PS5 Pro, the most powerful console ever, was just released. Does high price equal a good product?

VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While not carrying the same heft it enjoyed long ago, last year was one of the adventure genre's most commercially-successful years in this century. A Telltale-esque adventure eclipsing 3 million sales in three months would be the talk of the town were it not for another adventure game hurdling over 10 million sales in two. Though not all finalists reached those heights, each did share a greater amount of spotlight compared to similar titles within their respective sub-genres.
Past any sales thresholds and popularity contests, 2025 also deserves credit for its creativity; the last time our entire shortlist consisted exclusively of new IPs was for Best Adventure Game of 2020. An impressive year for the genre, with even greater potential ahead."
Inti Creates’ vibrant action platformer Majogami will shed its Switch console exclusivity and strike PS5 on 28th May, the Japanese dev has announced.
Today, Bungie premiered its “Developer Insights | Runner Shells” video of their PvPvE survival extraction FPS Marathon.
The price isn’t high for what you get. My gaming TV is 3 times the price even including the disc drive and stand. If you have a higher end TV or monitor and are a console gamer I 100% recommend the PS5 Pro.
Is the product good? yes
Is it essentia? no
Are we all tired about hearing about the price? I know I am
Will GTA vi convince us to get it? Rockstar will take that to the grave until launch
So far, I am not impressed with the inconsistency of my Pro experience so far.
My unit is unacceptably loud when playing disc based titles. Bringing back my nightmares of the PS4 Pro.
Some titles look noticeably better, while others, the differences are barely perceptible.
I just don't feel it's worth it for what I paid.
In my opinion £650 with a built-in drive would have been fairer. £830 for minimal gains & a return to a console that sounds like a jet engine hasn't been worth it for me.
100% performance boost and 2tb ssd.
If you consider quality mode image quality (30 fps on ps5) runs at 60 on patched games on ps5 pro, it's a 100% boost. I don't care if it's AI upscaling or whatever, that's the end result.
Add to that a 2tb ssd
