@Somapix

Remember when you tried to tell me they weren't releasing games for PS4 anymore haha

Great for the collectors but once you've played Tetris Effect or Tetris 99 nothing else will compare

@Artois2

I guess the point I'm making is that for £700 it should come with one as standard.

The fact it's an extra £100 is quite frankly an insult

@riceNpea

Personally I would have preferred the option to buy one with a disc drive as standard rather than being forced into buying it as an "optional" extra

Flexibility would have been to offer a couple of different models.

Maybe one at £700 with a drive and then perhaps a cheaper version without.

The way they've done it feels like an insult making an already expensive product even more expensive

@riceNpea

Yeah I can't understand why they don't, that free version of E football is just awful

@riceNpea

I ordered a Pre loaded usb off eBay for £12.99

It came this afternoon and I've now got all the latest kits and squads.....

I'll never need to play FIFA (Sorry EA Sports FC) again 😂

To be fair they do look really nice....... however £55 for a plastic cover ???

Seriously can someone please stop the Earth from spinning because I want to get off

@ZeroSum

Thanks I might give that a go some time.

Still annoying that it's impossible to just delete and start over though

Haven't played this for such a long time, it's so frustrating that I can't just delete the games stored data and start again from scratch

@riceNpea

Thank you I'll look into it.

I managed to get myself a pre owned copy of PES 2021 this afternoon.

Cost me a fair bit as they seem to be selling for silly prices but I feel it was a good investment.

It's a million times better than that Free E Football rubbish

@riceNpea

I appreciate this may not be the right place to ask..... but regarding PES 2021

Have you any idea how I can update it so that you get all the upto date kits and squads?

I should add that I don't have a PC so I'm wondering if there's maybe a pre loaded usb drive I can pick up somewhere.

If you don't know then don't worry.... just thought I'd ask

@Khwarezm89

Funnily enough I did actually buy a PS Portal.

it was a Nice bit of kit but my internet at home (whilst being fairly decent) just couldn't handle it.

It was fine if I was home alone but as soon as someone else was at home online (my daughter playing Roblox on her iPad as an example) it made it go all glitchy and it was borderline unplayable.

I sold it after a week while it was still in high demand.

@riceNpea

It's madness isn't it... the game play is so good but basically just a bare bones game.

I don't mind FIFA to be honest, I think it's better than people give it credit for but this year I've just refused pay £70 for a reskin

Been trying to get into E football and attempting to give this years FC25 a miss

I wouldn't say I'm coming round to it, I still think it's far too expensive for what it is, and I won't be convinced otherwise.

However what I have done is to just move on and accept that it's simply not for me and that I'm probably not part of the targeted audience.

To those that have ordered one, I wish you all the best with it

@MrPeanutbutterz

I'm just going to respectfully disagree with you

Have a great weekend

@Rich33

You could well be right in that the PS6 may well be further away than people think.

I honestly believe that we've almost reached a ceiling in terms of how good they can make the games look, of course there will always be improvements but they will never be night and day differences like they used to be when buying a new console.

I hope you enjoy your purchase anyway, my next purchase will be whatever Nintendo offers up next year (by the looks of it a more powerful Switch)

In the meantime I'm quite happy to slum it (joke) with my day one PS5 until the PS6 launches.

Even then I'll probably be in no major rush as I'm fairly confident that we'll see the vast majority of PS6 games released as cross gen on PS5 as well (for a good few years at least)

@TheElectroFunky

Please don't feel you need to apologize for a lengthy reply 😂

It actually makes a refreshing change to get a sensible and polite reply rather than it turning into a slanging match / game of one upmanship.

It's nice to know you agree with the points I made

Same goes to you @Medic_alert

@TheElectroFunky @Medic_alert

Personally I'd never refer to anyone as a Dumbo for buying one, people are free to spend their hard-earned money on whatever they wish. I've always been one for having to have the latest technology myself but I do honestly think that they've priced it too high this time.

I get that people will say it's an enthusiasts model and not necessarily for everyone, etc etc, but it genuinely does terrify me how much they're going to want to charge us for the PS6 which will obviously have even higher specs when the time comes.

If I remember correctly the standard PS4 launched at £350 ish..... a few years later the PS4 Pro released at around £399 and then a few more years later the PS5 released for £450. A reasonable and steady increase I think we can all agree.

This just seems like a massive jump when comparing to previous models and I'm just worried that it sets a bad president for the future.

I think given the previous trend, most people were probably expecting the PS5 Pro to be around £550 (£600 at a push)

But £700 is a step too far for many people

Naa.... I did have a passing interested in one until they revealed the price.

Since then I've watched several of these side by side comparison videos and I'm honestly not just saying this to be bitter but I can barely tell any difference.

Does it make the games look a bit better? Yes it probably does..... under a forensic microscope

Is it enough to justify me spending £700 (£800 if I want a disc drive).... No thanks I'm quite happy with my OG PS5 (complete with integrated disc drive)

Like it or not, Nintendo were the first to have an X button.

Everyone else has simply copied their template..... admittedly Sony in particular have improved on it, The PS5 controller is probably my favourite controller of all time but it cannot be argued that all the modern controller lay outs owe their heritage to the Super Nintendo

I'm getting Paper boy vibes

On a serious note though, that 20 second clip doesn't show nearly enough info

The PS5 Pro

Redefining the term "Having more money than sense"

For £700 I should bloody well hope so

I bet all 3 of the 8k TV owners in the world will be absolutely thrilled with this news.

If one of them also happens to be daft enough to waste their money on a PS5 Pro as well, they might just be able to see what all the fuss is about

Down at comment number 35 and barely a single negative response so far.... that's got to be some kind of record

It could also just be that this article was over shadowed by all the other info that dropped last night

@Fishmasterflex96

That's a good point, I'd genuinely forgotten about it now coming under Microsoft umbrella

Another great game franchise that they own and will likely do absolutely nothing with it

Hoping to see Tony Hawkes Pro Skater 3 & 4 remastered

@Somapix

Are you being serious? Of course they are

I mean it is getting better (as it should be considering the PS5 is almost 4 years old) but there are still loads of games that get released as Cross Gen

There was even an article on this very website this morning listing them all

https://www.pushsquare.com/guides/new-ps4-games-release-dates-in-2024

I absolutely love my PS5 but I'll certainly be in no rush to upgrade to a PS6.

Wouldn't surprise me if (when the time comes) they're still releasing games for all 3 consoles, 4, 5 & 6

I'm sorry but I'm with Nintendo on this one.

It basically just a Pokémon rip off.

My only real suprise is that it's taken Nintendo this long to take action

Smyth's is where I tend to buy any physical games from but I am slowly transitioning to digital purchases

As long as it's not a THPS 5 remaster consider me interested

I've been considering getting a 2nd PS5 so I can have one upstairs on my monitor and one downstairs on the TV.

I was holding out to find out more info on the Pro but the price has completely turned me off it.

I think I'll just pick up the slim digital model for £389

@Cypher_Unknown

Yeah it's more the future that I'm concerned about than the here and now if this is the way prices are heading.

I'm more than happy with my standard PS5 and will continue to enjoy it without any FOMO on the Pro.

I'm hoping I can still rely on Nintendo to pump out reasonably priced products... I'm really looking forward to finding out more about the Switches successor

@Cypher_Unknown

I think you're missing my point.

The Pro itself doesn't price me out as I've already got a standard PS5 and I don't particularly need a Pro.

It's looking to the future that scares me.

The PS6 will obviously be even more beefed up and powerful and this is where i'll probably be priced out.

There's no way the PS6 will sell for any less than this.... if anything it's likely to be more ...... much more...... and that scares the Hell out of me

I've owned every Playstation so far, but if this is a sign of what's to come that I feel the PS6 will be beyond what I'm prepared to pay

Are they selling any refurbished PS5 Pros by any chance

@GrimWillows

I think it's a fair comparison.

Let's go back to the PS4, the base model I believe started off at £350. A few years later the PS4 Pro came along at £399.

Then a few more years after that the PS5 released at £450 (Now bizzarly selling for £479).

You can see the pattern developing though can't you??

@PsBoxSwitchOwner

I'd love to be proven wrong and only time will tell but I'd be amazed if the PS6 starts at any less than this.

The only way it's cheaper is if this Pro absolutely bombs and they realise most people (not everyone obviously but most) just aren't prepared to pay that much for a Games console

@PsBoxSwitchOwner

that may well be true but it still strikes the fear of god into me worrying what they will try to get away with charging for the PS6 when that inevitably releases.

The PS6 will have even better specs so they will presumably charge even more... not less

Absolutely not, you'd think they'd learn from pricing the VR2 at such a high price point

What I'm more worried about is where this leads too in the future ..... how much are they going to want for the PS6???

I think I've just been officially priced out of my favourite hobby

I'm sorry but £699 is absolutely insane

Price creases aren't great at any time but I already own 2 Duel sense controllers and unless one of them breaks I'm very unlikely to ever need to purchase another one.

Long story short I won't be losing any sleep over it as it will (hopefully) have Zero impact on me personally

Shame.

This game has been on my radar for quite some time but I think I'll probably have to leave it a while longer till it hopefully receives a patch

I picked the mostly happy option.

Whilst I probably wouldn't have gone out and bought any of the 3 games, it's quite rare to get a month when we get 3 games that I genuinely would like to try.

@WhiteRabbit

Sounds about right haha

@Rog-X

How exactly would you be restricting yourself to 1 x AAA title??

I'm really sorry but you've completely lost me lol

I don't understand how having a PS5 in addition to your PC would restrict you.... surely having both would give you more options.... not less

Not bad, not bad at all.

It's rare that we get 3 games at once I'd actually like to try

Absolutely not!!!! if those PC scruffs wanna play it tell them to buy a PS5 like the rest of us

edit: I feel I should add a small disclaimer to clarify that I am just joking before someone gets offended and my comment gets deleted
