Can't wait for $499.99! Lol. Even $449.99 would probably annoy most and would be $100 more than the current Switch OLED model.
I agree... if we are talking only about the small segement of poorly conceived games from untested devs which the Concord devs fit into. That isn't the majority, though.
Whoops, sorry my last was at Einhander1972, not at you joab777. I just clicked the wrong reply button after leaving and returning to this page to help someone else out in the meat space.
Who runs our countries can impact the economy and the global economy being in shambles scares top brass in every publication firm (the ones greenlighting our games), which leads to more 'safe' bets determined by non-gamers in suits with loads of cash. You think games are made with fairy dust and good will? No dude, it's called venture capital and loans.
Our hobby is bankrolled by useful idiots with cash which is why wokeness is infecting all media including game...
Why is everyone acting like the $700 PS5 Pro is the only PS5?
@Vitalogy
Coming with a stand...
Needing a stand...
These are not statements are not the same.
The PS2 slim did need a stand... to stand.
How are you being ripped off if the PS5 slim and likely the PS5 Pro don't need the stand... to stand?
That means you don't need to spend $30!
@TheProfessional
Of maybe it has nothing to do with greed and everything to do with the poor global economic situation we are in? Nintendo charged more for an OLED screen and a paltry 32 GB expansion to the base model's storage. Was that worth $50 dollars 5 years after launch? Get real!
The economy is in the gutter thanks to inflation and that means things cost more. It's also why PCs don't cost less than PS5 never mind the new pro. Most desktops as pow...
It's not meant to replace PS5.
That is what they always think.
AMD is doing that too now... so maybe everyone is fleecing everyone, or the economy is poor driving prices up due to inflation.
"'Just get a gaming PC' is the refrain echoing all across the internet in response to the console's unveiling, and while I am contractually obliged to repeat this sentiment, it is also just broadly good advice. PC gaming has never been in such a good state: the walls between consoles and PC have been torn down, and now we get all the games. Well, all the games that aren't published by Nintendo. And while we still get some dodgy ports, it's impossible to ignore the per...
The Pro isn't even available for pre-order yet.
I hope we still have discs but if games are 150GB or more a pop, then they won't be on discs anymore anyway.
Oh my gosh a sane take!
Where the heck am I?
"I’m disappointed and pissed."
Why? This is a value added upgrade. If games run well for you, it's totally unnecessary. The global economy is bad. PS, MS, Nintendo amongst every other manufacturer isn't even going to pretend to take a financial hit to please anyone's pocket book.
@DodoDojo
I was fine with the rumored price because I know how the economy works.
Though, I can't explain the Japanese and European pricing when the dollar trades worse than the Euro and better than Yen.
@jambola
Nah, man, he's right. I'm get a Pro because unlike you lot I love gaming and PS is the only one giving back in ways you are so stuck up in not understanding that you'd rather have the entire industry collapse because of how you feel than understanding the reality why PC parts cost more Switch OLED and base model PS5 and Xbox Series consoles are all $50 more expensive than at launch.
Some people do need to grow up. You are amongst them.

You should turn it on every once in a while. Supposedly, if you don't the SW and FW onboard can f••• itself if left off for too long.
