Works great! Performance is much more exhilarating compared to base PS5, to some it’s not a big change but the storage is crazy good

The PS5 Pro improves on the standard PS5 experience meaningfully by boosting frame rates in unlocked titles, and providing improved graphics in a number of enhanced titles. It’s early days still, but I’ve seen noteworthy improvements in games like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Stellar Blade, Visions of Mana, and Dying Light 2. However, not every game benefits from the increased power, and some games have been patched with changes that arguably reduce the image quality.
At $700 (or $780 with the disc drive), it’s definitely not a mandatory upgrade, but it’s nice for die-hard fans or PC gamers looking for fewer compromises on their console titles.

I’m over the moon with this purchase and Best Buy made it incredibly efficient and easy which I love. The PS5 is sleek and visually stunning to me. It’s fast and I love all of the customization you can do to your interface and menus. Couldn’t be happier!

If you like high quality gaming and have the time for it the ps5 pro is definitely worth it usually you have the option of 60 fps with performance with it looking a little worse or quality lokking really good but at 30fps on the pro you can run quality at 60fps looking stunning

I'm a bit mixed on the Pro, I knew they were going to make a Pro PS5 eventually and I held off in order to get it, but $700 (now $750 with the price hike) and no disc drive is a lot of money for a device that's mainly just to play video games. I did get the disc drive separately so I can play physical games too, so after tax I'm over $800 into this system.
If you're a console player and you want the most powerful hardware you can get, that's what the Pro is. You can play games like Ghost of Yotei and Death Stranding 2 in the best quality they can be on the Pro since there's no PC versions right now, and that will be true for Wolverine and GTA 6 next year. Having 2 TB of storage space is nice too, I still haven't filled mine up all the way yet.
But that's my hang up, at $800 I really think a PC is a better value. If you don't care about discs and catch the Pro this Black Friday at $650, then it might be more worthwhile. But you can get a decent PC for $800 that opens you up to more options like Steam, Game Pass, emulating older games, ect. and you don't have to pay a subscription to play multiplayer games online like you do on PlayStation.
All that being said, playing on the Pro is simple, you download a game or pop a disc in and it just works. PC gaming can be complicated, and a lot of people don't want to deal with the headaches that PC gaming can have with drivers updates and just random weirdness that needs troubleshooting here and there.
Ultimately, it's up to you what makes sense. If you want a simple console with the best quality that offers, that's what the Pro is. But I honestly think this is a case of paying for convenience, I really do think PC is the better, long term bang-for-your-buck route if you're looking at spending this kind of money

I love it! As a lifelong PlayStation user, the PS5 didn’t miss with looks and performance! The only downside is that it doesn’t come with a disc drive, but it’s not a problem since Sony makes it easy to install if you decide to buy one down the line.

PS5 pro takes it to the next level but you have to have a good TV to notice these changes. I have mine paired up with a Sony OLED TV and games are much sharper without dropping frame rate using the most recent PSSR technology.

This is a great upgrade if you have a TV that can actually use the upgrades this console features. This is my second pro (first had hardware failure after 1 year and 3 months, outside of warranty). I purchased this one with geek squad protection which i highly recommend. The imminent release of PSSR 2.0 is going to make this console upgrade even better!

⭐ My honest verdict
Rating: 7.5 / 10
Worth it if:
• You don’t already own a PS5
• You want the best console graphics available
• You have a 4K / 120Hz TV
Not worth it if:
• You already own a regular PS5
• You mostly play older games
• You’re fine with 1440p / standard 4K performance
For most PS5 owners, the upgrade is nice but not necessary.

I bought this to upgrade my base ps5, the trade in was smooth thanks to the awesome employees we got to help us! The ps5 pro works amazing and honestly a worth upgrade

The ps5 is great. Runs really well has plenty of storage. If youre on the fence about getting it, you need to hop off of it and go and buy one right now!

The PS5 Pro is a game changer. The improved graphics and faster load times are truly impressive. While the price tag is steep, the performance and features justify the cost for serious gamers. If you're looking to push the boundaries of console gaming, the PS5 Pro is the way to go.

Great purchase from Best Buy. I bought this to be a dedicated media player in my living room, with the bonus of being able to play video games. I have the original disc drive ps5, so thus would be a second model, and the newest! Bought open-box and waited for a great sale. I added a disc drive and glistco black plates. Added a 2 TB M.2 SSD into it, with Death Stranding 2, the Death Stranding 2 controller, and a media controller for the console. Happy with this purchase!

At first I was a bit skeptical about the possibility of getting one at the store but upon arriving at the store, I got one and I was so happy. I think the pro runs smooth than the other ones. Overall, it was a good purchase for my birthday.
