I would wait until the PS5 Pro deployment.

If your patience runs out between now and then, you can go on a month-to-month basis with waiting.

Once that happens, you might be able to get a sweet deal on a Pro in 2026.

Have you been waiting out a PS5 Pro or are you simply trading in and upgrading?

 

[MikeM]

Im on the fence mainly because my PC does everything I need and then some (7600x/7900xt), but also because all we have are rumours without anything from Sony themselves.

 

[adamsapple]

Unless there's some real earth shattering differences, sticking with the OG FAT.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Upgrading from ps5 to Pro

 

[Wandering Leopard]

I'll get early next year, makes sense to find a trade-in deal for the regular ps5.

 

[Nankatsu]

Yes, I'm upgrading...to a PC.

 

[Danjin44]

I don’t need Pro….I rather spend my money on actual new system like next Nintendo system or PS6.

If I’m that desperate for high tech graphics then I would better off getting PC which will out perform Pro.

 

[Fbh]

Depends on the price of the pro and how much of an improvement it is.

But I'll probably just stick with the base model and put that money towards eventually moving to PC

 

[mansoor1980]

 

[Skifi28]

Unless it's somehow terrible or unfathomably overpriced, I'm upgrading. The Old PS5 can go to the bedroom to replace the PS4 pro there which I've been using for remote play.

 

[RJMacready73]

There needs to be a proper visual leap over what we currently have, same goes with the PSVR2, if it's just extra frames, then nah

 

[The Cockatrice]

Skipping. Nothing to play on PS5 much less the pro. I have a PC so as long as Sony keeps porting their stuff to PC, it's just gathering dust.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Borrowing a friends PS5 to play Astrobot! Got it setup and ready to go.
Will get the 5Pro eventually for myself, or wait till the 6.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Skipping, and sticking with my PS5. I don’t play enough on the PS5 to warrant an upgrade.

Don’t care, waiting till PS6, and that is not a given. Most likely getting whatever handheld will be most powerful at the time.

J/k, will just get a Steamdeck 2.

 

[Fess]

My PC is my Pro.
I’ll stay on PS5 unless the Pro is marvelous as a Bluray player, currently using the PS5 for movies and the coil/fan noise is annoying.

 

[nikos]

Bought a PS5 at launch and sold it this year because I never used it.

I'll buy a Pro if (probably when) GTA VI launches as a timed console exclusive.

 

[AJUMP23]

I am waiting for SWITCH 2, the real power in gaming.

 

[R6Rider]

I'll be upgrading from my PS5.

Regular PS5 will move into the living room.

 

[Mithos]

None of the above.

PS5 was always sold out and when it started to be available in a impulse lets buy level, it was too expensive years after the release that at that time waiting for the PS5 Pro was more smart.

Whether or not the PS5 or PS5 Pro will become cheap enough to warrant a buy is another thing though...

 

[West Texas CEO]

I'll be upgrading from my PS5.

Regular PS5 will move into the living room.

So, the Pro will be in the ... Boom-boom room?

 

[R6Rider]

So, the Pro will be in the ... Boom-boom room?

 

[MayauMiao]

I'm looking forward to Switch Pro and upgrading my PC.

PS5 Pro barely get my attention.

 

[rotorfire]

Upgrading, with the current PS5 going to the missus

 

[TintoConCasera]

Sticking to PC, still no reason for me to get a PS5.

Maybe with the Pro out they start releasing more games and some of those might be appealing to me, but for now, they can keep it.

 

[Chuck Berry]

I’ll get a Pro eventually but right now there’s simply no reason to. No games out there are worth buying the system for for a small res or framerate bump.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Console distributors are giving the consumers to choose different versions of their consoles, power, insane graphics, identify differences.

 

[nnytk]

I sold my PS5 close to when it just released, back then I didn't feel the need to have/use it.

Fast forward to 2024 and my GPU has been melting and I don't want to replace it atm. Thermal paste and not gaming on my RTX 2080 will probably make it last another year or two.

I also work a lot behind my computer, so manga and console gaming (Switch for now) balance it all out.

All on all I'm very excited for the PS5 Pro. The wait is pretty annoying though.

 

[Raven117]

There haven't been any games that have pushed the Ps5, so why would I bother with an upgrade?

If one is jumping from ps4 to ps5 pro. Enjoy!

 

[Topher]

Already sold my PS5 earlier in the year. Waiting on Pro now. Sucks I'm going to also be waiting on Astro though

 

[avin]

I'll wait till there's a game I want on it. I need just one, but it needs to be great. Astrobot is unlikely to be it.

avin

 

[GymWolf]

Gamestop is gonna have my ps5 so i can pay pro half price.

Did the same with ps4 to pro and crom pro to ps5.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Buy Concord.

 

[Big Baller]

 

[existensmaximum]

The games aren't there. Unless the Pro somehow magically brings more and better games, I'll stick with my OG fat PS5. Mediocre games are still mediocre regardless of resolution

There are like one or two games that actually push the PS5 anyway.

 

[TheHTIC]

I traded in my PS5 not long ago for a few reasons.

1. I wasn't playing it much
2. Trade-in for store credit was pretty good.
3. In anticipation of getting the Pro and maybe tackling my backlog at that time .

Thing is, I don't really miss it so I may not be getting one for a while but who knows.

 

[Raven117]

Gamestop is gonna have my ps5 so i can pay pro half price.

Did the same with ps4 to pro and crom pro to ps5.

Are they doing this deal?

 

[near]

I can't vote.

There is no option for: "I'm upgrading to a Pro from my regular PS4"

 

[GymWolf]

Are they doing this deal?

They always did, at least in my city, i don't see why they should stop doing it all of a sudden.

 

[R6Rider]

I can't vote.

There is no option for: "I'm upgrading to a Pro from my regular PS4"

I think the first option covers you.

The options are in regards to PS5 owners or non-owners.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

What's the point? They rarely release anything worth playing imo

That would suggest I was waiting for the PS5 Pro exclusively lol, I wasn't.

 

[Muffdraul]

I can't imagine any reason why I wouldn't just automatically upgrade from my vanilla PS5 to a Pro ASAP. Aside from getting cockblocked by scalper bullshit, naturally.

 

[R6Rider]

That would suggest I was waiting for the PS5 Pro exclusively lol, I wasn't.

Well idk then. Just lie lol

 

[Neo Blaster]

My son's PS4 Pro is defective, so instead of buying a PS5 Slim for replacement, I'm going to buy a Pro and pass current PS5 to him.

 

[R6Rider]

scalper

For real though, that's my biggest worry.

 

[applesaucejaxon]

I'm just sticking with my launch PS5. If "my kids" "accidentally" sabotage it and it stops working, I may have no choice but to justify upgrading. But what are the odds of that happening?

 

[Mossybrew]

Will only be getting a Pro if my current PS5 dies.

 

[bundylove]

Yes

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

What are you talking about?

Most people upgrading to a Pro have ps5 as their primary system. There’s always stuff worth playing
