PlayStation 5 Pro Console

Straight to the point - PS5 Pro is going to benefit the games that are tailored, by Sony / other developers, to utilize the PSSR enhancing feature. When that Pro enhancement exists, you can expect a near / at 60 FPS for the game using this feature. Prime point, Star Wars: Outlaws; it's pro performance mode now incorporates the Fidelity Mode of the base PS5 while boosting the FPS to 60 - it's noticeable and if your TV or chose Gaming Monitor has the appropriate specs for Variable Refresh Rate (up to 120hz), then you're getting even more out of the Pro.As someone who is using their Pro as an extension of what I play on my rather robust PC (RTX 4090), it's nice to go into the living room and have my eyes not experience a jarring Technological Friction with way lower FPS than what I am accustomed to gaming with on my PC. Yes, this is a first world problem, yes, I have immense gratitude for the PC I own and now PS5 Pro, and for folks who want more consistent performance, then the PS5 Pro is phenomenal.Here's the catch, and all buyers looking to get one, PLEASE be aware: All games are NOT going to benefit from the PS5 Pro right out of the box. They have to be patched and or tailor-made upon release to utilize the features of this system. As of this writing there are a number of titles that benefit from said Pro / PSSR enhancements, but you have to research and make sure those are games you currently own.Take Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5; CDPR have chose not to (as of this writing) to craft a PS5 Pro enhanced mode for the game. When you boot it up, the Fidelity (ray trace mode) still runs at a jarringly low framerate. Performance mode still has the FASTER framerate everyone has been accustomed to. It's this kind of example that folks, myself included, temper their expectations with currently until more titles are released using the PSSR feature to boost FPS in more graphically demanding games.As someone who plays Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p with an RTX 4090 and further enhancements being provided by Nvidia's DLSS, my frames are above 200 FPS and higher; it's kind of wild - yes, I could be playing at 1440p / 4k, but having everything maxed out with Path Tracing on (which is being boosted by DLSS) is truly a sight to behold, even at 1080p on a 25 inch monitor with proper Gsync (Viewsonic Elite XG251G - 25 inch - 1080- 1 Ms - 360Hx - with Gysnc).Coming from this to the PS5 Pro is a night and day comparison, but again, at basic performance mode the game is running at 60 FPS; would it be nice if CDPR added a PS5 Pro patch, yes, but again, unless it is advertised as such, your game is not taking advantage of the price you're paying to get this shinier system.Which brings me to the end - is the PS5 Pro absolutely necessary at this point, NO, not at all. You're buying the system now as a way to boost the games you have that are advertised to be taking advantage of the Pro with a "Pro" Enhanced mode - again, research the game you are playing and see if it does. On top of this, it's for what's to come in the 2025 and beyond as we get closer to PS6. The hope is PSSR will boost games that are robust and will need the added bit of horsepower the Pro can afford on top of the aforementioned PSS5 boost. Think Grand Theft Auto 6; that game is going to be BEEFY and even on PS5 Pro I anticipate the FPS is going to struggle so any added boost, such as that from PSSR, will probably move more people to consider a mid-gen upgrade like this. While not necessary, hopefully Sony learns to competitively price this system in a way that doesn't feel so OBSCENE as it does now.I sold my OG PS5 Digital and utilized some gift money I happened upon this holiday season; if it wasn't for that, I would not have bothered to buy the Pro. For the games I play currently that benefit from the Pro / PSSR enhancement, it's great (SW:Outlaws; Horizon Remastered; Hogwarts Legacy; Alan Wake II).If you get one, enjoy, if you don't that's cool too!

There are a ton of games that are PS5 pro enhance. For example Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy 16 look great. I also bought the disc drive attachment and it was very easy to install. Also, my 4 Gigs Hard drive was super easy to remove from my base PS5 and install on the pro. No issues at all. It works perfectly. To get the full experience you'll need a TV with a 2.1 HDMI port to be able to use the VRR feature. I Have the LG G2 and it's perfect. Would definitely recommend for any console gamer

I haven’t seen my children outside of meals for 6 months. It’s great. Lighten up. It’s a joke!! Great graphics, no lagging and amazing technology

If you have option to pick up from other bender, I suggest to do so since the box was beat up and seal was broken.The inside was totally fine so I ended up keeping it but Prime discount was not worth it for that.The transfer fromPS4 to PS5, you need to use LAN otherwise it will take forever.The PS5Pro itself, yes it is overpriced gadgetSome argue not enough games list for PS5, but to meLOADING speed is the main reason purchasing it.PS+ got decent enough PS5 games and also my favorite RYUGAGOTOKU like a dragon series have PS5 compatibilitythat's good enough for me to play for a while. Still compared to PS4Pro # of games is not enough.Some might go after SWITCH2 which is understandable, but to me, discounted PS4 games with no or less loading times is the main reason for PS5Pro.ALL PS4 games (RDR2, AC series) fast travel is way way quicker.The Graphic is based on what kind of TV you have, if you dont high end TV, you might not notice major differencefrom PS4PRO, so having 4K or 8K TV is a must.PS5PRO also have 3D sound setting which is presently surprising good.The controller is also expensive but battery life is almost double compared with PS4 which is good.UI especially the folder settings, I prefer PS4 for easy to use.Also Theme / back ground I prefer PS4.Still once you used to the PS5PRO, not likely going back to the PS4Pro.PlayStation stars / loyalty program is also must since purchasing digital game will get 10% pointsand the points expired in 2 years, but you can redeem to PS card to charge your wallet.It is bulkier than PS4PRO...just FYI.No disk drive, no vertical stands, no discount, but it got 1TB additional internal drive, 10% ish faster loading timegraphic and performance mode same time, so if you are a heavy gamer, go for PRO is well worth it.
