No way lmao.
Barely touched my OG ps5, waiting on some hits.

 

[thegame983]

My digital ps5 cost €400.

€800 is insane.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Very expensive.

But I'm really looking forward to playing games on this machine! <3

 

[MarkMe2525]

All the xbros crying right now after telling everyone most gamers don't care about 60 fps. 3 quarters would rather pick performance mode over fidelity. £700 is pretty high but its for enthusiasts anyway.

I see a thread full of people upset, but it's not "xbros".

 

[Hookshot]

€800? Thank god for Brexit!

 

[Physiognomonics]

The promises are good and he really focus on the most important: Doubling framerate of fidelity modes.

 

[Bond007]

$700 and digital.
Wow i may have to consider skipping this. Its basically an insult.

I am physical all the way so that stings- then slap the high price for a digital console. Will wait on analysis etc to see if it ends up being worth the jump.

 

[Schmendrick]

well, it`s a PS5 with more hardware power. The price is surprisingly high, but aside from that I don`t know what people expected from a 9 min format?

Nvidia:

Your going to go nuts when you see that PSSR is not on DLSS level…

 

[Evil Calvin]

The Concord of new hardware.............

 

[Dimitroco]

800€ and no disk drive what the fuck

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

 

[twilo99]

prepare to say goodbye to 499 consoles if thats the case...

Luckly Sony aren't the only ones making consoles...

 

[Zathalus]

Hey guys, let's all celebrate the downfall of Xbox. No ways could this lead to any issues with competition in the home console space.

 

[CloudShiner]

Love everyone complaining about the price. Hopefully I have no issue buying one now.

Yep, if it stop some from buying then all the better for me

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Your going to go nuts when you see that PSSR is not on DLSS level…

oh boy. PC Boi

This shit is already DOA.

 

[SlimySnake]

£700 for the digital. Are they stupid? Talk about regional pricing.

Profit over everything. PS4 pro was 13% market share. This will be less than 5%.

I wouldve been willing to pay $700 if it came with a disc drive but this shows a clear disdain for their most hardcore customers who still value physical.

 

[Mephisto40]

You did it Sony, you made PC gaming look like it offers better value. Well done.

Show me a PC that costs £700 that does RT and 60fps at 4K

 

[Wooxsvan]

Joking? That can't be serious. Right?

nope it was running at 30 in that video

 

[SakkanartSilentJealousy]

They've everything beyond my expectation in just freaking 9 minutes.This beast is so damn expensive.

Glad many of their 1st party games was shown and already run on the pro. GT7 RT in game yesss.

 

[Lee49]

£700 and no disk drive?

They can fuck off at that price, especially as I mainly physical game anyways with the odd exception. Would make my physical collection redundant.

Actually absurd.

 

[Bernardougf]

Jesus fucking christ. That's gonna be like 10K SEK here in Sweden...

Why the massive EU tax?

Because sony dominates EU

 

[LordCBH]

Would have been in for $599 + Disci drive. They can eat my whole ass for digital $699.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I am assuming** the existing disc drive (another 80 USD) will work with this console.

 

[NonPhixion]

Cerny looks like my mother in law now. lol

Well I guess you know how your wife will look when she's older. Lucky guy

 

[midnightAI]

I got laughed at when I said $599... lol

$700 for some Forza Motorsport features

You got laughed at because there was no way it was going to be as low as $599 not that $599 is too expensive

 

[Sleepwalker]

Your going to go nuts when you see that PSSR is not on DLSS level…

Shh... they will stone you in this thread.

 

[Fake]

Kutaragi approves. Just get a 2nd job!

I gonna see Sony fanboys using this lmao.

 

[Topher]

No competition. Here's the result

 

[Stafford]

800 euros? Lord almighty they have gone bonkers.

Here I was thinking 700 was a lock, maybe even 650. Lmao

 

[StueyDuck]

i can't help but feel they could of held onto this for another year and tried to get the costs down a bit.

like what is the rush, unless MS is about to do the same thing for a fuck ton cheaper this seems doomed to reach psvr2 numbers

 

[Lillie]

conversion rate in CAD is 950.. not sure if they will charge that here or subsidize a bit but it's not worth it at that price

 

[Evil Calvin]

They probably kept it the same storage size to help keep costs down

1TB (825 GB usable) is waaaayyyy too small in 2024 with most games 100GB+

 

[mayham2199]

Xbox could make a come back after this joke. Make a Series XXX, price it at $600 and it has a disc drive. Oh, and one more thing...

"Steam support"

No they couldn't.

 

[Little Chicken]

You got laughed at because there was no way it was going to be as low as $599 not that $599 is too expensive

No, they said it was too expensive!!

 

[NeonDelta]

Pre orders go live 26th September.

I'm on the fence now. Not sure I play enough games to justify that. And I've platinumed al first party games I'm interested in. I'll pre order but if they don't announce some bangers for next year before release then I'll prob wait or upgrade my pc

 

[Nonehxc]

Eurobitches we are paying 880 dollars so NOPE.

 

[bundylove]

700 fucking dollars.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Jesus fucking christ. That's gonna be like 10K SEK here in Sweden...

Why the massive EU tax?

US prices are without tax.

 

[Fermbiz]

You guys must be poors. This is chump change to me

Spoiler

 

[OverHeat]

oh boy. PC Boi

See you in November and see if I'm right

 

[mclaren777]

no drive = no deal

I enjoy watching movies on my PS5 and I'm not buying a clunky add-on for a $700 console.

However, I'm curious about the SSD size. If that's a 2TB machine, perhaps the price is less crazy.

 

[Hugare]

Yeah, that will be a no for me, dawg

 

[DanielG165]

I'm not sure what anyone was expecting with the price here. $699 always made sense to me, as there's no way Sony would release a "Pro" console for $499. That said, I'm… Whelmed? Obviously it'll be an upgrade from the standard console, but PC has spoiled me to having my cake and eating it too I guess lol. Still, for people who want more out of their PlayStation, this is the system for them.

As expected, like with the old Pro consoles last gen, most the upgrades are in the GPU, so genuine current gen games that run at 30fps now, will likely still run at 30fps on the PS5 Pro, with simply higher fidelity and resolution. Space Marine 2, for example, won't run any higher in Quality mode, though performance mode may hopefully be more stable for PS players. GTA6, unless it has two different modes, expect it to run at 30fps on the Pro as well.

 

[DryvBy]

Welcome PlayStation 5 Pro, the most visually impressive way to play games on PlayStation

Features including GPU upgrade, advanced ray tracing, and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution take players to new heights.

Disc drive is $80 more and that's what they expect us to use. LOL

$780 for a PS5. F off, Sony.
