I’m going across Engadget’s gaming section and I notice the above headline, which I’d imagine is a hype article for Sony’s upcoming marginal upgrade to the Playstation 5 that constitutes a “Pro” label and a price hike. The article itself does specify that those who are content with their current PS5 console don’t need a Pro, but for those who want more… well, your mileage may vary on that count, but I haven’t been sold on a PS5 Pro just yet.
Point being that I don’t need a PS5 Pro. I don’t even have a PS4. There’s nothing on there that has me going “this is a must have right now” rather than “let’s wait ten more years before I can buy one at a swap meet for fifty bucks.” Hell, I’ve got TWO PS3s on hand – the slim model that I bought a few years back and the OG model with PS1 and PS2 backwards compatibility – and neither has seen much in terms of playtime.
I’m not saying no one should buy this thing. If the PS5 Pro’s offerings interests you and you have money to spare, then by all means, go for it. But at that money, you can buy a decent PC and do much more with it. Not saying that as a PC Master Race thing – I just more value for my money, especially if it’s a lot of money being spent on one thing.
Anyway, tomorrow’s a Gimmick Table out of nowhere. Wish me luck.
