Here is my serious answer....no i see no rush in to buy a Pro, i did that a long time ago. I was always buying the newest hardware day one.
I will be playing on my PS5 for the coming years. I am not a guy anymore that is running to the newest hardware like a tech junkie. That time is long gone.
Exactly, what if the Ps6 released on 2026 but effectively a 2028 console? Shuhei Yoshida knows when to upgrade his console, he's not an ordinary old person who don't know what he's doing.
 
I think that if anything they will announce a preorder date and the date the console releases.

No I'm not preordering one. There's nothing on it that I want to play and most of the games release on PC. I'd rather save the money and buy a new graphics card next year.
 
Need to see that EU price first, lol.

Thick, something tells me that it's gonna be 650 for the "deluxe" aka "disc version" over our side of the pond...

The problem for me - like many of us in here - is going to be the availability, not because I need to grab it as soon as possible but because I'm going to have to trade in my OG PS5 to GameStop since I have absolutely no use for 2 consoles (I'm the only one gaming in my household).

Something tells me that it's going to have the same supply problems as always, I mean, heck, it was hard to grab a PS Portal for the first 3+ months (and that was supposedly a console no one wanted) so...

Yeah, if this is $700 for example I can see buying a graphics card with it - the rest would be more or less double? Then you just hook it up to TV, Steam Big Picture mode and you are G2G.

I'm still salty every time you start Diablo 4 they try to sell you PS+ sub, nothing like that ofc on the Steam version.
 
I don't think preorders will go live today, but yes. I'm going to buy it. I held off playing some games to be able to play them in real 4K/60 fps
 
Chances of a limited edition PS5 Pro for the 30 year anniversary? I wonder if it would gonna be PS Direct exclusive, and in that case, I might preorder it there, otherwise I'll preorder on Amazon as soon as it's available.
 
PS3 native emulation/bc is the only thing that could get me to day one this thing
 
Nope. In Brazil it will probably cost more than a thousand dollars at launch.

Nope. Since most Sony games come to PC now i dont need one anymore. Will finish the last DLC for Final Fantasy 16 and MAYBE play AstroBot and then sell my PS5. Even the PS5 Pro will shit the bed against my 7800X3D + 4090 :(
 
I don't think so but will need to see it first. PC + base PS5 for stuff like astrobot is the plan until it isn't
 
i doubt there will be anything other than increased specs. and ass my game time is limited now ill just stick to maintaining my ps5. has anyone thought that maybe it isnt a pro... but a full blown handheld after the success of the portal

Its the Pro.
 
In my opinion, pre-orders will not go live today. They will need a firm release date and Sony will not have it. No date, no price today. The title of the video is PS5 Technical Showcase, like come on people. If you expect anything more than what Cerny showed with the PS5 tech talk in early 2020, you'll have only yourself to blame.
Sony will take whatever feedback today to inform their decisions regarding the release date and price range of the Pro. Oh, and they might wait to clear the Switch 2 reveal situation before they lock themselves in.

Can't see them announcing a new console without a price personally.

They did it with the PS5. First the logo reveal, then the Cerny talk, then the "E3" showcase which showed the console itself. They announced the price like, what, 3 months after that?

Believe it or not in 2024 it's kinda difficult to do a 180 or even a 90 on a corporate decision of this sort just because of what a competitor is doing with new launch in 6 months (rumored). If this is really releasing in November everything is locked down for months now.

But this will be out in what a couple of months? I just dont see them going "look at this awesome new version of the PS5, but you cant buy it/ preorder it and we aint telling you the price."

Maybe im wrong, not long until we find out either way i guess.

Mate they have the release date, they have the stock, we are seeing the finale of a years long process. All the focus groups, data analytics etc are done months past.
 
I'm giving my PS5 away, just clearing the backlog. Finished Tlou2. Currently have FF15, FF7RI and DQXIS on the backlog and moving PC + Nintendo combo. Unless this Pro is going to be something insane. I doubt it.
 
I will almost certainly pre-order one but I hope that the console is no more than £649 and ships with the disc drive rather than me having to buy them separate as the latter is almost always out of stock on sites like Amazon here in the UK. Sod's Law dictates that I'll end up getting the console but with no disc drive which means I won't be able to install my existing non-digital library on it.

Don't let me down, Sony!
 
No, unless the Pro will fix Sony's game situation (which it won't because that's a separate issue).

I can recommend DQXIS. It's just a really, really well executed classic JRPG. And has become one of my favorite DQ games.

Yeah, but this isn't a new gen reveal, just a midgen upgrade. PS4 Pro was revealed with the price even though not by Mark Cerny.

I agree. Although now that Xbox is changed their focus and Nintendo being Nintendo, Sony is the sole player in the high-performance console market. Sadly that might get into their head in terms of timing and pricing strategy.

True. The PS4 Pro was priced $100 more than PS4 slim which was revealed at the same time. Now it seems PS5 Pro might come in $200 more than PS5. Can't help but think that a more competitive Xbox would have kept that in check. Hopefully Sony surprises us, but not holding my breath.
 
This has been the worst generation by far, but you can tell why just watching this thread. The Day 1 snobbish team worried about pre ordering something they still dont know, will be the reason for this pro to happen the same as the regular PS5 on the first years: scalpers paradise.

While that, we on PS5 with few real next gen games, and those few barely run decently. Thank you.
 
I would have to work 10 months to buy one
Let's hope that Sony has common sense and put the price bellow 900 usd.

The ps5 was released at 750...

Otherwise the crediario nas casas Bahia will be the main way to deal with the price for most Brazilians.
 
If they do announce price then I'm betting it will be in a blog post. Mark Cerny typically doesn't do that.

Most likely.

The 9 minute will just be the tech-talk and the price will be in the blog post to minimize impact on Cerney's video.
 
It's interesting to follow all the buzz but I am really loving my PC too much at the moment to contemplate buying a console again. I've made great progress with my Steam backlog this year. I only miss having split-screen sessions in the living room with the kids.
