    The performance is crazy smooth — no lag, no nonsense. Graphics look insane, like you’re literally inside the game. Load times? Basically gone. You blink and you’re already playing. And that 2TB space? Huge W. I got all my games downloaded, no more deleting stuff every other day. Finally feels like a next-gen console for real. Controller still feels elite, haptics hit different, and everything just runs clean and fast. If you’re thinking about upgrading — don’t even hesitate. This ain’t just an upgrade, it’s a whole different level.

    I bought the Sony PlayStation 5, and honestly it has been one of the best purchases we’ve made. It works incredibly well — it’s fast, the graphics are amazing, and everything runs very smoothly. Beyond the technology, what I value the most is that it has helped us spend more quality time together as a family. We’ve been able to play together with my daughter and my wife, and it has become a really fun way to share time at home. I definitely recommend it. It’s an excellent console and a great option if you also want to create fun family moments.

    Definetly worth the purchase before the price hike with the updated pssr2. Games are smoother and sharper. Significant frame rate improvements to ps4 games as well.

    PS5 PRO

    The PS5 Pro is exactly what I hoped for. Games look noticeably sharper, smoother, and more detailed especially with the higher frame rates on supported TVs. Load times are instant, HDR looks better, and overall performance feels much more consistent. It handles demanding games like NBA 2K, Call of Duty, and open-world titles with ease.

    The PS5 Pro is a fantastic upgrade for anyone who wants to get the most out of Sony’s console exclusives. As a primarily PC gamer, I really appreciate the boost in performance and visuals—it makes a noticeable difference in how games look and feel. While the PS5 Pro is on the pricey side, trading in or selling your original PS5 helps offset the cost and makes the upgrade much easier to justify. That said, I was disappointed that a disc drive isn’t included by default. Since I still own a collection of physical PS4 and PS5 games, along with other media I like to watch, I had to buy the add-on separately. If Sony had bundled the drive in, the price would have felt completely fair. Overall, though, if you care about higher fidelity and smoother gameplay, the PS5 Pro delivers an excellent experience and keeps console gaming competitive with a solid gaming PC.

    There's a lot of hate surrounding this device. Most of it is unfounded. The price point is high, and the tangible stuff you get doesn't seem like its worth it. No disc drive, no upright stand, the horizontal feet are kind of cheap looking. Sony also missed the chance to have something major drop built for the PS5 Pro that would showcase its power. There that's the negatives out of the way. The games I've played have had varying amounts of improvements. The one thing I have to say about the games with enhancements. Think of a hamburger. If you add salt and pepper.. you enhanced it. But its still not a steak. If you keep that in mind you'll be a happier person. Each game is very different in the amount of improvements. FC25 the lighting, gameplay and subtle details to players is a very noticeable improvement, Spider-Man Remastered... looks and plays amazing! Its more in line with the PC in the ray tracing and frame rate (in line not better than max settings don't at me) Call of Duty stable 120 frame rate, butter smooth.. there are others not so noticeable Dragon Age frame rate is definitely better but visuals are about the same. First Descendant the same. Stellar Blade VAST improvements. I could go on but you get the idea. Milage for each game will vary. That bein said, as more games come out built with the PS5 Pro in mind we should see a big uptick in improvements. Should you buy? IMO if you have an old PlayStation 5 or are in the market to get one, this would be the one to choose. If you have a slim or the Sony anniversary edition, I wouldn't make a special purchase right now, maybe wait for a sale. Of course its your money do what you like, just go into it with the right expectations and you'll be happier. I don't regret it and I'm enjoying it.

    I'm a gamer, I've owned a PS1, a PS2, a PS4 and a PS5, now I'm glad to say that I own the PS5 pro, I've also owned a PS4 pro. The PS5 pro is amazing. It's faster, better graphics, everything loads quickly. Thank you.

    Absolutely love it! Way faster than the original PS5. Much clearer and the standard 2TB storage is such an upgrade. Especially with COD. That took up most of my storage on the original PS5

    Nice incremental upgrade from the original ps5. Awesome storage compared to the old one at 2tb. However , It sucks that you have to spend even more for the disc drive separately. I mean at 80$ just throw it in for crying out loud! When your spending 800$ All said and done they don’t make it obvious how to transfer your data from the old one to the new one . Had to get online and search out help videos on how to pull the data . And then it ended up taking 10 hrs using a cat 5 Ethernet cable. Expanding the storage was drop dead easy. Plug and play , install it physically, then boot it up and it recognizes it immediately. I will say I used a PlayStation compatible WD BLACK 4tb ssd, which may have had something to do with it.

    I previously broke my 2020 Ps5 and ended up getting the ps5 pro, honestly it has a bunch of storage I can have multiple games installed at once which is very nice. It's slimmer and definitely a lot less heavier!

    I bought this having not had a standard PS5 yet and before the price hikes took affect. Performs awesome for somebody who hasn’t enjoyed a PS5 until now. Not sure it would be worth the upgrade at the new price point compared to a standard PS5

    Bought the PS5 Pro for “responsible adult reasons” and wow… huge mistake for my free time. Setup was easy, load times are basically gone, and everything looks ridiculously good. Games run so smooth it feels unfair. If you enjoy productivity and sleep, maybe skip it. Otherwise, highly recommend.

    Wanted an upgrade for my PS4 and decided to go with the PS5 Pro. Didn’t disappoint me at all. Was really satisfied with the performance, the enhanced features and I overly enjoyed playing it on my 4K tv. It definitely looks stunning with the performance upgrades of the pro. I would see myself playing for hours on this. Only downside is that it should have come with a disc drive at that kind of price point but it’s not really a huge issue for me as I prefer downloading my games and not everyone actually watches movies on Blueray these days.

    Definitely a noticeable upgrade from the PS5, especially with the PSSR update. The price has gotten ridiculous for consoles, but with the PS6 seemingly being delayed for a few years, I decided to upgrade from my PS5. The horizontal "stand" is a joke. 2 cheap clips that cause the console to still wobble. For the price, Sony should be ashamed. The stand that came with the PS5 was much better. The clips work well enough, but what this cost we deserved better. Otherwise I'm happy with it overall.

    It genuinely exceeded my expectations right out of the box. Coming directly from a PS4 after years i was finally able to to get my hands on a PS5 Pro and it was such an awesome transition everything is so different in a very great way. The controller, the game smoothness, fast loading time and graphics also when youre in a party chat with your friends the audio is so crisp and clear. If youre looking to upgrade your PS5 to a PS5 Pro i would highly recommend it.

    This console is absolutely amazing. The performance is incredibly fast, with almost no loading times, and everything runs smoothly even with high-demand games. The graphics are stunning—sharp, detailed, and very immersive, making every game feel more realistic. The controller adds a whole new level to the experience, with responsive feedback and great ergonomics. I also love how easy it is to navigate the interface and access games quickly. Overall, this is a powerful and reliable console that truly delivers a next-generation gaming experience. Definitely worth the investment for anyone who loves gaming.
