$700 is insane. $250 just for a 2gb DDR5 cell, a slightly bigger PSU and going to 4nm from 6nm. a tiny chip like this must cost at most $100, even on 4nm. Sony could be selling these for $600 with the disc drive and still be making money.

[@gorrilamaster1096]

Fun fact: CMOS batteries tend to last for around 10 years. And this thing has those at a quick access. Also the cooling on that thing might actually be crazy.

[@wallyjohnn6434]

Anyone who has ever powered up their PC and had the BIOS demand that you insert the correct date & time would disagree with you, both that the battery did not last 10 years, and that it did not last 10 years after they replaced the battery. In the case of 1990's Apple computers a "bad" battery would not allow the Mac to power up at all. I had to replace the Date & Time battery on 6 laptops which demanded a complete strip down. I ended up scraping all 6 as it took hours to do just one. In the case of the xBox360 it did not have a battery, it set the clock through an Internet connection. If you could not connect, which is/was a common complaint, you could not have the correct time set, which could interfere with game save points, all of them having the same date & time, and therefore one could not resume from a game save point. So, if you disconnect power from your TV and reconnect the power, how is it that it sets the time, say on an LG Plasma? Obviously the technology exists. A PC battery may last if the power supply is always connected to the power outlet, but then you also run the chance of capacitors "pop-corning" or leaking. In the case of TVs, that's the Instant On ability.

[@kiisseli1337]

An interesting takeaway from this analysis is that the Series X is actually a pretty well darn designed console: quieter, lower power consumption, while keeping roughly the same temperature. Who would have thought Microsoft had nailed it this time. It's just a shame about the games though...

[@TecraX2]

As a person who upgraded to an XSX from a PS4 Pro, I couldn't agree more! Unfortunately for Xbox, the previous console generation was the one where most people acquired a library of games which thanks to Backwards Compatibility, combined with diminishing returns, constitutes a major obstacle against switching platform. Sony obviously knows this, and aren't afraid exploit this advantage to the maximum... Although I think they are overplaying their hand a bit if they think they can continue with this pricing for the next console generation!

Super hyped about the launch, now I can go get a normal PS5 disk edition on a discount :D

[@bryangooden1505]

Some of y’all. I get it’s not for everyone. But it’s worth it for some. Example- I wanted a ps5 in my family room. So I was getting a second one anyway. I work a job that allows me a 15% discount. I paid 650$ after tax. The actual useable storage is approximately 1.2tb more. If you equate it to a nvme drive of the same size, you could equate that to another 50$ in value. Disc drive- I understand a lot of you guys demand to have one. I usually do too. But the last couple years I’ve found myself buying far more digital games, I really only use the disc drive for movies. So, FOR ME, the extra fidelity, frame rates, and storage, made it a worthy purchase for 650. Especially because I still had the first gen release.

[@Code2142Loco]

Hey now, can you share your discount code? Haha, I'm teasing! And yeah, I agree - if you want something that's being marketed to you, and you've got the funds, buy it, and enjoy it! You don't need to listen to what others have to say, or deal with their negativity! Hope you're enjoying that new PS5 Pro! I might just buy one for myself!

[@DAN2803]

PS5 and steam deck is all I need

[@VonDutchNL]

What's the point of a ps5 pro? Serious question. 80% of games aren't optimised for the base Ps5 yet, so.. i mean.. i really don't get it?

[@fallb0rn]

For me its better frames on games that are struggling right now. Also I hate the blurry image in some games performance mode. PRO fixes that by running quality mode in 60 fps instead of 30.

[@VonDutchNL]

@fallb0rn For a few games, I guess, yes. But I want to play ALL games at least 1440p@60. Also, older games like AC black flags, etc.

[@ShinzoX90]

When money doesn’t matter to you, getting a 5% increased experience from a product you use, is better than not having it.

[@blackdragonstory1122]

Its almost like a con. Like they dont expect any major games in years to come and so they bs people into playing released games again cuz it looks/plays "better".

[@VonDutchNL]

@ShinzoX90 Money doesn't really matter to me, especially as a hard-core gamer. I love the newest tech and gadgets. But I fail to see the point.. I think it's a disgusting move from Sony to not include a disc drive, not have ANY older ps4 games "enhanced."

[@DMPLAYER1000]

Small mistake I noticed but the ps4 enhancement mode is actually essentially just an ai sharpening filter over 1080p ps4 games. PS4 games will already run better on the base PS5, so you don't need the pro for it. Although in rare occassions games that don't hit 60fps on the base ps5 can possibly do so on the pro. Also this sharpening filter doesn't work on games that run at any resolution above 1080p internally.

[@rolardnb]

[@wallyjohnn6434]

In your case it isn't unreasonable, it's justifiable. Those who already own PS5s probably won't see a reason to upgrade, to trade-in their old unit and get a new upgraded unit. Oh, I'm sure there will be some, but it many not be that many. But, because it is Digital Only one has to go into it knowing that they will probably need to pay $160 a year to play games, or pay whatever price is asked when buying a Digital download game. So, do you want to pay $69.99 for the newest game, for the base game, $109 for the Deluxe, or $169.99 for the Premium Deluxe with all the DLCs, costumes, weapons, power-ups, maps, etc., game?

The secret is that it is a more powerful machine. When 700 is a candy bar to you, having a better experience is worth it. Honestly if 700 is a lot of money, you should not be gaming, you should be improving yourself.

@shockle28 No, the best place to play is pc as we can play playstation and xbox games there, they look and run better.

[@megabassxz]

​@shockle28 PC is the best? You guys are peasants who won't get games like GTA VI on Day 1. There's a reason why developers prioritize consoles. Because console players actually buy their games on day 1. Meanwhile, cheapskate PC players wait forever for steam sales while spending money on graphic cards.
