Still I can say I’m fucking disappointed with it. Because I have one and you don’t

- Any one disappointed?
F******s couldn't provide one single disc drive for launch.
I have preordered from two different retailers. No one could deliver a drive.
Checked two electronic stores. Zero Drives from Sony. Called Media Markt no disc drives for release.

Horizon blew me away. Especially HFW as I can freely travel across the map.
Ratchet & Clank also looked really good and the upgrade for FFVII is great as well.
Also checked out some other games, but nothing that was as profound as the games above.
The main benefits I see, for me, is the performance boosts and higher IQ and improved graphics for performance modes that are ideal for Remote Play on Portal.
Since most of my playtime will be on Portal, this might arguably be the biggest pro for the Pro.
Haven't tested VR yet.

Stellar Blade looks and runs far better.
I'm about to go try some VR and a few titles but I wanted to see what the thoughts are.
- Any games you played that blew you away yet?
- Any one disappointed?
Also, you didn't put the disc drive feet on your Pro, right?

I saw your comment on this before and honestly this is thread-worthy or at least a bump to an old Portal thread. I haven't tried yet but I will later.

I didn't check under the latch at the bottom and I own that I'm a retarded human being. I couldn't figure it out until a friend told me there's two sets of feet.

Cheap packaging and overall poor package ie lack of vertical stand, cheap horizontal stands, cheap feeling cables, none of it screamed premium, this already gave me a poor impression then after initial setup, it says welcome to PS5, no mention of Pro in any of the software, none of the games have an enhanced label/icon on the home screen, the majority of games give us no indication of what the enhancements are, it all just gives an impression that they want to charge flagship prices, but not offer a flagship device.
Then I load a game, the fan is noisier than my launch PS5, it's not LOUD like a PS4 or PS4 Pro but it's loud, it's like my PC at idle, but that's full of fans and has a 16 core 24 thread CPU and a 4090 in it, i shouldn't be hearing my console in 2024 especially when it cost me the equivalent of $908 USD, then Fortnite runs worse than my launch PS5 in the 120hz mode, Fifa gives me 60fps menus and cut scenes but the exact same gameplay, it's all just very shit if i'm honest, whatever, it means my eldest daughter can have my launch PS5 and I can pass the Xbox One X she currently uses to my nephew, after the absolute shit the PS4 Pro was in terms of noise I'll never jump on a mid gen refresh again.

Don't feel bad, someone else just had this mistake in another thread. I'm sure many more will

This is what i was afraid of TBH.....im hoping this isn't the case with all of them. My PS4 Pro back in the day turned into a 747 taking off with certain games (No Mans Sky as an example) that i got to the point where it was very distracting anytime i heard it.

That’s one thing that I will say Sony have been lacking in; their console packaging presentation has never been that great imo.

I serenaded it
It's sleeker than the original fat DE which I had. There is a fan noise, not really noticeable, only relatively speaking compared to the silent PS5 I'm used to. I've been playing ZD Remastered.
Chose the Balanced Pro mode. Got to be honest, Quality Pro was a bit disappointing, wasn't smooth at all. I might try it with vrr but doubt it will mitigate those issues. Someone else also mentioned the UI being choppy. It is but not on the main menus, more in the system menu itself.
F1 24 looks legit amazing though. Compared to base PS5. I'll be trying a few more games but we aren't going to see the best of this thing until April when Sony start dropping bombs again.

Honestly, mine was too loud to hear the game without headphones, my son's was so loud we could hear it downstairs when he was in a game, it was ridiculously noisy, he mainly played Black Ops 3 at the time.

I'm ready to boot up the console and :
Those plastic feet are just...a farce.
They didn't even put some rubber on the lower part as to have more grip ...
I have my console sitting on small drawer next to me and I'm afraid of knocking the damned thing off - something which didn't happen with the OG PS5 's stand...
So, what are my options here ? Need a horizontal stand that has some grip and the ones I've seen on Amazon are the usual bullshit ski ones ...
Fucking Sony man, just like
gooner4life_uk
said, this screams El cheapo - from the packaging, to the cables, to the acrylic plastic feet, I've gotten items from Amazon and AliExpress that had better packaging and/or felt more premium ffs

, I bought my son this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0D1RBH7WG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for his PS5 Slim in August and it's honestly great, infact i think it's better quality than the official Sony vertical stand, it looks the same but the non slip bottom of the cheap one I bought is better, I would have got one of those myself, but Amazon UK Were out, not sure where you're based you may have luck!

It's widely available at all of my local GameStops and I can get $275 for trading in my regular model.

Savvy scalpers bought up the drive supply a month ago. Sony would be wise to trickle those out.<--------Here

Either try some of those Amazon ones and hope they work with the Pro or wait until they start making them specifically. The ones out now will probably be for the slim

If it fits the slim it fits the pro.

The main thing with the PS4 Pro for me wasn’t even the fan noise, that I eventually started to expect whenever I’d play something graphically intensive. What really tripped me up was the plastic quality that was used for the console, where it would always creak as it heated up, and did so again once it cooled down. Great console overall, but compared to my One X, which felt like a $500 product… Was rather cheaply made.

The PS4 Pro was a piece of shit for sure, i don't know why i bought the PS5 Pro, I should have known!

Well brother, I just found this on AliExpress:

...although there's no way in hell I'm spending 30+ for some cheap and untested Chinese plastic thingamajig...

That's what I've said. The graphically leap from PS4 to PS5 hasn't been as crazy (some outliers for sure) but the lack of fan noise? Load times? Its amazing. I can't even go back to some old crap over it.
