All of my games are on disc, and I can't find a disc drive anywhere, so no point, Playstation! The fact that it doesn't come with one OR a stand for THAT price is kind of a joke, actually...
I live in a small town and I'm also 45 minutes away from 2 big cities that has 7 Wal-Marts, 2 best buys, and 2 targets and they have pretty much anything I need for my PS5, I've seen everything in stock from Portals, unique controller colors, PSVR2, SSD M.2 drives. Only thing I haven't seen in stores are console plates/covers
Sony wants to force players to jump on all digital imp. Very rude and unprofessional..they want to invest less money in development meaning no discs and all that comes with it ergo no disc drive comes with the console anymore. Lame move.
When I bought my PS4 Pro about year after it's release, I paid about 430€ for it. It also ALREADY had a disc drive. I think the PS5 will be enough for me. The price for the PS5 Pro is just crazy.
@@dudewhosadude Wait until the PS6 comes out if you think this is expensive, hardware and Devolopment isn't cheap, Sony were making a loss not profit on the base PS5.
One thing to add to that is there is no cheaper price for AAA either. At least there is a price difference for some indie games when comparing digital to physical. Plus physical tends to get better sales at times, or second hand use.
@@James-c6t3n have they because as we speak iv just tryed to finish the plat on silent hill 2 remake on the ps5 pro and its still flickering on both modes.
i really don't mind playing my games at a low resolution with a high framerate because at the end of the day graphics mean nothing would maybe have considered for the extra storage but there is no way i'm paying that much and have to buy a disc drive and a stand
PS4 is a pretty good place for PlayStation games. Access to many classics (they've been adding more PS1, PS2, and PSP games the past year and a half) and many newer games too.
Yep it feels like I’ve polished my eyes. I use a LG CX and most of the titles I’ve tested have been a night and day difference. Will only get better in the upcoming months too as patches for more titles come in.
I went from thinking, “Sony must be insane with the price point; I'll stick to my PS5 and OLED,” to pre-ordering anyway. Once I watched tech videos, I understood the difference, and you can definitely tell the difference between my PS5 and the PS5 Pro. I have no regrets.
Yeah when you're not ignorant it's easy to see why it's 700. Probably would have been no more than 600 with a drop to base ps5 if costs would have went down.
The price is absolutely ridiculous, and the console doesn't even have a disc drive! It's disgusting how some people will spend this much money just to get slightly better visuals.
@@uishido8845you can upgrade PC over time, get a better experience, more games on steam at cheaper prices and have access to Mods. Why pay $700 to limit your options for a worse experience that is going to be irrelevant in a couple years.
It makes your games you have better because you can't afford any new ones now thanks to the price of this thing, and so you're forced to play your old games again, thus getting more out of them.
DF and people in general focus on the negatives. I own one and titles like Stella Blade, Resi 4, FFXVII Rebirth are a night and day difference on the right TV and PSSR will only improve with time.
@@bollywongaloidPointing out the negatives is not the same as solely focusing on the negatives. It is an expensive machine for the upgrade you’re getting. So it’s right for them to give an honest review
I swear what is the problem with people like you stop telling other people how to spend their money, and yes this is their job, no need to insult them for that, the dumber thing is the pro is clearly selling very well so a lot of PlayStation enthusiasts want the thing too! 😂 Acting like it isn't selling, just silly
@@uishido8845 yeah, you are experiencing what we call "damage control" which is a subgenre of denial you wont agree before month you spend so much money on something not worth it this is a well documented symptom, but dont despair, you will pass that state eventually
If PS5 is your only gaming device. If you have pc (which I have PS5 and PC) that number drops to single digits (as that number is limited to PS exclusives)
@@Luke973T Not at all. Why would someone spend $700 or even an additional $400 if they trade in their existing PS5, if they already have a PC that is better than the Pro? All current games will run better on PC and Sony exclusives will come eventually and look better than on Pro. SO yeah, if all you have is a PS5, the logic tracks.
£700 in UK which is more like $900 and if you want a disc drive its another £100 which is about $125, so for the full experience you have to pay $1025 and you still dont get a stand!
@@Luke973T Who is it aimed at? Are you saying Sony put out a console only for a certain group of people, priced it as high as they did, and then gave a middle-finger to "most" of those people that made the PS5 as successful as it is, and said too bad this isn't for you? That doesn't sound like the smart play to me.. but whatever floats your boat.
Not worth. My PC is better and the 3 PS5 known (all exclusives) I'm not buying the same console again for 3 games (any game I get I get on steam unless PS5 is the only option)
Better? Spider Man 2, Alan Wake 2, Slient Hill 2, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Stellar Blade and many others have entered the building. I know your a Playstation channel but damn $700 for a console that can't play the already limited library is pretty embarrassing.
It's gonna be $1,060-ish USD where I live, inclusive of stand and disk drive. Maybe someday, just to complete my PS family, but for now, I'll keep enjoying my base PS5 since I just got it a year ago...and don't even yet have an ideal TV/monitor for it yet.
It seems people simply do not understand the devolopment process. Now that game devs have access to the Pro's PSSR and GPU power. You will soon have new games that will use this tech as a base, And PS5 base will have missing features from these games. GTA 6 is still far off, but it will be out long before the PS6, it will be interesting to see what Rockstar do with PSSR and the extra Teraflops.
