Sony announces the $700 PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling

The PS5 Pro has better specs for the most demanding games.

$700, and the side by sides look barely different, from my perspective. The chat seemed to have the same opinion.

    Which could play MS and Sony games. I don’t think consoles make much sense nowadays.

      And the best part is you don’t have to pay for online and you won’t need to rebuy your games each new console generation.

        First one I’ll grant you, but there was no rebuying from last gen to current gen for anything non-Nintendo.

          If you pay for the discs, you can’t use the discs on future generations. Right? Ps4 can’t read ps3 or ps2 discs. Xbox one can read xbox and 360 discs, but they limit it to only specific games. So in general, you have to buy it once again on their online store, if its available at all.

            While pc can play old games, you can sometimes run into compatibility issues. Especially games in the ps1/2/3 era.

            Og Xbox and xbox 360 games work without much issues on Xbox one and series XS. Ps4 and Xbox one games are 99% playable on Series XS and Ps5.

      It did when the ps5 first came out. $500 for it was a steal back then. I wanted to build a PC at the time but due to the crazy GPU prices and low stock for other parts I decided it was best to wait. Got a ps5 instead (was also hard to get as well) and thought it was absolutely worth the price for the experience it offered. Just built the pc I wanted last fall shortly after prices started dropping. First time ever I made a good choice.

        Yeah, after that time I really didn’t think consoles would be as much as a midrange PC. And yet, here we are. Feels like Sony’s back to late PS2 era levels of hubris now.

        Even at the time it came out you could have built a pc with an RTX 3060 for that price, which would outperform the PS5 by a big margin and have a way bigger game library
