I had got this at launch and it flaked in months.

It usually happens if you keep them in airtight spaces….keep them in well ventilated places & they should last for decades.

 

My PSgold lasted 5 years…until I kept in drawer & forgot.

Same happened with PSplatinum within a year for same reason.

 

Don’t keep them away from air.

 This guy at Mx2games already listed PS5 Pro imported 

 

Taking preorders even before Sony

These guys get to sourcing work as soon as release dates are out.

 

They will make huge margins on imported(read smuggled) units.

 

I myself whenever get it would like to get it from North American or Asian Region.

 

Pal region super expensive!!

This price seems super reasonable tbh. And he will most likely hike it as it gets closer to launch. 

 

The official price will be at least 10-15k more than this.

He wont honour the price though. If he hikes it he will cancel the order

If he sources it from US he’ll still have a margin of around 10k.

Usually grey market importers work on margins of 4-5k per unit so it should be doable, but i dont think this guy is a direct importer. He mainly sources from other sellers (basically a middle man type situation)

NorthAm is best bet.

MX2 games give discounts only on official India releases. If unofficial then they hike it by 100%. Since PS5 Pro is coming to India, they are giving a discount but at the cost of warranty.

[AnK]

I assume it will be around 78k here in India as PSslim was 55k at launch.

 

Which is a tad bit more than the direct conversion of the € prices.

 

will buy next year with GTA6 & MW4 if MP’s are good & significantly more optimised.

[Big Boss]

Still way cheaper than iPhone which I was planning to buy. PS5 pro + disc drive will still be cheaper than iPhone

Damn, the Pro looks even better than the base PS5 Fidelity mode, all the while holding 60fps.

 

Kinda regret finishing FF7Rebirth on base PS5 now

Base PS5

I uninstalled Horizon forbidden West. Will directly play it on pro whenever I get it 

[Zod]

 

Who did that  comparison.? DF or twitter user?

 

That Base PS5 screenshot is from Performance mode where textures and resolution is lowered to hit 60fps. I remember textures looked really good in Quality mode. Those cant be from Quality mode?? 

 

 

Basically Pro running it in Quality mode at 60fps with PSSR applied.

What I was expecting/what Cerny's message indicated: Pro will run quality mode at 60 fps

 

What pro will actually do: Enhance the performance mode using pssr to make it look like quality mode and run at stable 60 fps

 

This is fine but slightly falls short of I was expecting. I will wait for more actual analysis of DF after pro is launched and then pull the plug to see if it's that much of an upgrade over PS5. Or even wait for a killer game that shows how much PS5 pro is a necessity compared to PS5.

 

PS4 pro or even one X were instant buys for me because of their exclusive performance modes. PS5 pro unless it keeps getting exclusive performance mode won't be as much as a mandatory purchase it looks like.
