    So if you want a disc drive and have your console vertically, it’s actually £825.

    All that just for a bit of upscaling.

        I like the idea of a PlayStation 5 pro, but at that price I don’t think it’s worth it. That’s how I felt about the PlayStation portal too. Like it seems like a cool idea, but not for that price. Honestly I felt the same way about the psvr2 as well, but I ended up picking that up when it went on sale.

    If physical disc drives disappear, I might leave consoles and only use a Linux gaming PC as they would lose a big advantage in my eyes.

    In a way, I guess we really need Xbox to get back to shape so that Sony doesn’t become the only player in its market and doesn’t try anything stupid.

    This or Valve releasing a gaming console/pc for your leaving room for approximately the price of a ps5.

    But I just made a comparison online as I was trying to buy Star Wars Jedi Survivor and the game is around 80 dollars on Steam, 40 dollars on the ps store and 49 dollars for the physical version on ps5 on a swiss (my country) online retailer. So when people are saying that games are always cheaper on pc, I don’t think it’s always the case.

      A “console” like box, where games run on a click, without fiddling with anything, at competitive pricing and power. If valve can provide that, they can take over a huge market. Well, they are already doing it with SteamDeck, but a proper home console would bring them in direct competition with PS and Xbox.

      I haven’t looked at AAA games, but pretty much any indie I have looked up is cheaper on Steam than on Switch or PS.

        Yeah it would need to be straightforward and with as little settings as possible as I don’t think it’s what console gamers are looking for. Just watching at videos about games running on Steam Deck and seeing how many different settings you have to choose to get the game running is depressing for me.

        About the prices, I also checked Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty and it was 5 dollars cheaper on PS Store than on Steam. It’s clearly not a small indie game though…

    All respect to the “GPU Upgrade” I can’t help but feel they added FSR, slapped a $700 sticker on it and called it Pro.

    I’ve never been attracted by pc gaming, but the disappearance of disc drives and the high prices of PlayStation hardware these days is making me consider buying a Linux gaming PC after this generation.

    I’d never thought this as I always saw so many advantages in console gaming…

    But who knows, an optional disc drive on ps6 might still be proposed.

      The Steam Deck is as close to a console as one could reasonably get while still offering all the flexibility and openness of a Linux PC.

      I’m on my second (upgraded to an OLED), and I’m crazy satisfied with it.

      I have a PS5 that goes mostly unused. I purchased the PS5 to continue my library from the PS4, but I’ve been really disappointed by this console generation. It doesn’t feel like it was much of an upgrade given not many games target the PS5 alone. And now Sony is doing a Pro for what purpose exactly?

        The Steam Deck is a really exciting project and I might buy its successor but I guess it depends on how it would perform when docked on a bigger screen as I don’t see myself playing all the time on a small one.
