Poll: *The Official PlayStation (PS5/PS5 Pro) Thread*

[Craterloads]

I assume the same disc drive for the slims will fit in these?

lol after trashing it I’m doing mental math, how much can I get for my base ps5 and how much extra it would cost no no no don’t even entertain it

Looks like I’ll be able to get one easily going by the replies in here.

Maybe they didn't mention it because it's only a 10% uplift.

They didn't really mention that it's also apparently got a 2TB SSD (not that justifies much of the price increase), but at least it would have been *something*

This thing shouldn't be costing more than £580 at current exchange rates and 20% VAT.

You're comparing against USD? USD is without any sales tax.

 

[Armadillo]

So he leaks (design wise) were right, only ugly consoles this gen, hopefully PS6 looks nicer.

These will drop in price like a stone, or added goodies like the fancy controller or headset or big ssd.

I don't care about US sales tax that's their problem, I'm simply doing the calculations based on their dollar pricing and it's way off, sales tax or no sales tax.

What's the internal storage, still 1TB?

 

[Mull3t]

For a handful of games being updated to run on the pro that I’ve most likely already completed and a few more pixels here and there I think I’ll keep that £700 in my pocket…for now.

2TB apparently

 

[rare]

The announcement was so bad they didn’t even tell you how much storage it came with they just hit you with the huge price.

Why didn’t they mention that it had a 2TB drive? Seems stupid to not even bring it up. They didn’t even try to justify the price point. Come on Sony…

yeah, day one for me, ordering a drive today to be sure its not sold out. Honestly can't wait. Looks like a cracking bit of kit. Will recoup £300 on my original PS5

 

[Mark1989]

Even with a 2TB at £700 it’s going to be a very hard sell!

That price instantly put me off as the jump from my PS5 isn’t enough

Aye same. Will offload it onto someone at work. Or maybe give it to a family member.

It's £24 more expensive here than the US, if disregarding tax, if my maths are not failing. So I'm not sure where you're getting 'way' off.

Take VAT off then ... apples with apples

 

[rp2000]

PS5 digital = £389
PS5 Pro digital = £699

45% more powerful, 80% more expensive. Hmmmmmm......
