This is what I'm saying. Why can't they just reduce the graphics settings and give us 60fps as standard? Every console gen is the same. 30fps. I remember when my ex girlfriends sister came into my living room and was watching me play Crazy Taxi 2 on Dreamcast. She said and I quote "oh my god look at how smooth it looks" She was still playing PS1. Next week she went and bought a Dreamcast. Smoothness is severely underrated.

I think devs have become lazy in optimising game’s especially AAA ones. I imagine the Pro will be used as a brute force approach to getting higher frame rates. But the lack of games other than remakes/remasters puts me off in considering it. I really don’t want to be playing the same games again generations over as it seems to be now.
Will be interesting to see what comes of a Pro but have no interest in ordering one this time.

I managed to grab a used copy of Forspoken for a tenner from vinted. I've played about 5 hours so far - I know the reviews slated it but I'm having fun with it.
I was hoping the 5 Pro would be more like £499 but with those specs I think you are right. Maybe I’ll just go ahead and get a slim now rather than wait any longer
My issue with the last Pro was you were paying a lot more money for better performance for half a generation's worth of games. I'd want to see what sort of commitment the devs of existing titles make to supporting a PS5 Pro before I'd even contemplate it, especially given the sort of price it'll be. Plus with Sony themselves saying there are no major first-party titles due this year it's going to be a hard sell.
If it does materialise I can easily imagine it'll be a single Pro Digital Edition SKU, with the existing optical drive available as an extra purchase.

Got a bet with a friend that this will launch at a max of $699 USD - can't be more than that surely?

That’d be my guess. I reckon they’ll reduce the price of the regular PS5 slightly so we end up with :-
PS5 slim digital- £300
PS5 slim disc - £400
PS5 Pro - £600
Yeh that I can agree with although I would say:
- PS5 slim digital- £329
- PS5 slim disc - £399
- PS5 Pro - £599
I feel like the disc drive will come down in price.

Classic make it 99 to make it seem cheaper
. I thought the ps5 disc was already around 400 anyway?Haha - the most basic of marketing movesClassic make it 99 to make it seem cheaper
The PS5 disc is currently £480, with the digital coming in at £390. I expect those to come down a little - maybe not as much as I have put in my post.

Sale price across multiple retailers. Perhaps that becomes the new RRP but right now that is £479.99.
My post was talking about RRP (should've made that more clear).

I was going to ask if the PS5 Pro was worth waiting for but I found out this afternoon that Amazon Prime members can get the PS5 Slim (with disc) for £389 with a £20 discount on the current price just for Prime Members.
If the PS5 Pro comes out for the holiday season, i.e.Thanksgiving time, that's what, 7-8 months away? So PS5 Slim for £389? Worth going for now?
