I wouldn’t say must buy but it definitely gives you the most with that combination. I think its value will come more with time as I can see games slowly becoming worse and worse performance-wise on the base PS5 over the next few years.
@@makasete30 Gta 6 I can see into the future and see Digital Foundry saying the only way to get a stable 30fps is on the pro. 😂 that game just looks too much for anything.
I never got the PS5 or PS5 Slim and I've been saving up money on the side and sticking with PS4. So the PS5 Pro will be my choice, I intend to stick with it for a while so I might even get a 4TB SSD.

You will be making a mistake. Its got the same CPU so the same bottleneck. And no GTA6 will not run better on it. Go look at Loading times videos and the Matrix Awaken video comparing FPS... both at 30 FPS. Because it is bottlenecked by a 5 year old CPU. Save your money and get a cheap base PS5 on black friday my dude... thank me later.
This guy gets it. Only people the pro is actually for is for Sony…to make $ off people with more $ than brains. This console makes no sense for anyone. There’s always some people that will defend it no matter what and assume anyone against it is broke 😂
GTA 6 will most probably still run at 30fps on the Pro. However the game will almost certainly look better than the base PS5. It's got a much stronger GPU and better ray tracing.
Місяць тому
@@Tech-is1xylike which game that looked better on the pro? Many graphics comparisons even showing pro having a softer/blurry image... despite more RT. The bottleneck is made sure by Sony's scam which at the point of GTA6 release... the "pro" console will have a more than 6 years old CPU. Hence it Loading the same and having the same FPS as the base model. For RT to be stable at higher framerates, you need the CPU to keep up. Sony opted to bottleneck the CPU so by the time PS6 comes every single PS5 "pro" user has to upgrade. So they can avoid the situation with the PS4 Pro...where people held on to it. Rightly. So get the base PS5 and lets see what Sony does for the PS6. This "pro" is a scam.
I’m quite enjoying mine, paid for it by selling my “old” PS5 and Xbox Series X I wasn’t using. Just a bit confused as to why I don’t seem to have access to the updated version of Alan Wake II that supports it. Glad to hear Silent Hill 2 remake is getting support though!
@ I don’t need 2 different consoles and honestly more excited for the Pro. I have more arguments than just those but so far I’m happy with it, and in this case I think that’s all that really matters. Considering if you can afford it of course.
Yea ill stick with my ps5 and LG C3 oled tv. Ive never been a graphics guy like my brothers and some ppl. Just as long as the game doesnt dip below 30 and im good.
Not getting one even on paper launch. PS5 Pro is 45% GPU increase, but they are charging 80% more on price compared to a regular PS5 with a disc drive...that math doesnt add up 😂
The biggest issue i have with the system is the price to how much time is left before the ps6 arrives. That's $700 for a 4 year only commitment if you plan on getting ps6 at launch.
I feel like you need to be the launch day console person or the mid grade console person. I just got the PS5 Pro two days ago. If you already have the PS5, stay where you’re at. Honestly. I’m handing mine over to relative but otherwise I’d stay with the regular PS5. One thing to note is PlayStation’s website has a trade in offer of $300 for PS5 in case you fit that offer.
@ Facts. As I’ve had this Pro for a couple days now, it was more of a worth and difference from PS4 to PS4 Pro than it is from the PS5 to the PS5 Pro. Save your money kids.
I kinda want a ps5 pro but i got a decent gaming pc instead and its hard to look back since im gaming everything at 120-144fps now and 60fps or games that are barley hitting that are just a no go. Plus i use a controller on pc in the living room so it feels exactly like a console just better
I got a pro and have base ps5 and a high end pc, so saying pro is just for new players is a poor statement And enjoying games like tlou1 and 2 in 90+ fps, same with resident evil village and re4, stellar blade got 80fps so for me it’s a worthwhile upgrade But not everyone can afford one or care about framerates so i get that a console that runs games better is not as valuable for everyone
Whoa, you’re telling me the beanie is detachable!? I thought it was a magical beanie that could change style and color but was just permanently attached to him like a curse!
I had a PS5 and upgraded. Don't have a fancy tv, and I think its worth the extras 200 bucks. My old PS5 already had a 2TB ssd. So put it in my pro, got 4 tb's of storage right out of the box. Worth every penny I spent.
If you already have a PS5, you can sell it then upgrade. I sold my PS5 for $340 and then the cost to upgrade was $360, which was worth it in my opinion.
With the Pro version costing $1300NZ and add the cost of a disk drive bringing the cost to close to $1500 NZ yeah nah think I'll stick to my original ps5.
I’m still happy with playing with my PS4. I bought the destiny themed special edition PlayStation 4 for $179 and I’m gonna tell you right now. It is the best thing of my life and the best choice of my life that I have ever done. I can’t believe I’m having so much fun with one console And I used to be on a PlayStation a lot more and I was an Xbox user before I’m still on Xbox easier I play both consoles but honestly PlayStation to show me a little bit more gratitude a little bit more fun things and a lot of cool exclusive games so yeah PlayStation 4 is worth to have
Kevin I enjoyed thia video alot more than before. There was something different in a great way. And no im not talking about the beanie. It might have to do with the more personal touch you gave it and the simple way you broke down the fact where its a tough sell on this console being $200 more to play the same games with barely any more "shine" to them without outright bashing Sony like some other youtubers. Awesome job man.
To me, it was worth buying the Playstation 5 Pro even though I already have the Playstation 5 Slim Disc Version. I am a graphics type of guy and largely prefer 4K graphics over 60fps performance. However, that doesn't mean I dont still hate having to compromise. Being able to have a Performance Pro mode that uses PSSR to give me 4K at 60fps is exactly what I've been yearning for. I do wish on games like The Last Of Us 2, that every game just had one pro mode to choose instead of still making me pick between fidelity pro and performance pro. Like I said, I'm a graphics and visual guy, so those fidelity pro modes are still tempting, but they mostly just boost ray tracing ability rather than resolution while still playing at 30fps. I can live without ray tracing as long as I have my 4K at 60fps. Plus, most performance pro modes still feature basic ray tracing anyway. I also really love the look of the Playstation 5 Pro. It's very aesthetically pleasing and super reminiscent of the Playstation 5 Slim, and since I had a Playstation 5 Slim to begin with, now having them side by side look absolutely amazing in my setup.
Besides the price and besides it not coming with a disc drive, I feel like this console was a waste of energy and effort from Sony. Sony has been doing a lot of questionable things for its fan beats this whole generation and it definitely looks like something from a company who doesn’t feel threatened at the top. Sony wants people to buy this pro and replay games they have already beat. Their newest game Astro bought takes no advantage of this console, the live service game they have GT7 patch is not ready, I don’t think Concord was going to benefit from this console either. So it’s kind of odd for them to put this counsel out with no games no games in the near future a.k.a. five months that’s going to benefit from this console. It just doesn’t really make a lot of sense to offer this to its customers with no huge benefit. PS4 Pro made sense but a lot of people didn’t upgrade to 4K TVs but enough did and the market for those TVs were dropping so drastically that it makes sense also, I think they got sense. Xbox was doing something so they decided to whip up something. I think Sony might have jumped the gun a bit and thought Xbox was going to have a mid gen console again and they wanted to match, but Xbox doesn’t need it. I also feel like outside of F1. These companies could have optimize their games a lot better to have better performance. This generation hasn’t touched the power of either of the current consoles. Overall, the system doesn’t make any sense and I really wish I was in Sony headquarters getting the real reason why this was made.
Sony announced the regular PS5 slim for this Holidays at a $70 discount, so the PS5 Pro is basically twice the investment as a PS5 regular. Now does it offer twice the performance and graphics over the regular PS5? That's something to consider when choosing in my opinion. Also if you are already invested in the original PS5 disc version, there is no reason to spend almost $800 for a system that does not offer returns of said investment. It is too expensive for too little of an upgrade.
What I think is really interesting about most of the reviews I’ve watched is that they seem to forget one extremely important detail you need to consider before you even entertain the idea of buying the PS5 Pro; Do you have a minimum 65” 4K, OLED, 120hz TV with VRR and HDR capabilities? This TV will cost anywhere from $1000 to $1500. If you don’t have one, you’re not even going to utilize any of the Pro features properly.
You can add your OWN??? Seriously I might need to pick one of these up! For my first console in a while. Unless Nintendo does something cool, which I can’t see that happening. I think pro would be the way to go for my first PlayStation, for future proofing, and the fact that games running at 30 per second really bother me so I think this would reduce the chances of that happening. Only problem is, I doubt I would be able to get elder scrolls or other Bethesda games on this system. 😭😭 That storage upgrade option sounds amazing for me!
A lot of these PS5 Pro enhanced games are available on PC. Including the 1st party games. So it would be a better investment to get a mid - high range PC. You're getting more capabilities than the Pro with the opportunity to upgrade with future graphics cards and CPUs. With PS5 Pro you are completely depending on developers making a patch at a set specification.
I just got the ps5 slim disc version with a 2nd dualsense and with horizon forbidden west , demon souls + media remote + pulse 3d headset for 750€ much better deal in my opinion!
What makes it pro exactly? Its just a word to suck people in to buy it just like the iPhone pro max if want the best features you must pay more money to get it.
The same people who complain about the PS5 pro not being worth it are the same people who spend 1,000 on their phone, and over 1,000 on a PC that performs at the same level as a PS5 pro.
Nah most people get a discount on their phone from a cellular provider then finance it over 24 months. The cost of the phone is then subsidized from the monthly plan.
PC is different mate, like a PC can do WAY more than just play games. And kinda the same with the phone. Like you can’t make phone calls or SMS on a PS5.
The people dropping thousands on other stuff with no issue and still saying ps5 pro isn't worth it says alot. It says they don't care to spend big money, so price isn't the issue, but what you get for it is the issue. You legitimately just validated everyone who says it wasn't worth the cash.
What I really need to know that I can't find anywhere is: - What wireless keyboards work with this via bluetooth without a receiver - What keyboards have USB-C receivers - IS there a USB-C to USB-C cable that fits the previous dualsense edge cable housing perfectly (it needs to be rectangular) & sony doesn't seem to be offering an updated cable direct. Honestly the loss of the front USB-A port has been the biggest pain in the arse for me with the Pro, because I need the two rear ports for my Shure mic & DAC/AMP, so the front port was always for my charging cable, or keyboard & my current keyboard doesnt work with PS5s bullshit restrictive bluetooth
I preordered mine and am happy but the answer is no. I sold my OG PS5 for $300 to cut on the Pro loses. I play on a 77” OLED, usually on my 4090/7950X PX. If that’s you…you already got yours. If that’s not you…yeah, save the cash. Not worth it.
Of course, it's NOT enough, players are waiting PS6, true 4K 60fps/120fps machine as PS5 advertised. BUT, PS5 Pro is amazed me, how clear the image can be on LED TV other than owning an OLED TV, it sharpens the graphic and keeps same fps or more enhanced fps, it totally fit its marketed goal.
I thought u had hair like Jared Leto !!! Is Xbox gonna get FSR 4? PSSR looks legit. And 16.7 teraflops has more than a ps4 pro over series x. 4.4 teraflop gain and PSSR But same CPU. And not true RDNA 3? I have 42 LG C3. I love thst AMD Freessyn Premium on Xbox. I also have an original ps5 with disc. Xbox has Dolby vision but does it matter if ps5 pro has PSSR and 16.7 teraflops. I heard it’s really like 23 or 33. But it technically is 16.7. Is it worth it? I use my Xbox more because of forza and all the pro controllers. Steal ultra. V3 Wolverine. Victrix. Anyways. Crkd+ plus is great. Love it. The vibration isn’t hd. But it isn’t bad. But I heard mobapad m6 hd is way to go. Ronin grip is cool and I have eclipse kontrolfreek for my pastel green and purple joy cons. But the Hall effect sticks on the cracked r amazing. And the sidekick buttons r pretty awesome. I use y still cuz it’s easy but hitting a x b can be out of the way controllling, anyways. Love u mam!
The Pro seems pretty cool in some respects but man, $700 is just kind of nuts. And I’m definitely one of those people that love having physical copies of games, so an additional $80 for the disc drive plus taxes and all that… yeesh. I’ll stick with my launch PS5 lol.
This is the reason why buying PS5 Pro is not worth it. Each console generation brings new UI, new hardware design, new controller design with added functions, and new games that are eventually only playable to the new console generations. Albeit the latter usually takes a couple of years. Last but not least, significantly more powerful hardware. Ps5 pro absolutely doesn't give you any of that besides slightly more powerful hardware, which isn't even a whole generation ahead, yet their charging you more than a new console generation would while taking the disk drive away. You're paying way more than ever before for pretty much the same experience we already have with the PS5 but without a disk drive. How do you not see that?
I've had the ps5 slim since launch, I've played a handful of graphically gorgeous games....R.E.4, Deadspace remake, stellar blade etc. Honestly I've had the most fun playing prince of persia the lost crown so much so that it has got me hooked and pushing me to play other metroidvania games like hollow knight. I'm burnt out on these games that take the fun out of games and are just interactive animated movies. Sand box games have seemed wash and repeat for the last 15 years as well, with the exception of the yakuza series and a few others.
$1100 CAD for a aoftware upscaler. The hardware itself is NOT 45% increase in raw performance, thats just creative marketing, selling the idea that the upscaler creates the perception of that visual increase. The actual increase in raw performance is closer to 15-20%. Its just a new upscaller and sharpening. Probably the equivalent of an RTX 3070.
then most gpus such as the 3070 are upscalers and sharpening if you put it that way as nvidia are going the same route, we are getting to the point were the graphical differences will be minimal, dont expect the ps6 to look like a generational leap like ps2 to ps3. this machine is not for everyone
Why is it that the people who can't afford to buy it are the ones trying to tell us what to do with our money? You can stop with the cope. We all know you want one but you can't buy one. Instead of leaving it at that, you talk trash because you're salty you can't buy one. I purchased 2 and the difference is very very clear. It'll become much clearer as more ue5 games release. There's nothing wrong with your existing ps5 so go play that instead of whining and coping. While you're at it, go cope about all the other things that are too expensive like ferrari's, bmws, iphone pro max, first class tickets, etc
@@OutOfFocus-fk6wy I mean if you dont see some differences like in final fantasy rebirth or the weather effects in f1 24 to name just 2 games) you must have impaired vision or just lying to yourselves. some of the people just dont even understand things like the base fidelity or base performance mode with the pro fidelity mode (more ray tracing at higher res) and pro performance mode (higher res than base) in spiderman 2 the pro modes are doing a lot more than the base machine but they are comparing pro fidelity mode to base fidelity mode and think that the pro is doing the same thing and saying theres only 5fps difference. quite a few channels spreading this misinformation.
Tell me you understand what you are saying without telling me you don’t understand. It’s hardware upscale for a start very similar to DLSS. The rest I won’t bother with because as you’ve shown, you don’t understand.
I really like pre-am I PS5? Is treating me good but unfortunately Jamie Curtis is no longer 35 years younger in exercise outfit looking good so I think we have to make choices in life. Do you wish for the rest of your life at Jamie Curtis? still look good or do you spend an extra couple of hundred quid on an awesome console? They can fill in the gaps PS5 pro all the way I think it’s absolute Grey and something people aren’t mentioning is just the fluidity of its own menu system is just working better. This quicker you go to the store it’s quicker might be a minor thing but anything that makes that heap quicker is good for me. It’s good stuff I like it. I’m happy with it very fair commenting on this dude I think after all the negativity from people that haven’t even bought a damn thing it’s great stuff. Take care. Have a good one.
Who's to say the same performance specs transfer over to the PS6? Then what? It's tempting to buy the pro rn but... waiting for the PS6 seems a better choice than getting another console that has extra performances. I could be wrong idk, just saying and wondering what you all think, I'm all for Playstation.
What if: You havent purchased the PS5 at all the past 4 years and havent played the vast majority of the PS5/PS4 games that came out, would it be worth then to pay the extra $200 and get the Pro over the base (Slim) 🤔 I'm guessing the PS6 is going to come out around 2027/2028, so there is also the case of future proofing for the next coming years ... its a bit vague atm to be hounest, if it is worth it or not to plunge $700 (or more) on the Pro 🤔
If you never had a ps5, absolutely buy the pro. If you have a 5 already (you said you dont, but for others reading this..) don't waste the money, minimal upgrades for another $700. But your case specifically, when I bought the 5 on launch day, it was a MASSIVE difference in quality, speed, loading times etc. from a 4 to a 5. So for you, yeah buy the pro. But for existing owners like me, it's not worth upgrading.
bro has been wearing that beanie through some of the fiercest summers imaginable and takes it off just as winter approaches.
😂 maybe he is trying to grow his hair back & want to try something new. No harm in that.
Only while filming 🎥 indoors.
Cmmon bro, don't scare him back into his shell 😂
😂😂😂

Oh sh he did it! No beanie!
The video before this one he did it too
Idk why I always thought he had dreadlocks under the beanie 😅
🥜
Fun fact, before the video started, his mom actually asked him to remove the beanie for this video
I thought his head was just made of cotton/wool fiber 🤷♂
Head reveal! Looking good!
OG Kenson look. Really old channel vids he went beanie free too
He has another channel that he only does without the beanie.
This isn't new anymore.
Real fans know this isn't his first head reveal
I was gonna say...
Hope he does it more though. Looks good on him.
Been very unsolicited, should’ve set up a reveal-date
Did anyone do a double look and click on the video to verify? Same.
the video is all about the PS5 Pro, why tf I see everyone only talking about his head lmfaooooo 😂
Probably more interesting than the PS5 pro lol
The dome is freeeee! 🎉 ❤
Ngl, no beanie suits you really well
Bruh head shape is funny af😂😂

Looking good without the beanie!
Love the look my man and great opinion as always completely agree
This video is a perfect example of explaining what the PRO does and what you need to be aware of between both base and this version. Love it.

PS5 Pro target audience: people who currently don't have a PS5 and that's it. It's simply not worth the upgrade, just save your $$$ for the PS6.
Or people just do what they want
I got the PS5 pro and stand for $50 with trade ins. I play F1 2024 and First descendent for hours. So far ,for me , it’s getting use.
I got a pro and have base ps5 and a high end pc, so saying pro is just for new players is a poor statement
And enjoying games like tlou1 and 2 in 90+ fps, same with resident evil village and re4, stellar blade got 80fps so for me it’s a worthwhile upgrade
But not everyone can afford one or care about framerates so i get that a console that runs games better is not as valuable for everyone
Or just buy PS5 Pro and PS6 when it comes out
I have a 3070, base ps5, and the pro. I'll be giving my base ps5 to my little brother who has a 4070 so that we can play gta6 at launch. You're wrong.
I still don’t understand why PSSR isn’t available on the base ps5?
Because they added custom machine learning hardware to the ps5 pro
I’ve been waiting for this day. Finally. Proud of you
Did they send the stand too or did you sell the beanie so you could afford it
Whoa, you’re telling me the beanie is detachable!? I thought it was a magical beanie that could change style and color but was just permanently attached to him like a curse!
I was expecting him to have a Lego guy’s head.
You look great without the hat and without the hair man. Glad you finally embraced it.

Great video as always! I think God of War 2018 does have a PS5 patch tho.
I just noticed the head reveal! Thanks for answering that burning question!
Is the ps5 slim worth upgrading over the original ps5 ?
I bought one to go with my 144Hz VRR display. its going to play very well!
I traded in my ps5 disk, and bought the pro. I pre-ordered, so I can have it day one. The down side are the scalpers buying up the disk drives.

11:02 You should compare the digital edition price to the Pro, not the disc one since it doesn’t have one.
You've gotten us used to seeing you wear a beanie for so long that it is kinda weird to see your head. However, you don't look bad at all!
Does remote play run better on the pro?
Does it support NTFS flash drive?
Lg 77 C4 OLED and this pro is something else
Besides the price and besides it not coming with a disc drive, I feel like this console was a waste of energy and effort from Sony. Sony has been doing a lot of questionable things for its fan beats this whole generation and it definitely looks like something from a company who doesn’t feel threatened at the top.
Sony wants people to buy this pro and replay games they have already beat. Their newest game Astro bought takes no advantage of this console, the live service game they have GT7 patch is not ready, I don’t think Concord was going to benefit from this console either. So it’s kind of odd for them to put this counsel out with no games no games in the near future a.k.a. five months that’s going to benefit from this console. It just doesn’t really make a lot of sense to offer this to its customers with no huge benefit. PS4 Pro made sense but a lot of people didn’t upgrade to 4K TVs but enough did and the market for those TVs were dropping so drastically that it makes sense also, I think they got sense. Xbox was doing something so they decided to whip up something. I think Sony might have jumped the gun a bit and thought Xbox was going to have a mid gen console again and they wanted to match, but Xbox doesn’t need it.
I also feel like outside of F1. These companies could have optimize their games a lot better to have better performance. This generation hasn’t touched the power of either of the current consoles. Overall, the system doesn’t make any sense and I really wish I was in Sony headquarters getting the real reason why this was made.
The SSD expansion is not as long or as deep as the base PS5. My heat sink does not fit
What’s the game on the desktop wallpaper behind you?
Sea of Stars
Lack of a beanie made ma do a double take. For a second, i thought id clicked on a Matthew Santoro vid.
Sony announced the regular PS5 slim for this Holidays at a $70 discount, so the PS5 Pro is basically twice the investment as a PS5 regular. Now does it offer twice the performance and graphics over the regular PS5? That's something to consider when choosing in my opinion. Also if you are already invested in the original PS5 disc version, there is no reason to spend almost $800 for a system that does not offer returns of said investment. It is too expensive for too little of an upgrade.
Finally, thank you for letting it breathe… it’s a good look bro 💪🏽👍🏽
Awesome review!!
What I think is really interesting about most of the reviews I’ve watched is that they seem to forget one extremely important detail you need to consider before you even entertain the idea of buying the PS5 Pro;
Do you have a minimum 65” 4K, OLED, 120hz TV with VRR and HDR capabilities? This TV will cost anywhere from $1000 to $1500.
If you don’t have one, you’re not even going to utilize any of the Pro features properly.
You can add your OWN??? Seriously I might need to pick one of these up! For my first console in a while. Unless Nintendo does something cool, which I can’t see that happening. I think pro would be the way to go for my first PlayStation, for future proofing, and the fact that games running at 30 per second really bother me so I think this would reduce the chances of that happening.
Only problem is, I doubt I would be able to get elder scrolls or other Bethesda games on this system. 😭😭
That storage upgrade option sounds amazing for me!
I want one but not at its current price ill wait a year if I have to for a sale on the Pro maybe then more patches will be available
A lot of these PS5 Pro enhanced games are available on PC. Including the 1st party games. So it would be a better investment to get a mid - high range PC. You're getting more capabilities than the Pro with the opportunity to upgrade with future graphics cards and CPUs. With PS5 Pro you are completely depending on developers making a patch at a set specification.
Looking good bro, I also rock clean head and beard.
Great review😊
I just bought my ps5 slim with disk. I can still return it, should i replace it for a pro?
Not if you need a disk.....
absolutely not worth it, stick with the base PS5 (bought the Pro friday and returned Saturday)
said nobody ever.
Glad you took off beanie 🎉
I just got the ps5 slim disc version with a 2nd dualsense and with horizon forbidden west , demon souls + media remote + pulse 3d headset for 750€ much better deal in my opinion!
What makes it pro exactly? Its just a word to suck people in to buy it just like the iPhone pro max if want the best features you must pay more money to get it.
Million dollar question.
His missing beanie is a more important matter I swear 😂
The same people who complain about the PS5 pro not being worth it are the same people who spend 1,000 on their phone, and over 1,000 on a PC that performs at the same level as a PS5 pro.
yeah but you need a really good TV for it also , I would say another 700-1400 on top of the 700 for PS5 Pro
Nah most people get a discount on their phone from a cellular provider then finance it over 24 months. The cost of the phone is then subsidized from the monthly plan.
PC is different mate, like a PC can do WAY more than just play games.
And kinda the same with the phone.
Like you can’t make phone calls or SMS on a PS5.
The people dropping thousands on other stuff with no issue and still saying ps5 pro isn't worth it says alot. It says they don't care to spend big money, so price isn't the issue, but what you get for it is the issue. You legitimately just validated everyone who says it wasn't worth the cash.
@@Dr.Diddler-t9fNo, you just need eyes
Omfg Kevin without a hat!!!!
What I really need to know that I can't find anywhere is:
- What wireless keyboards work with this via bluetooth without a receiver
- What keyboards have USB-C receivers
- IS there a USB-C to USB-C cable that fits the previous dualsense edge cable housing perfectly (it needs to be rectangular) & sony doesn't seem to be offering an updated cable direct.
Honestly the loss of the front USB-A port has been the biggest pain in the arse for me with the Pro, because I need the two rear ports for my Shure mic & DAC/AMP, so the front port was always for my charging cable, or keyboard
& my current keyboard doesnt work with PS5s bullshit restrictive bluetooth
The Ps 5 Pro is amazing on the A95L
No beanie! Omg what a surprise!
Been waiting on PS9 sticking with my PSX
what is that game at 0:37?
Final Fantasy XVI, it's one of the boss fights early in the game :)
@@Deathlygunn thanks m8!
Looked like Panzer Dragoon 😮😅
My G look very manly without the beanie.
I thought the beanie was glued to your head. 😅
I preordered mine and am happy but the answer is no. I sold my OG PS5 for $300 to cut on the Pro loses. I play on a 77” OLED, usually on my 4090/7950X PX. If that’s you…you already got yours. If that’s not you…yeah, save the cash. Not worth it.
Of course, it's NOT enough, players are waiting PS6, true 4K 60fps/120fps machine as PS5 advertised. BUT, PS5 Pro is amazed me, how clear the image can be on LED TV other than owning an OLED TV, it sharpens the graphic and keeps same fps or more enhanced fps, it totally fit its marketed goal.
I thought u had hair like Jared Leto !!! Is Xbox gonna get FSR 4? PSSR looks legit. And 16.7 teraflops has more than a ps4 pro over series x. 4.4 teraflop gain and PSSR But same CPU. And not true RDNA 3? I have 42 LG C3. I love thst AMD Freessyn Premium on Xbox. I also have an original ps5 with disc. Xbox has Dolby vision but does it matter if ps5 pro has PSSR and 16.7 teraflops. I heard it’s really like 23 or 33. But it technically is 16.7. Is it worth it? I use my Xbox more because of forza and all the pro controllers. Steal ultra. V3 Wolverine. Victrix. Anyways. Crkd+ plus is great. Love it. The vibration isn’t hd. But it isn’t bad. But I heard mobapad m6 hd is way to go. Ronin grip is cool and I have eclipse kontrolfreek for my pastel green and purple joy cons. But the Hall effect sticks on the cracked r amazing. And the sidekick buttons r pretty awesome. I use y still cuz it’s easy but hitting a x b can be out of the way controllling, anyways. Love u mam!
I love your shaved head, much better than the beanie always covering your hair. Better to just accept it 👍
The Pro seems pretty cool in some respects but man, $700 is just kind of nuts. And I’m definitely one of those people that love having physical copies of games, so an additional $80 for the disc drive plus taxes and all that… yeesh. I’ll stick with my launch PS5 lol.
This is the reason why buying PS5 Pro is not worth it. Each console generation brings new UI, new hardware design, new controller design with added functions, and new games that are eventually only playable to the new console generations. Albeit the latter usually takes a couple of years. Last but not least, significantly more powerful hardware. Ps5 pro absolutely doesn't give you any of that besides slightly more powerful hardware, which isn't even a whole generation ahead, yet their charging you more than a new console generation would while taking the disk drive away. You're paying way more than ever before for pretty much the same experience we already have with the PS5 but without a disk drive. How do you not see that?
Just tell us you broke,and jog on
@bdizzle9586 lol.i can buy 20 ps5 pros if I wanted to, but i have common sense, sheep.
@ No you can’t that’s why you’re crying about it to strangers on the internet.
Got mine on raylo less than 30 pounds a month rental I all ready got a ps5
Can't take anything you say seriously until the beanie returns.
I've had the ps5 slim since launch, I've played a handful of graphically gorgeous games....R.E.4, Deadspace remake, stellar blade etc. Honestly I've had the most fun playing prince of persia the lost crown so much so that it has got me hooked and pushing me to play other metroidvania games like hollow knight. I'm burnt out on these games that take the fun out of games and are just interactive animated movies. Sand box games have seemed wash and repeat for the last 15 years as well, with the exception of the yakuza series and a few others.
I have been really happy with the purchase but you said it pretty good its not for everyone and I dont think it was meant to be
Im glad you removed the beanie
Love the style
Beanie was weird and i hated it lol
why is it so specific the audience? Dosent everyone want 60fps?
No disk drive, PASS
UA-camrs looking hard on how to recommend a ps5 pro “Comes,down to you” you can’t say….”no, it,isn’t worth it” time to go full on PC!
$1100 CAD for a aoftware upscaler. The hardware itself is NOT 45% increase in raw performance, thats just creative marketing, selling the idea that the upscaler creates the perception of that visual increase.
The actual increase in raw performance is closer to 15-20%. Its just a new upscaller and sharpening. Probably the equivalent of an RTX 3070.
then most gpus such as the 3070 are upscalers and sharpening if you put it that way as nvidia are going the same route, we are getting to the point were the graphical differences will be minimal, dont expect the ps6 to look like a generational leap like ps2 to ps3. this machine is not for everyone
Why is it that the people who can't afford to buy it are the ones trying to tell us what to do with our money? You can stop with the cope. We all know you want one but you can't buy one. Instead of leaving it at that, you talk trash because you're salty you can't buy one. I purchased 2 and the difference is very very clear. It'll become much clearer as more ue5 games release. There's nothing wrong with your existing ps5 so go play that instead of whining and coping. While you're at it, go cope about all the other things that are too expensive like ferrari's, bmws, iphone pro max, first class tickets, etc
@@OutOfFocus-fk6wy I mean if you dont see some differences like in final fantasy rebirth or the weather effects in f1 24 to name just 2 games) you must have impaired vision or just lying to yourselves. some of the people just dont even understand things like the base fidelity or base performance mode with the pro fidelity mode (more ray tracing at higher res) and pro performance mode (higher res than base) in spiderman 2 the pro modes are doing a lot more than the base machine but they are comparing pro fidelity mode to base fidelity mode and think that the pro is doing the same thing and saying theres only 5fps difference. quite a few channels spreading this misinformation.
Tell me you understand what you are saying without telling me you don’t understand. It’s hardware upscale for a start very similar to DLSS.
The rest I won’t bother with because as you’ve shown, you don’t understand.
I really like pre-am I PS5? Is treating me good but unfortunately Jamie Curtis is no longer 35 years younger in exercise outfit looking good so I think we have to make choices in life. Do you wish for the rest of your life at Jamie Curtis? still look good or do you spend an extra couple of hundred quid on an awesome console? They can fill in the gaps PS5 pro all the way I think it’s absolute Grey and something people aren’t mentioning is just the fluidity of its own menu system is just working better. This quicker you go to the store it’s quicker might be a minor thing but anything that makes that heap quicker is good for me. It’s good stuff I like it. I’m happy with it very fair commenting on this dude I think after all the negativity from people that haven’t even bought a damn thing it’s great stuff. Take care. Have a good one.
EGG HEAD ahh boi
Is worth it to me. I notice a difference in the games i play.
Who's to say the same performance specs transfer over to the PS6? Then what? It's tempting to buy the pro rn but... waiting for the PS6 seems a better choice than getting another console that has extra performances. I could be wrong idk, just saying and wondering what you all think, I'm all for Playstation.
I wanna optimize my 587 games dragons dogma2 tdm b06 is 🗑️ so I’ll take any boost I can get
PS5 PRO - OR + ?
What if: You havent purchased the PS5 at all the past 4 years and havent played the vast majority of the PS5/PS4 games that came out, would it be worth then to pay the extra $200 and get the Pro over the base (Slim) 🤔
I'm guessing the PS6 is going to come out around 2027/2028, so there is also the case of future proofing for the next coming years ... its a bit vague atm to be hounest, if it is worth it or not to plunge $700 (or more) on the Pro 🤔
If you never had a ps5, absolutely buy the pro. If you have a 5 already (you said you dont, but for others reading this..) don't waste the money, minimal upgrades for another $700. But your case specifically, when I bought the 5 on launch day, it was a MASSIVE difference in quality, speed, loading times etc. from a 4 to a 5. So for you, yeah buy the pro. But for existing owners like me, it's not worth upgrading.
Is it SHINY enough ?
When did Lex Luthor start making console reviews?
The PS5 Pro being $700 was unfathomably too expensive for me, so I went out and built a $1,413 dollar PC instead. Thanks, Sony.
Me too! 😂
lies.
