Support NeoGAF

[Mortisfacio]

No. I've been PC only this gen and haven't been given a reason to also get a console.

 

[Tiamat2san]

I don’t know, they need to show me real benefits in games and new exciting games.
So for now, i’d say no.
The price is fucking terrible , 920€ with a disc drive.

 

[Osthyvel]

Money is not a issue for me, but no way, i always upgrade things like this day1, but no, this will maybe not flopp like Concord, but it will flopp.

Nintendo has such a chance here, with a good pricing the new switch will sell tons and tons of units!

 

[Senua]

I am 57 and can't take it with me

I bet you have a 4090 too

 

[Krathoon]

I am sticking with the regular PS5. It is not a huge improvement and it costs too much.

 

[Elios83]

Yes because I will extensively use it for 4 years and it will be the best place to play games on a console. It's expensive and for enthusiasts but I've also bought a S24Ultra for 1400€ last February so

 

[ahtlas7]

Did they give a compelling reason to do so?

 

[Mownoc]

It's only 100$ more than a 2TB Series X..

Put in that context it's worth it. But outside of that framing it looks bad lol.

 

[Markio128]

I would have been day-1 at £599. Now I’m thinking that I’ll just wait for the appropriate amount of discount first.

 

[Xtib81]

I was 200% convinced I would be there day one but with that Price tag, I'm now considering moving to PC and get a 4070ti or something similar even though it's more expensive. I need to see the pro in action because what they've shown hasn't been convincing.

 

[MayauMiao]

No, huge pass. I'll save up for Switch 2/Pro instead and upgrade PC.

 

[Krathoon]

The lack of the disc drive is a deal breaker. They are wanting everything to be digital.

 

[Balducci30]

The no disc drive thing doesn’t bother me at all, only buy digitally but theres no software that takes advantage of this console, IDGAF about 60fps. If they show a game that looks dramatically better than it does on Ps5 I’d consider it. But as of now I see no point. Might as well just start building a PC at this rate

 

[scarlet0pimp]

Was looking to get a new graphics card too, need to upgrade the 3060ti. So don't think I can justify the pro and the card need to think about it.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I bet you have a 4090 too

A 4090 as in one PC with a 4090?

 

[CobraAB]

I am totally stunned how this poll is going.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

No

I don’t think the PS5 Pro is regarded by Sony as a Switch 2 competitor

 

[Euler007]

Already added the preorder date to my work calendar. The only question is do I put a 2 or 4TB SSD in there.

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

I'll buy it, idk if I can secure one at launch though, I'm not about to start the scalpers game again.

 

[SyberWolf]

i think i probably wont buy a console anymore.
if it was the US price in EU i might get it, but 881 usd in europe is a little too much tbh.
curious if Xbox can do better.

 

[Aion002]

Nope. Never.

Too expensive for me, plus no disc drive... I am happy with my ps5 casual disc drive edition.

 

[Monkfish877]

What a ripoff!!! Take my advice, don't waste your hard earned money on this, Sony hasn't released a single game yet that utilises the full power of the base ps5 yet, what makes you think they will for the ps5 pro?. As we saw in the video, the games look pretty much same to me across both of the systems, not a chance in hell I'll be suckered into buying this thing, what a waste of money.

 

[Senua]

A 4090 as in one PC with a 4090?

 

[Schnauzer]

I'm going PC and Nintendo from now on. With more games coming to the PC. I'm just going to use my Xbox and PlayStation money for PC gaming. Mobile devices like the Steam Deck made the PC side even better.

 

[danklord]

Trade in value on my digital PS5 is about 300 -350, it really isn't that crazy.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I am 57 years old and retired 24 years ago, I have pocket change to spend on toys

 

[rotorfire]

I was pretty firmly on the bandwagon, figuring the price would be 600eur low end, 700eur high end. 800euro, without a disc drive, leaves me flabbergasted. I don't think I've even used that word before. Reminds me of the PS3 launch.

 

[Nankatsu]

Never in my mind it crossed they would target this 800 € in europe. If you had a disk tray to the mix, where I'm from it scales the price to 919 €.

It's absolutely insane what they're trying to do here.

If I managed to grab a promo bundle somewhere down the road, I'll probably binge it, otherwise...

 

[Bond007]

I was 100%
But I think they sort of failed this diehard.

I will preorder and decide as we get closer and learn more. I probably will- but buying a digital console does not sit well with me, combined with that price. Ultimately its not about the price for me but its hard to justify the combination of the two if that makes sense.

 

[Codes 208]

Whatever happened to just simple yes or no?
My answer doesnt need context dammit

Also no

 

[adamsapple]

On a related note, I am looking to get adopted.

 

[Ronin_7]

Buying Day 1 but it's kinda expensive for most.

 

[Blueghost]

They took that decision for me with that price tag, a very easy no

 

[King Dazzar]

Who am I kidding, yes. But I'm aware that I'm being corporately rogered in doing so. I can even feel Sony spreading my bum cheeks as we speak.

 

[DenchDeckard]

800 uk pounds with a disk drive is insane. I'm out

 

[Eimran]

Fuck that. Been gaming for 25 years but I'm not paying for a midgen 800 console with no disk drives and a pisspoor library of first party titles.

I'm not gonna bail them out their financial disaster with Concord. They can go fuck themselves.

Said it million times before. The worst world for gamers is Sony without competition.

 

[Midn1ght]

This isn't even Arrogant Sony's final form.

They could raise PS+ price by December...

 

[Kacho]

The PS5 is officially the first PlayStation console I skip.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Most people work until 65 and don’t have anything saved up by retirement sadly so I can understand the common person’s plight…

 

[Robb]

I was convinced I was getting one until I saw the pricing.. I think it’ll be, like, $950+ where I live.

Might just get the base model instead during the holidays. All I really want to play is AstroBot. But then again, I really really really want to play AstroBot.

 

[ManaByte]

They could raise PS+ price by December...

December? LOL try November.

 

[RoadHazard]

Before the presentation I was 90% yes, now I'm 90% no. Just don't see it being worth all that money for such a minor overall improvement.

 

[Codeblew]

Will be a great addition to my new 65 inch Bravia 9 that I plan on buying.

 

[RoboFu]

nah ill stick with my blurry background trees thanks.

You don't need a Pro for that, it looks amazing and runs perfectly on PS5 Amateur.

 

[Ceadeus]

Oh no, the original was difficult enough to get. Also the thing is simply not interesting enough.

Imo, the announcement would have been more interesting by announcing surprise titles. A brand new, refreshed UI featuring one or two innovation.

Here it's just, hey here's the stronger PS5, you'll play Ratchet at higher framerate,bye. 700$

That was dry af

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Without a doubt I have several family members around my age that have zero plans for retirement and living paycheck to paycheck as do MANY people

 

[Banjo64]

No. In fact I can’t think of a bigger slap in the face to their fans ever. I am already out of the ecosystem, and will only jump back in when they seriously crash and burn and reevaluate their position in the market.

So deluded and out of touch it’s funny.

 

[Robb]

Yeah, I know. The Pro was more of a “might as well wait and see what it is” kind of deal for me anyway since I don’t own a regular Ps5 at the moment.
