    “Significantly” Going by the comparison Sony felt large enough to brag about there’s hardly a noticeable difference

      An uplift of ~45% in overall performance, ray tracing going from awful to decent, hardware-accelerated upscaling (like DLSS) isn’t “hardly noticeable” unless you don’t have eyes.

      And more storage and WiFi 7 may not be as flashy (hah, SSD storage, flash-y), but they’re nonetheless improvements.

      But, you know, if that’s not good enough for you, don’t get one. Nobody’s forcing you. I know I have no desire for one, (especially not for $700!) I’ve been console-free since my 360 had a red ring of death.

        I think the trick is that the normal PS5 is already $450 (no disc drive) or $500 (with disc drive).

        So do the features on the Pro version provide an extra $200 to $330 worth of value?

        So far, as a PS5 owner, I’m not seeing it.

          Only if you don’t have one already. Some of the more intense games graphically have shit upscaling so they shimmer. If higher internal resolution can fix this while running at good FPS, it might be worth it for some people

          Remember that you still can’t build a gaming PC for $700 that performs similarly.
