True, but have you had a look at the deals going on over in PC land? And how low these prices go?

Well... i'm wealthy to, and thats mostly because i made some good choises.
Today i choose to dust of my Ps3 again, so much gems to that console.
Sony makes me go backwards with their choises.
Each to his own etc...

I've noticed most of the recent game sales are similar in pricing. While PC has a huge range of cheaper games less than 5 dollars, these are also much older games.

For $800, it’s not worth it at all for me. Technically speaking, the console is also underwhelming.

Of course, people complaining can be poor somewhere else. Still cheaper than a PC with similar performance.

And bundles as well. I copped the entire RE series through Village for 30$ on humble.

Of course I’m fucking not. I have a good gaming laptop, and this stupid fucking thing has zero games to justify its existence or idiotic price point.

That alone makes it not worth it to me. Plus you add in the price and it's quite easy to ignore this thing.

Owned every single Playstation console but won't be buying this.

The absurd pricing means it's an easy pass from me. I will wait it out for the PS6 at this point.

Yeah, willing to get an import version too if the console is delayed in my country. However, games are what matters so gonna need to see that list of 50 games being prep for the pro.

It's very expensive but if the TIV holds then my girl's OG Digital will trade for $360 or above so $350-400 after trade in. I'll give her my slim.
It's basically like if I had to buy a new PS5 but cheaper.

Wait until the Playstation 6 is out that will be over $1000....And WHO is Sony going up against here with this 1.1 edition of the Playstation, Microsoft aren't in the game, and Nintendo is sticking to its own guns when it comes to horsepower...is there a pent up demand for a PS5 Pro...is Konami releasing a Metal Gear 6 exclusive for the Pro like what MGS4 was for the PS3? No they are not...so it doesn't have much of a compelling case..

Cringe poll options, I voted the equivalent to No. I don't use my PS5 enough to really warrant to spend the money on a Pro. I usually use my PC to game nowadays and I don't couch game enough either. Also I have a laptop gaming PC if I want to do some couch gaming and it does really well for being a laptop.
There's so many things going against the PS5 Pro that I can't see myself getting it just to have a more powerful PS5. Also a lot of the games I want to play are coming to PC anyway. So, kind of a wash for me.

Never said PC was cheap.
I've just had more use for PC than I do for a PS5 Pro, especially since it doesn't include a drive? I've mainly used PS5 for movies and co-op couch games with friends but as we're getting older that just isn't a priority anymore.
I don't think that's an uncommon situation. Tough concept to grasp, I know.

I really think that $700 price point is encroaching on PC pricing. It just doesn’t make sense to buy a Pro at that price, when you can build or have a pc built for a few hundred more.
I was dreading the price reveal, knowing if it was $500, I’d likely jump on it, despite my reservations. But $700 without a disk drive or a horizontal stand, which is how my PS5 is stored, that’s just ridiculous. It’s not a matter of not having the money. I just can’t support a mid-gen refresh with its limited updated specs and the unwanted storage space, at the price. It’s a vote with my wallet.

But you are forced to what options devs choose for you, on PC you can choose whatever performance/iq profile you want. Plus cheaper games and free online.
Answering OP - for this kind of money? They can go fuck themselves and this 2019 piece of shit CPU they are using.

Was going to jump in on launch but definitely waiting to see how it pans out first. $960 Canadian for digital only is wild.

That’s all fine and dandy but why the hyperbole and outrage?
“They can fuck off” meanwhile you’re primarily a PC gamer. As if you were ever going to get this anyways?

I'll get one eventually or if they are readily avilable but I'm not exactly going to be clawing for one at launch like I did a ps5.
The problem being I have no idea what Sony is planning on releasing 6 months from now. What is getting me hyped on the possibility of playing it with all bells and whistles enabled?

People need to stop bringing the "inflation" argument, we're talking about electronics, not food, or housing.
Also, keep in mind TSMC isn't the only provider of microchip wafers.
Nintendo plans to use Samsung for Switch 2.

I mean the poll might be right....
But Tom Warren, really???
The guy who told people Series S would compete with PS5??
Might as well post Jez Corden to get the opinion of another Xbot salty because his beloved brand is now irrelevant

Can I just take a moment to say switching to PC first gaming is an amazing and liberating feeling. Worth the upfront investment and I get to play a good majority of the games getting released if I want them (I mostly never buy newly released AAA games but I can). There is only one thing left for me to care about Sony and it's a remote possible thing at this moment.
My ps5 went from my first place to play to now general media player for one of my tvs.
But that's not the only reason I am holding on to it. The device serves for one thing and each year that passes, it grows more and more unlikely.... it's sole purpose of existing for me is as the Bloodborne 2 machine.
I will say this. I have few consumer weaknesses and that fucking IP is one of them. I do not gives a rats ass about the rest of their console exclusives. I bought a PS4 for Bloodborne 1 and fucked with other games since my PC then was dogshit for games made 2010. And now I am holding out hope we will see BB 2 by the end of PS5 life cycle. I will not get a pro though for it and my current pc is better. Fuck the price as well. And if it spans into the PS6 era, well... hoping that shit is cross gen or Sony smarts up to the PC market. Not hopeful for either scenario happening.

So what happens if Steam releases a Steambox at the same price but with free online play and the full Steam library?

Yes i will buy but only after the inevitable price drops.
This thing is more than 1000$ in my country with a disc drive.
This thing will not even move 1 million units at this price. it will drop fast.im really certain in it. if not i sit it out. i can easily afford it but its objectively not worth it. i jumped from pc gaming back to sony for this? i had a 4070ti pc and a rx 7900xt pc but i was just sick of pc gaming. but 920€ for a console is insane even if it would have 100% more gpu power.
45% more gpu Power is not good for that price especially on a console. Remember the Ps4 Pro gave us over 100% more gpu Power for the same price as the launch ps4!
I dont care if pssr is in it even if i think it will be good an dpush the 45% to around 80% and even 100% with RT but still. raw power is always better.
Sony is simply testing the waters, xbox is no competition anymore. sony is literally the Nvidia of consoles. and if people will buy that pro say good bye to affordable good value consoles from Ps6 on. if the cfonsumer fucks now up, its over with good value. Sonys marge is over 100% on this console, for comparison nvidia gaming gpus marge is 60-70% that should tell you everything you need to know.
