This £700 price tag is what happens when only one console does a Pro version. Not to mention if you want both a disc drive and vertical stand it's going to cost you £830 in total.

[@zlays787b]

Is the existing vertical stand for ps5 slim compatible with ps5 pro also? I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere...

[@ToiletGrenade]

@@zlays787b Yeah I believe that's the case. I know it works on the original model as well as the slim.

[@TecraX2]

According to rumors, Microsoft is preparing to instead release their Next-Gen Xbox in 2026. Besides the price, the biggest issue with the PS5 Pro is that it's still limited by the almost 5 YEAR OLD tech of the base model (eg. CPU, Amount of Memory, etc.). Without any significant price cuts throughout a console generation, a more iterative approach is beneficial. For example, who do Sony expect will buy a PS5 in 2027 for the same or a higher price than when it launched 7 YEARS AGO!

[@ToiletGrenade]

@@TecraX2 I don't think that's going to happen, 2026 is too early.

Thanks Sony, I really wanted a more expensive console that has no disc drive which I have to pay extra for to play the 2 exclusive games you have at the resolution you promised last gen ago!

[@findvolume]

They already play at those resolutions, this is just less or no compromises. Also complaining over a pro model of a device I'd hilarious. You can stick with the regular one if it's too much.

[@harshrajjadhav940]

​@findvolume why are you glazing Sony bro? This gen has under delivered big time and this ps5 pro release is the last nail in the coffin. The ps5 pro is cpu limited big time. It is literally pairing a ryzen 3600 with a 7700 xt. It is a joke with no disc drive and stand.

[@findvolume]

@harshrajjadhav940 No one is glazing anyone. It's an enthusiast pro model device. It will be expensive. Technology is not cheap. The iPhone 16 is $800, the Pro Max is $1200. Comparing it to a PC is also stupid. You're not going to have a full PC that matches and spend only $700. You have to buy all the parts and build it plus a monitor and mouse and a keyboard.

[@harshrajjadhav940]

@@findvolume the ps5 doesn't come with a TV either. Also if someone plays a lot of games the amount saved in game cost will be worth spending extra on a pc. There is nothing 'enthusiast' about the ps5 pro. It's a lazy money grab. 4k60 was promised by Sony with the ps4 pro. Apple are not a standard for good consumer practices, they're one of the most exploitative companies around.

[@findvolume]

@harshrajjadhav940 The PS5 doesn't come with a TV but nearly every house has a TV, if not multiple so I don't get why you're trying to compare because your argument falls flat. Everything about the pro is enthusiast, denying it shows that you don't know what you're talking about lmao. It's not a device made for the average consumer. That's why the regular PS5 and Slim exist. Apple is not the only company that offers pro devices, Samsung does and well. Everything from TVs to headphones to laptop have pro devices lmao. 4k60 already exists with previous consoles, this gives you that with less compromises. You're not going to win this argument lmao.

[@Aaron-xr7oc]

​@TheKing8608_ I dont think people want to spend an additional $200 for slightly better Ray tracing and existing Fsr rebranded. Instead of giving the option of ps5 to lower resolution to hit 60fps they're just selling you the pro. Oh $80 extra for a disk drive.

[@tiagoj8020]

[@thenintendorocker]

"Your not paying too much tremendously more" right cause $200 isn't a lot of money. Sony must think people just have that lying in their couch cushions

[@RickyFish89]

and that's comparing the disc-less Pro to the disc ps5. Truly it's "not tremendously more", just 75% more than the digital ps5 cost when it launched 4 years ago.

[@Yummzoh]

While I agree I believe they missed the mark on the price point I also think they did not do a good job advertising the 2tb SSD. Storage isn't cheap and to add just a 1tb SSD to your PS5 is $100, $150 for 2tb. Upgraded GPU and SSD is where the cost is coming from. The graphic improvement will not be worth the cost for the average consumer, but this is not for the average consumer.

[@TheKing8608_]

People have been begging for a 2TB option forever tho

[@TheKing8608_]

The graphics improvements along with the Ray tracing modes being at 4k60fps at high settings is well worth it cope however you feel tho

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

​@@TheKing8608_ it is not worth it. It never will be. We're talking about a system that plays video games and let's you watch Netflix, which cost the same as a Mid tier gaming PC... if it cost that much you might as well buy the PC instead.

[@JOBNUMBER]

A big problem with the PS5 Pro is that although the PS5 was released at the end of 2020, because of scalpers and scarcity, it took almost 2.5-3+ years before you could even easily find one on the shelves to buy. So many PS5’s out there belong to people who were just recently able to get one, and now Sony is releasing a mid-generation upgrade at a HUGE cost, and they didn’t do a very good job of showing just how much better it would perform for that huge price point. No one really wants to pay $800 all in because of how sharp the grass or faraway leaves will look at 60 frames per second in game, and that’s basically what they were touting the whole presentation as the biggest selling point.
