Working great!!! Games download fast and easy. You don’t have to deal with have shelf space for games.

Turned in my PS5 for the PS5 Pro. Yeah, the onboard 2TB is really awesome, but so is GoW Ragnarök and The Last of us @ running at 60FPS. If money is not a worry, I'd advise anyone to jump in. Loads of AAA games coming between now and the next update cycle that will mostly all by Pro Enhanced. Lovin' it. BestBuy is awesome too. My pre-order had a broken seal when I went to pick it up and one of the staff found one with the seal intact.

As someone who wasn't the biggest fan of this console generation, the PS5 Pro excited me. I felt "Finally, a true console worth of the "next-gen" promise...and then I played games with it. Outside of the design, which, lacks a disc drive, and doesn't come with a stand, this is largely a PS5. Sure, the internals are a little different, but you set it up the same, you launch your games the same...the difference is in how the games play and let me tell you...there's a difference, just not the difference I was looking for. The original selling point was no longer choosing between performance and graphic quality...but I feel like with the PS5 Pro there are even more choices. Developers have used the power of the PS5 pro, and PSSR, Playstations Ai upscaling method, to find new ways to get you to play 30 fps...and it doesn't look good enough to justify the 30 fps. ..and it's not a stable 30 FPS!! This is what we pay MORE for, sans a 4k Blu-ray drive? Moving past the console itself, I noticed when I purchased it, certain PS5 Pro-enhanced games now found themselves back up to full price. Sure...that's not the console's fault...but that is apart of the experience of getting the console, and it wasn't a good experience. No one piece of software screamed "THIS is why you bought a PS5 Pro!" and I get it, you can't necessarily develop a game specifically for the PS5 Pro, it's not the base model, it's not the top seller, it's a mid-gen upgrade for a small percentage of the overall user base...but if there's no software to justify the console, there's definitely no justification for a price increase with missing features (the disc drive). Last gen I purchased both mid-gen consoles and was satisfied with both of the purchases. This gen I'm reminded that I have a PC, and with the increased cost of game production, eventually all these games will have to land on PC where developers can truly push things to another space. Maybe going forward games are made with the PS5 Pro in mind, developers getting a better understanding o the benefits of PSSR, but right now? This ain't it.

its really awesome!!! so much faster and better graphics!!! plus I finally get 8k on my 8kTV. Am I a hardcore gamer? Absolutely not!. But when the opportunity comes to have some time to relax and play a game having a great experience matters. I traded in my ps5 slim for this and im def happy.

Gift for my grandson for his birthday and he loves it that has better graphics, more memory, and is faster expensive but I got it on sale, he plays it all the time. He can play with his friends online and talk to them through the controller

As soon as the system is turned on and providing you have the right tv, (I run my PS5's on LG OLED TV's Only), the difference is noticed immediately, the uploads and downloads, the games start up speed, the picture is off the charts amazing as well as the responsiveness of the game is quicker, I'm truly glad that I purchased the PS5 Pro.

Very fun to play on. Does give a great improvements over the original PS5. Also has 2tb of storage. Only downside is the price and lack of a disc drive.

A great performing system. If this version of the PS5 is for you, depends on factors like your budget, what your gaming priorities are and what kind of TV or Monitor you have. You won't get a generational leap in graphics and the lack of a disc drive is lame, but you will get more graphical options with optimized titles and plenty of ssd storage for games. Also, I assume future game releases will be able to take more advantage of this baby's extra horsepower.

I went from the base PS5 to the PS5 Pro and wow the difference in speed and quality on games is better and I can definitely tell the difference. If your a hardcore gamer and love PlayStation then this is the one you want to get to maximize your gaming

I haven’t had any issues with this and enjoy the graphics and how fast load times for games.

Aweosme console, looks amazing and works amazing! No issues

Great system. Beyond happy with this purchase after waiting some time to jump from the PS4 to the PS5 Pro. Anyone in the same boat as myself that has been waiting to upgrade systems, this one is a definite leap in quality from one generation to the next. Purchasing the optical drive is a must for anyone who really does want to get the most out of the system and enjoy not only games, but uncompressed 4K UHD tv and movies. While it is a bummer that PS3 games are still not available (MGS4), there is plenty to enjoy with such a large library all ready available. With a possible price hike due to ram shortages, among other things, if you're on the fence about getting the system I say do it now.

I used to be able to hear my original PS5 start to labor with cutscenes or anything with high fidelity. This thing is a trooper. My PS4 games also look incredible. Make sure you hpgrade to a panel with cutouts for the exhaust

Awesome console, upgraded from the OG PS5 of 4 years old. I play Wukong on it and the graphics appear to be much smoother, clear and crisp using Sony's AI upscaling to boost games to 4K while maintaining a higher frame rate like Nvidia's DLSS. Some games might run at up to 120 frames per second, a much needed upgrade IMHO. WiFi 7 and 2TB SSD storage is a plus as well. I highly recommend the upgrade!

Upgrading from a base model ps5, i was a little skeptical on how much of a difference there would be. While i will say this is certainly a luxury item that by no means is needed if you already have a base ps5, if you like the extra power to smooth out frames on any game or get some better graphics i think this does it very well and is a solid upgrade. Along with the extra storage you get, i dont think the extra price hike is all too bad. Overall, Im happy with the purchase.

Initially i wasn't going to upgrade from the original ps5 to the pro, but after consideration i did, and i'm glad i did, the pro has alot more space as well as it has better specs respectively, both resolution and graphics have been improved compared to the original ps5, and the load times seem to have lessened considerably. Definitely a good investment if you're looking to switch.

The best PlayStation I’ve ever had by far. Comes with a lot of power and speed also love the graphics.

Setup was quick and easy and works perfectly It works perfectly with my tv and very high resolution

Great console, plays my games very smoothly and has a lot of storage. Been a playstation fan since the psp.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Performance and Worth the Upgrade I purchased the PlayStation 5 Pro from Best Buy and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The console arrived quickly and was well packaged. Setup was simple, and the performance upgrade is immediately noticeable. Games run incredibly smooth, with faster load times, improved graphics, and more stable frame rates compared to the standard PS5. Everything feels more responsive, and the enhanced visuals really stand out on a 4K display. The console runs quietly and stays cool even during longer gaming sessions. Best Buy made the purchase process easy, and the product arrived exactly as described. If you’re a serious gamer or want the best PlayStation experience available, the PS5 Pro is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended
