Welcome to inflation gamers, the price of the PS5 controller also just went up on price, this will be the new normal, not even Nintendo is immune to inflation, the price of new tech will be higher, I expect the Switch 2 to be at least $400 to $500, the days of $300 and $500 consoles are gone. groceries, wood, metals, gas, vehicles and homes have doubled to tripled in Price, most console gamers are dumb, delusional children that don't live in reality.

On paper, these are the specs people wanted the PS5 to have at launch. Typicality 30fps is fine, I'm not stuck up or picky, but holy crap did I struggle getting Spider-Man 2 to run the way I wanted on either mode. This performance is a welcome change. And PlayStation brand DLSS is huge step in the right direction. The problem is, the real big 3 here is $700 price tag, no disc drive, no stand. That's a deal breaker. After buying the disc drive and the stand, you're looking at $900+.

I have never bought a "Pro" console, I'm 30 and they have never been necessary

[@dilouc]

Apparently, people do not understand why Sony decided to price the device at such an exaggerated price. It is trying to prepare the world from now on, so that when their next device is released in 2027, its price will be very close to the current price of the Pro, and perhaps more.

PS5 in India is already priced at 700USD. Imagine the price of the Pro. My God. That's already my 6 month worth of rent right there.

The PS5 Pro will be $960 here in Canada. It's fucking insane. No way I'm upgrading lmao

[@MrMeanh]

Countries with Euro have ~20-24% tax included in the price. $700 is ~634€ atm, including tax this is ~760-790€ depending on country. The official price in Europe is not much more than in the US no matter what Luke is claiming.

[@biggezee]

People are complaining about the PS5 Pro being $700, but yet they rather pay over $1000 for a new iPhone every year....make it make sense.

[@LgnShorty]

I bought a $1300 phone from Sony and they couldn’t even include a charging cable . I really think I am done with Sony and their anti consumer practices

[@MrBeakey]

If you look at it. 67% GPU performance update, 2TB SSD, and Proprietary 3X Ray-tracing made by Sony and AMD. price to performance may be about right. but no disk drive is crazy. I paid 1200.00 for a GPU upgrade in my PC. You cannot build a PC with the performance for 700.00. I will be getting one at launch. Buying my drive and stand now. PS5 TFlop 10.1 to PS5 Pro TFlops 36.2. this a crazy upgrade. faster than Nvidia 3080ti. In a console! That's insane for a mid-gen refresh.

[@Artimidorus]

You can 100% build a PC that runs PS5 games for $700-$800. This isn't some amazing gift to technology, it's still a PC. So you can go buy it, and I hope you enjoy it - but don't buy it because you think it's some great deal that could never be found in the PC market. Though I guess if you are making that argument you also aren't familiar with building and only insist on buying pre-made, then yes... Pre-made PCs cost a lot more. They also wouldn't make a PC that's as low end as a PS5 and will try to sell you something that's only 5x-10x more powerful. Also, no. The GPU is NOT faster than 3080ti, lol.

[@elvickRULES]

Cerny said himself 75% of people choose performance modes, so better ray tracing is not a good justification. At all

[@Im_helpless]

When has a pro version of a console ever been worth buying, I don’t understand why they even make them

[@susanna8612]

Yup, and 60 fps was supposed to be standard.

[@Im_helpless]

@@susanna8612 yea like on console all games are designed to run at a certain graphical quality and fps so having stronger hardware does basically nothing other than improved load times and perhaps smoother gameplay on larger games

[@--Anurag--]

I don’t think Sony expects ps5 pro to become the primary console. I think they will target the same ratio of ps4 pro which was 20%. Portal also sold more than what people expected. I didn’t think people would buy $1500 gpu but it sells.

[@Blast1314]

20% is generous

[@--Anurag--]

@@Blast1314 That is what the ratio was apparently according to reports. I have to specify, the 20% was after the release of the pro model and not overall numbers.

[@heyhoojoe]

I wonder if the PS5 Pro enters the danger zone of prices with this move. When I upgraded my PC from a 2070 super I went back and forth between the 4070 and the 4080, landing on the latter, because both had big price-tags, but at least with the 4080 I wouldn't have to wonder if I was gonna be able to run a game I wanted for a couple of years. 799€ without the vertical stand, without a blu-ray disk drive - that puts it dangerously close to a gaming PC, leaving only PS5 exclusives as an incentive to get one.

As a 30 yr old growing up on PS1, I only just see a difference between 30 fps vs 60, let alone the fidelity stuff, this console is just a meme to me at this price

[@Ryan_Bolton11]

Plus, about 200$ for a stand and disk drive.

[@sliceofheaven3026]

Its 800 euros in Europe and probably even more expensive around different parts of the continent. Is Sony really expecting these things to sell in decent amounts with price like this?

[@Rico-yt1tw]

The problem isn't the hardware it's the software... they just want to utilize more advanced hardware so the CPU will do I the work (brute force all the code) what they should focus on is making fully optimized games and utilizing the current hardware to it's full potential...
