Jake tinder bio reads: I love long walks on the beach... With my Playstation.

He brought it to the beach for a photoshoot 😂

I wasn’t originally interested, but when I saw you holding it in front of the ocean, it is now intriguing me.

The B-roll, the shadow puppet, the lighter. 😂 A lot going on here but I loved it all haha

[KenDAKLever]

Don't worry.. I'm not buying it

The PS4 Pro was awesome and it was the same price as the ps4 at launch, oh and came with a drive.

Due to shortages, I got my PS5 almost 2 years after launch. It's too close to do a minor upgrade. I will probably just wait for the PS6 and have to wait 4 plus years for it to be available. Most of the games I play are just PS4 games anyways.

0:32 who see’s the lighter? Bro took the PS5 and a spliff 🌳 💨 to the beach 😂😂😂

800+ dollars for a sidestep generation console is wild!

[treygarciaRoD]

it's crazy that we live in a time where "uh well on some games you already played there is a little less compromise now" is a selling point for a $800 "pro" version of a console during a time where most big games are trash. The PS5 should have came with whatever the pro version now has. The normalization of greed and ignorance towards customers is disgusting.

I have to take my PS5 Pro to the Maldives soon for work, so I appreciate you showing us what it looks like at the beach.

i just turned 18 and in less than a year i'll be off to college. the last console i've ever bought was my switch in 2017 and i bought a pc in 2019. i plan on using the ps5 pro as my main dedicated console for gaming, and i need a console with high graphical and performance power. i'm very excited to go buy the ps5 pro and experience all the games i've always wanted to without relying on my pc's lack of performance. i've never owned a prior playstation in my life, so i'm not concerned about backwards compatibility games and what not. i'm not worried about a disc drive because i dont own or have owned and previous physical playstation games, so to me the ps5 pro is the best option for me considering what i value and don't. i'm excited

Jokes aside, this shows that consumer technology is already so good that anything new doesn't improve much upon what we already have. Not just consoles but games (graphics), GPUs, phones, tvs, cars etc. No more big improvements. Technology is stagnating

The ocean in the background is more impressive than the PS5 Pro

[Rhadoo]

What do you mean paying for the vertical stand is something that Playstation's been doing forever?
The C chassis PS5 was sold with an included stand, which can be used either horizontally or vertically.

The most exciting thing about the PS5 Pro was wondering if it'd fall off the fence into the sand in that shot.

2:36 the hand shadow art is on point 😂

[MoonBunnyLovers]

The B roll is the highlight of the entire PS5 Pro launch. Sony needs to hire you guys

[spiderwraith]

2:40 love the guy making shadow puppets on the side of the console, made me chuckle

a friend of mine bought the Pro, then went out and got the high refresh rate tv to take advantage of the new higher refresh rate. THEN he picked up an expansion m.2 drive for his PS5 games, and an 8TB external drive for everything else. He's my friend and I love him, but he never goes part of the way - it's all or nothing. Weirdly, I'm not jealous - but i guess i'm happy for him? Two days later and he's still re-downloading his entire PS library to the Pro. I do know that i will never hear the end of it, though, bless his heart.
