PlayStation 5 Pro Blog Post

I was very pissed there was no disk drive, but at least you can get it as an add-on like the Slim version (ended up reading at their blog post, don’t understand how they didn’t mention it during the stream). The 2TB SSD makes it very tempting since we have the digital version and we were looking to get a disk one.

That announcement stream was so weird. 4 minutes of Mark Cerny talking about the features of the PS5 like it didn’t come out 4 years ago, 3 minutes of explaining the PS5 Pro “Big 3” features of GPU upgrade, advanced ray tracing, and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, and 2 minutes of trailers that looked too (heh) similar to current PS5 gameplay. It’s like they know that it’s impossible to make a new console look good in trailers anymore, so they just rushed to get it over with because everyone has already decided whether or not they want to pay even more for an upgraded PS5.

At least the price for the base PS5 should come down on the used market?

Not if Pro is priced @ 700 USD lol

i doubt it performs 40% better so audience are people who got extra money and care about higher FPS

I guess my thinking was that people will sell their base PS5 after they buy the Pro, and basic supply-and-demand says that more PS5’s on the used market equals lower prices. It might not come down a lot, but I think it will come down.

Imagine paying $700 for a PS5.5

That’s usually without tax in US, right?

Yes.

That’s $700 for a digital only edition without a disk drive or vertical stand. It’s $810 to match the features of the PS5.0
