PS5 Info

[Jason]

Now that there are some PS5 Pros out in the wild, it's been confirmed that it comes with an additional 2GB of DDR5 RAM. I also did not realize that it comes with a 2TB SSD drive. I'd seriously consider getting one if the price was $100 cheaper.

I think I want the Pro now. I'd sell off my OG model and a Series S if I do.

Sony Direct is offering $350 for a PS5 Digital Edition (with controller) towards the purchase of a PS5 Pro (when in stock). That's a great deal.

Sony may have overestimated demand for the PS5 Pro. It's currently in-stock and available on all online stores and PlayStation Direct. I'd love to see all the scalpers get fucked over the availability of the console.

They're going to get fucked, I walked into BB today and bought one. Gonna sell my OG to someone I know, or it's going to the local game store.

Unloaded my OG PS5 and Series S. Found a disc drive for my Pro at WallyWorld today.

I'm surprised you bought a disc drive. I thought you were all digital. How are you liking the Pro so far?

I'm considering giving my older son my PS5 and getting the Pro since they're readily available everywhere.

I'm all digital, yes, but wanted to have options if things start to get delisted, plus it's yet one more UHD player. I also just want to get the thing fully pimped, I got the vertical stand, and I'm putting in a Seagate  1TB SSD .   Overall, I'm digging it, obviously it's more of a future-proofing thing, and my coil whiny OG was 3 years old. The Pro is very quiet, just a bit of fan noise if you listen very carefully. So, not quite as silent as the Series X, but quieter than any other console I've had.

I'd get the vertical stand too, especially with the cheap plastic horizontal clips. This is the first generation of consoles (PS5 and Series X) that look better standing vertically. Unfortunately, I have to keep both of mine laying on their sides.

Fat PS2's look good vertical, Slim and SuperSlim PS3's as well. Xboxes never did till Series models.
