Wait for the Pro?

It's going to be more expensive than the base and by then trade credit will be half as much.

Trade and hold.

That is if GameStop doesn't go out of business by then….

Quote from hotwheels12345 :
The slim has a slimmer chip (new process or whatever) too so slightly less heat, but they skimped hard on the heatsink to save money and size so you end up getting less cooling with no real gains but it sounds like more fan noise in a smaller box. Still you would get the new console unboxing feel with a new controller and Spider-man 2 for your trouble.
I think the original PS5 was updated to include the 6nm Oberon Plus chip that the Slim uses. If you have the first edition PS5s, then yes this is true as that used a chip from a 7nm node. Both are part of the same N7 family of processors, which is disappointing since the Slim should have used something else entirely (the PS5 Pro likely will and I would recommend waiting for that). Agree with the skimping on the cooling solution; these kinds of shortcuts seem to happen with later iteration of products as inflation / manufacturing costs go up.

They're tied to your PSN account. You can just redownload em to your new console. If you have PS+ you can backup your saves to the cloud.

If it was a special edition console I would consider it, but the slim isn't all that slim and everything else is negligible. Not worth the hassle or 82$ in my opinion.
Agreed - unless I didn't already have a copy of Spiderman. Then, I might be tempted. Still, I have no qualms with my fat PS5 and I could put that $65 + tax towards a 2tb SSD to throw in the thing.

Is this a good deal? I sent my PS5 once for repair, and I am always afraid that it will go bad.

Now my PS5 doesn't have any warranty. I keep hearing rumors that the Ps5 pro will be out soon

Quote from Cheapmelonsoda :
I agree that it's not a bad deal if you consider it as a paid warranty extension. However the PS5 Pro is rumored to come out later this year so it might make more sense to wait for that IMHO.

In terms of making your money back via selling the code, people should be aware there are A LOT of digital copies of Spiderman 2 on the market so you won't be making anywhere near $65 unless you you find someone clueless.

Also... Not to throw shade but, a properly functioning PS5 (even the launch model) should never sound like an airplane taking off (even for intense games) unless it's been seriously neglected in terms of cleaning... (or you've just never experienced the PS4 or a gaming PC.)
Pro doesn't mean anything. These ps5 games aren't optimized for " pro ". If you ask me, it's a waste.

Hopefully this comes around again when the PS5 Pro comes out.
