Same price as PS4 Pro. Or £100 more Depending how powerful it is

PS1 and Dreamcast were dying consoles, while that was GameCube in its first year on the market.That's a real photo.
The PlayStation One also fell to a $50 price point in the early 2000's.
A brand new Dreamcast with keyboard could also be bought for $99 , as well.
What a wonderful time..

Given another chance
I’ll see what it does for PSVR2 first. Will be interesting to see if any titles get patched with new bells and whistles.
If no one bothers, I won’t.

It will be 499 without the discdrive. The normal PS5 will drop to 399 without discdrive.

I don’t see the point getting a pro if you already have the base model. Differences will be minimal considering that the games still need to run on the base model and no game has really pushed the base model to its full potential (probably GTA 6 will come close to it).

Do you just not care about performance?
Say the next 5 games you were most looking forward to playing all were PS5 exclusives and ran sub 30fps with bad frame pacing and sub 4k on PS5 with no performance mode, but on PS5 Pro they ran a perfectly locked 30fps or even (though unrealistic I think) a perfect 60fps at 4k.
Still 0 interest?

You may be right here. Also a highly priced PS5 would have improved PS5 availability at launch and maybe lowered the averaged selling price.

I would honestly pay $799 given more context. Anything above $600 there has to be significant day one games.
I think they launch it at $599 without the disc drive included and with just a few games that get updates but then the flood gates open in 2025.
My guess for 2024 "PS5 Pro Enhanced" games:
Astrobot
Rise of the Ronin
Stellar Blade
Spider-man 2
Miles
God of War Ragnork
Horizon Forbidden West
The Last of Us Part 1
The Last of Us Part 2
Star Wars Outlaws
Call of Duty
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Silent Hill 2
NBA 2K

It needs to be £499 and it needs to make a tangible visual difference to the games in order to make me jump, same visuals at 60fps as OG PS5 at 30fps is not enough for me

I would do 699 as a max if they upgrade the cpu to zen 5
playsaves3
Member
I mean 699 is my max but it has to have the performance of a 4080 and an upgraded cpu if they charge that otherwise I wouldn’t go more than 599
playsaves3
Member
I should add as well 700 would only be acceptable if the cpu is upgraded

Here’s how it works for me the current leaked specs I wouldn’t pay more than 499 for without a disc drive. I would pay 599 without a disc drive if they upgrade the cpu to zen 4 or preferably zen 5 I’d pay 699 without a disc drive if they upgrade the cpu to zen 5 with 3d cache as well as get a full Rdna 4 gpu that’s equivalent to a 4080 id pay 799 if they give it 20-24gb of memory and everything else in the 699 category but the gpu instead is 4080 super tier or a bit above these are my standards and nothing less and above 799 I’m not paying there really won’t be anything worth unless they are aiming for 4090 tier

Anyone willing to pay $700 for a video game console has more money than sense has enough money to give me Gold right now.

I can't imagine a reality in which Sony prices a console more than $599 anytime soon. The launch of the PS3 hurt them badly. Yes, there has been a lot of inflation in the last 18 years, but in the mindshare, $599 is still not a mass market price for a console. My guess is that they'll drop the Slim to $399 and start selling it exclusively as an All Digital system with the ability to buy the disc drive separately as an add-on. The Pro releases for $499 as an All Digital system or maybe $549 if the drive is built in. I don't think they'll be going with the built in disc drives like in the launch PS5.

Had to look this up because I found the woman so familiar and I was indeed right:
This is Malena Ernman, a famous swedish singer. Now that probably doesn't ring a bell to most people but what if I told you...
The woman in this gif is Greta Thunbergs mother.
Edit: Alright I went way too far into the rabbit hole with this one... this is one of the wierdest performances I've ever heard/seen:
Sorry for off topic post folks

I bought a PS4 Pro and loved it because at that time I had just bought a 4K TV so it was timed perfectly.
I own a PS5 but I am not sure I will bother with a PS5 Pro based on the disappointing specs (certainly as far as the CPU goes) as I already own a PC that is far more capable than the PS5 Pro will ever be. Besides, Sony now release PS5 games on PC, albeit with a delay of 18-24 months, so there isn't the same excitement for owning a new console as there was back in the PS4 Pro days. I suspect I will just choose to wait and play PS5 games on my PC instead. That £500-£600 that I would have spent on a PS5 Pro can just go toward a future PC graphics card upgrade anyway...

I mean it’s gonna be $599. Or at least one of the options for it will be $599. It’s just common sense. It’s like asking when a new consoles launch in the fall is going to be. Clearly either the week before Thanksgiving, or the week before that.

Why are you still talking about the 4080? Just go build a PC with one if you’re so obsessed with it.
We got some of the specs and it’s clear as day Sony was never targeting high-end PCs (what a surprise). It’s just a PS5 with a better GPU, ray tracing, and image upscaling technique.
If you so desperately want monstrous specs, either build a top-tier PC or wait for the PS6, but even the PS6 will still be only equivalent to a mid-tier PC of its day.
Those PS5 Pro discussions always get hijacked by people wanting a much better CPU or GPU and that’s utterly pointless.

Shit, I wish I could pay $500 for a Pro.
I just don't see the PRO being less expensive than the PSVR2.

I already have a PS5 and I'm not paying more money for what will likely be a very similar experience but with a resolution boost. Games that already underperform are not going to magically run so much better. Developers are responsible for releasing games that take advantage of the hardware and I don't feel like that has been happening. Obviously this is a wider issue with the industry and not specific to Sony.

I've got a couple PS5s. A third would never get touched so I'm going to sell one to help pay or put one back in it's box for collection purposes.
I think I have a working system for just about every console in history, except the rare ones.

My guess it's going to be $549 with PS5 digital dropping to $349 and PS5 disc dropped to $429. I'm willing to pay as much as $699 for the Pro!

Definitely $600. No one is going higher when people were already complaining about $700+ PS5's at launch.
