| OT | PlayStation 5 Pro: 45% Faster, Released November 7

[rofif]

The hate is kinda insane with the PRO.
People are really shitting themselves over 700$ lol.
What were they expecting if base is 500?!

It's a pro model for enthusiasts.
I am seeing a ton of posts recommending going to pc like if that was a cheap option. What are people smoking.
And I got a ton of downvotes on reddit for just saying I am getting the pro.
Don't tell me sony will introduce bundles because I've already ordered stand and drive

 

[Sircaw]

You have a point. I'll be more discerning in what I post or take from other sources.

Filthy Xbox lover, you.

Adds fuel to fire.

 

[balrogboy]

would like to get one at launch but i'm a bit short on money.
The Irony in the pricing is that since I'm from brazil this might end up being cheaper than my launch ps5

PS5 Pro is too expensive; I’m building a $2.5k PC instead. Make it make sense.

 

[Systemshock2023]

PS5 Digital + switch 2 seems the best option for that kind of money if you are getting into console gaming.

 

[64bitmodels]

And the base PS5 ceased to exist or something? lol these takes…

People also complained about that? Especially since that system hasn't had an official price drop in almost half a decade. Doesn't help it had a major scalping situation at launch

Consoles are supposed to be the cheap, convenient entry option for gaming. So when they are expensive, people complain. Even the original PS4 pro was cheaper than the ps5 msrp

Don't get me wrong I actually don't give a shit. With how expensive things are these days a 700 dollar enthusiast video game console isn't gonna make me lose sleep. People change out Iphones every 1 year and those bitches are 1000 a pop. A 7-10 year lasting console for 800 is a bargain in comparison. Just saying that other people will still get mad because it bucks the tradition of below 500 dollar consoles

They’re acting like PC isn’t already far more expensive than PS5. If Ps5 Pro is too expensive, doesn’t that mean a lot of PCs are as well?

These people are the first ones to post pictures doing a benchmark test with a 4090…. Hypocrites.

“Very dry generation with respect to games”

So, you only play Naughty Dog games?

Don't be dumb. Sony have 20+ studios and only insomniac are pumping them out at a good rate. GG have released two games and even housemarque have pumped out one. Take a look from 2007-2020, Sony released a new IP every year with a throng of games.

They've been dry since 2021.

There's a time to defend your favourite company and a time to kick them up the arse to get them back to their best.

There are quite a few of those. A pretty good one was released just last week.

If you think the overall PS5 game output is “dry”, maybe you shouldn’t be calling people dumb.

Exactly. lol look at the shitstorm going on on reddit. I am hiczok there. Answered to someone arguing with me. That is later in the discussion

Apparently that guy got 450 euro pc that blows away a ps5 and I am atupid to have paid 700$ for 3080. where are these idiots coming from

Consoles r supposed to be cheap. The cheaper they are the bigger they succeed. Hence why the Switch (299) PS2 (299 at launch, 199 later on) and DS (150) are the most successful consoles of all time.

PC gamers know they are spending a lot with the hobby so it is less of a complaint over there, but even then PC gamers have hated the general price trends of GPUs for 4 years now. Massive outrage when the RTX 4000 series came out and the 4080 was 1200 bucks. Nobody liked that

Not to mention that 700 for no stand or disc drive is a rip-off

Lol, the “Professional” version of a $500 console is supposed to be cheap? You have a cheap option already with the digital.

I’m tired of broke ass people complaining about shit they cannot afford in the first place. You have been priced out, that’s no one else problem expect yours.

Arguing with the steam bros on Reddit is a waste of time. They have spent the better part of the decade trying disregard consoles (while begging for ports of all the console games)

 

[Polyh3dron]

I could've stomached $599.

For $699 though? And no vertical stand included even? They can keep it, I'll wait for the PC port of VII Rebirth.

Exactly. I posted screenshot of me arguing with some reddit idiots above... there are just poor people telling themselves their 400$ trash bin pcs are good.
And calling me an idiot for having money to spend.
This is getting annoying

I’m going to say those are bots, or the IQ of the average human has sharply dropped recently.

One more lol. Are people really so stupid? I don't play on pc for other reasons not just pure financial math

oh btw and that 450$ pc guy answered me that he got 3080 and 5600x.... lol yeah right.

i got a system that shits all over your system.

Here are my receipts, read it and weep PC peasant.

 

[Sloane_Ranger]

I am revising my initial thought:

Despite the likely good value point for the performance: With No disc drive + the lack of new titles I am interested in, I am now “wait and see"

 

[Would_you_kindly]

Lol I'll stick with my base ps5 they can get fucked at that price especially with the cost of living getting worse

 

[Would_you_kindly]

So I'm guessing there's no showcase this year otherwise they would've announced this at it
