Oh - we still going for a PS5 Pro happening are we? Bless
You think there won’t be a mid-refresh?
With the cost of development, and the money lost in hardware, this generation is going to be a long one.
A refreshed console is inevitable.
Add to that the person who leaked the “slim”, or rather PS5 with detachable disc drive (that was what he leaked out at the very start) has also leaked details of the specifications of the “pro”. This person has proven to be extremely reliable.
It all makes sense, the PS5 was released November 2020. A Pro released 2024 will be 4 years, so about half way through the gen and will likely be bundled with GTA 6 and sell like mad….
Pro aside, I’m not tempted by the latest revision. I think it looks quite tacky with the half gloss and matte finish. The only thing that would have tempted me is a much quieter machine and lower power consumption.
From early tests power consumption seems the same, so they’ve likely just reduced the size which could have negative implications on noise.
My current PS5 has a relatively quiet fan and the coil whine is tolerable (had some previous PS5 that could be heard from 6ft away and fans that emitted ufo type noises) so I’m ok with my current unit until something worthwhile comes along.
