Buying 2 on launch day. I already set the money aside for it.

Depends on what it’ll bring to the table. Most games already run in 60 fps. If it’s just 4k and 60 fps it’s not worth the upgrade for me since my TV is not that big.

testing ground for ps6 so might as well hold on to your OG

Yeah and I’m already used to wait by wanting the Sony games on PC. Used to double dip but enough is enough. In some cases it sucks to wait but great games don’t age like milk so once you accept that waiting is the norm it’s alright. Currently waiting on Spider-Man 2 and Final Fantasy XVI, felt some FOMO near the release but not anymore.

Nah, got a 4090 PC last year, I am good til the PS6.
I never bought a PS4 pro. I thought Horizon Zero Dawn and Last of Us 2 ran just fine on original PS4, and then I was rewarded for waiting because both games ran even better on PS5 with patches.
The PS5pro would have to do crazy things and impress in ways the PS4Pro never did to convince me it is worth buying.

It makes no sense - ps4 pro had a use: make games look better on 4K screens.
But this thing? Even the ray tracing will be crap (4 times nothing is still nothing).

I doubt. So far I'm perfectly happy with my PS5, but knowing myself I might not be able to control myself once it's released.. It also kinda depends if Switch 2 is coming out shortly after, because then I have something else to focus on first.

If it has no tangible CPU improvements like shown in the leaked specs, then no.

I'll get one when GTA6 launches, if they're easily available for purchase. I remember the PS5 was sold out for years it seemed, so I wonder how bad the Pro scalping will be
(Ps5 pro disguised as a gtx 3070 that is)

As someone who plays exclusively in 60FPS, yes.
I feel that games now are getting very unstable 60FPS modes and let's be honest the ray tracing outside of a handful of games is essentially unusable.
Anything that allows the console to perhaps do both of those things at the same time will get my dollars. I ended up getting Dragons Dogma 2 on my PC, despite it being a single player game I would enjoy with my feet up in my living room. That's because of the 30 FPS issue.

Hell yes! I have a 4080 gaming PC but I'd love a higher end console for my living room primed for GTA6.

I'm no Sony bro but I do love new hardware so quite possibly as long as its not ridiculously expensive I think £550 UK price would be ok with a disk drive.
I still think its not actually going to come out though.

Not right away. What I want to play is good enough. Maybe minus Dragon's Dogma.
But rather build a new PC.

No way. There's absolutely no need to buy a pro. At the beginning of the year I was hyped to buy a psvr2 but we all saw where that went.
This gen barely started last year. Why would I reward Sony when they aren't releasing anything?

I built a PC for the living room, 4080 Super + 7800X3D. Had it for like a week, trying to understand how to use it without a keyboard, I boot it in Big Picture mode. The whole plan from the start has been to use it like a Pro ”console”. love it tbh! It runs everything I’ve tried so far at 4K and smooth 60fps. It’s been a serious boost for my gaming interest, couch gaming, smooth framerates, nice visuals, plus mods is awesome!
Got Atmos surround working last night, and mapped F12 to the Series controller share button to take screenshots without keyboard.

Nah. I’m not into stopgap consoles. Just stopgap generations like this one were in.

I have one in the living room too. Biggest issue for me is I have three young kids and I need to be able to suspend/resume at any time and PC doesn't allow that. If/when SteamOS is ever ready for living room PCs, I'll probably be dropping consoles the next day. I just need a few more QOL perks for living room to do so.I built a PC for the living room, 4080 Super + 7800X3D.

Probably not. Main interest was boosting PSVR2 but maybe the rumors are true and the PSVR2 is gonna have a short life 
.
Pro as a whole is definitely a waste though considering studios rarely take advantage of what is already there. The Pro is just gonna brute force stable 60 for unoptimized games.

Yeah I understand that. I have bigger kids so it’s no real problem for me but quick resume is certainly a great feature on consoles.
I’ve only had my living room PC for just over a week, still a noob on this, still learning how to set it all up.
I think the biggest issues for me was getting rid of noise. Default settings for fans made it noisy like a vacuum cleaner… And not having to use a keyboard. It took awhile to map F12 to the share button, was more complicated than it should’ve been, so as a notorious paparazzi I had a wireless keyboard infront of me, didn’t want that.
Biggest upsides has been having access to mods. And using the same purchases and saves as on the desktop PC is a total game changer! Used to only work on play anywhere titles. And having Xbox and Playstation games plus emulation on the same box. And framerates and visuals of course. And RDR2 maxed out in the living room!

This is what I use and it's amazing... I rarely see anyone suggest it but it beats having a full keyboard laying around. I just keep with with my PC controller:

That’s interesting!
I use a Microsoft all in one keyboard. It has a really chunky track pad. Sucks that F1-F12 needs a two button combo though.

True. I want it for VR more than anything for a resolution uplift and native 120fps with no reprojection. Anything else is icing, but Ali must admit, their support of the Pro 4 was seriously lacking.What’s the fucking point?

Sony is done to me this year. Weakest exclusive line since PS1. Cancel PSVR sealed it.

This has arguably been the best generation we've had in terms of tech improvements.
99% of games have a 60 fps mode. Instant loading. Haptic controllers, tons of QOL improvements to the OS
I dunno why people are so damn negative about this gen. The game quality has been absolutely fantastic too.

Because they’re just PS4 games in 4K or at 60 fps. Both console makers have let me down.

Not really a hardware problem if you’re expecting some game changing game design differences

It’d be great to see them go all out on a 30FPS only game.

I will probably buy one, despite being quite disappointed with the rumored specs.
Anyway, I was running into some games where I thought "ok, looks fine but a higher resolution would not hurt" (like Jedi Survivor, Cybperpunk...), and here the more CUs and the better upscaling will hopefully help. I guess there will be more of those games in the long run.
Overall I am still quite happy with the PS5...
