2TB ssd’s are like 250 euro’s such a deal

 

[ComputerBlue]

That price, no disc drive, vertical stand sold separately fuck no I won’t buy, in fact I hope it sells poorly, Sony trying to be Apple with their pricing.

PS6 to be sold without a disc drive, stand, power and charging cables for $899 at this rate.

 

[Corian33]

No, because I feel like I’ve still only seen a handful of games even use the potential of the PS5. What’s the point when developers are still mostly making games that cross over from PS4/XBOX Series S to the newer consoles?

 

[GymWolf]

I had to work during the presentation, can someone give me a recap?

I'm reading 700 euros for a shit ass upgrade and not even the disc driver included? Is it true?

 

[SJRB]

If you're trying to sell me on a console that's gonna cost me 800 euros PLUS 100 euros for a disc drive you gotta do better than show a FOUR YEAR OLD GAME to make your point.

Disastrous reveal.

 

[Kupfer]

800€ + 100€ to play games made for last gen in a slightly better looking way ?

 

[Madserb2023]

I would have if it was £700 with the disc drive. Having to buy the disc drive on top really breaks it for me. That would probably have cost Sony £20 to have included it. They are trying to recoup theirs losses from Concord lol

[PatientGamer]

This system is going to sell Concord numbers, mark my words & they will be forced to release either a 1TB version or reduce the price lol.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Hell nah. PC is just so much better than both. Glad I graduated from consoles.

 

[Leviathicus]

The only game that can sell me that console is GTA VI. For now Im sticking with my OG PS5.

800

 

[Radical_3d]

I find the EU price too insulting.

 

[_Ex_]

So if I want a PS5 Pro with a disc drive, I'm looking at well over $800 after tax.

Spoiler

 

[GymWolf]

800

Ok...what about the performance uplift?

 

[Tanus777]

I prefer to buy two switch 2 and some games for that price.

 

[Outlier]

Nope, but I was never going to, anyway.

Too busy with my PC games and more PS5 games will go to PC, down the line.

Only excuse for PS5 use now, is VR.

basically enough power to run games at 4K60 in fidelity mode because of the faster GPU and their own version of FSR upscaling. and a 2TB internal SSD.

 

[Matsuchezz]

It's funny how all those gamepass and steam supporters which have no physical games on their console PC, are complaining about the PRO is all Digital and a reason not to buy the console when from the get go they weren't planning to.
You can't make this shit up.

 

[Krathoon]

Yep. People are not liking it.

 

[Kazdi]

920€ with disc drive is simply insane.

 

[Arioco]

No way I'm paying 920 euros for that console. 45% more powerful and 2X the price? No, thanks.

 

[MadchesterManc]

The standard PS5 is barely worth the money, let alone the Pro

 

[sncvsrtoip]

I will sell my ps5 and buy it but for this price cpu should be much faster, its not a good deal at all

 

[Hudo]

It's funny how all those gamepass and steam supporters which have no physical games on their console PC, are complaining about the PRO is all Digital.

Who do you mean?

 

[Synless]

Yes, if you want to play the best versions of games coming out why wouldn’t you buy it?

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Yeah, this price gives me significant pause. What I can see maybe happening is that Sony is trying to sell as many as possible at $700, then when GTAVI comes out I can see them dropping the price to $600 (maybe even $500) and heavily promoting it as the best console to play GTAVI.

 

[jm89]

Yes.

But maybe not at launch.

 

[LukeAJN]

If it came with a stand and disk drive I would have got it, as it is I’ll just put this money towards my 5090 fund, which is a far better investment

 

[DeepEnigma]

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

You can't make this shit up.

It's funny how you don't understand that on pc you can buy legal keys with 20 to 40 euros discounts on games while on console you have to pay full price so it's not even remotely the same thing...

Yeah you really can't make this shit up

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

$600 w/ disc drive would have been tempting.

$800 w/ disc drive is a huge middle finger from Sony to their fans.

Happy to keep on with my PC gaming rig and assorted retro consoles.

 

[Kagero]

That presentation didn't sell me on it.

Goes back and plays Wukong......Yeah I'm getting the pro

 

[AmuroChan]

Yes. I've been wanting to get a second PS5 for my house anyway.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Changed my vote from Sony screw themselves to take my money after reading about the FF7 Rebirth Pro version.

 

[Matsuchezz]

It's funny how you don't understand that on pc you can buy legal keys with 20 to 40 euros discounts on games while on console you have to pay full price so it's not even remotely the same thing...

You think that all the people on pc buy games at full price in digital? Think again.

I can understand that, I know they can, so that is why specifically mentioned steam supporters, I didn't not generalize or said PC gamers.
Looking at the poll results there are a ton of Xbox gamepass supporters thar are ok with gamepass and Series S being all digital and at that series S being the best selling console of the series family.
People can or can't buy the pro for whatever reason. I will buy it. I still think it's funny some people are dismissing it because it's all digital.

 

[NeonDelta]

I can afford it and have the money but not sure i can justify it. Maybe that will change when DS2 and GTA 6 come out but I think I will pass for now

 

[RAL1992]

The Last of Us ultra remaster for launch joke of a price point for a minimal upgrade, hopefully it falls flat on its arse and Sony realise it's not acceptable.

Started with the pricing of the new buds and headset.

 

[Leviathicus]

ill play it on ps5 slim then instead of wasting money on a PS5 Pro ill just buy the game again on PC and get even better graphics and performance.

That's fair. If I can avoid playing something on PC I do it, so eventually I'm going to upgrade to a pro model to get better performance. But not on day one.

 

[//DEVIL//]

I’ll say this from the warmest deepest place of my heart.


Shove it

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Yup…will replace my ps5’s.

Spoiler alert…some cheap ps5’s will be hitting the Neogaf marketplace this weekend.

“Alms for the Xbox players”

Yeah you really can't make this shit up

100% this. For example where I'm from I can grab 3 physical games at launch for the price of two. Plus the two priced games also have 15% discount on their price if it's a pre-order.

Where in the hell can I get a similar deal on PS5 Pro if I don't buy the disk tray?

It's a really bad decision and price imo.

 

[Shifty1897]

No Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, or FF 16 updates?
Fuck off.

Sure, but I think that the majority of steam users buy external keys and only buy from steam when they are unsure about the game and they can use the 2 hours refund policy, it's a more common thing than you think.

 

[Fess]

Only if future games start looking like crap on PS5 or run at 30fps and PC versions gets longer delays. Don’t really know what game I would need a Pro for right now. I’m playing Astro Bot at the moment and it runs flawlessly and looks fantastic on launch PS5.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Ok...what about the performance uplift?

You can play Last of Us Part 2 at 60fps.

 

[Atrus]

It’s not a big enough leap to justify the price. I’ll ride it out to PS6 in 4 years.

 

[twilo99]

Concord?

I thought you meant hardware.. they almost never make hardware mistakes

 

[Matsuchezz]

Well that is another subject. I just looked at the poll results and I see users there that a lot of gaffers know what their preferences are and the results make sense, then again it's just a poll here at gaff which means nothing in the real world.
