Well, how much self control do you have. Also don't forget the track your spending thread

 

[Nankatsu]

Probably yes. The question for me is, as a collector, will I sell my PS5?

I did that with my vanilla ice PS4 in order to get the Pro, and I regret to this day, because that was one beautiful console.

 

[Fart Knight]

Maybe

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

If you don't get the pro you're not a bro

 

[FunkMiller]

What’s the fucking point?

 

[clarky]

Depends, if there's no software to go with it then no.

 

[GymWolf]

If you don't get the pro you're not a bro

Of course i'm gonna get a pro, gamestop usually retire my vanilla console and make me pay the pro model half the price.

 

[Starhowl]

Not a Sony bro nor a Playstation 5 owner - but planning to buy the Pro day one, if possible.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

It’s likely. Kids fight over the one ps5, adding another would save some headaches, might as well be a pro depending on cost.

 

[coastel]

I will get 2

 

[GymWolf]

What’s the fucking point?

Better resolution\framerate\graphic, like a mild pc upgrade.

If you can sell your ps5 for a good price, why not? it's gonna be the best hardware where you can play sony exclusives if you don't wanna wait for a pc port 2 years later, and it's enough for some people.

Now it's on sony to release some IMPRESSIVE vertical slices from these devs to make pro more palatable:

new nd game
tsushima 2
new bluepoint game
new sm corey project
new bend game
something new from guerrilla
new housemarque game
etc.

 

[Snake29]

No upgrade, just as second console. PS5 will stay in the livingroom and the Pro in my home office/gaming room.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Valt7786]

Day one. I'm getting fed up at looking at low res/greasy resolutions if I want a decent framerate AND sit comfortably.

 

[Little Mac]

Yes.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

 

[Gaiff]

Not a Sony bro but will get the Pro Day 1.

 

[saintjules]

Day 0.

 

[Bartski]

Day -1

 

[German Hops]

Pro Bro, checking in.

 

[Hohenheim]

I'm no "Sony bro", but will definitly replace the slim with the Pro when it arrives. Because new tech is awesome, and i'll need better hardware for my netflix streaming

(And I want best possible performance when Housemarque release a new game)

 

[StereoVsn]

Normally I would get it, but last bunch of Sony games disappointed and I have a decent gaming PC.

Well, I say that but if Ghost of Tsushima 2 comes out and it’s 60fps on Pro vs 30 on vanilla, I could see myself getting it.

However, there is nothing on release that would be interesting. For GTA, the only two that I liked were Vice-City and GTA IV, so it’s a huge YMMV in VI for me.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I will get 2

Same, at least getting 2 possibly more

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

As with PS4 Pro day 1 and that was long before it was even announced/rumored

 

[omegasc]

current one upgrades the PS4 Pro in the living room for the kids, and PS5 Pro in my office/gaming room. Everyone's happy.

 

[jm89]

Day 1.

Hopefully Sony make it difficult for the scalpers if they sell it on direct.

As ever, the games sell the console. Whatever it is.

I am not confident Sony will announce any exclusive games that make this console worth buying.

I expect a lot of shit about higher frame rates - which I don’t care about, and not a lot about new games and gameplay - which I do.

 

[Fake]

With luck the base PS5 get a price drop.

I mean, sooner or later they have to show something, the devs i listed are probably all in full on cooking time.

 

[Tarnpanzer]

Mostly PC-games nowadays, but will upgrade my PS5 nevertheless.

 

[Tsaki]

I expect PS6 to release in Fall 2028, so yeah I'll buy the Pro

 

[digdug2]

Day one. I'm getting fed up at looking at low res/greasy resolutions if I want a decent framerate AND sit comfortably.

What do you mean? You don't like when games look like they have a fine coat of Vaseline smeared on them?

 

[dreamstation]

Depends how much and how good of a trade in deal EB does for my base PS5.

 

[digdug2]

I will sell my day one PS5 and get a Pro. My wife is more than content with her Slim though.

 

[DryvBy]

My wife wants to play GTA 6 with me so probably for that reason.

 

[jroc74]

I got the PS4 Pro, of course.

I also had a situation recently where someone came over and wanted to play a GTA Online heist. I never knew I would need an extra console in my home for online MP, lol.

 

[Topher]

 

[Tokio Blues]

Day 1 for GTA 6.

 

[mansoor1980]

 

[Mr Hyde]

No. I don't buy in to the Pro-models. So far, I don't think the base consoles have been pushed enough to warrant Pro-models. Games are still developed with base consoles as their target spec making Pro-models an afterthought. And lastly, the generational leap doesn't seem as big if you got a Pro. To me, they are a waste of money, I'm good with only one model per generation. Only reason for me to buy a Pro is if the base PS5 broke down and stopped functioning.

 

[adamsapple]

No. I got a PS4 Pro and aside from resolution increases in some games, it really didn't amount for much.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Not a Sony Bro, but I'll be damned if I buy another one when they haven't even tapped the original.

 

[Heisenberg007]

If you don't get the pro you're not a bro

Eager hands await,
PS5 Pro dreams take flight
Joy in silicon.

 

[CSJ]

I don't know, at first I was like yes but then I thought, why?
"Because I want thing to look better? or because I want 60fps minimum, or both?"

So I still don't know.

Same excuse as upgrading a PC I guess, why? to run new/cutting edge stuff maxed out.
I guess in PS5 terms, so it's not struggling to run current gen games a few years out as we're seeing now.

But that's more on devs I think, I think they're using much more powerful hardware to hide the need to optimise as much as they used to and go "oh well, job done".

 

[Barneyco]

I'm lookin at getting a new tv so it will have to be a pretty big step from the PS5 for me to get one.

 

[NEbeast]

Why not? Sell the base console and put it towards the pro.

 

[Horseganador]

 

[King Dazzar]

 

[Outlier]

No. I have a PC. I barely touch my PS5 anymore. Still have to get back to FF XVI.
