Obviously we all know that the PS5 Pro is designed for wealthy professionals.

BUT, there's nothing technically stopping indigent amateurs from getting their hands on the Ps5 Pro, too.

How?

From what I've heard on the streets, paupers can now convert government issued food-stamps into cash.
And even other unspeakable methods could be done for a quick buck, as well.

So, GAF, where do you stand? Are you buying the PS5 Pro as an amateur or professional?

 

[Guilty_AI]

I'm stealing it

 

[GermanZepp]

 

[dreamstation]

I'm a professional amateur

 

[ReBurn]

I'm a total amateur but everything will change once I buy this

 

[adamsapple]

 

[Danjin44]

Zero interest in Pro and zero interest being “pro gamer”.

Gaming is just a hobby, nothing more.

 

[Markio128]

 

[lh032]

not sure what you mean by professional.

I dont play GaaS or COD, but i buy ALOT of games, mostly single player, i guess im professional?

you can't do that, it's illegal

 

[Quantum253]

You ain't Pro, Bro??? There's a system for that, it's called PS4

 

[MALpractice311]

Considering I still don't understand what benefits the PS5 Pro is going to provide me, I guess I must be an amateur.

Better image quality and performance.

 

[ithilion]

i have the peasant model so maybe a pro down the line

 

[VolticArchangel]

Aww yeah, I'm in the professional camp, for sure.

Beat that amateur shit, with the Pro rizz.

 

[{insert code here}]

Got my onlyfans ready to go

 

[MALpractice311]

Better image quality and performance.

Which games? Will it require devs to manually make patches like the PS4 Pro? Because that happened in very few instances, even with Sony first party games (looking at you Bloodborne and Gravity Rush 2). That's my primary question that has yet to be answered.

 

[K' Dash]

dude, stop making these kind of threads and leave some pussy for the rest of us

 

[nightmare-slain]

I have a gaming PC for performance. I can’t think of any good exclusives for PS5. I have a PS5 slim and right now it’s just a Netflix/YouTube machine. The only game I can see myself playing on it is GTA 6 whenever it’s out. I should’ve held off a while to buy one.

 

[reinking]

 

[Sooner]

Professional simply means someone pays you to do something. Seeing as the PS5 Pro will cost money, I have to assume most of the people getting it are pros.

The rest are thieves or leaches.

 

[rm082e]

Does the PS5 Pro retroactively make my PS5 a PS5 Scrub?

Can someone tell me how to vote lol? I don’t see an option. Thanks

May be that you can't since you are a new member. Get some posts under your belt and it will show up eventually.

But....don't spam the forum. lol

I don't know what this thread means. $500-600 US isn't that much money to a single person, even if you are making crappy money. My only hobby is gaming, so it's not that hard to just buy anything I want after saving for 2-3 months. I'm not anywhere close to well off.

I hope you're kidding. If not, screw this world.

I’ll definitely be a Concord Pro player with the Ps5 Pro.

If you cannot afford $600.00 for something at LEAST once or twice a year, I'd say you are doing something BAD WRONG.

10/10 thread OP, and definitely not something that sounded better in your head, before you actually posted it.

Not to derail, but people drug users in my state figured out that you can use your food stamps to buy bottled water for $0.25 per bottle - which includes a $0.10 deposit. So - buy 100 bottles of water for $25 with food stamps, dump them down the drain, then turn in the bottles for $10 cash. Some people here turn this into basically a full-time job, just dumping water down the drain and working the bottle recycling machines.

But why buy drugs when you could save up for a PlayStation 5 Pro©?

Saw that first hand in downtown Portland. Pissed me off, since it was super hot and it was a huge waste of water. Not the worst thing I've seen, but reminded me how rundown cities have become due to drug users and/or homeless people.

What's professional? early adopters who figure to solve every technical issues and get tiny rewards for that like 5 games a year at max? cause they sound like the least rewarded gamers to me.

It's just people who wear a necktie while gaming. An ascot is also permissible.

The console will be professionally used while working from home.

 

[unlurkified]

Whenever threads like these pop up, I’m highly skeptical that they are the product of a sober mind.

 

[SHA]

I think rich people, at least their mindset, think long term, the base model is the best choice for them especially when there are a lot of great games at that period of time which is hard for many to pull the trigger and make the decision or buy more games, it's hardly the same case with pro, it doesn't matter how much they spend on things, they don't change their mindset.

 

[consoul]

Gotta get that Proformance.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

ps6 will release in 2027-2028 and the only game i'd want a pro with just got delayed to 2026, so at that point it's looking like the smart choise would be to buy the ps6 version of gta6

 

[Hohenheim]

A whole bunch of console peasants are about to turn into professional console peasants! What a time to be alive!

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Why didn't you make the poll public, West? There are 16 dirty little peasants who we need to stop.

This thread reads like how I think when I was drunk.

In 1999.

When thinking of future tech and it's wondrous .5 iterations, and freaking out about Y2K.

I'm getting one as I don't have a PS5 yet, so I might as well wait for this.

 

[alb@tros]

I’m not a pro but I love good graphics and play games with the best settings. That’s why I’m getting the pro. But my goal it’s to built a high end gaming PC on day.

 

[buenoblue]

Pro day one. Hopefully get a good chunk for my old PS5 towards it.

Most games lately have looked pretty bad on my 65 inch OLED that I sit 6 feet from so the added Picture quality is needed for me.

I will say after playing astrobot all weekend PS5 games can still look great if you design the game within the limitations of the PS5.

But putting raytracing in a game then running it at 720p and upscaling up the wazoo ain't it
