I got my PS5 slim in March of last year & never having a PS4, there are so many games that I’ve wanted to play & can now play. I still have my PS3 as well.
@@retrodull8796 Yes, if Steam and Quest VR have free online, Sony can to. But there is at least one big benefit to paid online, is that it holds players more accountable for their actions and it cuts down on the amount of cheaters. But likely Sony is mostly using paid online as a way to upsell players to playstation plus.
I love how this popped up in my recommended videos 2 weeks AFTER I bought my PS5. I was initially on the fence about buying a PS5 but then the HDMI port died on my PS4, and instead of fixing it, I figured might as well spend the extra money and future proof myself. It’s been a well worthy upgrade so far, and I can’t wait to see how GTA 6 will look on it
The disc drive edition is worth getting for those who want backwards compatibility for their PS4 game collection. Also great for playing physical media movies too.
this statement is equivalent to saying "iPhones are for dummies my oppo x6 z765 has more ram and more megapixels and is cheaper therefore its better" or "MacBooks are over priced my monster xz90 is a gaming beast I am smarter duh" when in reality a laptop's or smartphone's uses are comes down to its day to day experience and convenience while providing exclusive perks. Xbox just gave up on the gaming industry entirely they dont push for innovation or any exclusives with the studios anymore while Sony just keeps on going. You might consider a ps4 for a lower budget but even there is a ps5 pro, the ps5 is still a no brainer even for someone who is new to gaming. You sound like someone who has never touched a ps5 in their life. The library ps5 has is still huge you wouldn't be able to play everything on it even tho you had the next two years free.
Just because it dosent have 40000 games, dosent mean it's not worth it, you still get the great games that are exclusive to the PS5, along with the great PS4 exclusives aswell, and the play significantly better whether that be better resolution and frame rates
I just bought my buddies spare og disk model PS5 last month for a bargain after he upgraded to the Pro. Even got some of his physical games he didn't want anymore with it. Basically helped him recoup some extra cash from the absurd price of the Pro. Honestly though, even as a recent buyer and owner of the PS5, I would only say it's worth it if you also enjoy smaller indie titles that you can't get easily somewhere else, specifically physical versions of those titles and ONLY if you go for the original model that has the disk drive built in to avoid future DRM problems with the detachable ones. The AAA scene is a flaming wreck right now, and quality Sony published titles are very far and few in between at the moment. The best PS5 exclusive games we've gotten over the last 4 years as far as Sony published titles goes are Astrobot, Rift Apart, Demons Souls (if you don't count the PS3 original), Returnal and Stellar Blade. Not much to go off of if I'm being honest. There are a couple others, but are we really going to want to talk about Slave Zero and Concord? However, if you like collecting smaller physical titles, then there's a buttload of them out there that only get physicals for the Switch in PS5 these days and will obviously play better on the PS5. That may make owning a PS5 worth it. Other games on the PS5 the release physically and or digitally on other consoles like Xbox and switch will really depend on what console you prefer over the other. I prefer to get the majority of my safe physical titles for the Xbox, but obviously not everyone is going to feel the same way so pick your poison. To be completely fair and unbiased for a moment, I feel exactly the same way about Xbox right now. It's been hard to find any reasons to buy and keep either of these consoles. Right now my pendulum is swinging equally between the two by purchasing most multi-platform physical games for the Xbox and all the physical Indie titles for the PS5 that I can find.
You got a good deal. Not only for games but for DvD, Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray also. Look after it and it will keep you entertained when the internet is down. Get yourself a SSD for more PS5 games to go on and get an external for PS4 game storage. You won't go wrong.
@@xOriginalGamerOG76x Thanks! I'm already way ahead of you my guy! I have a 2TB Samsung M.2 that I'm putting into the PS5 and I've been rocking a whopping 8TB Samsung Sata SSD on my PS4 Pro for a couple years. Probably incredibly overkill to have 8TB but I have a LOT of PS4 games, over 600 in fact, so I wanted to guarantee my storage for it for the long haul. Been going on a PS5 shopping spree recently to so I knew I'd need an M.2 to handle it all.
@@xOriginalGamerOG76x I picked up a 4 TB from Amazon during the Xmas sales this year. Around $200 and was jazzed to find it is in addition to the 1 TB it already came with, as opposed to upgrading the internal of the PS3 and OG PS4.
@@SkyScourgeGod Another good reason to have one: like the PS3 and Vita before it, PS+ essentials will likely phase out new games for the PS4, even if a version exists for that platform. Got a handful so far. Sadly, this month is Suicide Squad. Blech.
Sony themselves don’t support the VR headset. To expect third party to keep it alive is such arrogance from Sony. I have a PS5 and it’s alright. The right trigger on my controller makes a creaking sound when it’s used repeatedly.
if your still on ps4, the answer is yes. if your contemplating on this or a PC. just save a little more and get a pc. if you need something more of like turn on and just play , you dont care about competetiveness and just wanna play the game and want it to look good just get ps5. you can play pc at a couch its not as complicated as console players think but if you dont wanna tinker with windows, updates, changing ram speeds in bios and all that (even though all that i mentioned is easy af) just get a p5 (edit : and of course just get a ps5 if you wanna play all games day 1 such as gta6)

Here’s my advice: this past Christmas I had my PS4 console since 2015 until now I finally got PS5 digital console all it takes time and patience, I wanted the OG PS5 console since it’s was bulky and bigger and I realize after all these years I’m use to the physical disc drive while I was using the PS4, it’s time for change on physical gaming I see why PS5 slim doesn’t have disc drive unless you buy the disc drive as a accessory. Anyway I love your video also great advice and “HAPPY GAMING”
The generation that doesn't have many actual current generation games only on PlayStation 5 alone. Exclusives are minimal and few and fair between. . Bring back actual Exclusives! I regret buying my PlayStation 5 in April and to be honest im playing 90% of my PlayStation 4 games .
Obviously, it is - its best days are only yet to come, this generation is still only really starting since the cross-gen era is ending just now. PS5's prime will come with GTA VI, Intergalactic, new IPs from Santa Monica, Sony Bend, whatever Bluepoint & Media Molecule are working on, possibly Marathon and more.
I want to buy one, but only the PS5 slim is available. I've heard people say it's louder and might not last as long as the OG, but they might be exaggerating.
I would not worry about it too much. My original unit I got from 2022 has a very loud and buzzy disc drive, not sure what's up with that. And it can't be replaced so easily unlike the slim which can be detached and reattached accordingly.
I own a slim and honestly it's the same as the regular PS5. I can't hear it at all like ever and it's not in the best airflow environment. If you can grab one or the other just go for it.
It typically has a more annoying whine noise but it isn't loud and is hard to notice when playing. Also we don't know if it's more reliable or less reliable than the regular model. Just get the slim unless you find an og PS5 with the disc drive for 400 dollars or less.
I recently bought a PS5 slim disc from Facebook marketplace seller at a good price who was also trying to sell their 4k monitor. My experience with it after these past 2 weeks have been pretty good! It is actually very quiet on standby mode and even when you are playing demanding games. As long as you take care of your console by having it in a place where it can get good airflow, and clean the dust off every once in awhile, there shouldn’t be a problem at all. Also, the PS5 slim is going to last longer than the og PS5 because it’s what the original should have been at launch. Think of it as a “revamp” to the original console
I've had mine for 3 years. Its not like Ps4 but there may be times it gets loud. Sometimes i leave my disc instead and watch youtube like i am now ans it would randomly start getting loud.
But when it comes to new PlayStation users like that never had a PlayStation at all and they have no digital or physical library I think PlayStation plus extra or premium is worth it for like maybe the first year before they finally start building up their own games considering there’s a lot of amazing games they would have missed, especially from the PS4 generation And do get a physical PS5 or buy the disc drive because digital is just gonna limit you personally I experience this when I finally switched my original digital PS5 with a physical slim and got persona 3 reload for 25 bucks for the physical edition which is like 40 bucks for digital
Worth buying, NOOOO, not at all ...!!! the price is still higher, even in 2025.. i mean really, it's been 5 years since it's launch. PS4 and PS3 is the great choice for you to have in 2025. Both are great console, tons of library games, yet affordable on ur wallet...
For a any console user I think, it’s worth it for the games that are only next GEN and the improvements like higher frame rates, considering consistently most games play at 60 if you want to play at 60 with performance mode available on most of them much faster, loading speeds better to quality of life like quiet cooling and not a jet engine not even just first games in general with space Marine 2, helldivers 2 best multiplayer game out here ,Astro bot, ratchet and clank Riff apart, Spider-Man 2 , rise of the Ronin if you like team ninja games, demon souls, Returnal, ff7 rebirth, dragon dogma 2 how many others Plus, future releases not just first party games like ghost of yōtei an intergalactic, which more are probably gonna get announced eventually the firm, third-party developers, like monster Hunter wilds, GTA 6, kingdom comes deliverance 2 dynasty Warriors origins hell 2025 and the future looks crazy
I finally got a ps5 to play COD6 and madden 25, one thing I’ve learned, the new gen games are a big step backwards in use ability, devs have screwed up once great franchises with overly complicated bs.
Get a slim instead of the original the original gives you 825 storage but with all the updates and everything you’ll have leftover of 667.2gb usable storage while the slim will give you a 1tb storage with a leftover of usable storage of 848gb
The facts is that the ps5 is not like the 4 where after a year of playing you got all dust inside the console . Whit the ps5 you can just open it up clean the fan n you got that ps5 clean n ready to go . I think a ps5 can have a 6 year life
Between the needlessly expensive subscription service being a necessity to get the most out of the console and so many of Sony's first party titles not being actual exclusives anymore, it just ends up making rhe system far less worth it these days compared to back in 2020 to 2022 when at the very least they still gave a dang about actually making rhese titles STAY ACTUAL EXCLUSIVES! Now Sony and Microsoft are jusy making BOTH their consoles far less worth it thanks to their lack of consistent exclusives halfway through this generation whole Nintendo thankfully doing far more better than these two ever would've been.
@@truckercowboyed2638 well you would be surprised at how hard it is to maintain an online subscription even though it's cheap (talking from experience)
@@truckercowboyed2638 First off, I own a PS5 and having experienced the glaring issues myself I have more justified reason to bad mouth the system. Second, it's starting at TEN dollars a month for the basic tier, not seven. Unless you're factoring in that with the yearly tiers, which is stupid in itself as you're trying to undermine how needlessly expensive this still is. And third, I AM able to afford it, but I refuse to want to do so when it comes to the just how.much of a price hike each of these tiers have now compared to what they were before. At least with Xbox Gane Pass, you could easily work around their price hikes and still get better deals for Live Gold and then Gane Pass Ultimate. That isn't as easily done for PS Plus.
@@truckercowboyed2638You don't even know what the word means. I'm completely DISAPPROVING of this ridiculous buisness practice especially speaking as a console gamer of two and a half decades now. Trying to defend this is more ignorant in itself more than anything.
Everyone, tell me. Give me a list of games the PS5 doesn't have. I can name a lot. - Sonic Unleashed. - Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut. - Sonic Adventure 2. - Sonic Heroes. - Shadow the Hedgehog. - Sonic Riders. - Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. - Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. - Sonic the Hedgehog '06. - Sonic Dream Team. - Digimon: Rumble Arena 2. - Digimon: All Star Rumble. - PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. - Any Super Mario game. - Any Pokémon game. - Literally any Nintendo exclusive game. The list goes on. Now, name ONE game that the PS5 doesn't have.
Imagine shilling so hard for a mediocre piece of plastic garbage. The PS5 would be worth it if it were $250. At the current price with the current offerings only idiots are buying it.
PS4 is inside PS5..alot of people don not understand this...this console is definitely for the coming 2 years future until PS6 arrives and even then it will be working for the next 4 years...hence when PS6 arrives PS5 + PS4 will be inside PS6
If you don’t have a ps5 by now you really not a gamer. Honestly I feel like it’s the only required platform. If you don’t have an Xbox a switch or a PC that’s one thing but if you don’t have nothing else this generation you gotta have a PS5
If you want a current gen console then the answer is yes, if you didn't own a ps4 then the answer is probably yes, if you already own a current gen console then the answer is probably no.
But what interest me is the PSSR technology personally I don’t think the ps5 pro worth it at all but the PS6 is gonna use it and with a couple years of Sony using that before the PS6 it might be really good obviously the PS6 still needs better hardware than a PS5 Pro Bare minimum 2 or 3 times better I don’t want it overly rely on PSSR I just wanted it be a bonus with the package I just hope the PS six is no more than maybe $600 max unless inflation and the price of technology gets that bad
I may be alone here but I’ve had the ps5 for about two yrs I’d say no. The console is rather expensive ovr with the yearly subscription hike, little storage, lack of new refreshing games in my opinion this generation of PlayStation is largely a disappointment you just don’t get the bang for your buck. If your on the 4 I’d wait for the 6
Nice video; lots of great advice and a sound layout of the facts. I appreciate it. I just jumped aboard the PS5 train. I still have older consoles, PS1-PS4, and kept my favorite games from them. Obviously, many PS2 & PS3 hits have been “remastered” for newer systems repeatedly… and that does bug me. I am hoping that the PS6 will FINALLY be the “One Console to Rule Them All”. It should be able to retro ALL PS games, from 1-5, as well as play BluRay movies in 4k, and have many connection ports and possibilities for various configurations, from high end stereo and video to a “poor man’s” setup. THAT would be a system worth investing in. I have held back on buying the PS5 for years, and only pulled the trigger on one because I wanted to play Dragon Age Veilguard. I’ve played through DA Inquisition about six times; it was time to try the next chapter in the franchise! So far I’m only marginally impressed; the graphics are slightly better, but nothing overwhelming. I do like the controller better, though. I need to test the system running other PS4 favorites to see how they fare. Again, good overview!
Yes definitely worth it but $700 with no disc drive with 2 terabytes that's cool but i got a better deal i got the playstation slim 5 for $ 550 at Wal-Mart altogether with disc drive i also got Xbox series x too i paid $ 800 back in 2021 a month after my birthday they are both good consoles
I say it's not this thing is going to get 2-3 years of use that you can't get out of a 4 before its dated. That's short for a system and there will still be some games coming to the PS5 (especially if the Switch 2 is comparable) just quite a bit less if you're getting one just now it's not worth it unless you can find it for a good discount but hey maybe I'm just a idiot who hasn't played with a console more powerful than a VCR Xbox One I've had for over 10 years.
Yeah the dual sense longevity is garbage. I've never had an issue with console controllers until now. I've had aps5 for a little over 2 years and I'm on my third controller.
I haven't watched your videos in a few years, I'm sorry. One thing I can definitely say is you still make great content. Also, you have sped up your talking. I had to put you at .75 to get somewhat close to your old style.
@@Agent311id say forza horizon is more enjoyable then GT, if you use a wheel, I have heard GT might be better with a wheel. I would recommend you play FH3 since that was a solid FH as well.
It's smarter to get the new switch. Both Microsoft and Sony are starting to put their games on it and it continues to keep it's own games exclusive. New Sony games are all going to come to PC one or two years down the line.
But playstation got no games... 😂😂😂. That phrase always makes me laugh out loud. Biggest back catalogue of games by a country mile. First party catalogue that makes Xbox executives envious and blush at the same time.
If you have DVDs or Blu Rays then the disk drive is essential
I thought I'd be able to pick one up for $50ish on sale during the holiday. Instead, they're not even available!!! I can wait.
I dont use it for that. I use the disk drive to sell my games after i'm done with them to recoup the money, and to get good deals on used games.

crazy how the price just keeps on rising for no reason whatsoever
Playstation Plus is worth it for games, and the fact it includes online. Ratchet and Clank A Rift Apart is $70 alone.

For a any console user I think, it’s worth it for the games that are only next GEN and the improvements like higher frame rates, considering consistently most games play at 60 if you want to play at 60 with performance mode available on most of them much faster, loading speeds better to quality of life like quiet cooling and not a jet engine
not even just first games in general with space Marine 2, helldivers 2 best multiplayer game out here ,Astro bot, ratchet and clank Riff apart, Spider-Man 2 , rise of the Ronin if you like team ninja games, demon souls, Returnal, ff7 rebirth, dragon dogma 2 how many others
Plus, future releases not just first party games like ghost of yōtei an intergalactic, which more are probably gonna get announced eventually the firm, third-party developers, like monster Hunter wilds, GTA 6, kingdom comes deliverance 2 dynasty Warriors origins hell 2025 and the future looks crazy
I finally got a ps5 to play COD6 and madden 25, one thing I’ve learned, the new gen games are a big step backwards in use ability, devs have screwed up once great franchises with overly complicated bs.
Get a slim instead of the original the original gives you 825 storage but with all the updates and everything you’ll have leftover of 667.2gb usable storage while the slim will give you a 1tb storage with a leftover of usable storage of 848gb
Of Course, for Astro Bot, Returnal and Rift Apart
Play spider-man, god of war, the last of us, silent hill.
@@cmart5 not exclusives
@@fenikenfire4705 doesn't mean they can't play it on the ps5 lmao... what is this logic
The facts is that the ps5 is not like the 4 where after a year of playing you got all dust inside the console . Whit the ps5 you can just open it up clean the fan n you got that ps5 clean n ready to go . I think a ps5 can have a 6 year life
So far, my PS5 controller does appear to hold a charge way better than the PS4. Don't get me started on the PS3.
Just bought a PS5 digital version 👍
Between the needlessly expensive subscription service being a necessity to get the most out of the console and so many of Sony's first party titles not being actual exclusives anymore, it just ends up making rhe system far less worth it these days compared to back in 2020 to 2022 when at the very least they still gave a dang about actually making rhese titles STAY ACTUAL EXCLUSIVES!
Now Sony and Microsoft are jusy making BOTH their consoles far less worth it thanks to their lack of consistent exclusives halfway through this generation whole Nintendo thankfully doing far more better than these two ever would've been.
The subscription is $7 per month geeze you sound poor and bad mouthing the ps5 to make excuses.........
There's plenty of exclusives but business wise it makes sense they share games between both consoles.... obviously you're ignorant
@@truckercowboyed2638 well you would be surprised at how hard it is to maintain an online subscription even though it's cheap (talking from experience)
@@truckercowboyed2638 First off, I own a PS5 and having experienced the glaring issues myself I have more justified reason to bad mouth the system.
Second, it's starting at TEN dollars a month for the basic tier, not seven. Unless you're factoring in that with the yearly tiers, which is stupid in itself as you're trying to undermine how needlessly expensive this still is.
And third, I AM able to afford it, but I refuse to want to do so when it comes to the just how.much of a price hike each of these tiers have now compared to what they were before. At least with Xbox Gane Pass, you could easily work around their price hikes and still get better deals for Live Gold and then Gane Pass Ultimate. That isn't as easily done for PS Plus.
@@truckercowboyed2638You don't even know what the word means. I'm completely DISAPPROVING of this ridiculous buisness practice especially speaking as a console gamer of two and a half decades now. Trying to defend this is more ignorant in itself more than anything.
Just bought my first PS5 secondhand a few days ago. Pretty sure it’s the og version
I also bought mine secondhand and I also think it's a PS5.
@ definitely not a PS2?
Everyone, tell me.
Give me a list of games the PS5 doesn't have.
I can name a lot.
- Sonic Unleashed.
- Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut.
- Sonic Adventure 2.
- Sonic Heroes.
- Shadow the Hedgehog.
- Sonic Riders.
- Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing.
- Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
- Sonic the Hedgehog '06.
- Sonic Dream Team.
- Digimon: Rumble Arena 2.
- Digimon: All Star Rumble.
- PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
- Any Super Mario game.
- Any Pokémon game.
- Literally any Nintendo exclusive game.
The list goes on.
Now, name ONE game that the PS5 doesn't have.
Imagine shilling so hard for a mediocre piece of plastic garbage. The PS5 would be worth it if it were $250. At the current price with the current offerings only idiots are buying it.
its pretty good worth the price
I mean. I understand where your coming from, but im honestly enjoying the hell out of it, and I've had every playstation since ps1.
already have the slim yet iam here cant wait for gta 6
Im asking myself this question...then saving the $$ lol
Go ahead and future proof yourself you will sleep better at night
PS4 is inside PS5..alot of people don not understand this...this console is definitely for the coming 2 years future until PS6 arrives and even then it will be working for the next 4 years...hence when PS6 arrives PS5 + PS4 will be inside PS6
Ps5 slim is the best Model of playstation 5 tbh
still doesnt seem to be worth it. not even for the exclusives. how many exclusives are there?
Missing a browser is it’s not worth it . I regret upgrading to ps5 from ps4
How about, don't pay 500$ for any console?
If you don’t have a ps5 by now you really not a gamer. Honestly I feel like it’s the only required platform. If you don’t have an Xbox a switch or a PC that’s one thing but if you don’t have nothing else this generation you gotta have a PS5
It’s worth buying until the ps6 drops lmao like every previous generation. This video is pointless
Ps plus extra is worth buying it is actually better than game pass.I have ps and a pc where I had game pass 2 weeks ago
If you want a current gen console then the answer is yes, if you didn't own a ps4 then the answer is probably yes, if you already own a current gen console then the answer is probably no.
Umm the PS5 is current gen we're 5 years in so the PS4 is last gen....
Nope. It's halfway through its lifespan.
Did you like your own comment?
But what interest me is the PSSR technology personally I don’t think the ps5 pro worth it at all but the PS6 is gonna use it and with a couple years of Sony using that before the PS6 it might be really good obviously the PS6 still needs better hardware than a PS5 Pro Bare minimum 2 or 3 times better I don’t want it overly rely on PSSR I just wanted it be a bonus with the package I just hope the PS six is no more than maybe $600 max unless inflation and the price of technology gets that bad
I may be alone here but I’ve had the ps5 for about two yrs I’d say no. The console is rather expensive ovr with the yearly subscription hike, little storage, lack of new refreshing games in my opinion this generation of PlayStation is largely a disappointment you just don’t get the bang for your buck. If your on the 4 I’d wait for the 6
No
This is the first system of Sony I am not purchasing. I have owned 1,2,3, and 4, but I will not by ps5.
Nice video; lots of great advice and a sound layout of the facts. I appreciate it.
I just jumped aboard the PS5 train. I still have older consoles, PS1-PS4, and kept my favorite games from them. Obviously, many PS2 & PS3 hits have been “remastered” for newer systems repeatedly… and that does bug me. I am hoping that the PS6 will FINALLY be the “One Console to Rule Them All”. It should be able to retro ALL PS games, from 1-5, as well as play BluRay movies in 4k, and have many connection ports and possibilities for various configurations, from high end stereo and video to a “poor man’s” setup. THAT would be a system worth investing in.
I have held back on buying the PS5 for years, and only pulled the trigger on one because I wanted to play Dragon Age Veilguard. I’ve played through DA Inquisition about six times; it was time to try the next chapter in the franchise! So far I’m only marginally impressed; the graphics are slightly better, but nothing overwhelming. I do like the controller better, though. I need to test the system running other PS4 favorites to see how they fare. Again, good overview!
Xbox series s review next please
I got it today.
i got my self the ps5 pro. I love it
also the disk drive
with 2tb ssd
The black racing stripes were worth it right?
@@gabhug-rl3ix AGREE 100.
@@gabhug-rl3ixtbh they do look better
Yes definitely worth it but $700 with no disc drive with 2 terabytes that's cool but i got a better deal i got the playstation slim 5 for $ 550 at Wal-Mart altogether with disc drive i also got Xbox series x too i paid $ 800 back in 2021 a month after my birthday they are both good consoles
Make a video of vivo x80 pro in 2025
I say it's not this thing is going to get 2-3 years of use that you can't get out of a 4 before its dated.
That's short for a system and there will still be some games coming to the PS5 (especially if the Switch 2 is comparable) just quite a bit less
if you're getting one just now it's not worth it unless you can find it for a good discount but hey maybe I'm just a idiot who hasn't played with a console more powerful than a VCR Xbox One I've had for over 10 years.
There’s no ps6, so yes.
Yes, it is worth buying.
Yeah the dual sense longevity is garbage. I've never had an issue with console controllers until now. I've had aps5 for a little over 2 years and I'm on my third controller.
It’s totally worth it.
Yes absolutely.
I haven't watched your videos in a few years, I'm sorry. One thing I can definitely say is you still make great content. Also, you have sped up your talking. I had to put you at .75 to get somewhat close to your old style.
ps5? Only if you never experienced a ps4
ps5 pro? Only if you don't have a PC nor ps5
i bought for spiderman and gta 6 so yea worth it
For me there's only one reason: Gran Turismo 7
its on the ps4 tho. and i got my gt7 kick via a $50 ps4 that i flipped after a few months with a $70 profit
would you recommend it for someone who has never played GT? Realistically the only real "racing" game I've played is Forza Horizon 4 and 5.
@@Agent311id say forza horizon is more enjoyable then GT, if you use a wheel, I have heard GT might be better with a wheel. I would recommend you play FH3 since that was a solid FH as well.
Yes Indeed worth buying
I’m good with my PS3 just a waste of money
How about NO.
The game library for ps5 is a joke
Same applies for Xbox.
@@Theodore574Yeah but xbox lets you play the old games, which makes me really wanna get it
11:15 😭😭😭😭
Mehh , i like gamepass .. Indy and Stalker2 have me busy
PS6 coming in 2027
Yes it is worth it
Soon or soon ps5 pro AND New game
Next time we'll see the order ps5 super pro or psp2 2027 or 2029😎👍
sure to play PS4 games
No, buy PS5 Pro.
It's smarter to get the new switch. Both Microsoft and Sony are starting to put their games on it and it continues to keep it's own games exclusive.
New Sony games are all going to come to PC one or two years down the line.
No it the pro
ps5 is to play ps4 games. ps3 wins
Not worth it. Get a pc.
But playstation got no games... 😂😂😂.
That phrase always makes me laugh out loud. Biggest back catalogue of games by a country mile. First party catalogue that makes Xbox executives envious and blush at the same time.
They have no games because a lot of us PlayStation players still have ps1-5. I’ve played video games for 37 years bro. I’m 44 btw.
No. It's hideous looking console of PS5
yes.
Yes
The pro yes
Naaaa, it’s crap
Please explain?
Wait for sale 🥱
