Anonymous, 10 Oct 2023Where is PS5 pro?What do you need a 'pro' model for? The current gen games aren't even utilizing the power in the PS5 yet.

PS5 proving itself to be a really unappealing, expensive console.
Years after release, it's still going nowhere and anyone can see XBOX is just a much better deal all around.

Lmaooo another price hike? I really don't understand why anyone would pay the insane prices for these consoles, especially considering the game selection...

DeepIn2U, 11 Oct 2023Too big, cause it's 4 years old?! Lol
You must'... moreSize of the units and each mid refresh and how smaller they get partial depends how smaller the die size of the cpu get, note each gen and mid refreshes the difference gets smaller and die size does not decrease that much
note the reason why earlier generation PlayStations became significantly smaller, you need to look at die size
PlayStation 2 - 250nm
PlayStation 2 slim 90nm
PlayStation 3 - 90nm
PlayStation 3 slim - 65nm
PlayStation 3 super slim - 45nm
PlayStation 4 - 28nm
PlayStation 4 slim /pro 16nm
PlayStation 5 - 7nm
PlayStation 5 slim - 6nm
As u can see size of die is increasingly less and less difference between refreshes, that's why it can't get smaller

DeepIn2U, 11 Oct 2023Too big, cause it's 4 years old?! Lol You must'... moreBut the big problem is right now Sony is getting rid of Phat PS5 models (disc version) and there are some great deals out there like PS5 and EAFC23 for £410. Which is £70 cheaper than a PS5 slim with disc drive. Could buy the oroginal PS5 and buy a 1tb SSD drive and it still cost less than a PS5 slim.

You must've never been with Sony Playstation since thr beginning .
Every 3-4yrs a slim model debuts since PS2. EACH TIME much smaller by volume and more efficient, yet previous models lost functionality in thr cpu.
Glad this year no lost functionality, plus ability to add thr Blu-Ray player if considered later - boosting sales of the internet edition and thisll show Sony if Blu-Ray should or shouldn't be further invested in down the road.
Although no Miles Morales Spider-Man version this fall which I'm saddened by. Hoojng NVME speeds get a boost?
All in all great volume and weight savings considering the power it delivers ans once again Sony has proven thr Playstation IS KING of consoles with a bright future!

„One of the panel opens access to the new Ultra HD Blu-ray drive, which is now removable on the new consoles. You can also purchase the drive separately now and attach it to your Digital Edition console to get disc functionality, or if your existing drive failed for some reasons.“
That is very nice

I promise you 1000% the Disk Drive wil hit "production issues". To either normalize selling the digital edition just because they don't want you to have CDs anymore and/or because they want you to buy the disk drive at an extra cost separately.

Does the PS5 really need a separate stand to be placed vertically?
