A six figure salary doesn't make someone rich. There are many people who are earning over $400K/year and are still essentially living pay check to pay check because they are retarded and just spend money as fast as it comes in. Yes they aren't struggling to put food on their table week to week, but one missed pay check and is kicks off a downward spiral all the same.
Once again a purchase a PS5 PRO…🤦♂️

Wrong! I've been told this doesn't happen by multiple podcasters. Get out of here with your fake news.

"Once again a purchase a PS5 PRO..."
Once again?
What does "a purchase a PS5 PRO" mean?
What's going on here? What's the meaning of all this?!

OP reminds me of the kids in highschool who would buy a console, sell it within a year and then buy it again the next year.
Strange behavior.

It's very easy to set up but you have to log in to all your accounts so the first setup is a bit exhausting. And you have to use an extension to see uninstalled Gamepass games. There has also been some ganes lacking boxart in the library, but they've made the process of searching for art super easy, needs a mouse though.
In the end it's a fairly small thirdparty app so it's very possible that it's not as safe as Steam or Xbox App.
The payoff from using it is that you see all your games on the same menu, no flicking between apps, almost no manual operations at all, and everything can be started with a controller.
It's by far the best for multi launcher acces from the couch. Steam is horrible for anything outside Steam, all manual, no art. Xbox App is more automated but you get super lowres boxart and you can only add Steam right now.
Been using it for a couple weeks now, there has been a couple times where I had to pull out a keyboard with touch pad to move a mouse pointer and click on a button. And you can't see achievements or your screenshots.
But all in all it's great. Definitely give it a try if you have a living room setup.

Launchbox is infinitely better than Playnite. Playnite is a hobbyist product with all of the jankiness that hobbyist products end up with. Launchbox is a commercial product that unifies everything on your PC - including emulators and ROMS should you want it.

It's not super weird if you buy it cheap and sell it with little loss. Sony only grants 1 year warranty so you always have warranty and a fresh controller.

Death stranding is amazing! Enjoy.
I personally cant wait for yotei.
If nothing major happens next year you can always sell it. If there's stuff that doesn't interest you.
But with the new returnal coming out....Just keep it!

Don't care, be like Asmongold, he has a pro and use his pc better than most of us, just look at his streamings.
I don't think that anyone here wants to be like him or are people in here who stream while their houses look like a shithole.

This is what happens when you have EXCLUSIVES.

I bought a Pro recently. I've got no games at all that are taking advantage of it.
But I know in the coming years there will be, and I'm going to be hanging on to console for quite some time; it's clear to me that the Pro is a very capable machine, and will be receiving games for a long, long time.
(hell, the PS4 is still getting games, and Sony is still producing it..!)

Yes, people who want to play them will buy the system and game. It doesn't mean they become primary console players though. Sony figured this out a few years back.
As I always said if price is a problem, ps5 is fine. But if it's not perfomance mode on pro can offer a decent IQ boost compared the base.

Maybe if you are poor ass. It's 2025. Thing is 700$. That's cheaper than the non pro iPhone… I agree they could do more with a pro but it's ok.
all those little jabs directed at you because you got a console to play games and don't want to wait a year or two (if at all). See why I've gone insane ?
I got ps4 in 2017 because I wanted to play some exclusives. It pulled me in because there were way more exclusives back then. Playing games back on my pc was usually some issue and people start calling you a peasant despite owning a pc.
Don't worry. Just play the game. This is all it is about.

Sell it again once you're done with DS2, then rebuy it once more when Gotei drops this fall.

Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, Wolverine, Saros, Intergalatic, Pragmata, etc....plenty of AAA games that wont be on PC for a few years. Congrats, you made the right choice.

Reading the thread title normally didn't make any sense to me.
But reading the thread title out loud, Super Mario style, is pretty funny.

I think ps5 pro is starting to look like fantastic value compared to the latest console releases.
If we are talking of price maybe. But honestly have an AI upscaler can be really worthy.
Especially looking at the price of the those Xbox Rog handhelds

Maybe they don't do a PS6 Pro next gen. You would wait 4-5 years into the lifecycle to find that out. Then what?

Looking by Sony current output.. I will have no problem whatsoever keeping my ps5pro for a long time ... GoY and DS2 are launching 5 years into the gen and both look like ps4 games. If cross gen between ps4 and ps5 is this bad... imagine with ps6.
Right now the only game that would push me to buy a Ps6 is Bloodborne Remake and even than I know I can wait 1 year since thats been my rule for new releases.
And than there's time and cost, I absolutely dont think Sony can launch a 2027/2028 console with a true generational update for less than the ps5pro. So if they launch a 27/28 cheap (499-599) Ps6 it will probably just be a "ps5pro+" and for sure the ps6pro will come down the road, if they choose to extend the gen through 2030, than things may change a bit.

The problem is, there is nothing better for it to compete with. It's PC or Pro for the best AAA experience.

Both new and used regular 5070ti/5080 will get cheaper.

So is it worth getting a ps5 pro?
I sold my ps5 disc launch and a few games for £300 a month before pro launched with the intention of buying one on release. But after playing my back log on pc and seeing initial impressions of the pro I never got one.
I have my pc connected to a 65 inch QD oled and bought a flydigi vader 4 pro controller and have been having such a good time. And I own over 1000 pc games, 80% of which I never played. Being able to play older games at 4k and add hdr with special k is amazing. New games run better than my old ps5 too.
So is pro worth it. I have 5800x3d and 4070ti 12GB for reference

Hey they have to save something for the PS6 or it'll be too samey. Pro are luxury versions with better GPUs bolted on meant for profits, not efficiency.

Only really worth it if you want to play the upcoming PS5 exclusives day one.
PS5 Pro is great. Pretty much any AAA game on PC comes to PS5 (without a multi year wait) and the games run great. Don't have to deal with any PC gaming issues either. Just plug it in, turn it on, and you're playing.
I do check out the Sony games, but stuff like KCD2, BG3, Yakuza8 and E33 run perfectly on the system.

5070ti would be just ok for me but no FE.
I will wait

Playnite blows away Launchbox if you're okay with putting in the work. There's no jankiness at all once you get it set up correctly.
But yeah Launchbox can be more plug-and-play.
