PS5 Pro Unboxings Now Online, Same Box Basically

Definitely excited! Can't wait for Thursday and I hope everyone else gets their Pro's on release day.

I used Sony Direct so hopefully all good.

@HappyGamerGirl

PlayStation Direct is a great place to buy things, especially if you have PS+.
I waited to buy PS5 Pro from Target, so I could get a tiny discount with my Target Circle card. Unfortunately, Target does not ship the Pro until release day, so I am estimated to receive mine three days later. That's not too bad as it gives me a little more time to get through the game I'm currently playing, Immortals of Aveum, so I can break in the PS5 Pro with Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth and both Horizon games.

Shame those that get gifted a Pro for free also get a stand whilst we have to pay for one on top of the £700 (£800 with disc)!
Can't wait though, don't wanna wish my life away but why can't it be Thursday already 😂

I don't really get a kick out of an unboxing video but doing it yourself is great fun. It's super exciting getting new hardware, I hope everyone getting one has fun on Thursday!

Not sure what else one could expect from a box. Same shape and size, would be odd to redesign it.

if pro comes with disc then we talk

@HappyGamerGirl
Same here.
PS Direct have taken my money and updated to preparing to ship.

@Macver1ck It doesn't, and won't.

@Macver1ck
Such fuss.
Just by a disc drive.
If it came with one it would be more expensive.
So at least you have an option of the extra cost.

@Mostik
Only 3 sleeps 🛌 to go 🤣

@OldGamer999 I don't think I will get much sleep on Wednesday night at this rate 😂 it's great getting new hardware, hope my delivery is early Thursday morning & I wonder if the first boot up will be unique like the base PS5 was?

I like the Dragon Quest slime that's pretending to be a PS5.

It was really exciting when the PS5 launched, I remember watching a few unboxing videos.

@HappyGamerGirl hope you get yours Thursday!

Sadly I’m going to have to wait a whole extra day as my shipping says Friday 😬 it’s not through ps direct though so you should be good!

@Dodoo Thanks! Just seen on an unboxing vid that the review embargo is 11am on Wednesday so not long before all the info is out there for us.

Jeez...too bad the PS5 Pro is as massive as the original PS5.

Now we need a PS5 Pro Slim

😂😂😂😂

I still think it the price is too heavy for a machine that makes old games look a bit prettier….

Just got a buyer for my PS5 digital! After selling it, and my discounts. I’ll end up paying $320 for my Pro! Simply. Can’t. Wait!!!!

@HappyGamerGirl cool roll on Thursday! 😊

No one seems to be reporting on the fact that the specs that were leaked a good deal back where wrong in terms of GPU power. Those Leaks stated 33 teraflops.

In the unboxings we now know that the official manual for the Ps5 pro states it's only a little more than 16 teraflops. Only 4 more than the xbsx and 6 more than the base ps5...

Why does this matter? It doesn't lol, none of this does.
However, consider this: you have continued to be blasted with marketing and the fan human defenders give reasonings such as the idea that an equivalent pc GPU/setup could not be made for the the Ps5 pro asking price and Thus it's a valid price point.
That rational was based on those leaked/assumed specs....

Gee..... I wonder why Sony didn't correct that pre release, or even release official specs at all during that time...

@AhmadSumadi Imagine spending $400 for the ability to play THE EXACT SAME GAMES but, hey, now you can see a background image that has nothing to do with the actual game.

I'm just saying I'd rather keep my launch PS5 and spend $400 on new games between my consoles.

But hey, can't cure brand-blindess

@Trojan I take it that you still have your old 720p TV from 10 years ago? Because you can watch all the new stuff on those. No need to ever want an upgrade. Anyway, enjoy that Progressive Scan Vizio.. ✌🏾

@AhmadSumadi I buy things actually WORTH the money. But I get it. You saw a shiny thing. You had to get it. You couldn't resist the urge call "fanboyism".

But people aren't smart with their money.
I have a Hisense 4k QLED btw. But clearly you still have that Vizio to remember progressive scan lol whatever kiddo

@AhmadSumadi If I had a tv from 10 years ago then that TV will clearly outlast your PS5 pro. But hey! You helped out Herman Hulst get his checks!

@Trojan why bother attacking someone who is clearly excited about THEIR purchase, with THEIR money. Even worse, you had to inflate the price they paid by 25% to try and make your point (300 is closer to 320 than 400, but I guess that wouldn't have helped your salty reply as much, huh?)

Edit; oh, I see. You joined on Monday and already have multiple posts removed.

@OldGamer999 i mean with a price they gave ps5pro should comes a with disc drive, they already make a lot of profit from psplus, or i hope in the future the 5pro comes with disc drive and 1tb drive to compensate the price, from the reviewer i guess thats not a big of difference for amount of money in terms of visuals, even with a top tier tv set guess it all depends from the dev to crank it good if not then its just a little bump from the OG 5
