Sony is widely expected to announce its new premium PlayStation 5 Pro game console later today. The PlayStation Twitter handle posted that a PlayStation 5 technical presentation hosted by Mark Cerny (PlayStation systems lead architect) would stream later today, without specifying PlayStation 5 Pro. The announcement stream will be rather brisk, spanning only 9 minutes, but it seems enough for Cerny to provide a detailed rundown of what to expect from the PS5 Pro, since this is a premium variant of the existing PS5 generation, and not a "PlayStation 6." The PlayStation 5 Pro is being designed to offer 4K Ultra HD gameplay at native, or near-native resolution, with added eye-candy, thanks to its significantly updated graphics processor.

I thought Sony would have launched smaller PS5 this late in life cycle.
lets hope it doesn't resemble a dehumidifier this time
once you have a good pc, console doesnt mean anything anymore.
I think this wont sell anywhere near as well as the PS4 pro did.
PS5 feels lazier like less love put into it, I think to this day Sony still havent readded the force SS option to the settings, which was present on the PS4 pro to up the aliasing quality of games of it.
Lack of good exclusives is what makes PS5 useless for me right now. It's been months since I played anything on it.
Bloodborne as launch title? Right?
No wait, Sony doesn't listen to it's fan base.
And while everyone is discussing PS5 Pro, Sony low-key raised the price of dual sense controllers in a cheeky move.

Exactly as I thought they would, they will want the concord money back, grr this is so annoying, I missed the June sale, and they have been forcing all retailers to not discount, was waiting for Black Friday and now they are even more expensive, they so poor quality and wicked expensive at the same time.
Great business move, make controllers that drift frequently, give only a 1 year warranty, make them expensive, profit.
Probably will ask for a couple for Christmas instead.
God just buy a PC already, peasants. Now you're buying two similar consoles for probably the same money... A console that's practically a PC with walled garden. Different configs and experience... Deep down you know you're actually just PC gaming anyway, but with limitations and a controller plus the Sony premium on games.

I wanted to buy one but it was quite pricey as I already got a ps4 controller and now I just won’t buy it anymore since they raise the price

By how much?
I got few broken for peanut price, with drifting, swapped for hall types and I am good.

How you doing that?
Mine like millions of others has drift.
Looks like they are up from £60 to £68 in UK but Amazon are currently subsidising at £60.
Xbox are £50 as standard and go on sale way more often than dual sense.
chrcolukHow you doing that?
I use these. You will have to have advanced soldering skill thou, I have no problem with that. But afterwards you can boot the adapter part, calibrate it like different entity. There are newer Hall switches that seem to be totally drop in replacements, I use the older ones with custom PCB.
You get best of both worlds. Quality hardware, cheap and durable. I use my repaired one over a year already... that feeling, when you just disable deadzone as you don't need it.
Let's see price.
Essentially it seems disposable controllers are the new accessory revenue stream to replace the expensive storage revenue stream.
Older gen controllers, including oled vita used to have the higher quality sticks, so the shift seems deliberate as a revenue stream.
Note the lack of provided diagnostics and calibration software for the controllers as well, and that many games conveniently have no configurable dead zone.
Also found this whilst digging why Sony would want to block PS4 controllers for PS5 games, apparently it works fine with remote play, which does suggest it was done for profit reasons.
S.T.A.R.S.
TheDeeGeeBloodborne as launch title? Right?No wait, Sony doesn't listen to it's fan base.
Nah, we need an enhanced GTA V.
chrcolukhave no configurable dead zone.
I have a 2500$ camera that does not allow AF microadjustments and has known eye AF problems that they refuse to fix... they just toss their older systems with no future updates, what joystick woes :D. It IS SONY.
Just repair the old ones and save money.

Was quoted almost the full price of controller to repair it, and I think asking casual people to open these things up, buy and use soldering equipment etc. its a bit much.
They seem to be built in a way to make user maintenance as difficult as possible, no modular assembly, no way to remove sticks from front etc. The edge controller seems friendly but also even more ridiculously priced.
What's the rush for? There are still no major PS5 exclusive titles out there, with the probable exception of Stellar Blade.

Nope. They go apart pretty easy. The construction is fine. Just take a guitar pick and Philips screwdriver and you are good.
Repairing things, when you actually can and in the end make a better product is a great choice instead of buying more rubbish.

No need to be condescending. Sure, a console isn't for you, but there's no need to insult those that are perfectly happy playing on one. I've owned both over the years, and a console is really nice when you don't have a lot of time and space for a dedicated gaming machine.

You need the same amount of time to play on any machine. But a PC is at least backwards compatible with older games. Buying a new console every 3-5 years only to not be able to play my old games sounds incredible wasteful to me both financially and in space. But each to their own, I guess.

FF VII Rebirth, though it's surely coming for PC sooner or later. Though I'm not getting a console because of one or two game(s) especially if a PC port is coming later.

At least it's backwards compatible for PS4 games. :p

In 2024, people still think this way.

Having a good PC and some consoles is a win-win situation if you ask me.
