This universe, let me put some more context, since you're nitpicking the part you want:
"We kept the look of the PS5 Pro consistent with the overall PS5 family of products. You'll notice the height is the same size as the original PS5, and the width is the same size as the current PS5 model to accommodate higher performance specs. Players can add an Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Drive, or swap out console covers when they become available."
So why would they say the width is the same? Put disc drive and covers on the same sentence when the drive is compatible? Couldn't they just straight up say the covers ARE NOT compatible?
then they follow with this pic, showing IDENTICAL plates
"PS5 Pro fits perfectly within the PS5 family of products and is compatible with the PS5 accessories currently available, including PlayStation VR2, PlayStation Portal, DualSense Edge, Access controller, Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore. The user interface and network services will also remain the same as PS5."
Reinforcing the idea that acessories are interchangeable.
There's a reason everyone was basically sure plates were compatible and are now surprised it might not the case, you're not smart because only you in the whole world knew this was the situation since blog post, it was just awful communication from Sony's side if not purposely deceiving to avoid initial backlash.
Accessories as in USB/BT accessories. Those have nothing to do with the physical dimensions of the console
When talking about the plates they SPECIFICALLY said the PS5 Pro plates are NOT available yet
Can't be much clearer than that
Then Amazon Japan posted the official chart I posted above
What more do you need??

Who do you think is doing these upgrades? Do you think they just pull a random dev out of a hat and say, "Here's a few terabytes of code and assets, go make it better..." ?
No, of course they don't; they go to the original dev and ask them if they have the spare manpower to turn around the version update in a reasonable time.
Sorry, so tired of the thoughtlessness of these complaints. Its so obvious.

"Accessories as in USB/BT accessories. Those have nothing to do with the physical dimensions of the console"
Well, let's see what they said again.
"PS5 Pro fits perfectly within the PS5 family of products and is compatible with the PS5 accessories currently available"
Your description is irrelevant and different from what they said, "is compatible with the PS5 acessories currently available", period.
"When talking about the plates they SPECIFICALLY say the PS5 Pro plates are NOT available yet"
No they did not, you're again making up shit they didn't say, in the very least they left room for other interpretations, "swap out console covers when they become available" isn't 100% interchangeable with "current slim covers are incompatible": it can mean stock availability, it can mean new colors made for the Pro, improve your reading comprehension. The rest of the post just makes even harder to conclude the Pro plates are not interchangeable with slim ones.
"Then Amazon Japan posted the official chart I posted above" When was the chart posted?
Why only Japan? When did they post it? Why not on the official blog post? Answer each one of these questions.
Or maybe just stop posting about the matter, you're embarrasing yourself.

Of course you ignored everything i said and just reposted the pic like it means anything
But congratulations for having an IQ so high. You were in the select group of 3 people that apparently knew from the blog post alone, that the plates were not compatible.

We are arguing over the plates now?
For real I was just looking for a suitable gif and gave up.

I get the logic but I was just going by the side by side. Its not the end of the world either way. I just don't care for the glossy finish on the slim but at this point I have almost the full line of accessories and they're all the same color. They won't sell out like the disc drive for those that want to swap out. I'm more concerned with external heatsink compatibility from slim to pro because I can order one and I know my launch model heatsink won't fit

The whole point of PC gaming is complexity, no? Use whatever controller you want, change graphics settings, mod games. If I just wanted to double click exe and play game I'd buy a PS5.

The most evident thing in motion is that the left image will be 60fps.

We are actually arguing over basic reading comprehension
But I'm expecting too much probably
"much pretentious slow walking" How can someone string together random words like this and still expect to make any sense? Some people here don't know how to separate technical analysis from personal opinion

none of these words were chosen at random.
the game has many forced slow walking moments. aka, moments where the Devs shit on gameplay and want to pretend they are creating artistic moments by limiting your controls and forcing you through a guided tour, while badly written dialogs happen.
they pretend to give you interactivity and they pretend like there is some artistic value to it. in reality it's just fake interactivity that amounts to nothing more than holding the left stick forward for 5 minutes, while, what is essentially, a badly animated cutscene plays out.
artificially changing how your character reacts to inputs also creates a disconnect between the player and the character, lowering gameplay immersion dramatically. you feel that you aren't actually in control here, when suddenly your jump button doesn't work anymore, or your attack button doesn't do anything, when suddenly a few moments later they work again...
you can't get immersed when you are constantly reminded that you're just commanding around a puppet that sometimes just refuses to listen to your commands at random.
and that's not even talking about how they ruin replayability because they are usually unskippable.
forced slow walking sequences have no value. they only take away from a game's replayability and immersion whenever they are added.

Part I looks absolutely insane on Pro.
I am legit blown away.
Virtually little or no discernable aliasing.

Tried GT7, FF7 Rebirth and Stellar Blade.
Huge IQ and performance upgrade in Stellar Blade and FF7 Rebirth. Stellar Blade even runs at 80fps with a VRR screen.
GT7 looks really nice with RT. I hope CDPR is working on a Cyberpunk Pro patch. Would love to see how far they can push RT on a console.
And is it just me or does the new disc drive sound quiter than the original model?
Edit: Whoops, wrong thread.

Keep in mind GT7 hasnt been updated yet but its pretty solid in RT mode. (Probably what you meant)
No more frame drops/stutters with cars bunched up and heavy rain.

At this point I've had part 2 in my backlog for so many years and it just keeps getting updated
I might finally play it on Pro
