Gotta love a presentation by Mark. What an absolute bummer it's only 9 minutes though! 9 minutes to introduce a brand new PlayStation is just ridiculous. I guess the games will be shown at a later time.

Tune in tomorrow for a PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation hosted by Mark Cerny

The 9-minute stream begins tomorrow, September 10 at 8:00am PT / 4:00pm BST.

Could be tempted but I still wonder how Sony are going to pitch the PS5 Pro.

The PS4 Pro had a purpose in that it was clearly designed to support the 4K TVs that were becoming common. Plus there was a sense at the time that Sony held back on the spec/pricing of the PS4 as it never really felt that cutting edge in that way the other PlayStations have at release. It always seemed like Sony had the pro version planned from the moment they launched the PS4 IMO

Whereas I’m not really seeing the same “need” for an updated PS5 as it was pretty much bleeding edge on launch and it still feels like we haven’t maxed out its capabilities yet.

With zero 1st party titles to demonstrate it's need.
 
Having said that I’m enough of a chronic Sony pony fanboy that I’ll probably buy it regardless even if it’s only a minor upgrade :D

My PS5 is pretty much my only gaming platform so it likely won’t be hard for me to justify upgrading!

Put it this way. If Sony can’t sell me on the system tomorrow they’re in real trouble…!

Bonkers money that. Would be different if they said they had half a dozen games they can't release due to hardware limitations of the PS5.

I';d rather buy a switch 2 than a ps5 pro.

I bought the ps4 pro day one, but I dont see even a 1% chance that the Pro is worth getting when I play 1 or 2 PS5 games per year

Yeah it's my pcs turn to get a GPU upgrade later this year rather than a Pro.

The PS5 as it is is fine for me for what's out there at the moment.

Even if you play 10 games a year it's likely still going to be a hard sell. Slightly higher dynamic resolution or slightly higher uncapped framerates is still not a game changer imo

It’s kind of shocking that even 4 years after its release the ps5 still retails for just as much as it did at launch in 2020 ~£480.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the PS5 Pro is nearer £700 by the time you spec it with a disc drive!

£480 was what I also picked the Slim up on release last year.

Guess the best you can say is it was inflation proof.
 
It's definitely the ps5 pro announcement; though Sony's article does not specify the ps5 pro, a locked and hidden video has been uploaded to the PlayStation YouTube channel titled "ps5 pro"

I'm wondering what new software features aside from the obvious they'll restrict from the PS5 to tempt folks into getting a PS5 Pro.
