[@agentomecha634]

The audacity Sony has selling this thing at $700 is astounding. They can’t even be bothered to include a stand or disc drive with the system. Sure the improvements sound pretty good on paper, but they certainly aren’t worth the $200 increase over the regular PS5 model.

[@AutZentus]

Plus who plays video games for just the graphical fidelity and fast performance alone? I thought it was about the gameplay and how fun it is that made games fun? Graphics w****s of the ps3 and xbox 360 era ruined gaming.

The reason why it costs £700 and the disk drive is sold separately is because they need to recover those concord funds lmao

[@christopherballero866]

So buying an updated console for $700 when a PS6 probably will be released in 2-3 years and it doesn't even do physical games without need of an accessory

[@killmydread]

And there’s probably not many games left to release since they take so long to make nowadays. Personally I might pick a pro up in 2-3 years when there’s more games out and it’s more reasonable to buy. No one in the uk is gonna buy this console we can barely afford to buy food and pay bills.

[@challengerjakku1943]

I don't think it's for anyone. People who are still playing on the PS4 and haven't upgraded to the PS5 yet despite it being way cheaper than the pro, won't upgrade to the pro because of the price. For Context the ps4 pro sold at the base ps4's retail value, that isn't the case here so those people are out. I've heard people talk about this being an "enthusiast product", yet that doesn't track either. Enthusiasts are more often than not physical collectors, they like the physical games. They aren't going to want to pay for this, plus the price of the external disc drive, plus the vertical stand if they want that too. As for the casuals, they'll just stick to the more affordable option which is the base ps5 that they already have. So I cannot see who this is even for, unless Sony are banking on the elusive "modern" audience to pay for this. All 10 of them that bought Concord.

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

Sony lost millions making Live service games no one asked for. So Im not surprised they did something so greedy. The disk drive is 80 bucks usd, the piece of plastic they are using for a stand is 30 dollars. I would actually be willing to pay 800 dollars which I ended up paying for my Spidey console. If it had the disc drive, the stand, and a game bundled with it but considering they wasted time on live service games no one asked for there is no new game to advertise it.

[@bandicootsauce4569]

I honestly couldn't care less about the stand either way; a standing up PS5 is just BEGGING to be accidentally knocked over and broken. I just lay mine down on a small table, propped it up with a book to stop it wobbling, and I'm hapy enough with it like that. There's no way I'm buying a console without a disc drive, though. And before anyone says it, yes, I know the PS5 comes with a couple of little plastic things that you're supposed to prop it up with to stop it wobbling when it's on its side... but f*ck those tiny, flimsy little things, quite frankly; the book I'm currently using to prop it up is more dependable in my experience.

[@ThibautMahringer]

To be perfectly fair, almost no PS5 games these days truly run at native 4K. Especially in performance mode. So PSSR could definitely allow the PS5 Pro to be a 1080p 60 console, but looking like a 4K 60 one. Instead of a 1440p ~ 4K 30, 720p ~ 1080p 60 one. That’s doesn’t justify the outrageous price, but PSSR is the best new feature of PS5 Pro.

[@fuschia-draws]

someone else was joking about it but yeah i’m genuinely convinced they’re trying to recover some of the money they lost with how much of a flop concord was (apparently they invested a fuckton of money making that one). the price will probably come down, but even then it’d be a hard sell. on the bright side, the ps4 pro ended with a pretty good selection of enhanced games by the end of it’s life, so i don’t think selection is gonna be that big of an issue actually. but yea overall this gen kind of lost sight of what the console market really wants and understands. lots of technical jargon and not enough practical examples to show for it. also astro bot is incredible, easy game of the year for me, unless the new mario and luigi exceeds expectations. i think comparing it to concord says everything about how the video game industry is shifting. live service games are falling out of fashion, ppl want finished, innovative games that are just simple, no-frills fun.

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

Its not juat concord outside of Spiderman 2 and helldivers every live service game they made or canned is a waste of money

If he ever changes the PS5 in his background to a PS5 Pro, we know he's caved in.

[@AutZentus]

I think the PS5 pro was made with graphics w****s (the people who grew up playing PS3 or xbox 360 and would get into heated debates with each other over which platform had better graphical display) in mind hence why it pushes how well visuals and graphical fidelity looks on the platform and I'm sick of these people being the target audience. They don't really care about playing games they just care about how good the graphics and the fidelity to the graphics look, they want everything to be one for one just like the real world. These people are part of the many reasons why gaming sucks today and why we are losing physical media as the main way of getting our entertainment such as gaming (and why most games needs 20 plus patches to play properly). I don't need all need fancy enhancements to visuals for the game to be playable I just need it to function from the getgo.

Every year the gaming industry reminds me why I never became a gamer. No offense intended to gamers or the artform of videogames intended. But for me, I'd rather spend my time and money on other artforms that are cheaper and less of a time suck and have less variables for disappointment like gaming does.

[@VividVirid]

I’m sure the Pro is definitely going to win over the people who skipped the ps5

[@bandicootsauce4569]

I just hope they don't start developing games with the PS5 Pro in mind and leaving those of us with a standard PS5 in the dust as a spiteful, indirect way of them telling us to give them more of our money. I don't want another New 3DS situation where certain games can only be played on the newer model of the exact same console.

[@sonicmaiden2871]

With this more expensive price, they should've already included a disk drive. Without the disk drive you can't play any of the physical ps4 and ps5 games you already own which makes this thing a very expensive paperweight -_- This thing is only worth it for those who already had the digital ps5 since I assume that their digital collection will transfer over to the new model.

e doesn’t realise that developing new Technology takes a lot of effort, engineering skill and cost a lot of money. Sony is a business and not a charity. If you don’t understand that, well nobody is forcing you to buy the new system. But if you want companies to invest in new ideas and develop new technologies you support them and buy it. Not even DF seem to understand this. They whine and call the new upscaling system “pisser”, giggle and act so immature. C’mon John, Rich and Alex, grow up and be professionals and objective. Cernys design is an elegant one, and I’m talking internals here. But being the pc guys they are they are in bed with Microsoft. I have the big three. No im not rich, i have a day job, I like technology and gaming. But I don’t want companies to stop developing great things for me to be part of. Of course it’s expensive. It’s an expensive hobby. Deal with it. Or start reading books, it’s free if you go to the library. Now, even I think they could have included the stand and the drive for a more complete package.
