High Price and Missing Features
PlayStation recently announced the highly-anticipated PS5 Pro, but fans were taken aback by the hefty price tag of £700/$700. To add insult to injury, essential features like the disc drive and vertical stand are sold separately, further increasing the cost.
30th Anniversary Edition Hype
Despite criticism over the price, excitement peaked when the 30th-anniversary edition of the PS5 Pro was unveiled. Sporting iconic grey coloring and nostalgic PlayStation design elements, the bundle cost nearly £1k/$1k, sparking a frenzy among fans.
Reseller Woes and Limited Game Selection
However, the joy was short-lived as resellers and bots swooped in, snagging most consoles and reselling them for exorbitant prices up to £10k/$10k. Additionally, the initial lineup of 12 PS5 Pro-enhanced games left many fans underwhelmed, although more titles are promised for launch.
Exciting Game Enhancements
Senior principal product manager Toshimasa Aoki hinted at 40 to 50 enhanced games available upon the PS5 Pro's release in November. Titles like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 are said to showcase the console's capabilities, with even non-enhanced games seeing improvements.
Confirmed Enhanced Games
Among the games set to receive enhancements at launch are popular titles like Demon’s Souls, Horizon Forbidden West, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. However, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been delayed until February, adding to the anticipation surrounding the PS5 Pro's release.
