4 pro and ps5. If you can take advantage of all of it thats awesome. I recommend atleast 120hz 4k but it has a 1440p option also. I love it. Screw the disk drive. I havent owned a disk drive on my pc or my console in years and i still have all my games from ps4 up until now. In fact i get them cheaper alot of times because of discounts in the ps store. Go digital. Buy that ps5 pro if you really want it. Make yourself or someone happy
Silly question guys, if you buy a pro but NOT FOR any visual changes, will the new GPU and such allow the ps5 pro to still potentially perform a bit better just in general?
I have a ps4 and I use an Xgimi H1 1080P projector for it in my bedroom.
If I buy the PS5 Pro , will I see a significant difference?
I don’t want to upgrade my projector.
They should have included the vertical stand at the very least not that you need it. There's no ventilation occurring under the unit and it's just for stability but in my current setup it's placed in a spot where it won't get bumped.
Is it allowed and accepted to play with a keyboard and mouse on ps5 and Pro?
I think it's kinda weird how much they focused on the tiny improvements in visuals in all the promotion. The increase in average framerate while keeping the fidelity of the original is probably the biggest selling point of the pro. Still not really worth this big of a price spike, but it makes it look better than saying "if you squint you can see fewer jaggies". I am personally considering a pro, but I am in the small minority of people without a ps5 already, but who want one, and who own a 4k OLED 120hz television to actually be able to see the difference. Even then though I'm having trouble justifying it. Might just try to do a little gig work to make up the difference in price to not feel bad about it. If not, I'll just go for a discounted slim for black friday.
I have a PS4 Pro install with an SSD that i swapped out a few years ago. One of the reasons I never bought a PS5. Now, I don't know if I wanna buy a PS5 Pro anymore...
Ordered the pro to test and ended up keeping it. Noticeable difference if you have a good screen
When you move Slim's disk drive to a Pro, does that Pro plate fit the Slim properly? In case you want to re-sell Slim as a "digital" version.
There's nothing premium about the built.... Same cheap and nasty plastics. Not even a stand.... 🤦🏼♀️
lets stop downing the ps5 pro .nobody is telling you to buy it' the choice is yours. yeah $700.00 dollars is a lot of money for a new system. with out a disk drive /stand or better controler.sony got cheap this time around.screwing us gamers making us pay for their loss with CONCORD. i owned every gaming systems that came out all the playstations /XBOXES but prices have gone up on everything now a days thats the new part of life .i own the pro this give it a chance to grow in the future its early it just came out. when the ps6 comes out may be better may be not but the cost wont be cheap either. who knows. if it will. i m a gamer for the last 47 yrs at 74 yrs young still playing games and on a fixed income.but gaming is my fun and i like the best that comes out.

Oof, I bought mine before watching? Is my console cursed now 😂
Yes it is quickly rub some salt on it and speak these words to un curse it. Necto verata spinkter
IK…… all the crybabies complaining, there’s not a difference in performance and it doesn’t look better….. when there literally watching a TH-cam video on gameplay on a 1080p resolution on thier phone. If you actually are playing a game in person on the PRO, you’ll see a huge difference
Everyone complaining make me laugh. Y'all are mad cause you focused on fun instead of work and can't afford nice things.
For most gamers the Pro is more of an upgrade product and in that regard the value proposition is absolutely terrible. This might be the worst value in gaming.
I bought one Today. Its definitely a noticeable difference with the visuals and smoothness even on the main screen but I agree with most people that the price is steep as hell for a console without a disc drive. Also its boxed so poorly compared to the original. I was a bit disappointed but hey I was warned. At least my games will be a bit prettier.
To be fair, the visual artifacts of the ps5 on stellar blade kinda makes the movement of Eve (the character) look cooler somehow.
Absolutely hated the artifacts on Stellar Blade, Wukong, RE4, and Alan Wake... the Pro took all that away. Gorgeous console.
Correct. The pizza is already cooked well (PS5) but sony is serving it more golden brown (PS5 Pro) for $2 more dollars
If GTA 6 happens to run at 60 fps exclusively on the Ps5 Pro, then I'll think about trading my regular Ps5 for the Pro version. Now, if those 60 fps aren't exclusive to the "Pro" console, then I'll definitely stick with the regular Ps5.
Also they complain about a 700 dollar console… even tho they buy 4k plus(on TH-cam) to see what the pro really looks like😂😂😂😂
I’m so glad I canceled my pre-order. I’m sure it would have played great on my LG G2 but not a big enough upgrade over my slim. I skipped the PS4 Pro and will do the same with the PS5 pro
imagine stellar blade outfit 😍 with better thickness
Well, I already enjoy my PS5 digital, it has what I want, and also i have a 1080p display so no point. But, some upgrades do seem big, just not big enough for 700$ (800Euros where I live) for the console, no disc drive or anything. Think of it this way: To get the full experience, 700$ for the console then 100 for the disc drive then 140 for 2 70$ games, plus a 25$ stand, and not to mention, a PS plus subscription. Probably going over 1000$..... yeah, no thanks.
If you have a good tv or monitor and don’t mind depending 700 on it I’d say it looks nice in person it’s easier to see
And don't forget to look for used base PS5s which regularly sell for $300, at least in California. Then the choice becomes much easier.

Me watching this video after buying PS5 pro.
I got a very good deal in UK from very. I got it for £560.
I am thinking about getting a ps5 and I am someone who cares about graphics, is the ps5 pro worth getting over the normal ps5?
Very important question, do you own a 4k OLED TV, preferrable with 120Hz (or something with comparable quality, not trying to be a snob)? If not then almost certainly you should go for the base model. They'll both look great on anything, but unless you have a screen capable of showing the improved graphics, I can't imagine it's worth the price hike.
@ I have a oled tv which does 4k at 60 hertz and a monitor which is non oled but 4k at 120 hertz
@ do you think that would be worth the pro
Not to mention, you also need to upgrade your tv if it is not top notch to even try to see the difference
Yup. I hope that people with lower end TVs didn't go out and buy a brand new PS5 Pro only to have the image look the exact same. Not saying everyone should go out right now and buy a 4k 120hz OLED, but I imagine anything less than that isn't going to be enough to notice the improvements in the pro.
I love ffviir and Stella blade. I also got a bunch of coupons from my cell carrier that basically covered the whole console. So it was a nobrainer for me
I'm good,,not chasing these extra visual an smoother game play sales pitch ,when 60% off sale comes....keeping my O G Ps5
Sony skimped on the CPU, yet has the audacity to ask for double the price of the base PS5 Digital.
Yeah, same CPU as standard consoles
Same CPU, with a slight overclock. A new CPU would make it a new console. You are aware that it's still a PS5, right? Double the price is wild... these narratives are getting crazy.
I'll wait for the PS6 before I consider another upgrade. This was just a money grab for the stupid.
Dude stop it the pro looks amazing
Got the LG oled 65ich before the base ps5 . Runs perfectly together. Slap the setting to quality and still 4k60 . Want more fps ? Plug her into a old 1080p or 1440p . Always go pc for eye candy tho . The current line up of game still don't even fully push the base anyway 😂 not like ps4 days where some did reach the machines limit
If I take the disc drive off my slim PS5 to use on my pro will the panel from the pro work on the PS5 slim to cover up the spot were the disc drive was?
If a disc drive and stand had been included and it was 600 it 'might' have been worthwhile upgrade. Also factor in the poor games releases of late and it becomes an even harder sell. This really is for those with money to burn, hardcore enthusiasts and those who don't have a PC alternative.
What was that welcome background it’s so cool
Thank you for speaking the truth. Other people seem to try to justify their purchases instead of saying what needs to be said.
Im let you know i have a ps5 dev kit and it was more expensive than ps5 pro it was totally worth it. When there was randoms popping up i got 1 its really solid system and the options are incredible there is ray tracing and motion blur even a experimental res enhancers. And it includes 7TB of storage more then the pro
My pulse elite headset was disconnecting all the time on my PS5, I got it when it first came out ,I would follow instructed trouble shoot for the most part it worked when It would it did but when it would disconnect you couldn't reconnect unless you restarted the console ,since I got my PRO I haven't had no such issue ,was it worth the money just for that no but it sure is cool it doesn't happen anymore lol
You didn't show no 8K content.You didn't show nothing about 8k at all
Rather than complaining, look it up elsewhere...
Sony removed 8k from the box before launch lol.
thats a double negative
You must be one of the 1% asking for 8k reviews because they own an 8k tv 😂
I can't find an 8k capture card. I don't think they make them
The PS5 is it for me. I'm not spending another dime on a new console that I don't need.
I’m not gonna lie I bought it to have the best experience for GTA 6
Am I tripping or has the Series X not been able to do most of it since its launch?
thanks. i brought a slim with drive on sale about a week ago. still have not set up. was waithing as more disc drives were supposed to be availble when the pro came out. now its early 2025. i want the drive. i play now and again and i will be coming from a PS3. so the 5 should look nicer with games. $1200.00 AUD is a lot for a cosole with no drive. and i have not gamed for at least 5 years. and i thought tomb raider 2013 on PS3 looked good. then i tried my uncharted 2. that looked old. i think the 5 will do me till the 6. the pro enhancments looks nice and overtime will get better. i might notice it and more so if i sat a little closer. but for now i think the 5 is a nice upgrade for me.
How quiet is the pro when compared to the og ps5?
Mine seems quieter. Might do a comparison
