It's time to see what surprise PlayStation has in store for the future, with its PS5 Technical Presentation broadcast. Will we see a PS5 Pro? Or will it be something unexpected? Find out now, because the 9-minute livestream is kicking off now. We'll be summarizing the event as it airs, to stay tuned.

Cerny kicks off by going back to the PlayStation 5's launch, detailing the hardware in the system, and how it was an improvement from the PlayStation 4. Graphics, sound, haptics.

Developers have been wanting more, though. Having to choose between fidelity and performance mode has been an issue. Performance mode has been 75% more popular.

He casually drops PS5 Pro's announcement.

A larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, AI-driven upscaling, and more.

This improves the framerate performance for current PS5 games, with higher quality graphics.

He claims it's double the power of PS5.

We get to see a showcase of better graphics and smoother framerates in first-party PS5 games.

Ray-tracing has seen a large upgrade. Better reflections, shadows, and background details.

​

November 7 launch, for $699.99.

Confirmed separately on the PlayStation Blog was the fact that the system will NOT be launching with a disc drive, which you'll be able to buy separately for $79.99.

Because we really needed a more powerful ps5! Current ps5 games are struggling to run!
Seriously, this generations games look marginally better than the last. What could a pro possibly bring to the table.

So once you add the disc drive and vertical stand you're probably looking at £800 in the UK, it would also be about $800 in the US, so the UK version is actually $1,046...

I would have been alright with upgrading and trading the old one in, but they can shove it with that pricing.

Also you can guarantee scalpers are going to buy up the disc drives now they're the only choice to get one of these with a drive.

That's assuming there's that many people interested buying it.

And I don't suppose they're going to drop the price of the original PS5.. That'd be the best news to come from this.

$700 for a PS5 Pro

$80 for a disc drive attachment (if you want to still play PS4 games)

$30 for a vertical stand

$60 for Astro Bot (or at least one game)

$200 for a Playstation Portal (if you want to be lazy and play in your bed)

$130 for a 5TB Seagate Game Drive HDD

Total: ~$1200 USD


Oh yeah, it's gamer time

"If you still want to play PS4 games"

PS5 games are on disc, too.

Remember the chip shortage a few years ago when people were buying midrange graphics cards and PS5s for almost a grand? I think Sony does too.

 

[SonowRaevius]

Damn, is Sony being run by Apple now or something? Because this really seems like some Apple shit to do.

I want to buy an OG PS5 and there's a Sony store somewhat nearby, so I'll visit it tomorrow or the day after to see if they have any.

They do have one on display so who knows. A PS5 with 4.50 or less would be pretty sweet.

Sony can keep the PS5 Pro.

 

[Jayro]

Sony is making everyone else pay for their Concord fuck up.

 

[Latiodile]

sony really lost their damn minds. it's one bad decision after another. if u have the original ps5 there really isn't a need for a upgrade
this is the ps3 era all over again but worst

at least the launch PS3 had more features than the current iteration of the ps5, it could launch PS3 games which Sony are deathly terrified of

 

[Dark_Ansem]

A reference to Nintendo, I suspect. Tendinno can be rewritten as Nintendo and Mario is Italian.

Correct

For their own airplane

 

[Jayro]

You could buy a few MiSTer FPGA setups, intead of a PS5 Pro.

 

[Bagel Le Stinky]

that is NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS canadian

 

[CoolMe]

Sony-flation.
Somehow the design looks even worse than the original. And you have to buy the disc drive separately?? It should come with it with no additional cost, even if it's separate from the console, for those who want it for their physical discs..
2ndly, where are the games, Sony? Powerful hardware upgrade or not

 

[Marc_LFD]

BD/DVD
CD Player
Super Audio CD
Linux OS
PS1/PS2 BC
Free Online Play

And now... Almost all that is gone.

 

[BigOnYa]

that is NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS canadian

Or $14,047 Mexican Peso's.

So, will the scalp version will be doubled this?

I don't think they thought this through very well.

I'm not sure if they are thinking at all, at this point.

Eight. Fucking. Hundred.

Perfect avatar for all this.

Just like Sony, you forgot VR.

On reflection, is this gonna be Sony's "don't you guys have phones" moment?

for those who forgot

More like a throwback moment.

For a product to be scalped it needs to be sold out and I doubt it will, maybe I'll be proven wrong.

I'd like to buy a brand new OG PS4 with 4.50 OFW or less, but incredibly rare now especially at a reasonable price.

what year is it?
