I’m probably the last person to get there’s today. But it finally arrived.

Wild how much smaller this is than the release model.

Need a black cover asap.

So, a question for the Pro Boyz...
What TV's are you all running?
It feels like anything short of a display smaller than, say, 60", 4K, HDR and 120hz won't be beneficial?

I'll be sampling it on two different displays. On the sim-race rig, LG 39" ultrawide 1440p OLED 240hz, this one is like a high frame rate PC gaming hack model. On the wall its a Sony 65" 4K LED 120hz.

Definitely looking forward to the fidelity improvements but more thirsty for the highest possible super-locked, ultra-smooth frame rate. I am much more sensitive to the latter.

For the third new psx in a row, I will pop the cherry with my favorite FPS, Battlefield 4. Was a rough ride on the launch PS5 so this should be interesting.

No. They’re not compatible.

The bottom fit fine. But the top isn’t.

Feel like HDR, 120HZ and 4K been a thing for awhile. Guess that 8K nonsense on the OG PS5s was .

So does this mean the PS5 lifecycle is going to 2027 now?

 

[Ricky D]

PS5 was probably going to 2027/28 regardless. That would put it in line with PS3/PS4 cycle.

[jae oh en]

didn’t know there was a data transfer feature to migrate from old console to new one. In a rush I wiped my launch ps5 to get it ready to sell.

Luckily all save and game data was saved to the cloud so I’m pretty much good on the new console. Did end up losing all my screen captures.

 

[John Wick]

Man the pro is legit no

This PSSR is wild

Games smoother and sharper

 

[Fozz]

Alright, I'm going to set it up today lol

 

[Cnowledge]

GameStop said if I trade in two PS five with a pro membership I’ll pay roughly $100 for ps5 pro. Idk

How much are you going to sell for?

So you have to trade TWO PS5s and still gotta come up with money? lol. Scandalous.

 

[Fozz]

$300 trade-in credit for the PS5. I did that yesterday with two controllers.

Also, they don't take the colored plates. So if you have those for your PS5, don't bother.

So if anyone here has a OG Physical Disc PS5 and wants some midnight black plates, DM me for a good time.

Basically what Fozz said, $300 for launch day. $290 for a slim. GameStop pro will give you an extra $45 lmao. I’m only thinking about it because I got the slim for free basically so it’s not a loss.

I have it on Craigslist for $300 and have had a couple bites. GameStop was offering 240 credit, so that’s my lowest. It’s a launch digital model

Was watching Maximilliondood play rebirth on his pro …. Holy **** i had no interest in purchasing one but damn it i have to do it now

 

[Sinner]

Hmmm... maybe it's about time I try this game.

 

[D Double]

They already acknowledged it before but good to see that Sony knows their first party is missing on the fun family type games.
Astro Bot is also here to stay. Team Asobi definitely going to get more funding.

Nah you will still benefit from better graphic effects from the stronger GPU and better framerate.

[John Wick]

A bunch of games so far to name a few

Dragon Age best one so far i tried

Like a Dragon Infinite wealth no patch and i see an improvement wish they will patch this one

Re4 is wild no patch either u put it on fidelity and its like its running 60fps on fidelity

FF7 Rebirth is nice no explanation needed

Silent Hill 2 but its broken right now from what im reading on reddit it needs a patch but claims its already enhanced.

Metaphor is a dope game first time playing this series runs super smooth now

So far im impressed patch or not u will see an improvement if you have the display to match.

Way bigger improvement over a ps4 pro when that launched.

Uggh. Had to update via WiFi. Finally it all transferred, set up, SSD transferred, drive was the easiest part. Been making kids dinner. Finally 24 hrs later I’ll get a chance to try it out.

 

[stay lurkin]
