I'm going to do the same exact thing. Console gaming just isn't worth it now that there's no competition between Sony and Microsoft. Sony is going to Jack up hardware prices and release less exclusives. It's honestly time to switch to pc gaming. It'll cost 2 thousand for a good gaming pc but you can do 4 times as many tasks with it. You can create content and even start a business with a gaming pc.
The amount of Sony Console these guys make You could in the end build a beast PC and have way more better game options from one system rather than having to upgrade and re-buy new version consoles. its ridiculous.
Yeah I'm done with console gaming. A 2 thousand dollar gaming pc never felt justified until this ps5 pro announcement. Now it seems like an expensive pc is worth the price. You can do 4 times as many things with a gaming pc.
The pricepoint is a big deal if you have already spent over 500 for a console that has not even pushed the boundaries of the og hardware. It just does not make sense.
Yup. A lot of games not even pushing PS5 hardware or it's not optimized. Sony mostly showed first party games which already pushes the hardware that's why there's more gap between graphics and performance modes
I know! It literally feels like they're trying to completely screw us over. There's no competition from Xbox so they decided to jack up the price. These companies are ruthless and care nothing about their customers.

Look. If Sony went with this price hike that is very similar to how Disney raised their prices for Disney land/park/world, then its going to bomb hard. Remember that the majority of people will go with other choices at that price tag.

At $700 and the Introduction of the PS Portal, In my Opinion, Sony has also made a move on the PC Handheld Market. The PS Portal is being Reported as the Most Sold Accessory, which costs as much as a Pro Controller (An Accessory that Most Handheld Pc Owner Has), Add that with a More Power PS5 (Computer) and you can make the abovementioned argument.
This is insane. $600 for diskless and $650 for disk edition would have been about right. $700 with no disk drive and $780 if you want a drive is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE
Something going under the radar is the move from 1TB to 2TB SSD storage. If they had a 1TB SKU they could’ve maybe kept it closer to the 600-650 range. For someone like me looking at the Pro as an upgrade path, I would’ve loved a cheaper SKU with less built in storage since I’ve already expanded my internal storage for my launch PS5… which is also a disc version. So as a net new buy for the premium player base with money to burn, $700 makes sense. But as an upgrade path for their existing loyal player base…? It hurts ngl. Even if I sell/trade in my base PS5 I’m still looking at a $380 deficit ($80 for a disc drive)
I’d have to be losing brain cells to pay that kind of money on ANY electronic device, much less a damn console… with ✨NO disc drive✨My PS5 slim is working just fine😊
I paid 650 dollars for a second hand PS5 a year ago, here in Ecuador. In Sony stores, they're still over a grand. I saw a ps4 in a chain store last week that was over 700 dollars.
People laughed when Xbox didn't sell well compare to the PS5. Now Sony dominates the console market and can set their own outrageous prices. Microsoft should have invested more on its consoles.
Ppl been Saving up for the PS5 Pro are same groups that buy PS4 Pro. Look at the Fidelity Upgrade. Man i'm still trying my games that from ps4 era with all these PS5 versions. Graphics are so much better. A.i. upscaling & wifi 7 in the PS5 Pro sounds neat. I wanna see way different games though lol.
i seriously believe that a lot of people who are hardcore gamers will still decide to not buy it because of the price which makes this Sony decision a bad one in my book. Hardcore gamer doesn't mean we have unlimited money to spend on hardware... You just have to look at the dislike ratio on the ps5 pro annoncment to convince yourself...
I love that the same people telling you to buy a PC to play games better than a base PS5 are also telling you that you don't need a PS5 pro to play games better than the base PS5?!?!?!? Also, the same people telling you that Sony game output has been abysmal but are playing the same games as a PS5 on another platform and thats okay. That is the internet in a nutshell! Complain about everything because they know that people love to complain about everything even when a solution is offered.
I'm not mad at the price but I definitely understand the anger considering there's no disc drive + vertical stand is sold separately. I'm buying cus this kind of thing is for people like me but I don't blame anyone for being pissed off about this tbh
Getting it, don't need it, just want it! Skipped on PS4 Pro and regretted it. I just want to be able to experience my games with at least sacrifice as possible.
I just don't see the point when Sony is obviously going to release the PS6 in 4 maybe 5 years from now. Probably with a huge backwards compatibility push for a more complete library across all of the previous systems. That would be worth $700 in my opinion. Being able to play let's say 80-90% of the entire history of PlayStation would be a huge selling point.
That seems like a fair price. Sony isn't going to lose money on each console they sell. Nobody has to buy it. Just buy a PS5. I have no reason for it. My TV is too old. I see nothing wrong with PS5 games.
You think $700is bad? Try £700. It's a blatant disregard for the exchange rate, and UK gamers especially are getting fucked over. Thank god I got a gaming PC instead, which is not only upgradable, but mine still runs games better than a PS5 Pro.
Playstation 5 Pro is not for the hardcore. It is for the wealthy. There is a definite audience of wealthy people. Money does not mean the same thing to them that it does to the mainstream. These are the consequences of the stratification of wealth.

PS3 pricing in 2024 is mental. Here in Canada it will be 1K minimum
No disc drive? DAMN
We need a exclusive premium disc drive for ps5 pro as well
I think Sony going to have to drop the price once their warehouses stay packed with not many units of the ps5 pro selling
Thank you for the update. I'm hoping to pick up a PS5 Pro. It'll give me another reason to play through FFVII Rebirth again, this time on hard mode.
Ppl been Saving up for the PS5 Pro are same groups that buy PS4 Pro.
Look at the Fidelity Upgrade.
Man i'm still trying my games that from ps4 era with all these PS5 versions.
Graphics are so much better. A.i. upscaling & wifi 7 in the PS5 Pro sounds neat. I wanna see way different games though lol.
All I want is a Dual sense that actually doesn't have stick drift and buttons that work for a good 2 years at least.
i seriously believe that a lot of people who are hardcore gamers will still decide to not buy it because of the price which makes this Sony decision a bad one in my book. Hardcore gamer doesn't mean we have unlimited money to spend on hardware... You just have to look at the dislike ratio on the ps5 pro annoncment to convince yourself...
I heard every PS5 pro comes bundled with a copy of Concord
by this point I can expect 100% that PS6 gonna be digital only, in the future and 1K $ price tag
I love that the same people telling you to buy a PC to play games better than a base PS5 are also telling you that you don't need a PS5 pro to play games better than the base PS5?!?!?!? Also, the same people telling you that Sony game output has been abysmal but are playing the same games as a PS5 on another platform and thats okay. That is the internet in a nutshell! Complain about everything because they know that people love to complain about everything even when a solution is offered.
I'm not mad at the price but I definitely understand the anger considering there's no disc drive + vertical stand is sold separately. I'm buying cus this kind of thing is for people like me but I don't blame anyone for being pissed off about this tbh
Sony lost the plot. Absolute insanity
I have a PS5 but Sony has just convinced me to buy a PC going forward
I never thought I would be considering getting a PC
Getting it, don't need it, just want it! Skipped on PS4 Pro and regretted it. I just want to be able to experience my games with at least sacrifice as possible.
Selling the vertical stand separately isn’t even necessary lmaoo. Definitely waiting and seeing how reviews are before even thinking of buying
I just don't see the point when Sony is obviously going to release the PS6 in 4 maybe 5 years from now. Probably with a huge backwards compatibility push for a more complete library across all of the previous systems. That would be worth $700 in my opinion. Being able to play let's say 80-90% of the entire history of PlayStation would be a huge selling point.
That seems like a fair price. Sony isn't going to lose money on each console they sell. Nobody has to buy it. Just buy a PS5. I have no reason for it. My TV is too old. I see nothing wrong with PS5 games.
Double the performance with fidelity rt modes and 2 terabytes of storage $700 is understandable
Weak RT mode, mind you.
Nice price if it goes wrong just outside of the 12 month warranty window like my PS5 did.
At this point just get a pc
To quote the always quotable Bender " Ha ha ha ha. Oh wait you're serious? Let me laugh even harder, HA HA HA HA!!!!!"
No disc drive and no stand included at 700 dollars. They are bonkers.
You think $700is bad? Try £700. It's a blatant disregard for the exchange rate, and UK gamers especially are getting fucked over. Thank god I got a gaming PC instead, which is not only upgradable, but mine still runs games better than a PS5 Pro.
I just got the slim a few months ago
And it has a disk drive. I like my blu ray movies. I’m old.
They gave absolutely no justification for that price 🤷🏾♂️ I get sharper trees in the background?
Playstation 5 Pro is not for the hardcore. It is for the wealthy. There is a definite audience of wealthy people. Money does not mean the same thing to them that it does to the mainstream. These are the consequences of the stratification of wealth.
Bummed out no 8k 120FPS.
4k is good enough. Don't be fooled
@@memento6204 why tf do you need 8K

Just Sony dreamin’ and they disappointed… again.
Basically the price we pay in South Africa for the standard model
In algeria i paid for the base ps5 850 lol😂 this pro is cheaper 😅
Yes I’m getting this. Yes I’m a sucker. Yes I already purchased the separate disc drive expecting it would be discless.
Day 1 BABY!!! Let’s go!!! I expected 700.
Just like the PS4 Pro, I am waiting for PS6
I mean not to mention they upgraded the hardware more so this is expected the price to go up.
I had to down vote this video. He justified sonys ridiculous price and it doesn't even have a real cpu upgrade or a disc drive 🙄. Im super disappointed
