Sony Interactive Entertainment Launches the PlayStation 5 Pro

got mine…

and….


not gonna happen… (just pay the tab and get one, the red controller looks really good)

but swapping the sticks for hall-effect is an “open-heat surgery” (and not really for the “ faint of heart “, but the controller is “broken“ so what is the worst that can happen? deal), but if you have a vacuum-aided desoldering station It is easier (I wrecked my controller doing the “open-heat surgery” thing using a solder-sucker.
i was do inpatient to find the solderwick, or rebuy it)
so either get the solderwick, or a desoldering station.
(the hall sticks are about 20 on aliexpress)

Well black friday is coming, however I think it wont drop as much as last year, Amazon have started listing the MSRP higher than pre PS5 pro (although so far they are still selling at the usual price). If it doesnt drop black friday, its going on my xmas list lol.

Annoying this is, I started checking every week or so back in may, then by accident missed a couple of weeks which happened to be the summer sale.

As a customer I shouldnt be expected to use a soldering device to fix or mod something I buy, all they need to do is make it hall effect as standard. Or make the edge controller the standard at same price as main controller. At the very least stick a reasonable warranty on it, one reason I refuse to buy at normal price is I plan to add the extended warranty package to it like I did on my xbox controller, I think for controllers extended warranties are a complete no brainer.

loool. That was brilliantly done!

"today a console without a stand, tomorrow without games" - yep as long as she keeps looking pretty with more lines of coke, they'll buy it!

I got mine yesterday and purchased grand turismo 7… will play that till gta6 comes out. I need get used to controller again as i have been playing on pc for so long.. i still remember my ps1 and 2. With 2 i had same grand durismo and loved it. Hopefully i will find time to play.. i did see some reviews about coil noise or something. Since u have not played anything i am not sure if there is any problem with mine. Hopefully not lol… will try some game tomorrow. Cant use any of my disk as best-buy is out of disk drive :/

Is anyone buying this? I want one, but I'm disappointed. Price is stupid and improvement seems to be unseen.

So can't justify spending more than 500. More so if it doesn't have a disc reader. I'm ok~ish renting the games, but if there is something i like i want to buy it physically . Not having that option out of the shelves is weird.

I hope it goes on sale, or old model gets cheaper soon.

Coil noise ? If anything mine is silent compared to my ps5, which is silent also.

that coil whine might be because of the disk drive.

I did

been comparing Horizon Forbidden west (ps5pro) to the ps5 version , PS5pro is slightly better (moot point if the PC is better, while i do have a 7900XTX, I do not have an HDR monitor, and IMO Win11 does not do HDR on my TVset very well, the ps5pro does HDR very well on my Sony 950g… no VRR, or 120Hz..)

in the end, the ps5pro looks better, not as “Phat”… yet, even the gray camo side plates for the Ps5 OG disc can not hide it. LOL. I am using the included stand feet.

Bypassing upgrades for my PCs this year. I purchased this instead. 4070 performance for the price of a 4070. PC hardware has become very expensive over the last 5 years, and I’m not willing to keep investing.

 

[freeagent]

I have been annoyed with Sony since the PS4. 8 months after I bought mine, they did the pro version, or whatever it was.

Sony stole a page right out of Apples playbook with their incremental updates.

 

[sepheronx]

It doesnt make sense really.

How many games are there? Barely any. Like a handful of exclusives. How many are unplayable? None since its optimized for the system. I find upgrades to be silly for consoles and it would be better to just start work on the next console. But there are buyers for it, there are people on this forums who did. So there is always a way to part money from fools.

Anyway, my PS5 non pro works fine. I'll live with it.

How do you know it's RDNA 2 still? More like a customized mobile RX 7800M with improved RT tech. Honestly no one knows, unless you're Sony/AMD engineers.

Looking at the performance numbers, I would say even less performance than RX 7800M is being achieved thus far. I am assuming that it isn't a software issue to be resolved later.

Practically the worst Playstation launch ever. Even the horrible PS Classic wasn't this bad of a release.

Practically 975EUR with the disc drive is just terrible.
