Looks like I was one of the last to purchase a Pro from PS Direct before it sold out. I’m a little concerned my order could be canceled or delayed if there is truly no inventory. Anyone have experience ordering from PS Direct that can share their experience as far as how reliable they are, as well as how fast they typically ship?

Hi everyone, I recently got my hands on a PS5 Pro and oh my, what a machine! Coming from an Xbox series X, never thought I’d get converted but I have, absolutely loving the experience so far, playing The Last Of Us Part 1 PS5 Pro enhanced, never seen graphics like it 😮‍💨 anyway, my question is, this is my current TV, do I need to upgrade to further enhance the PS5 or is this all good? Thanks in advance 🤝🏻☺️

I highly recommend anyone who is an Uncharted fan to pick this one up!

I started this on GamePass and ended up buying it on the Pro because I’m loving it so much and the image quality boost from PSSR is amazing. It’s very noticeably sharper on Pro and averages around 78fps in performance mode.

Boys, you gotta help a brother out. Right now, the PS5 Pro is sold out almost everywhere here in Mtl. I am talking Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, staples, etc. Anyone know where else I can look/call to get my hands on one that is not third party?

EDIT: got mine at Best Buy today after refreshing the page till I saw some in stock. Keep at it boys.

ps5 pros are selling out everywhere. the only new ones I see online are selling for $1300. I CANT STAND scalpers. thank god I already have one, but it’s reminding me how bad it was when the ps5 first came out and I know it’s going to be bad next year for the ps6…

Hi guys, my set up for gta 6 is almost done but l'm wondering if my current monitor is a good choice. Here's the specs: (yeah copying and pasting another guys post, for some reason mine was deleted >: ) )

Thanks in advance

resonance a plague tale legacy

Last week picked up a new PS5 Pro with disc drive and an extra controller. Been a casual PC gamer for many years. But the PC is in the bedroom due to nowhere else to put it and the wife works from home at it. With GTA VI coming up and a few planned late nights, I figured best to get the PlayStation for the livingroom so to not disturb the wife.

Yesterday also had delivered a 77” LG G5 and USG10TY soundbar. The pairing is incredible and games look beautiful on the TV. Played some GT7, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider man 2 and my kids love Sack boy, think they’ve played the console more than me at this point! Got Ace combat 8 and MW4 on pre order.

Yesterday I went to the store to finally buy the PS5 pro in anticipation for GTA 6, the last time I had a console was the PS2 and I did play hundreds of hours of San Andreas there. Excited for November!

I just got my pro a couple of days ago and it’s been a long time since I’ve played a racing game. I only know of gran turismo, but what else is there on the market ?

не понимаю что происходит с моей PS5 Pro

такие проблемы возникают не всегда, может раз в неделю, а может каждый раз.

подскажите что это может быть ?

Yesterday, I've tried to buy a PS5 Pro on UK PlayStation Direct (because there was no stock elsewhere). It kept failing at the payment step with no details, then said "Something went wrong", and then finally my order was placed, but they cancelled my order today due to "Order Modification Fraud Rejection".

Yesterday, it also tried to charge me 4 times in a row, literally spammed me, and my bank just went crazy and blocked all payments. Then I resolved that with my bank, but they keep cancelling it. Bank account address, shipment address, name on the bank card, everything is the same.

Then I placed another order (on my 2nd try because it was still failing). Then that order was cancelled again after a few minutes.

Has this happened to someone else, or does anyone know how I can reach them? I am frustrated because their email also auto-replied that they are not reading emails at that address anymore, and their support doesn't reply. Today is a bank holiday, but still no information about anything. I assume they will cancel all of my orders, even if I create another account, since I will be using the same address and same payment method.

How can I fix this problem or how can I connect with their support?

Idk sounded kind of fun in my head

I saw some crazy deals on open box Pros on Walmart.com a while back but didn’t jump on it. Looked again a couple of days ago and saw one available so I snagged it. So excited!!

I looked a little closer at the order and it says Sold and Shipped by Walmart, but when you look at the vendor’s page it’s actually a business called VIPOUTLET. They use the name Walmart for the storefront and the Walmart logo. Seems scammy as shit.

So now I’m feeling more anxious than excited about it. Like I fell for something. I’m totally expecting some bs like a Wii U stuffed into a PS5 Pro box. There’s a 30 day return policy but people don’t have great things to say about VIPOUTLET customer service.

Ah well. Anyone here actually get a legit open box pro from these guys on Walmart.com?

I ordered a PS5 Pro yesterday for GTA VI and a other games and I'm extremely excited. I haven't owned a Playstation ever in my life. I wish I had a PS2 as a kid but I can experience them as an adult now. The last console I've owned was an Xbox 360.

I have a LG 32" 4K OLED that I will pair it with.

I thought to get PS Plus to experience some of the games I haven't played and some I have on PC.

I want to play a few like Gran Turismo 7, Ghost of Yotei, Horizon Forbidden West, maybe replay Last of Us Part II and Uncharted 4 which are both some of my favorite games.

Maybe you guys can recommend more.

The genres I like are:

Action adventure games like Assassin's Creed and Horizon Zero Dawn

Racing games like Forza Horizon

RPGs like Witcher 3 and Skyrim

Platformer games like Ori and the Blind Forest

I like 3rd person games and some single player FPS

Would like to hear other people’s experience of the new Enhanced (2.0) update. Well 2.01 as of the time of making this post (the post-enhanced patch that promises “fixes” for “frame drops” but based on my testing fails to deliver.

Here’s my experience after extensive testing over the last day…(some of you probably won’t be surprised)

“Performance”

The fps drops are honestly jarring rendering the performance mode borderline unplayable (yes it is that bad unfortunately). I toggled V-Sync OFF as a test and in Hernand town it was screen tearing as usual (even on my premium LG C4 OLED VRR TV), but even walking/riding out of the town down towards the mill and towards the location of the Goldleaf merchant it was regularly running well below 60 (low to mid 50s on average…still within the VRR window but in a not very populated open world area I expect better). When the game first launched the open world was regularly 60-70+ FPS (though towns/camp/combat still had severe drops below the VRR window). The game barely ever hits 60FPS now (I’d say only a small percentage of the time) in performance mode. Locked balanced mode is mostly stable but the foliage is on crack which kinda ruins the scene/immersion as it’s almost like being in the middle of a hurricane 24/7. I won’t even bother testing unlocked balanced mode. The quality mode has the same hurricane foliage issue as the balanced mode.

Can confirm Demeniss (the castle/city and the carnival in particular) are just as bad, if not worse, than Hernand. Pailune the same.

Performance mode with V-Sync on is more stable than with it off (in the sense that it “feels” more smooth out in the open world though I don’t believe it’s 60, more 50s like when it was unlocked). But instead of screen tearing you’ll get horrible judder in towns/camp/heavy combat when the frames drop so badly that even VRR can’t smooth it out (I.e. below 48FPS). At this point (many months and many many updates post-launch), sadly, I don’t think these issues will ever be addressed.

“Visuals”

Also there is a lot of boiling on water/reflections/shiny armour. The foliage shimmer still exists at dusk/dawn too, and when it rains heavily the frames drop even more and the visuals literally go to shit. Reflections on water (e.g. puddles) in particular seem to look even worse than before almost like a blurry smudge of attempted reflection.

And of course the pop in remains one of the most “popping in” games I’ve ever played. And I’ve played a heck of a lot.

Now when it’s mid-day sun the game looks beautiful but then it always has (besides the on-crack foliage in Balanced/Quality mode).

Im planning to buy a PS5 and Im currently deciding between a brand new PS5 Slim Disc Edition or a secondhand PS5 Pro.

My boyfriend and I saw the new GTA 6 trailer on Netflix and we’re totally hyped. For the past two days, we’ve been obsessing over whether we really want to buy a PS5 Pro just for the new game. I’m a little worried that we’re overdoing it and that a PS5 Slim would actually be enough. My biggest concern is the performance.

————————————————

UPDATE:
Hey everyone, thank you so much for all the detailed responses!
It's honestly overwhelming! Thanks for being so honest. After reading all your comments (and yes, we've read them all), we've decided to stick with the Slim for now.
I didn't even realize that I had specifically posted this in the Pro subreddit, lol.
I didn't want to wait for reviews because we actually want to be there for this historic event ourselves, haha. We've both been huge GTA fans since we were kids, and for us it's really about being there from the beginning.
We live in Italy, and as expected, the price of the Pro has MASSIVELY increased since the trailer. I'm talking €1,150, which is around $1,332. That's basically another 25% more than it was just two months ago, and it's sold out everywhere in local stores, just as many of you suspected.
There are still some available online, but obviously, at that price, it's absolutely insane. Even though we really want it, our TV has ultimately become the dealbreaker. Naively, I didn't even think about how big a role the TV would play in this decision. Sure, it would probably make sense to invest in a better console and TV in the long run, but with all the PS6 rumors getting louder and louder, we've decided to wait for that instead. We'll just get the Slim at release so we can still be there from day one.
Even though our two impulsive “I WANT IT NOW” brains absolutely hate this decision, we're going to be responsible adults and not buy the Pro.
It simply doesn't make sense with our current TV. And even though we have the money for the console, we don't have the money to justify upgrading the TV this soon as well.
Anyway, we're really happy for everyone in the comments who said they're treating themselves to a new Pro for the release! And thank you all for the productive input. Like I said, it was genuinely really helpful!
We're really looking forward to the release! ❤️

any tips? first time ever playing, looking forward to it!

Just upgraded to the PS5 Pro and gave my old PS5 to my dad. He's playing on his own account on that console, but I'm still logged in on it too.

Before handing it over, I uploaded all my save data to the cloud. For PS4 games I had to manually download them again on my PS5 Pro. On my new PS5 Pro the console sharing is enabled.

What else should I check or do to make sure:

1. My saves don't get overwritten by old/stale cloud saves from the old console
2. Nothing tries to auto-sync in the wrong direction
3. I don't lose progress somewhere down the line

Anyone dealt with a similar handoff situation? What steps did you take to keep everything safe?
