Wait for black Friday. It might get a bit lower. Or put the money towards a PC instead.

Yeah. I don’t get the 2TB SSD. I have an additional SSD already. They could’ve taken 50 bucks out of the price.

What price was people expecting? $550-$600?
699€ for EU. 599$ for US.

I'm curious about Bloodborne on PS5 Pro now, with game boost
15% less stutter for 50% higher price, best deal ever

I mean the fuck did the Europeans do to Sony
Wtf is that conversion
800 euros without a disc drive is pure insanity

But they also leave the exclusives space. Rebirth is probably ported as we speak and we know gta vi will also be on pc.

They have consoles to sell you already, at that price. If you are price conscience at the higher-cost Pro console, you are literally not their target market.1. 1TB option
2. $599 / £549 and you have a deal.
But it's too late.
Arrogant Sony is back.

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said I believe it cost sony more today to make a PS5 Slim. What I am saying however, is that when you factor in inflation, and chip prices that have jumped, they are not seeing cost reductions anywhere as fast as they typically see them And this is reflected in the fact they have not just not dropped prices, but increased them.
You can dispute this all you want, but there is more evidence to support what I am saying, than any of what you are saying
Sony is seeing that and is probably smiling. 15-20% is what they would expect the Pro to sell. I mean the PS4pro sold in at only about 20%... and that thing cost $399. If they can pull off 15% buying the PS5pro at $700?
Then I truly fear what the PS6 would cost.

Has technology completely stagnated? If not, how can 45% more GPU compute cost 75% more 4 years later? Yeah, there's a little more RT power and some AI silicon too I guess, but still. The same price as the PS5 originally was I'd understand. This is nuts.

It might lost the ability to have an additional ssd.

...700 dollars is like under 650 euro.

How many of you would have rather had a 1TB SSD with a $599 price point? 2TB is probably bumping up the price a bit.

$700 for a console that's not much more powerful than a Series X....Nice.
Ouch. I was interested in it but digital only bleh.

The money is 100% going towards a 5090 and a new sound system.

I hated PS4 Pro at the beginning, but finally i ate my words and bought one because of 4K....But this, 700$ for "better" raytracing, which even wasnt noticeable on the games they showed....and 60 fps on PS4 games like TLOU 2...and without disc drive? HAHAHAHAHAHA Go to hell Sony! I´ll stick with my regular PS5 and upgrade my PC! Also i´m glad to see more people making sense on this thread than day 1 snobbish idiots...

DD2 bottleneck is on the CPU.

Agreed. He started with the whole stupid thing though.
I am as shocked as anyone here at the price, but that's on me. I knew everything that could go into making it more expensive, and there were posters here that even pointed those things out... I just didn't take any of that seriously. But all the signs have really been there.
I mean, we are about to see a 2TB XBXfor $600 for crying out loud....

Considering how easy it is to upgrade ones SSD capacity, if a 1TB model truly could put the Pro at the $599 range, it would have been a great move. In saying that, I don't believe it would have lowered production cost enough, for that price point.

It’s actually far to expensive imo and that’s without a disc drive

Some might call that paranoia, but I concur.

Depends where you live, some countries have only 17% VAT while others up to 25%. 150 is 19% of 800.

DD2 will run at 60 fps on this. It has an unlocked mode, right?

Just saw the presentation, 100€ more than I would like, but fuck it, still 3 to 4 years left in this gen, might as well upgrade now. I'm pre-ordering when available.

No disc drive

Ur fucking Europeans in the ass at least provide a stand so they can be standing while getting fucked

£700 in the UK and no disc drive which will probably be another £100 on top. That's gaming PC price at that point. I would have to sell my PS5, Series X and Switch OLED to afford that and that's not going to happen. I might have considered it if it was £700 with the disc drive as it is 2TB but that's insane.

I missed the other users post calling someone stupid, so my apologies for singling you out. About the Xbox price, I don't expect many people to buy that model either.

None of the things you keep bringing up add up to a $699 PS5 Pro though
Chip prices have applied for everyone in the industry…yet consoles are the one thing who’s prices have stagnated in the last 4 years.
We’re talking about tech from FOUR YEARS AGO that is more expensive to buy FOUR YEARS LATER
There is nothing else, and I mean nothing else, that came out 4 years ago technology wise that costs more to buy today than it did 4 years ago.
RTX 3090 came out 4 years ago
You think RTX 3090 costs more to buy today than it did in 2020/2021?

Honestly based on how I play, I'm really content with my Legion Go. I do need a PS5 mostly because I have a decent PS4 digital library so yeah, if I can nab a slim on sale for BF that's probably the way I go.Wait for black Friday. It might get a bit lower. Or put the money towards a PC instead.
As even more evidence of where I am nowadays, I just got an Analogue Pocket and loaded it up with GBA roms( even nabbed a Castlevania COTM cart off FB marketplace for $15). The industry is driving me towards the past and if I want to keep current, I love the PC handheld. Hopefully Nintendo will deliver with Switch 2, but what Sony and MS have done this gen?! Bleh.

It will be sold-out for months regardless of opinion at X. 16.4% of PS5 userbase is more than enough to justify the PS5 Pro.

Not to mention that the market and the value of things is not that simple, people will pay the extra price of inflation on food because they have no other choice.
But on luxury items like a video game console, people have an idea of how much they are willing to spend and it is the companies that have to adapt to that budget and not the other way around.
