The $700 PS5 Pro is Too Much for Too Little

Sony just announced their most expensive PlayStation ever. But with everything it's missing, is it even worth it?

Cost aside, the inconvenience of having to buy a stand/disc drive for a premium console separately is just a joke.

Do not buy it. This will force them to seriously reconsider their decisions when they release the PS6. If we buy the PS5 pro for this price, they will charge us at least 1000 dollars for the PS6

SONY: PS5 Pro is perfect to play your PS4 games

Even IGN agrees the price is absolutely crap. Sony just want to do everything to fleece customers.

$700 to play old digital games ✋😐 not this time Paystation not this time.

[MrJaY-Actual]

IGN keep this guy
Let him keep it real 😅

[recliff]

Sony be like: "If people keep buying the new iPhone every year @ $1k each then they can absolutely afford the new PS5 pro".

My only issue with this whole Ps5 Pro thing is that there's NO GAMES. How are you going to release a more powerful console and show old last-gen games running on it? Where are the NEW games?

This should have been $550 at max end .. they took the $450 digital version and added some GPU and asking $700 .. Insane .. I'm glad everyone is calling them out

[noirangel]

PS5 Pro - $700
Disc Drive - $80
Stand - $30
Decent game - $35 to $60

My wallet: Dafaq??

It makes the Base PS5 look like a good deal for prospective buyers.

[epsilon]

when even ign is commenting on the terrible price then you know you have really gone and fudged up

[wylerXL]

How gaming companies respond to rising cost:

Sony: Release PRO model with no disk drive and stand for $700.
Microsoft Xbox: Lay off 650 staff.
Nintendo: Release Holiday Switch bundle with Mario Kart 8 for the nth time.

[markorollo.]

skipping this, i'll settle for the slim with disc drive.

[MountainMXOfficial]

Even IGN isn't going to let this stand 🤣🤣🤣

"A Fool and their $$$ are soon parted."
Sony- "We accept those terms!"

ign not getting invited to the sony Christmas party this year

[MemTrk]

When a console sells for 699. That becomes close pc territory. No brainer.

if you think US prices are bad its honestly worse in the UK LMAO...

[cinemapigeon]

Should be $650 with disk drive included, then it could be considered a great value for those who want it. Sony also should have shown off actual new games as opposed to literal PS4 titles. Get GTA 6 footage, Ghost of Tsushima 2 footage, etc... Showing off 4+ year old games with slightly clearer images (over youtube) is wild.
