@Qu1n0n3z weird thing is, you can't physically play 2 consoles at the same time on the same tv screen. So we, who can choose to spend our money however we like, choose to use the better one. Funny that, innit?
@Qu1n0n3z I think it's worth the price I paid for it. I sold my PS5 Slim for £300, plus it comes with a 2TB SSD, which is pretty expensive when bought by itself anyway.
With the good reviews coming in, I warming up to the idea of treating myself. Unfortunately the disc drive appears to now also be sold out in the U.S. (the article the other day implied we were immune to the shortages but I suppose not anymore). What I would really love is an option to buy the console and then then select a package with the disc drive instead of the DualSense. I guess I can flip the DualSense and recoup some money to pay for the drive but I hate the hassle to get all the pieces lined up. I wonder if they will release a bundle in the future with the disc drive instead. 😄 Fat chance.

@Ravix I actually have a huge digital library already, including PS+ Extra. So yeah, I could be entertained for many months on it alone, to be honest. But my current main game is a disc (Dark Souls 2), and I have a decent disc backlog, but I think several from my digital library are also on deck as possibilities (KCD, and BG3, as you know 😅) and so I maybe won’t really miss a disc drive for 3-6 months… hmm, we’ll see. I just like having the option. My main discs I have in the lineup are GoW Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Hades, AC Odyssey, Dark Souls 3, Elden Ring, Witcher 3 (although maybe this is on PS+ now?), and Nier Replicant 😂 Omg…. Listing just my physical backlog gives me major panic attacks. 😛

@Th3solution better switch to a digital Pro for your own mental wellbeing then, that's that sorted 😁
I shall actually test out KCD in the PS4 game boost mega upgrade mode, or whatever it is called, as that is a game I know could do with some extra sharpening on a larger modern screen with some console wizardry. Be interesting to see some of the other things the console can do away from current gen games.

TLoU in the mode I was using on PS5 (unlocked performance) on the PS5 Pro now seems to hit 95/120 fps instead of 70/80 ish
PSSR Pro mode, which is the new 4K upscaled mode, seems to be hitting between 75/90fps in unlocked frame rate with VRR. So 4K visuals with maybe an 80+fps average? Seems pretty good to me for a console.
I don't have any fancy devices, it's just the readout on my tv, but it definitely seems a fair boost. Also, I feel like the water looks good now, but I'd have to go and check what it looked like before in this specific area, as the water that looked crap on my PS5 was from an earlier area.
FC25 is a weird one, I've seen conflicting reports about whether it is 120fps or not, but on mine, even when it was showing 60hz output it seemed much more responsive than it did on the PS5, and the motion and responsiveness is clearly faster as soon as you load the game, you can see it plain as day with your eyes that it is a faster frame rate than it was. Later on I managed to get a readout of 119.9hz after I adjusted auto VRR settings. I haven't got a clue what it means, but it feels fantastic and there are definitely more clearly defined animations that are able to be crammed in to the gameplay. I don't know what they have done, but it feels miles better to play
A tidbit for people who have played KCD
The loading titles now finish before Charles IV even dies 😱
So I guess Henry can go on to live in peace and prosperity 😁
(I guess that means the SSD might be even faster???)
Had a quick look at “HFW” and “TLoU” - I’ll have to wait until the weekend to dig in properly. The graphical uptick in the performance modes was immediately obvious, which is precisely what I was after, so colour me happy.
Finished setting up mine
Spider-Man 2 was the only actually enhanced game I could try and the image is very nice and sharp in both Pro modes. Nice.
I would try Forbidden West and TLOU2 Remaster but... I have those on discs and I wasn't able to buy a drive yet.
I'm mostly interested in how much better SW Outlaws does, as it was my "current" single player game... but that goes on hold now, since - again - disc.
I'll probably get Alan Wake 2 instead.
