So the performance vs fidelity dilemma didn't really go away. The only advantage with the Pro is that it's testing upscaling technology for the next system.

[@RocketRenton]

The build quality is no better, and reparability is going to be the same, the most repaired console I see on multiple right to repair channels is the PS5, despite 3 revisions and the Slim, they still went with the same for the Pro and it will fail, by design. If you buy one, get an extended warranty maybe buy via finance or a credit card, if you have pets or smoke or vape, it's essential, as the heatsink will clog up, and it will overheat. They even used liquid metal again, which if exposed to too much heat, fuses to the die, only way of removing it is scraping if off with a blade, scratching the die, and even then it can't really be removed. I also see the same issues with the PSU overheating and failing with that now burrowed down and being exposed to more heat than that of the Slim and the Phat.

[@TheInsanitiesedge]

What are you honestly expecting for the next console to be..... just look at the PC cards coming, they are all about upscaling and ray tracing.

[@hussainchoudhury8846]

Did it not? Didn't the reviewer say that new performance modes use the base ps5's quality graphics pre-set?

[@DarthRavan2012]

The PlayStation 5 Pro is an absolute scam. Let me explain… The PlayStation 5 Pro offers 35% more GPU and 10% more CPU Performance then the Standard Model along with double the Hardware Storage and PSSR Upscaling but doesn’t include the Disc Drive or Stand or any other extra Hardware features. For the complete packaging it will cost you €939.97. Now let’s look at the PlayStation 4 Pro. The PlayStation 4 Pro offered a 227% GPU and 31% CPU increase compared to the Original Model and offered Checker Boarding Upscaling and offered extra USB Slots and at the same cost as the Launch Model. So without a doubt the extra Performance the PS5 Pro is getting is cause of the newer Chip which is very minor and either cost the same or slightly more to Manufacture then the OG PS5 Chipset at Launch. Also you can’t justify PSSR Upscaling to Justify the Price cause Checker Boarder Upscaling on the PS4 Pro didn’t increase the Price plus PSSR will get outdated when newer FSR/DLSS Upscalers release that will work on all Consoles. Also the Storage Upgrade might be the only slightly arguably valid excuse to sell this Console higher then the Standard Model but NVMe Storage has gotten much cheaper and they buy it in bulk saving even more money and cutting out the Disc Drive making this Console easily at best a €550 Console to break even or €599-€649 with the Disc Drive included. They are selling a Premium Console that offers nothing Premium but the Price.

This is the problem with having stronger gpus, many (not all) devs abuse the power and saddle their games with so much graphical enhancements it knocks the FPS back down to 30fps. Really wish platforms would make 60fps compulsory. Graphics be damned.

[@Bob...................]

That's the exact problem with the gaming industry right now, they care more about graphics than gameplay.

[@seniorgun9452]

For most games maybe But for some games like GTA 6, graphics are a must It should look the best and we can manage it with 30 stable fps I believe that’s how it would be anyway when it releases Rockstar are the ones who would shatter the ongoing graphical limitations and move way beyond what we could imagine is possible. Of course the frames will have to compromise for this achievement Regardless, you are right for most other games stable 60 fps is a must now

[@Bob...................]

@@seniorgun9452 I'd rather it be the same graphics as gta 5 as long as the maps bigger, more interactions with npcs like Rdr2 and a stable 60 fps. Obviously I don't speak for everyone but if you played gta san Andrea's right now you wouldn't care about graphics the games still a masterpiece.

An upgrade for enthusiasts. Nothing wrong with that and it's not so different from other product lines. There's always an upper echelon of televisions, headphones, mobiles etc. costing comparatively a lot of money. However you get the best of what's available right now. The law of diminishing returns kicks in (1,5x higher cost doesn't mean 1,5x more speed for example), but when you're an enthusiast you don't care. Again: you want the best of the best hardware wise. So my applause is to those people going for it. Enjoy your buy!

I don't see the point of the Pro if Sony doesn't bother to do in-memory patch for old games such as Arkham Asylum or Bloodborne that could have run in 4k60 or higher instead of 1080p30. Paying $700 for a device and still hoping for the mercy of the developers to do a patch is insane.
