PS5 Pro

[tommers]

I hate it when they just convert USD to GBP as 1:1. Lazy man, do you not have a fucking accountant?

So, £700. No disc drive but it does have


AI man. That'll be great. Like, a Culture mind in my console, watch out fellas the PS5 fucking Pro is going to exterminate us all. (No, I have no idea what this means either).

AI driven upscaling twats.

I'm guessing their version of DLS/FSR. Except everything's got to be AI now, even if it's not.

It will probably work quite well, more than just giving it raw horsepower might.

It says "AI" so it will be a super powerful Artificial Intelligence sitting in my console updating Ratchet & Clank graphics. Hope it doesn't get bored and set up Skynet! "The only way to avoid endlessly upscaling Ratchet & Clank is to destroy the human race!" but in a robot voice.

Hmmmmm.......

My 15yo has just been giving me chapter and verse on this, not that I understood a word of it He is equally unimpressed.

Good for him. Don't buy into their nonsense.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

I’ll get it.

 

[tommers]

I’ll get it.

Let us know what it's like.

 

[BristolEcho]

The stand is extra too.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I’ll get it.

It's like PC Gaming but you replace everything

Not getting it on launch but early next year will get it and consign my ps5 to the spare room…

 

[ruffneck23]

£700? Fuck that, quite frankly.

 

[emanymton]

I'm not a playstation person, I'm quite happy with my switch and series S with a combined cost of about £500.

I'm hoping one of two things will happen here, either they sell way less than the expect. Or they sell okay but most of them are to scalpers who can't sell them on for a profit.

Chuffed that I managed to bag a PS5 Pro (pre-order) this morning.
Anyone else?

 

[bemused]

I may get one if I can trade my PS5 in; otherwise, I'll get a Switch 2.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

I'm holding off for the PS6.

I'm waiting for the 8

That will be a Bluetooth controller and an app for your smart TV.

why buy an update version of the console you already have when no new games to take advantage of the new power


Jesus look at the game being released this Christmas. no Sony I'll keep my 700 quid till you release GTA 6 on the ps6 midway thru next year

I pre-ordered the Pro to play the best (console) version of recently released games I haven’t played yet (e.g. Wukong, Stellar Blade, FFVII Rebirth) and ones coming out soon (e.g. AC Shadows).

I’ll be selling my current PS5 console as well as a few games before November, so I’m not expecting to pay any more than £350 for this mid-gen refresh. The Pro should last me a few years. (No doubt I’ll sell it for the PS6)

To each their own though.

A bit less soon now.

At this point you may as well play PC.

It used to be that the price difference made a console a better option, but people are paying a grand for a console now, and that makes no sense to me at all. I'd rather spend that on a PC that I can upgrade when I want/need.
And the games are far cheaper on PC.

What's stupid is the focus on more and more graphical performance when there really is no need, a game isn't better because it has 20% more grass.

My series S was £250, and games look fantastic on that, I don't see a need to keep pushing things at the sorts of costs we are looking at. Try just making good games with good art direction instead.
