Sony PlayStation 5 Pro Gaming Console

The upgrade from the base PS5 is good but not great. The CPU needed an upgrade to match the GPU. The extra 350mhz only makes a slight difference IMO. While the console does boost frames for non-Pro Enhanced games and gives a slight touch in image quality on PS4 games. Most games that are Pro Enhanced are suffering from teething issues. I believe the PSSR tech will shine through after a year or two when devs have some time with it. The menu navigation does seem smoother and the 2TB SSD is a nice addition to store more games. My console seems slightly louder than the base PS5, there's a light jet engine humm once you get a game loaded up, but it's nothing serious. If you got a headset on or got your soundbar cranked up you won't really notice it. Giving it 4 stars due ... MoreThe upgrade from the base PS5 is good but not great.

If you got a headset on or got your soundbar cranked up you won't really notice it. Giving it 4 stars due to lack of disc drive and upgrades for price. The extra $700 on performance isn't there, but we may see an improvement on that down the road. My suggestion IMO: Only purchase this console if you're an enthusiast or got money to burn. By the time the Pro may start to show benefits, we'll be half way towards PS6. Which you may as well keep your money aside for that.

I love seeing all the Xbox fan boys rate this 1 star. Xbox has gone 3rd party, because Xbox Series X is only capable of 900p 30fps. So every Microsoft Game Studios game will run best on a PS5, either 4k30 or 1164p60 on the base PS5, and 4k60 on the Pro. As Digital Foundry has proven the PS5Pro will run every game at 4k60 at a minimum, some games will have 4k60 with Ray Tracing. And for those with an 8k display there are 2 games confirmed to have 8k60 modes. You could not buy a PC for less than $2000 that would match PS5Pro’s performance. I can’t believe that the Pro is only $100 more than the 2TB Microsoft Series 30fps box. It’s insane how expensive the Series Lbox is and it can barely do 30fps at 900p resolution. The PS5 Pro is approximately 50x more powerful, and ... MoreI love seeing all the Xbox fan boys rate this 1 star. Xbox has gone 3rd party, because Xbox Series X is only capable of 900p 30fps.

The PS5 Pro is approximately 50x more powerful, and has 10x the amount of games as LBox Series L and it only costs $100 more. If you are a parent and you don’t want your kid getting laughed at in school get them a PS5 Pro. Better games, better controller, better subscription service that doesn’t raise the price twice in 1 year and paywall the only decent feature behind a $400/year paywall and Microsoft has only released 1 game this entire year. So people with Gamepass have spent $400 on one game lol

The PS5 Pro is hands down one of the current-gen game consoles to own - with a hardware quality reputation (Sony) and a robust of library of titles, this thing is worth every penny if (keyword: IF) you can afford it. I have the base PS5 (which I will be giving away as a present for a family member) and I decided to splurge on this thing as an upgrade seeing I skipped on the PS4 Pro when it came out. I have noticed games loading faster, in some cases, it's instantaneous. Visual fidelity is a tad nicer although not much noticeable to the naked eye. It's internal cooling system has also been improved after watching a teardown on Youtube (iFixIt) so heat dissipation should also be improved from the previous model iteration.Walmart delivered my PS5 Pro just on time ... MoreThe PS5 Pro is hands down one of the current-gen game consoles to own - with a hardware quality reputation (Sony) and a robust of library of titles, this thing is worth every penny if (keyword: IF) you can afford it.

Overall, I am well satisfied with my purchase (despite the haters and nay-sayers) and I feel I am enjoying playing video games with more motivation.
