    If you already own a PS5, I wouldn't bother paying FULL price for this device. If you don't own a PS5 right now, just buy this. You'll get a superior machine with a larger storage capacity right out of the box! I would also highly recommend getting the disk drive (unless you know without a shadow of a doubt that you're an all-digital gamer). I would recommend this console ONLY if you don't already own a PS5 (non-pro version) and are OK with the prospect of maybe forking over extra $$$ for a disk drive down the line. Performance is as expected, and you can find a million reviews breaking that stuff down on YT, so I won't bother going into it here. It's fast, it's snappy, and works well every time. Also, the fact that the "PRO" version of the console DOES NOT include a vertical stand and still includes the **standard** controller is not OK (at least throw in the PlayStation EDGE Pro Controller for the price that is being charged)! Recommendations: Sony NEEDS to upgrade the joysticks in their controllers to hall-effect joysticks so that controller-drift becomes a thing of the past. As a consumer, I'd wait for a sale/bundle deal (see if you can get the console and a disk-drive for a reduced price, or the PlayStation EDGE controller).

    Even unoptimized games are great!

    It is really impressive in games that have uncapped frame rates and even improves the resolution in games that don't. On top of that, native ps5 pro ports are even more impressive with Spiderman 2 running at 40fps with VRR and fidelity ps5 pro mode. It is a little expensive and probably should have included a disc drive which is why I give it a 4 out of 5 but it is still good all around. It also transferred all the games from my m.2 drive in under an hour for twelve hundred gigabytes of data.

    Absolutely love the PS5 Pro. I have a huge library of games and they all have improved graphics and speed. The ray tracing is notably, the most eye-catching edition to past and present games. Since there are so many amazing games and upcoming games to play. I've decided to just buy PlayStation Pro models of going forward. Highly recommend especially with the new slew of games coming out this year and next year they all are going to be optimized for the PS five Pro! Can't wait!

    Got this as an upgrade in prep for some upcoming games I really want to play a console. People say the upgrade isn’t worth the $ but I can honestly say I’m noticing some true crisp differences. Also the pro is smooth, runs quiet and has a lot of display accessibility options that I’m liking. No complaints! In store pickup was quick and easy!

    Currently new to the gaming network, and I truly believe PS5 was the way to go. I was using an Xbox1 which wasn’t bad overall, but did take a while to load the games I wanted to play. I went ahead and chose the PS5 to be able to play GTA Online with my other friends who also have a PS. I think it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Great quality, graphics, and over all a very solid and quick startup. No waiting time when I start it up, it’s over all very quick, easy and fun.

    Worthy Upgrade Over Original PS5

    Enhanced graphics, frame rate, storage, and connectivity. What more could you ask for? Sony knocked it out of the park with this one. Paired with an Edge controller, this console is the best gaming experience Sony has ever produced.

    Absolutely blown away by the PS5 Pro! The upgraded performance with 8K resolution support and faster frame rates makes gameplay smoother and more immersive than ever. The new design is sleek and modern, and the expanded storage is a huge win for gamers who love digital download. If you’re looking for a next-level gaming experience, the PS5 Pro is worth every penny!

    Next-level performance! Games look stunning in 4K, and the speed is insane. Load times are basically gone. A huge upgrade from the base PS5 worth every dollar if you’re a serious gamer.

    I game on PC and PS5 and let me tell you the PS5 Pro doesnt dissapoint! It pushes all those games that struggle with fram rate, to a smooth 60fps through and through. To add to the upgrade, it uses AI tech called PSSR to give you a pixel count equal to or even better than 4k. PC will always have the upper hand but to get the same quality im getting with the Pro, i would need to spend $1600+ on a PC equivalent. Nice mid cycle for those new and for those who have upgraded their TVs and Monitors recently.

    Honestly after playing my bfs PS5 I decided to finally upgrade myself to the PS5 Pro after holding on to my PS3/PS4 and it does not disappoint. The graphics and load times are definitely better to me, but the regular PS5 is still fine as well. My tv only supports the 1440p/60 fsp/hrz so I can only imagine what the 120 fsp looks like. I think the price is reasonable for the Pro (lowkey not after taxes though because it adds like $50 unless you live in a tax free state). I remember paying like $500 back in the day for the first PS3 so for $200 more dollars to get what the Pro gives, I don’t feel too bad. I do however understand why not having a disc drive or stand included is irritating for the customer, but again for me it is still worth it. Overall, If you have the extra money, I say get the Pro. If you really don’t care that much or have a regular tv that can’t support the high features of the Pro, then stick with the regular. I play games like COD, The Last of Us and Tekken for reference.

    PS5 Pro amazes me

    So I decided to back up my original PS5 then trade it in to Best Buy for a PS5 Pro. Great trade-in experience! The PS5 Pro does not disappoint. Comes with 2TB of Console storage, thats more than 3x the storage in the PS5. I have an LG C2 which supports 4K 120fps. Played some games and I do see a marginal improvement. Horizon, Call of Duty to name a few. There are select games that are PS5 Pro enhanced, that can balance fidelity and performance up to 120fps. The only con is that there are limited amount of games available that are PS5 Pro enhanced, but there will be more in the near future. $700 is pretty steep, so the choice is up to you. If you are satisfied with your PS5 original or slim and love how the games look, then youll be fine. If you want more out of your games and you are big on tech like me, check out the PS5 Pro!!

    After waiting so long to purchase a PS5, I had to go ahead and pick up the PS5 Pro. Everything about the Pro is fantastic. From loading times to performance, I’d say the Pro is pretty much worth it if you don’t already have a PS5 like I did myself. Only criticism I got for the console is that it should have come with a vertical stand AND disc drive. There’s no reason why it shouldn’t have been included.

    If you’re getting a ps5 this is the only one to get. It has more storage more power and boy does it look good on a 55 inch LG oled. Games are buttery smooth and look amazing.

    It's quiet, has sufficient disk space, and it's better to play Fortnite with a mouse and keyboard.

    Coming from the regular PS5, I was really excited to see how games like GOW: Ragnarok would look with the beefier specs. I can confidently say that not only do some of my favorite games look better, but the higher frame rates make this worth every penny. And with the upcoming PSSR 2.0 update, it's only set to improve further!

    Best Gaming Console Experience Currently

    Good console for someone who’d want PC level fidelity on the PS platform, the resolution and performance bump on games optimized for pro is extremely noticeable and it is nice to finally play games at 60fps without graphical compromise anymore like upscaling from 720p. PSSR is very close to DLSS although it still needs a little bit more time but for being a new upscaling technology it’s impressively already almost at DLSS level. The games that ran at 120hz on base PS5 now look better with the extra gpu power. PS5 pro is a preview of what PS6 will be like. Console is extremely attractive and light weighing in at 6 pounds, a big advantage over the OG model I have.

    Definitely a step up from the regular PS5. Load times are a bit faster, graphics look and flow a lot smoother, frames hold and present every detail. Not even mentioning the storage space. Some may say they barely notice (also probably depends on the TV & HMDI cable) but I’ve definitely felt the difference after playing on it for over 2 months now. Hopped on my digital edition and felt a surreal difference in speed/resolution. If you have a PS5 to trade in, the pro is worth the purchase.

    i had to play resident evil 4 remake with 60fps and ray tracing and the pro doesnt disappoint get any ps5 and gaming pc and an oled monitor and you are set lots of 60fps locked or closer to 60 like alan wake 2 sometimes its just better to play on a console as perfect as steam is of course
