[hemo memo]

If this doesn’t convince people to move to PC I don’t know what will. PC became so easy to use even me with no technical knowledge can simply click and play.

 

[Tertullian]

Lmao at Sony cozying up to the FTC and convincing them that Microsoft is a big mean video game monopolist, then the very next year saying "fuck you, what else are you gonna buy?" and releasing the Wallet Raper 5000

 

[adamsapple]

Ok, I support developers though

Good for you.

Doesn't change what Senua said tho.

 

[Fabieter]

Moving to PC makes zero sense if cost is your issue

You get more for the money you spend. So no its not!

 

[navii]

Gotta make some money back from that concord flop eh Sony?

 

[The Chairman]

Looking at the comparison between the games running on PS5 and the pro in the announcement video....

 

[dottme]

But my issue with the presentation, they spent way too much time on showing game that run on PS4.
For a PS5 pro which is for enthusiasts, PS4 port to show off your power is dumb.
I assume that the PS5 pro can run a PS4 game better, but that’s not why I might want to buy it.

 

[Physiognomonics]

I think I speak for entire Sweden when I say:
Yeah, perhaps a new graphics card instead.

Yep, this must be Sony's plan all along. Buy a PC and give your money to Nvidia and Valve!

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Good for you.

Doesn't change what Senua said tho.

Ok cheaper on average, maybe $5-10 bucks, new pc is going to cost hundreds more bare minimum

That’s a lot of games you need to buy to make up the cost

 

[Sorcerer]

Almost justifiable if you waited this long to pick up a PS5. Games you never played will be that much better and it already has quite a library to choose from. Not so much if you already own one. Just make sure you don't bother with a base PS6 if you waited this long.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Hmm what should I do to earn $850 in 2 weeks...

I could give you some suggestions but they depend on your gender.

 

[Senua]

Ok, I support developers though

 

[Madjaba]

cheaper games?

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

You get more for the money you spend. So no its not!

No you don’t, you get less as it’s more expensive on a perf/cost basis

 

[Bojanglez]

Obviously it would be nice if it was cheaper (the same can be said for anything) but personally I'm willing to pay it. After my phone, my PS5 is the device I use use most regularly, so when the cost is amortised over the time played, it's justifiable for me.

 

[balls of snow]

At these price points I wouldn't worry about pre-ordering.

Thank god its not an iphone.


700 usd is capital P premium though. Doubt the userbase will reach even 15% of total ps5 sales.

 

[AmuroChan]

Just bought a disc drive before they sell out.

 

[LaFr]

I think they're really counting on GTA VI. If the hype is off the charts, it very well could help Sony sell boatloads of these even at that wild price.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Price is actually realistic . This is the price for the raw power of the GPU alone (approx rtx 4070 super) but this time you have also Sony super sampling and they’re the best non pc brand at that so it is what it is

Aren't they the only "non PC brand" at the moment?

 

[Gaiff]

No you don’t, you get less as it’s more expensive on a perf/cost basis

Gotta pay for that online too. $80/year over 3 years is already $240. This alone erases the extra cost of the PC.

The fact that we're even debating this is ridiculous. New consoles typically have a much much better value proposition than PCs. Pro seems to be comparable, if not worse. That's awful.

 

[Iced Arcade]

Lmfao what

 

[Hudo]

I think they're really counting on GTA VI. If the hype is off the charts, it very well could help Sony sell boatloads of these even at that wild price.

But isn't this kinda pathetic that they would need to rely on a third-party game that much? I find that a rather wonky strategy, tbh.

 

[Astray]

This price was obvious the moment Xbox released a $600 2TB Series X variant. They wouldn't have felt safe to do so if PS5 Pro was gonna match it in price.

Also watch this go out of stock as soon as the stock is made available. People don't realize how much money is still sloshing around in the console market.

Exactly gt7 is on PS4 runs at 60 fps
PS5 runs it at 4k 60 fps
Ur only selling point is some effects and raytracing for 800 euros ?
Also ratchet and clank is like 4 years old now
Why not actually show games that want the pro model
Like final fantasy dd2 etc

This is a nonissue. We will see more about the games in time. Besides, every game is mandated to support the PS5pro after a certain date. We were only shown games that were already released... in case you didn't notice. I expect every dev now showing their game on the PS5 will be showing the PS5pro version of the game.

 

[Certinty]

Likelihood of this flopping and/or not many third party devs caring much about the PS5 Pro version of games?

 

[fudgybrownie]

It might lost the ability to have an additional ssd.

Lol what

 

[Sw0pDiller]

Need some more comparison video’s die this price too stick in my head. Will sell my fat for 400. And then buy a 2tb pro version for 400 extra. A comparible pc costs easy 1300 euro. And that wont play my ps librairy

 

[Tomi]

Day one
Best console on market!

 

[Buggy Loop]

No you don’t, you get less as it’s more expensive on a perf/cost basis

His build smokes PS5 pro. He could downgrade it further to save money I'm not even kidding. A 12400F CPU would still be stronger.

PS5 Pro Officially Announced - Releasing Nov 7th - Price: $699

Source? Or just being edgy on the internet 😀 edit: lol no @veterangamerUK Im just laughing AT you. weak trolling. You carry on bent over there with your sore arse wide open taking it over and over

A no monthly fee to pay online. That adds up.

Yup.

NEVER in the history of Consoles has the price proposition for performance been as worse as PS5 pro. PS4 was already shaky, its getting worse.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Only an idiot would buy this ripoff of a console.

 

[Robot Carnival]

probably will get it later next year. I'm happy with my current setup so not in a hurry to upgrade. how big is the the default storage?

 

[Banjo64]

Moving to PC makes zero sense if cost is your issue

£700 Pro plus PS Plus annually for even just 4 years completely eclipses the price of a more performant PC. Plus you are immune to price hikes on online services and are not locked in to one ecosystem in terms of game price increases.

 

[Draugoth]

I will never get this but what i will get is a bunch of memes

 

[LimanimaPT]

800 euro? Good luck with that...

See? Another feature

 

[FalconPunch]

You get more for the money you spend. So no its not!

No you do not. Please stop this nonsense. You're not getting an equivalent pc for $699. The price is too expensive but this noise has got to stop.

 

[hussar16]

What an upgrade just to play upscaled ps4 games.where are the new gen games

 

[Fabieter]

No you don’t, you get less as it’s more expensive on a perf/cost basis

No you don't. You have way more games. Still play playstation games in a reasonable time frame. Mods. Don't have to pay for online.

It's 920 euro
+80 euro for plus every years let's say until 2028(end of generation)

That would put your budget to 1240 euro and that's before cheaper game prices.

Iam no PC master race. I like PC and consoles but this is nuts. Why are people defending it? Like wtf.

 

[justiceiro]

Those handheld PCs starting to look like a sweet deal right now, I bet.

 

[DryvBy]

If this doesn’t convince people to move to PC I don’t know what will. PC became so easy to use even me with no technical knowledge can simply click and play.

To match this, PC is pretty much double the cost. PC prices are more ridiculous without any possibility of physical media.

Don't try to link to some moron build on YouTube either because I'm not unfamiliar with PC gaming. Here's proof:

[Akuji]

Mouse/KB are hella cheap if you don't go for known brands, definitely cheaper than even the vertical stand for PS5, and obviously you get way more accuracy, and way less input latency

all fine to say opinions / alternatives. but playstations controllers were always extremly good when it comes to latency.

 

[justiceiro]

Delayed to mid 2026

 

[Danjin44]

And this suppose to be premium product?

 

[iAmAtomic]

Seriously, what are they thinking with that price? Sony themselves said that 3/4 of players prefer the performance mode, which usually doesn’t include ray tracing. Instead of increasing the power and offering PSSR as an additional feature, they just had to include ray tracing. For me, the console is off the table. I'm not paying 900€ for such a small upgrade.

 

[AyraSutoraifu]

If this doesn’t convince people to move to PC I don’t know what will. PC became so easy to use even me with no technical knowledge can simply click and play.

No. There is still the PS5.

 

[Fabieter]

Lol what

It was a joke but with this announcement you never know.

No you do not. Please stop this nonsense. You're not getting an equivalent pc for $699. The price is too expensive but this noise has got to stop.

For most console people i know console gaming means physical gaming. That means its 920 euro plus 80 euro for ps plus. Which puts it above 1200 euro. You can totally get a conparebale rig for that kinda money.

 

[Senua]

No you don't. You have way more games. Still play playstation games in a reasonable time frame. Mods. Don't have to pay for online.
