    From someone who is all-in on Sony stuff (PS4 & PS4 Pro, PSVR1 & 2), this is tone deaf. Too much money for 5 Pro with not enough to show for it. Let alone disc drive and stand are extra too. Bizarre.

      Disc drive I can understand, with the push for digital, but vertical stand? That’s just cheap.

        It feels like a weird time to launch it too. 60million are still on PS4. This is just going to fragment things even more for gamers and developers alike.

          If I was buying a PS5 today? I’d buy the more powerful one.

          But will I be upgrading from my 2020 PS5? Not unless it breaks.

      Agreed. I’m a lifetime PS fan going all the way back to nearly 30 years but Sony has completely turned me off to the idea of ever buying another console from them again. My PS5 (disc version) is probably my biggest financial regret of the last two years

      The games look great, but not noticably greater than what the PS5 already does. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      Yeah, just get a PS5 slim? should be fine if you don’t want the disc, or buy used PS5. My launch PS5 is still doing really well. But I stopped playing any multiplayer game on it and stopped PS Plus.

        I was really happy with Ratchet and Clank, Spider-Man 2, and Final Fantasy XVI. Although I think all are on PC now.

          I’m a big fan of Naughty dogs’s games and so far, they haven’t annonced anything. So far I think my most played game might be days gone :D

      Sony’s been tone deaf since at least the 2011 hack, possibly since the price and architecture of the PS3.

      Being “all-in” on Playstation at this point is like defending an abuser.
