Official PS5 Thread

HI friends. Question. I bought 2 months ago Xbox Series X. Will be worth to upgrade to PS5 Pro or not? ( thx ). Also planning to buy pc but this is other thing.

every shiny new piece of hardware you want to buy- PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X, RTX 5090, Arrow Lake...you don't have to buy everything...you probably want to buy the new iPhone 16 Pro Max as well

Do we have a source, a bit every where people use word like almost certainly rdna3--unconfirmed today.


As previously leaked via developer documentation, the PS5 Pro's FP32 performance is 33.5 TFLOPS. That's a whopping 3.25x higher than the PS5's 10.3 TLFOPS. However, just as NVIDIA changed the FP32 conversion rate starting with the RTX 30 series Ampere architecture, AMD has also doubled the FP32 count compared to the previous official figure with the "dual-issue" SIMD method starting with the Radeon RX 7000 series and RDNA 3.

Other than a couple of games from this gen, most games for the PS5 are Indy projects that don't take advantage of the hardware, as awesome as the pro sounds, unless they release a bunch of games that push the hardware to the limit, I will just wait for the ps6.
 
I think that controller looks killer. I'm definitely gonna try to hunt one of those down.
 
30th Anniversary consoles and accessories detailed. Pretty slick, imo. I'm sure the consoles themselves will sell out fast, but hoping I can at least snag a controller.

Yeah, if I can snag one, I'll prolly ever up buying one of these Pros. Providing it's still $700 and includes the stand. But the issue is; there's seemingly no plate for the disc drive if you add it on. 😑

I imagine most people buy these to keep in the package to sit on and sell later or scalp immediately. But I'd like to actually use it with a disc drive and theme intact.
 
I'm down to replay the Lunar games. Those were some of my favorite old school RPG's of all time. I don't think I ever did win the second one. From what I recall I wasn't strong enough to beat the final boss and couldn't go anywhere else at that point, so I was just boned.
 
PS5 Pro goes on sale tomorrow exclusively from the PlayStation Direct store...rumors are it launches at 10:00 AM ET

Yeah, some of my faves too - never played the original Sega CD (iirc) versions, but started with the PS1 releases.

Actually was playing the PSP remake not that long ago - I didn't mind the graphical overhaul but much prefer the new 'FF Pixel Remaster'-esque look of this newly announced remake. Though my real preference would've been a '2D HD' (or whatever it's called) style that the new Dragon Quest 3 remake is using.
 
I was recently thinking about replaying Lunar. It been a couple decades and then the remaster news came out. Suck we have to w a it til next year still.

I loved Silver Star Story (though it was a bit too easy), but didn't care for Eternal Blue. Not sure why.

Anyway, just hoping I can grab the Pro tomorrow. I'm wondering how long before scalpers buy them all.
 
State of disappointment. Only thing that peak my interest was the Lunar collecting remaster.
I would say that I hope the English translation is going to be better, but with the state of the current localization industry it may turn out worse with memes and internet speak.
pre-orders start tomorrow...
On PlayStation Direct. Pre-orders start October 10 at retailers.
 
I don't think pre-orders will be necessary for the Pro. Scalpers are going to get burned on them.

when you visit the PlayStation Direct Store a message pops up:

"Preorders for PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection and PS5 Pro will begin at 7am PDT (10am EDT)"
 
There's a queue system in place right now on Playstation Direct. Hoping to snag a controller.

I've never bought hardware from the US site, hoping it doesn't error out as I'm in Canada (but will be using my US PO Box for shipping).
 
Your estimated wait time is: more than an hour.

Well, figuring the UK version sold out in seconds, I think I missed the window.

Same here. :-/

I see the PS5 Pro (non 30th) is available on BestBuy.ca for pre-order; I was able to add it and begin the checkout process with no issue. $1075.19 CAD (no thanks). I'm thinking vegeta might be on to something about PS5 Pro not making scalpers much money.

PS5 Pro...no money.

30th anniversary edition...potentially a decent amount. I see NIB 20th anniversary PS4's going for $1500 on ebay. $399 new? I don't remember.

I'm guessing at "more than an hour" I have no shot at any 30th anniversary gear.
 
You have to buy a bundle for the 30th PS5 pro. It is $1k. And you get the a edge controller with it. I backed out. I have no need to buy this crap.
 
Managed to get the Pro (don't really care about the anniversary edition) and the new controller. Not sure I even want the controller.

My credit card was charged and deducted like everyone else, but I haven't received a confirmation email.
 
Got in and only the 30th Wireless Edge and Portal were still available (didn't bite on either).

i tried to order the concord controller, for the lols, but it wouldnt let me....
 
As in, all the regular consoles are sold out as well?

The 30th Slim was listed as 'Unavailable', I didn't see a listing for the 30th Pro (or the bundle that Vegeta mentioned), but there were still regular Pro's left. The 30th controller (non-edge) that I was hoping for wasn't listed.
 
I could have bought a regular PS5 Pro when I made it through the queue, but I'm wasn't paying $700 for it. 30th anniversary edition or bust (turned out to be a bust).
