>900 dollars for an astro bot machine yikes!...
>>688387102Wasn’t this supposed to be backwards compatible with most PS games? Doesn’t cutting off the disc drive kinda hamper that?
So wait a minute, if I bought physical games on PS5 would they just be part of the digital library on the PS5 Pro, or would I be forced to get the disc drive to play them?
>>688388728What do you think anon lol
>>688387235You forgot tax.
>>688387102>Concord>Massive astroturf for that robot game>$700 console that does not even comes with a disc driveAll in the span of 2 weeksSony will either stop existing this year or will get bought by microsoft or tencent
>>688387102>$700USD>+$80USD drive>TOTAL= $780USD + tipbuy a pc and fuck off
>>688387235>are you telling me that I can play all these games with just this $800 console?
>>688387102Watch this thing still chug out Bloodborne at 15 fps lol
>still using a 1080p TV from 2012 for all console gaymingI simply don't have a use case for this product.
>>688387102Lmao what would the jap price be then? Almost 1k for both?
at least PS4 copies of the last of us are dirt cheap sony bros.

>>688387102>they're making DLC for consolesBecause this really worked out for SEGA.
>>688389162BB is already at a perfectly locked 30 on PS4pro, so that's basically impossible.
can anyone explain why anyone cares for a disc drive when everything is digital, tied to your account and games require additional downloads before playing anyway?
>>688389392and what is crazy is that the physical PS5 is only like $50 more expensive than the digital only PS5
>>688387235what does PS+ cost nowadays?
>The disc drive costs $80>The fucking plastic stand costs $50
>>688387102Remember when people said that Nintendo was the apple of videogames?

>>688389064>It's actually weaker than an 800 prebuiltThis is the best part.
>no disc drive on the “pro” console honestly pathetic, reminds me of collector editions that don’t come with the fucking game
>>688388162switch sold more than ps2, keep seething tranny lmoa
>>688390442between $80 and $160 yearly depending on the package, apparently there's multiple versions now

>>688390887Wtf, console gaming is actually way more expensive than pc
>>688390762A PS5 is comparable to a 4060?
>>688387945>Who's actually going to shell out money for this shit?ResetEraNeoGAF
>>688388021Well, thats all it takesInfluencers say jump, zoomers ask how high?
Sony wants you to go digital only faster I guess.
bought the disc drive as i know thats going to sell out and be sold out for a while, gonna scalp the fuckin piece of shit plastic on ebay cant wait
>>688387102>h-ha you chuds can't make a better ps5 for $500!>noooooooooooooo not like this
>>688387945Sony has a cult around them kinda like Apple, so europoors will buy this even if they to starve for two months
Sony is trying to become the apple of gaming which is good for them but bad everyone else especially the consumer
>910do makes a killing selling a budget chink tablet from 10 years ago for whole 300 bucks>what if we came up with a trimmed down ps5 slim to blow that tablet out of the water specs-wise for the same price? >nah, our audience is rich
>>688387154You want the CEO and execs miss their Christmas bonuses, commie?
>>688391312Like the bought concord right?
>>688387102>DISC DRIVE SOLD SEPARATELYGood news.Now PS5 pro doesn't have this ugly hump.
>>688391228A ps5 is weaker than a 4060. It's somewhere between a 1660 or 2070 depending on who you ask
>>688387102$700 would be fine if it had the drive and PSN wasn't so fucking expensive.$700 for a barebones system that needs monthly payments to work is wild.
>>688390762I actually bought that PC in June and it's pretty good actually.
The ONLY way to transfer PS5 games save data was only though ps plus paywall
>>688390762ps5 pro = 6800xt/ 3070ti idk what the equivalent 40 series that is, but yeah considering the disc drive + stand + ps plus for any online play its literally going into PC tier cost.
>>688389392????
nobody needs a disc drive
>>688391749Only "downside" is the three front fans are a little noisy but if you actually cared it could be fixable. It uses actual parts too not like Dell shit. I feel like a marketer but I took a flyer on this brand I never heard of and it turned out pretty nice.
why not make it 1600 bucks? it would be even better at playing no games and separating the poor from the elite
>>688391182I guess a proper poorfag could still get a used ps5 slim, only buy the basic ps plus package when it goes on sale (assuming that it ever does) and exclusively play what that gives him monthly to still enjoy AAA slop and multiplayer for cheaper than on pc, but yes they are going crazy with the prices
>>688391571Europeans are richer than amerilarders
>>688390734>third worlders who pay like 500% tax on PC parts or whateverI hate my country…I have to move
>>688391163break one TOS BAM all your games are a fart in the wind that's why I'm not particularly eager to play multiplayer on PSN I have too many games and my backlog all it takes is one group of fags to take away everything you paid for
>>688391712PS5 is a 5700 non-XT. Unified memory helps so it can punch above it's weight a bit but not much. 4060 is definitely in another tier. DD2 runs on PS5 at low settings at mostly 1080p-1440p internal res and barely does 30fps. 4060 does around 40fps at 1440p ultra settings. Even a laptop 406p is faster than PS5.
>>688392123good goy trust the digital store and preorder all sony titles, they won’t force you to buy all the games again in the future ;)
>>688387945They have a bare minimum cult of consumers who will literally buy anything for the brand
>>688391950PS5 pro is apparently even worse than that - it's closer to a 7700XT with slightly better raytracing. So 4060ti is probably right on the money.
>>688392052>conveniently cropping the cheaper option>show mostly read and write drive
>>688391950It's a 7800 XT. Same uarch, same core config. It's around as fast as 4070.It's not a good look when a $700 console has a GPU as fast as a $450 graphics card from a year ago. Consoles are meant to be cheap, not $100-200 difference from the equivalent PC in which every part is sold for profit.
>>688387303oh they're giving us the tip alright
>>688387945Everyone who wants to play GTAVI
>>688393135Gta5 won't be 60fps. Not even close. The cpu isn't upgraded ffs
>>688387320Shit must be really grim for sony when they're price gauging so much
I can pay 3 months of rent with that shit
>>688387945Scalpers, who in turn will resell them for 2000 bucks, and people WILL buy them
>>688387310Bro the stand and disc drive came with regular PS5 I'm not paying for this lol
Since Xbox has basically thrown in the towel this generation, Playstation no longer has to compete on price.
>>688387945They know for a fact that they can shit on a plate and people will buy it. They were beginning to suspect as much back in 2016, but the 2020s have proven to them that so long as whatever they sell says PlayStation on it, people will buy it. They have ruined AAA video games.
PS4 Pro with 10 physical games was $1000.PS5 Pro with 1 physical game is $840.You are actually saving $160 compared to last gen. The nogaems strategy is paying off.
>>688387102https://skytechgaming.com/product/the-blaze-4-mini/ If I didnt have my pc I would just save the extra 200 and get this. snoys keked
>>688393196DD2 was CPU bound on the regular PS5. A 1GHz jump in clockspeed on an ancient 2019 CPU won't help. And it's not even the same as a 3700X because Snoy heavily gimped the CPU. It doesn't support 256 bit vector operations, has 4MB of L3 instead of 32MB and the FPU is gimped.Rockstar doesn't give a shit about 60fps, they didn't even update RDR2 on console to support framerates over 30. 30fps GTA VI until 2027 PC port lol
>>688387102Why the shit is it 80 dollars? PC disk drives are way fucking cheaper than that.Also, no fucking way I just received a warning from the jannies for saying sony fanboys are the biggest hardware loyalists. No fucking way.
>>688387102>80 usdthat's pathetic
>>688393818The PS5 equivalent is the $1200 7800 XT version thougheverbeit. Still a better deal than the PS5 Pro if we're being honest.
>>688387102>SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY NINE DOLLARS
>>688394003Goodness. Sony are smart though. Many kids and oblivious will get this Pro thinking it will run GTA6 the best
>>688387945sony playstation to be like apple, insane prices for the most mundane shit controller price also got raised by 5 usd this week
>>688390625Hasn't been true for a long time
>>688389392disc drive is 120 euros in euroland
>>688387102>80 US DOLLARS FOR A FUCKING CONSOLE DISC DRIVE >IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2024 I need this company to collapse before the end of this year.Astro bot was the one good thing Sony has done in the last 6 years, just erase this shitpile from orbit please and thank you
DEVELOPERSDEVELOPERSDEVELOPERSDEVELOPERS
799 US DOLLARS
>>688387102Sony is such a terrible company now. They’re so out of touch it’s unreal.
>>688387102In a normal generation the silver lining would be the PS5 slim dropping in price by about $100 but that doesn’t appear to be happening
>>688387102what do you need a disc drive for though?
Look. Concord lost a lot of money and Sony needs to recoup somehow. Can't you chuds have a heart for once?
>>688387235plus tax
>>688391182you dont need anymore than the lowest tier for online though
>>688397698Kek
>>688387102Where are the video games?
>>688387102How much was the PS5 like £450?This should have been £500 w/stand and disc drive and jet black like the PS2 and Xbox 360 Elite w/ black controller. Fumbled the bag here.
And?We all use steamNobody uses discs on a pc
So they’re going to make disc only games again to sell these right?
>>688390762a friend of mine purchased this exact prebuilt recently and is now laughing with me over the new priceskino
>>688400034>We all use steamyou will own nothing.
>>688400134Nobody does
>>688388728Sonybro, I..
>>688400175>Nobody does
>>688400708>degrades in a couple years
>>688400770nigger stfu i have snes cartridges and PSX discs in mind condition.
>>688400908>mind
>>688387102All people crying about price I hope it will bomb but modern consumers are too retarded.
Sony is digging their grave with this. They’re gonna lose so much money.
I was going to hold out for this to replace my overheating ps4 but without a disc drive it's a fucking £700 brick for me because ps5 certainly has no fucking games right now and it likely never will. I'm just done with consoles now.
>>688399347I can buy games from some stores up to £20 cheaper for physical than renting digital bollocks. Older games for even cheaper.
>>688387945consumer standards have never been lower. they'll get away with anything lol
>>688387102800 DOLLARS FOR PLAYSTATION 5 PRO DISC DRIVE MODEL.>but I don't need discs on my consoleThen go play on PC, lol. Going digital on a console is a horrendous idea. Never ever do that. You deserve all the bullying by PC fanboys if you play digital on console. You have no upsides to doing that.
>>688390494>The fucking plastic stand costs $50What the actual, sincere FUCK?!
>>688387102I bet a lot of normies won't realize that it doesn't have a disc drive and they'll buy it and then buy a game with it and then go home and be likeWait, where do I put the disc?
>>688391510So, Sony's usual fleecing practices - amplified because SIE is headquartered in the US nowadays.Fuck these rats. With a big rusty nailbat yielding all of them tetanus and lockjaw.
>>688402516>DISC DRIVE SOLD SEPARATELY (80 dollars)>VERTICAL STAND SOLD SEPARATELY (how much does it cost?)780 US DOLLARS WITHOUT TAX AND SHIPPING TO HAVE A PS5 PRO THAT FUNCTIONS LIKE A PS5 REGULAR.
>>688387945they are like Apple of video games, they can put a shit on the plate, put Sony logo on it and it will sell like hot cakes, watch europoors how they will cry everywhere about the price but when the pro launch it will break records in term of sales, especially during Christmas season
>>688402149Digital on console is fine if you've hacked it.
lol
Concord and now this. This is officially worse than the Wii U for a company’s console generation. We’re witnessing the near-death of Sony, and only time will tell if they pull a hypothetical Switch out of their ass with the PS6.
>>688402885>I'm a pirate>I'm a PC vegan>I'm a thiefokay third worldie russian. no one asked. This is a first world forum.
Why would you need a game disc reader for your PS5?
>>688403141Tear catcher holder
PS6 won't have a disc drive nor a disc drive accessory btwThey're selling the PS5 pro this way to make it the "norm"and then they'll phase out physical games and then you won't get to trade or resell shit
>>688403308Physical game collection is the one (1) gimmick remaining for consoles. They’re no longer affordable or more convenient compared to PC. Sony is hastening their own death.
>>688390941>They've ascended to DisneyThat's also Sony, Nintendo doesn't do nearly as many acquisitions to call them Disney.
Nintendo is going to rape Sony so muchthis is barely even a war anymore Sony is just killing theirselves in front of them

Yeah I’m Playstation 5 Pro-bably not going to buy it
>>688400708Nice drm you have there.
I’ve heard of on-disc DLC, but this is RIDICULOUS

>>688387945>Who's actually going to shell out money for this shit?Shills
>>688403308Once they drop physical games they have dropped me.Goodbye sony.
Concord was supposed to be the killer app for this, showcasing the massive improvements from the base PS5 to the Pro version. That's why they showed basically nothing of note and focused on a PS4 game of all things. Like imagine the Switch launch if BotW got cancelled last minute, that's basically what happened.
>>688401546>I was going to hold out for this to replace my overheating ps4On that note, you know what really pisses me off about PlayStation? They make basic maintenance a fucking herculean task that you need to do with the utmost care since they bury everything underneath hundreds of screws and easy to break plastic that you have to pry apart.If it were any other developer that issue could be solved just by cracking it open, replacing the paste and cleaning it and you'll be done in five minutes without risking damage.Fuck Sony man.
>>688392052>Removes GPU from your console>That'll be 80$ for the graphics upgrade, SnoyboysXboxisters eating so good rn
>>688403604>>688403779>3rd worldies are pirates and proudly annoyingYou will never be welcome.
>>688404004They already dropped you, Anon.They're literally saying that they don't want you anymore with the PS5 Pro and that you'll have to PAY for the Privilege to exist within their ecosystem by buying a drive or to fuck off and go digital.
$780 to play PS4 remasters, games already on PC, or the one exclusive that just apes Nintendo.
>>688404078Xshitters eat nothing but cow dung
>>688387102>>688387154>>688387235>>688387303It's hilarious seeing boomers making a big deal about the disc player. NEWFLASH: Literally everything is on the cloud now, including your precious LE HECKIN STEAM.
>>688404394Your mothers unwashed hairy vagina is in the Cloud
>>688390762>15 minute sale>AliBabahahahahahahaha the fucking REACHING you faggots do on this board and outright lying
>>688387102I own a PS5 and holy fuck. For what? Why would you by this? There are no exclusives because Sony according to the former Team Gravity head is only focused on big budget games so the console has zero exclusives. And all the games cost a flat 10 dollars more than steam. You have to pay for online. And now a $700 console with no srand or diskdrive included? Are you fucking high? Is this how they plan to recoup their losses? Just make the console do it? Like no memeing this is geuinely a waste of money. Why would you buy a pro when they've done fucking nothing with the PS5 still.
>>688404394>I OWN NOTHING AND RENEW MY RENTAL SUBS AND DIGITAL DRM ONLINE GAMESOkay. Still not buying digital games on my PS5, Switch, Wii U, 3DS XL.
>>688387102OH NO NO NO
At least Demon's Souls is getting a Pro version. They never even fucking bothered giving Bloodborne a PS4 Pro upgrade, that's half the reason the framerate and pacing is so fucked even on PS5.
The best part is there will still be games running at 30FPS. What a fucking joke.
>>688387102What's next? Controller sold separately?
>>688404634There are like 5 games that run at 30fps on the base PS5. I'm sure some dipshit developer will release an unoptimised turd but let's not pretend it'll be remotely common.
>>688404537>Okay. Still not buying digital games on my PS5, Switch, Wii U, 3DS XL.Riiiiight ... so I better not see any internet-installed media on your SSD or else you're a super hypocrite.
>>688404394My cracked steamworks dlls tell another story.
>>688387102>>688404690snoy is literally apple of gaming holy shit
>>688404394I can get games on disc like a week early, cheaper and trade them in, can't do that shit with digital you fucking retarded zoomer.>but I can watch muh favourite streamer play a week earl..Fucking kill yourself. You digital, lobotomised, bootlicking retards ruined it for everyone.

>>688388251They almost are. Have you seen how people are willing to spend double on a TV that has the Sony badge on it? This isn't meant to sell to the average person, it's to fleece brand whores.
>>688399347So I can watch my Twin Peaks complete collection blu-rays
>>688404619That nigger shit made in texas is not Demon's Souls.
>>688404394>doesn't burn his media to disksngmi
>>688387102This is peak ps3 era sony arrogance.
>>688387945Sony is actually right to do this, because the consumer has been getting more and more retarded as time goes on
i didn't bother with a disc drive in my new comp but my last one i built in 2015, a dvd-rw was $20. $80 is a scam
>>688387945Foodstamp Americans.
>>688393421>They were beginning to suspect as much back in 2016, but the 2020s have proven to them thatThis!and it isn't just Snoy, but every top industry player now knows just how stupid the average NPCattle is. Shit go back and watch 2020 vids of Cuomo or Newsom, they were scared at first thinking the goyim would hang them once they understood the premise of what they were shilling, but as time went on they grew all the more reckless. Shamelessly disobeying every rule they set, 0 fux given, 0 repercussions. That opened the floodgates to what we now see. They KNOW for a fact that the stupid goycattle will do as they say.
>>688390734>bro dudes who still think only consoles are socially acceptable and PC's turn you into nerds despite our lord and savior Henry Cavil being a PC chadBro you're the one who's out of touch, every teenager likes e celebs and streamers and all of them play on pc
PS5 Pro + Disc Drive + Stand secured! TLOU2 at 2% higher resolution finna be lit!
its the ps3 all over again
>>688407320It's even worse. At least the PS3 was a substantial leap over the PS2 in terms of power. This is a mid-gen refresh and lacking even in that category. The PS4 Pro had a much bigger improvement over the base PS4 and was half the fucking price of this.
>>688387102well this aged well
>>688387102We back to the 80s now
>>688387102I remember when you had to buy broadband adapters for the PS2 separately now you have to buy the disk drive separately. what is going on
>>688408940devices being connected to the internet is a non-negotiable in modern times and disk drives aren't. back then it was the other way around.
>>688409231Yeah, about that, this drive needs to be online to be activated too. Sony.
The future of gaming without physical is boring and soulless. I want off this train. I don’t wanna go from getting my copy in the mail, or driving to pick it and having a real experience attached to it, to “oh, it’s out now. Guess I can launch it.” As I sit at a computer. Modern convenience is a cancer that’s sanded away any potential edges to the point that it robs people of having memorable, tangible experiences. Going to a store and actually looking through games will always be better than scrolling through Steam or the PS Store. No to mention stuff like collectors editions which will likely go extinct. Companies like Sony are hell bent on killing the hobby they ostensibly provide.
DLC for games was bad enough. Now they're selling microtransactions for console hardware itself. I'd be more angry if Sega didn't start this dumb trend with the 32X and CD addons.
>>688410198too late anon-kun...Steam made physical obsolete decades ago, consoles will follow VERY soon.Time to sail the seas
>>688387945People bought that retarded wii u thingie they made for the console, they will buy anything at this point
>>688412161>NowLike you said, Sega did it back in the day. I love the Dreamcast and everything but those faggots deserved to crash and burn for the DLC shit alone.
>>688410198Physical is already dead, you're collecting demo discs. You don't get to complain 17 years after PS3 and 360 did it.
>>688412383I was kind of hoping this practice died off with trends like battle passes that punished people for buying used. Of course (((companies))) wouldn't give up a source of easy profit.
>>688412494I’ll complain for eternity.
>>688412550Sony refuses to learn from the Vita. You hate to see it.
>>688404394>the console is backwards compatible HOWEVER you should throw away all your PS4 discs and repurchase the new digital ""remasters""
>>688412494No it isn't. The only brand that's dead from pivoting to digital is Xbox Series consoles, which are the worst selling consoles. Nintendo Switch a physical king machine is still the market leader. PS5 still gets physical games.Cope you gaslighting demon rat. Google Stadia, Ouya, PSP Go, and Xbox Series S are all digital failure devices. Stay down like your dad stayed away from your house and you were raised by a single mom.
>>688412828Your copies are literally unplayable without downloadable content.
>>688387102What, you don't own a SONY CEE DEE? What are you waiting for, NINTENDO to make one?
>>688404394well, no wonder the kind of users sony is targeting now are people like you
>>688413603>YOU'VE SEEN THE GAMES, RIGHT?*shakes head*>wrong answer man. show em*5 minutes of a black screen*
>>688388728you're not serious, right? right???
>>688392052????https://www.amazon.com/s?k=bluray+drive+external&s=price-asc-rank
Unironically, being 100% serious, and please make sure you respond without sounding mad:Should we ban all Snoys here and/or contain them in their own board for the overall benefit of /v/? They don’t add anything to discussion and they clearly aren’t fans of games, just Snoy, so maybe they should have their own board and we can just consider it its own hobby.

It’s comforting to see that the PS5 pro comes with its prices already pre-scalped

>>688387945Snoys stopped pretending that a "$2500 peecee!!!" was unreasonable the minute lockdown hit and they were all buying ps5s for quadruple the price from scalpers. The price being too high (yes even during Bidencession) has always been a meme. Snoys are brand worshippers who will happily spend $5000 on an iPhone and $2000 on a console just so they can call other people poor and try to use their paperweights as a status symbol. See >>688388162

>>688387102You can tell the PS5 Pro was supposed to be $800, but even their top C-suit said that was fucking retarded, so they chopped off whatever they could to sell seperately and try to reduce the price however they could. But yeah, if you want the FULL PS5 Pro experience, that means getting the Disc Drive and Stand seperately which is another 100 bucks. 800 fucking bucks for a refreshed PS5. Absolutely ridiculous.

>>688397698At least this is fun to play.
>>688405563Californian price rigging
>>688387102The disc drive is sold for 130€ where I am at. And together with the 800€ asking price for the PS5 Pro itself, that' be 930€ for a PS5 Pro, provided you don't wish to be some digital-only cuck. And this isn't even taking Sony's forced annual online tax into account where they take your own internet service hostage if you don't pay up. One PS5 Pro. One Disc drive. One year of PS+. Adds up to almost exactly 1000€. And the PS+ cost will just keep on chugging as the years continue. The infamous FIVE HUNDRED NINETY NINE US DOLLARS was genuinely cheaper. Even if you insist on taking inflation and everything into account. Even if you don't even pay for PS+. And the PS3 had a fucking PS2 inside of it. And bluray players was a new and extremely expensive piece of hardware at the time. And the PS3 could even run linux natively. It was better. And yet the modern Playstationfag will defend the PS5 Pro.
Can the disc drive from the older PS5 physical systems be removed or are they built in?
>>688387154Man, for $800 you can build a pretty fucking decent PC from the ground up.
>>688418257>One PS5 Pro.>One Disc drive.>One year of PS+.>Adds up to almost exactly 1000€.

Yeah, always. It's out of the console market and wants to be in the in the PC gaming tier. But your argument is inherently dishonest by saying you need online sub to play on console. Typical PC fanboy dishonesty. Not surprised that PCMR fanboyism is the bulk of all platform warring in gaming, brand toxicity.
>fucked out of a 3080 because of covid scalpers, I'll just wait for the 40 series>fucked out of PS5 because of covid scalpers, might as well just wait for the Pro by the time availability normalizes and games actually come out>fucked out of the 40 series because of retard greedy covid pricing, maybe 50 series will be better>still fucking waiting for the 50 series>now PS5 Pro is absurdly expensive for no fucking reasonThese past years have been so fucking awful if you're trying to play high end PC and consoles. Guess this is the year I buy a high end OLED for my PC. It's like all these fucking companies don't want my money. I have fucking money but why pay these retarded prices when you're not fuck-you-rich? The value isn't there.
>>688404394>buy ps5 and a bunch of physical games for it>want to upgrade to ps5 pro>have to spend an extra $80 or else you lose access to all those games you bought
>>688418548>But your argument is inherently dishonest by saying you need online sub to play on console.Bro. The system artificially gimps your games if you don't pay. How is it dishonest to present having access to online play and features as the default? >yeah the ps6 will demand players an annual fee in order to have game audio >b-but you don't actually need audio to play games! >it's inherently dishonest to say you need an audio-sub to play on console! This is you but you're doing it for online play instead. Why?
>>688391749>>688392146Hmm, looks like a good purchase. I think you can edit the fan settings, check it out on YouTube.I'm still on a 1070 but looking to upgrade, so I'm glad I stumbled across your post.
>>688418808Compared to the SeXbox which I can literally toss a game from the original Xbox into the console a quarter of a century later, and it just werks.
>>688418450probably, but seeing how they can lock you out from using the disc drive of the system already, when you factory reset the whole system, it seems they already had a plan to turn it into a type of service for Playstation 5 owners who only own physical games.
>>688387235The vertical stand is $30so the subtotal is $810in my state that's $867 total due to sales tax
>>688418548>Mid Range Gaming PC: 1,100 dollars>Entry Gaming PC: 900 dollarsIf you budget right, a $900 PC should be at least modestly better than a PS5, if not a fair bit better. An actual "entry level" PC would probably be more like $700 if you're smart about sales and not getting memed into buying RAINBOW LED GAMING PRO BLACK GOLD ULTRA EDITION parts.
Man PC fanboys will always be dishonest. No $500 gaming PC exists in the same threshold as Xbox Series X or PS5 disc models. Did all the hair from their go to their ears and this is how they cope about GTA6 not having a PC release until they're 60 year old men in 2029 making PC fanboy brand warring messages? Good grief.
>Pushing into the realm for 1000cad for a fucking consoleI am just building a fucking PC at that point, what the fuck are they smoking
For $800 I can just upgrade to a 4070 Ti.
>>688419328The RTX 4090 costs 2000 dollars. The RTX 4060 costs 300 dollars. The price of a single PC component, the GPU.
>$800 to play Astro Bot and a Demon's Souls remakeDo Snoys really?
>>688419464If you have any 30 series card you can probably pay for at least half of your 50 when those come out
>>688419483If you think the PS5 pro is going to be pushing 4090 power i've got a console with no optical drive to sell you
Don't need games if you don't have a disc drive
>games start charging an extra $10 for the base version for no reason as well
>>688419295Still not buying your 899$ paperweight.
>>688387102It would be hilarious to scalp the fuck out of these. Imagine all the snoys with useless $700 consoles.
This is going to backfire horribly, console players probably have on average less disposable income which means they're probably getting hit by the current costs of everything going up quite a bit harder, they're not going to even be able to choke on this dick even if they want to
>>688404004Is the same deal here. I have garbage-tier internet, and the whole reason I had a PS4 in the first place was so I could play those bloated 50gb games without waiting a week on it to download. Now we're in the era of bloated 100gb+ games for some fucking reason despite not looking that much better than an upper-tier PS4 game.
>>688419295>No $500 gaming PC exists in the same threshold as Xbox Series X or PS5 disc models.Yeah.For starters, PC has games.Consoles today are Schrodinger's Graphics.You won't know that the console is as powerful as it says it is until you play a game. Fortunately, that particular box can stay closed forever if you simplyHave no games.
>>688400708>cuckuza sequels>censored ports>pozzed remakes>tranny localized weebshitYou really do own nothing.
>>688419280Yeah a lot of people are bad with value when it comes to PCs. A zoomer buddy of mine asked me to take a look at his parts list that his other zoomer friend made for him and I was able to scratch like 300 bucks off the cost and put it into an entire higher tier of GPU matching the original budget. There's so much money to save in motherboards, fans, coolers, and RAM nowadays. Never used to be this fucking bad, motherboards especially, they're fucking thieves charging prices like this for almost no gain aside from niche use cases and OCfags. And another thing too, you can spend a little more than "normal" on a good PSU for your first PC and fucking never buy another one. I am getting value out of my PSU almost 10 years later. Same with a good cooler manufacturer that sells socket bracket upgrades and fans.
>>688413817That's a lot of slop man.
>>688400708good games bro, hope you enjoy! Don't forget a lot of platform warring on /v/ is just PC fanboys, they're inherently the most vile toxic brand fanboys out there in video game culture.

>>688387945People paid upwards of $1000 for a PS5 from scalpers. Xbox as a brand is in the dumpster, most consumers only want a PS5. All they need to do is show off GTA6 with PS5 Pro exclusive grafics modes, and it will sell just fine.
>>688424934Price of all PS5s went up in Japan recently. They keep the price down in North America where Xbox has more of a presence.
there is one thing i like about all this, and that is, beside trolls and baitposting, all of /v/ agrees that this move is absurd and insane on all front and that only collectors, cultfags, and other deadbrains would buy this and that no one in their right mind would buy it for real, not even sony fans

this is all part of a conspiracy to move away from physical game media
>>688387945It's because they know they can get away with it. Microsoft has like 40 IQ and Nintendo isn't even in the same field as the Playstation. Sony is basically running uncontested.
>>688390762>4060kek. nope.
Or build a PC, play whatever you want however you want, and not deal with locked down price gouging bullshit.
>>6884287464060 has less VRAM but it’s still more powerful. People underestimate how weak the PS5 is. Don’t forget it’s also AMD which is objectively worse than Nvidia so comparing their DLSS clone to the real thing is dishonest. At $700 it’s worthless anyway and there’s no point in arguing about it.
>>688429029its about the ps5 pro. a 4060 is not more powerful than the ps5 pro will be. also no doubt that prebuilt has some absolute dogshit chink memory and psu combo. just build an actual pc yourself and not cripple the performance with some shit parts and one of the worst gpus ever made and you will ultimately spend maybe slightly more money due to buying a non shit shit gpu but with better memory, better psu, better cpu even and a non retarded GAMER CASE with tranny rgb fans.buying a 4060 is absolutely retarded. its a shit gpu and its also 8gb vram which is just fucking useless

>>688418548>pc dishonesty >calls a $900 pc entry level
>>688430452this shit is so bad that everyone simultaneously forgot Sony just raised the price of ps5 controllers by 5 dollars "for no reason"
>>688429650if you cared about owning things you wouldnt buy a locked down version of a pc with proprietary everything, you would buy a pc where you can almost play every game in existance ever forever at any time, just by having one executable you can duplicate however many times you wantinstead of relying on a disc with partial game data anyway that cant be cloned after it rots in a decade or gets scratched at any moment until then
>>688390319Some of my PS4 -> PS5 "upgrades" are tied to discs. If they're going for full backward compatibility with future PlayStations they'll need to account for this.
