Thought I wouldn't need a stand... boy was i wrong. It's too narrow at the bottom and can easily get knocked down.

Ended up using the stand from my launch model ps5, not a snug fit but gets the job done.

Well, I was considering taking my OG PS5 out of the TV stand (it's behind a door, which I keep open when playing) and having the Pro on the carpet, standing next to my TV stand. But if it isn't stable enough, maybe not?

Edit: Wait, the stands aren't necessarily swappable? Do I need a Pro stand?

OG PS5 stand will fit on the pro, although it's not a snug fit as the OG was bigger but keeps it stable. Good enough for me.

Discs coming out of the pro are very warm!
I don't think these were so warm in base ps5.
But the new disc drive is quieter.

Everything I tried on it, runs and looks better.
Even games without a patch like Forspoken ofr ff16 resolve in much sharper image!
Games with pssr are the real treat tho, Rebirth, stellar blade and dragons dogma 2 look amazing

Few more impressions:
Resident evil 2 remake - Seems solid 60 in RT mode and 120 without RT. Probably could use PSSR and rt mode fps unlock. This would run 100fps.
Forbidden West - wow. What an incredible image quality. Performance mode is around 70fps and looks insane.

Alan Wake 2 - disappointment at the first glance. The shimmering is still there. RT works in 30fps mode and game looks better overall but not in motion and controls are still extremely laggy.
