think of the good side, at least we playstation gamers has an additional option, unlike the other team

 

[TheInfamousKira]

What does it do?

Runs Super MEGA PS4 games.

 

[Flabagast]

such a letdown lmao.

 

[ReyBrujo]

Sony making margin on this….

 

[Dural]

The GPU is only 45% faster? The PS4 Pro at least had a GPU that was double the size and launched at $399. This is madness.

 

[dorkimoe]

Going full pc where prices are much higher

lol ok

with over a million more games. This isnt the first of the ps5, this is a refresh. Youre basically buying this for a 1-2 years until the ps6 is out lol

 

[SappYoda]

So we can already say that the next xbox and ps6 are going to cost 1k

ggs

 

[Midn1ght]

The PS4 Pro (with a disk drive) released at 399€

The PS5 Pro (without a disk drive) will release at 799€

 

[Zarak]

I was so hard till I saw the price and no disk drive included.

 

[recursive]

Did they say anything about an external drive option?

 

[tommib]

DAY NUMERO UNO. DEMON’S SOULS ON QUALITY MODE AT 60 FPS.

 

[onnextflix5]

Well this is what happens when u have no competition. ms must be thinking, we fucked up again, could have got a pro console out for $599 and lite version for $450. Someone please fire Phil, he has no clue.

 

[fudgybrownie]

Reduce it to 1tb and drop the price. Stop forcing people to pay for more storage. They just did what xbox did.

 

[Elios83]

The upgrades are what I wanted to see, ray tracing where it wasn't possible before, 60fps with big image quality improvements.
Price is really high, it's cheap gaming PC category, the era of powerful low priced consoles seems to be over.
But I'll get it as a christmas gift.

 

[Skifi28]

FF7R2 should have been allowed to release on a console that could run it without this €800 slap in the face - Series X.

How would near identical hardware have handled it any different?

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Wait so $700 doesn’t even get you a disc drive or a stand? What the fuck, Sony

 

[clarky]

Not a single new game revealed to give this reveal some gravitas. What a fucking anticlimax.

800 euros to play fucking Last of Us 2 at 60fps, whoop de doo. And no disc drive so you gotta buy that fucking thing seperately too at some point.

Ridiculous reveal. That was absolutely terrible.

Can't believe they tried to sell this thing with Last of us 2.

This is the biggest wet fart for a while.

 

[MrMephistoX]

I’m getting one and sacrificing my Series X to fund it lol.

 

[Kacho]

I have to imagine this is why Microsoft didn’t bother doing a mid gen refresh. The juice ain’t worth the squeeze.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Looks awesome, but I can live without it. Don't think I'll participate in any midgen upgrades. Plus my TV isn't the best for it anyway.
I'll probably just wait and get a new TV when I buy the PS6.

 

[peish]

Consoles will never be $399 again. It’s too expensive producing these advanced chips. I think cerny is taking a small loss on ps5 pro

 

[MadchesterManc]

I will probably stick standard /switch to PC too.
Already have a pretty OK PC with 6900XT and 8700k here, but somehow never really made the switch to PC completely ...
this is probably one of the bigger triggers for me
I just need GT7 in PC and it is a 100% done deal

To be honest I mainly play PC these days. Most times the PS5 just gathers dust as I find it disappointing, there's not much in the way of killer apps for it and stuff comes to PC anyway now. A weekly bash of GT7 is about the extent of its use and I'm really only keeping it around for Death stranding 2

 

[TintoConCasera]

They better show some cool as fuck exclusive at TGS.

 

[mitch1971]

and stand sold seperately!!

Fuck off Apple Sony!

 

[CosmicComet]

Extra for the disc drive??? Fuck off.

Waiting for at least a 100 buck sale before I even think about this.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Actually in disbelief a wee bit at the price haha wtf are they thinking

I love the fact that it's filtering out brokies.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

The sad part it will be totally sold-out for months. And I will be participating in this madness, sadly.

 

[NEbeast]

The people crying about price are the first to cry about sub 1080p and bad frame rates. Choose a lane.

 

[Kotaro]

No new games announced to go along with it?

Not even Bloodborne Remastered? why people even bother to upgrade if there's no new software to sell it with

 

[Rising_Hei]

This is nuts, the OG PS5 had much more VALUE in 2020.
To justify this price, the graphics cards should be based on the 7800 / 7900 GRE, not on the 7700 IMO.
I'm just happy I didn't wait for the PRO.

 

[March Climber]

I'm kinda relieved btw. I was afraid it was a almost necessary upgrade, but it's the easiest pass of my life.

The only necessary upgrade is when you see the 5 turn into a 6.

 

[MostlyPeaceful]

We have had a lot of inflation since 2020, especially chips

Uhhhhh…not 75% inflation lmfao

Of course you’re in here justifying that obscene price

 

[Esppiral]

This scam should crash harder than concord

 

[adamsapple]

 

[chilichote]

799€ without a drive? Nope^^

 

[Fahdis]

Lol wont be touching this with even a steel pole (my penor).

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Any preorder links for Amazon, Best Buy, Target etc?
don't like to preorder with Sony directly if I can avoid it

26th of September.

 

[mgcemir85]

Wtf 900 euros with disk drive??? I'll bet you, this black Friday, you'll be able to get a gaming laptop with those specs for that money. With a fucking vrr qhd screen, keyboard and fucking steam.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Fuck. Remember the good old days when technology used to go down in price over time?

 

[TintoConCasera]

No new games announced to go along with it?

Not even Bloodborne Remastered? why people even bother to upgrade if there's no new software to sell it with

There are already a few games that would benefit from a console upgrade, like Wukong or Space Marine 2.

But man, 800€? They went nuts.

 

[DanielG165]

I’m… Whelmed? Obviously it’ll be an upgrade from the standard console, but PC has spoiled me to having my cake and eating it too I guess lol. Still, for people who want more out of their PlayStation, this is the system for them.

As expected, like with the old Pro consoles last gen, most the upgrades are in the GPU, so genuine current gen games that run at 30fps now, will likely still run at 30fps on the PS5 Pro, with simply higher fidelity and resolution. Space Marine 2, for example, won’t run any higher in Quality mode, though performance mode may hopefully be more stable for PS players. GTA6, unless it has two different modes, expect it to run at 30fps on the Pro as well.

 

[ShirAhava]

The PS5 Pro is priced out of relevance for most people. Even if it isn't for me its a $800 PS4 game upconverter LMAO

 

[Doczu]

Almost 900 EUR with a seperate drive and ~950 if you want to buy a second controller.

No fucking thanks. I know this is a Pro console, but this thing will cost so much in my currency it's a hard pass for me. Gonna skip this generation then.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Inflation getting crazy!

It’s not that pricy
I guess for young people it is, always assumed the demographic here tho trended older…and prob working in tech, so it’s only a few days work tops. In terms of how much use a PlayStation gets it’s a bargain, even when comparing against other “I use it all the time” items like TVs, sofas, beds…a semi decent mattress is prob the only other thing that is price and constant daily use comparative.

 

[MrJangles]

Any early clues on which kind of pc gpu it might be comparable to?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

1. 1TB option
2. $599 / £549 and you have a deal.

But it's too late.

Arrogant Sony is back.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Well, it’s way too expensive, it seemingly has no flagship titles to get people to want to buy into it, so I’m thinking this won’t do very well, at least initially.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Uhhhhh…not 75% inflation lmfao

Of course you’re in here justifying that obscene price

Huh?

Its a better console than base ps5
