Community Reviews

The PS5 Pro is mainly a premium upgrade for players who want the best console performance, especially in a few games that benefit from higher settings and smoother frame rates. It can make sense for couch play after long workdays, and the extra cost may feel more reasonable if this is the first PS5 or if specific titles like GT7 in VR or Final Fantasy remake matter most. The main drawback is that it is not a huge leap over the base PS5, and the $649.99 price feels steep for the gains. It is a niche upgrade rather than a broad must have.

  • The PS5 Pro can be a better fit for players who prefer couch gaming over PC setups.

  • The Pro may cost less through retailer options like open boxes and cashback promotions.

  • The Pro upgrade may be worthwhile for specific titles that see meaningful improvements.

  • The Pro can offer a competitive advantage by enabling higher graphics and refresh rates for competitive games.

  • The PS5 Pro may not feel worth it when a high-end gaming PC already handles demanding games well.

  • The $649.99 price may feel too high, with some shoppers expecting a much lower price to buy new.

  • Upgrading from a standard PS5 may not deliver a big enough step up for most players.

  • The Pro's value may be limited because improvements appear to be game-by-game rather than a major leap overall.

If you really want pro version $170 price gap might be worth it. Regardless one is paying a significant chunk of money for either especially 5 years since the original ps5 release

Nowadays a PS5 pro or not, is for people that can't get a gaming or a laptop PC. The amount of games that you can play in a PC quadruples the PS5, as the PS5 is limited to PS4 and PS5 games catalogue. I don't count PS streaming, as the experience varies by internet connection. Also in PC there are ways to get delisted games and other games for a cheaper price.
I have a budget MSI pc and different experience playing on it vs consoles. Unless I'm able to get games much cheaper. I am able to access the hundreds of free oc games I've claimed over the years through epic games and prime gaming but I still prefer console between either

This kind of ignorant arrogance is literally the reason why the PCMR meme exists.

I skipped PS5 all together now Sony has been putting their exclusives on PC after a couple of years of the initial release. I have a huge backlog so i can wait.

What's wild is I had a ps5 day one but I finished TLOU2, death stranding, helldivers and days gone on PC. The ps5 exclusives I've played on the console were only the Spider-Man games, horizon zero dawn, astrobot and the ghost games. Sony has some great exclusives and some I'm not willing to wait years for.

Why is a 5 year old console still garnering 500 or 600+? Because people keep paying. Demand goes down, price goes down boys

Interesting. The email alert states Costco. The thread is entirely about Target.
