Topic: The 'PS5 Pro is technically for me' Thread

Well, that's the PS5 Pro paid for! Decided to pay for it in advance so I don't keep changing my mind. I keep forgetting that I can sell my PS5 Slim to get some money back, so at least that'll save me some money. I'm going to save myself some time and just sell it to CEX. It'll be interesting to see how much the price of the Slim will go down when the Pro is released. I can get £299 in cash if I sell it now, but I'm going to wait until my Pro arrives before I sell it because I can't be doing without a PS5!

@Khwarezm89 no problem. That 15% ain't a bad discount at all, especially for games you want to get on release day!

In return, I ask only a small favour...

Let me know how Dragon Age The Veilguard is on PS5 Pro when you get it 😁 the more I read, the more it seems that this will be the first game to really go for it on the new hardware. The game itself I am still unsure of, but the fact they are piling on the upgrades right away is really intriguing. And as I love fantasy as a genre, I am hoping it's a game I will maybe warm to at some point, as I did with Dragons Dogma 2, after being a little worried by the trailers I saw in the year before release, it ended up being a day one game for me 😁

They have said (realised you quoted some of this already, but more details have since come out): not only are they doing the 60fps Pro mode with some minor RT effects and PSSR boosting image quality to match PS5 quality, but they have also confirmed the 30fps mode will have boosted resolution and more visual goodies, which seems like a very good starting place for a third party release to include so many improved options

@Ravix Don't worry I'll talk a lot about the game once I get my hands on it but I'll post in this thread specifically how it looks and performs on the PS5 Pro

Cancelled my Pro pre-order... for now. I hate how indecisive I am about it. Apart of me wants it, but then I just think of all the games I could get with the money instead. I have a feeling that once I'm back at work the Saturday after it's release then I'll end up ordering it from Argos and using same day collection to grab it after work.

@Bentleyma maybe if you're still indecisive just leave it for a while and re-evaluate if you actually need it in a month or so, or around Christmas time. That £699 could be better used elsewhere if you're still happy with the slim ps5 and new monitor.

@Bentleyma I've warmed up to idea of it, but still think it is not for me. I've not come across any games that have suffered with any drastic performance issues that makes me want to spurge 700 quid on another console.

Plus I've not long ago bought new face plates for my ps5, and quite like the look of an all black console under my TV! 😂

@Bentleyma If you can afford it, why not? You should value your time more than your money
PS5 Pro will give you more bang for your buck: every minute spent playing on a PS5 Pro is like 2 minutes spent playing a normal PS5 (in terms of enjoyment gained per minute)((it probably doesn´t have that great of an effect, but it´s probably still gonna offer a much better experience))

@Bentleyma I know what you mean but to me it was easy decision to make tbh. But if there are other priorities you have then take your time to decide when should you get the PS5 pro.

I know what I'm like and I'm almost certain that when it's released I'll go out and grab one. I do like the idea of owning the best PlayStation I can own and money isn't the issue. Plus I can sell my PS5 for a tidy sum, so that makes the £700 pricetag more justifiable.

@Bentleyma That's how I thought about it. I pre-ordered it on PS Direct then I cancelled it and pre-ordered it through GameStop here in Germany as they've the Trade-In option so it made paying for the pro more justifiable.
