I sold my original PS5 disc edition with m.2 1TB and some old disc games for $450 on facebook marketplace. Ended up picking up this Pro and setting it up now
Haha no that’s just what everyone here thinks! Right, cyclonefr?!
I'm disappointed in you, specially since there won't be a price drop any time soon. Why bother waiting?
FYI, PS5 Pro is night & day. No vaseline blurry mode in Horizon 1/2 performance mode anymore.
No vaseline on FF7 Rebirth.
It's like upgrading a PC GPU.
good price, the OLED will be nice for sure... i think i read somewhere that the adapter to get it working for PC was discontinued? Something to be aware of if buying for PC.. i could be wrong though, but look it up.
What's the deal with the keysites selling accounts with the games on them, those can't be legit, can they? I mean, it reeks stollen accounts to me
I did that on Xbox a few years back (bought shared accounts), but it relies on people willing to do shady things not doing further shady things (ie reselling the account they just bought or sharing it to even more people, or changing the password on the account).
Obviously i took one of the worst shot but yeah.. Same was with ass creed shadows, when the game engine doesn't have proper baked lighting and is built for ray tracing, disabling it doesn't look good.
I would say PS5 Pro is quite mandatory to play this game on console properly because of this, even if it doesn't look bad on a xbox sex or a regular ps5, the lighting is sometimes really off and reflections too.
Even if you remove the AI shortages from the equations, none of the traditional price going down as the generation progresses has really happened this generation. This is the life at edge of the end of Moore's law. You want more performance, so you need more transistors; you need smaller transistors to be able to fit more at the same power and thermal envelopes. But these process nodes are crazy expensive, even at the relatively high yield rates we have. Meanwhile, there really isn't competition at the high-end process node manufacturing. Samsung isn't good enough yet (low yields in their highest-end fabs). Intel has had many issues coming up with their 18a fab, but maybe finally got those sorted out.
Then add a world where compute demand has risen by two orders of magnitude or more. And on top of that, you have complex tariff uncertainty, shipment and material shortages due to wars, etc.
Baring any future technological innovations, the next major roadblock is when we reach the real physical limit of how small we can get transistors to be. We're not there yet, but you can see it from here.
Decent strategy perhaps, up the price before GTA 6?
The times people will say "lol good luck, i will never buy that expensive garbage" vs the times the same people actually just caves in and just buys it because the temptation is just too high? i think the latter is more common than you might think
Got myself another PS5 controller since i found one pretty cheap, bet the prices will increase soon.
