SEVEN HUNDRED US DOLLARS!
Sony costumers need to remind them of the PS3.
Is there an eli5 on how "ai upscaling" is less (or even equally) technologically demanding than just putting in better hardware?
It started as good tech to make GPUs last longer, but now is a crutch that even top notch hardware like a 4090 needs to actually achieve playable performance with ray tracing at high resolutions. And that hardware is already way overpriced, imagine the price of something that could do it natively.
What game would even justify that price tag lol and no disk tray.
What do I do with my PS5 discs if I buy the Pro one day? Are they just unusable? Will I be able to get a digital copy for free since I already paid them for the disc they stopped supporting?
It seems like there's no sane migration path from PS5 with disc drive to the PS5 Pro.

Great video showing the difference of the two
I do feel for Sony's PR teams. Trying to explain the concept of visual improvements in 4K over Youtube's increasingly vaseline-smeared compression is an impossible task.
I don’t see the point in this. I’m already planning to get a PC (and a Radeon 7900 XTX will always outperform a PS5), so it’s just more money for no benefit.
Not really on topic, but AI upscaling is no joke. It's actually very useful and saves alot processing power. Same with the extra fps, making a 30fps into a 60fps with ease.
I don't know if It turns out that I was stupid for not buying the original PS5 or holding out for a Pro one even from back then.
I was looking forward to this a lot because I could get the better version from day 1 and have a lot of games to play from taking and borrowing my brother's disc games.
I guess I'll get the XBSX for GTA VI when it comes.
Not like holding out matters now, they just raised the price in Japan for the 3rd time, second wind said the controller got 5 dollars more expensive, you can only save with used nowadays.
I can't see how this is worth it for anyone. Are there even games that are pushing the current PS5?
No disc drive either.
No disc drive either.
I'm out
There are games that perform poorly, but to my understanding that's not the hardware's fault
