Really good and fast responding console. I’m usually an Xbox user however me and my wife wanted to get the PlayStation 5 pro sense it had more features then the Xbox series x. And my word this is one very fast console. Now keep in mind this console is more faster then the original PlayStation 5 and Xbox series x. So the loading times are much faster and the graphics my word are amazing. Me and my wife fell in love with the console and we have connected to our 4k 120hz TV and the graphics and picture quality is very impressive. I wish the console came with another controller to match the price. I did buy another controller for my wife and controller is also very nice. Overall the this is one very good and amazing console for its price.

It's really hard to describe, but in games that do not have a PlayStation five pro patch it enhances them by stabilizing the frames, cleaning up a lot of the artifacts and slowdowns that were present before they're no longer there the image and everything is just completely clean. MK one for example is getting a patch, but I played it before the patch and after the new system, there's no frame drops, slow downs or weird stuttering. Everything is just more solid. Of course it'll only get better once they patch it.

Stellar Blade is MUCH more cleaner with patch. I also noticed the details, obviously because of the pro patch but the game runs solid and very fluid. It's like a completely different game. I normally played game in 4K, but I had to drop down to performance mode on the original PS5 and it looked a little grainy, even with the 4K option on and you sit still and look into the distance. There was strange type of grain/artifacts. All that is completely gone now with Pro/Patched. The high frame and the good graphics are basically combining into one down. Even an option to play 120 Hz. (if into that)

After the PS five pro patch games are a completely different animal, night and day. Crystal clear fluid higher frame rate and the resolution is just incredible. Everything is much more cleaner, no artifacts or weird strange noise in the background. It's just clean it almost wants you to get closer to the television. Of course the bigger TV is really benefited from at the most I would say 60 and up. (I have a 82)

As for the non-PlayStation 5 pro has games they just run more smoothly, load quicker, no studder, and overall everything is just solid. It's really hard to explain now I know what some people were talking about saying that it's very hard to describe. It's one of those things you have to have inside your house. He won't really notice a lot of of the details on a standard YouTube video or small handheld cell phone. You have to have the unit in your home. If I'm not mistaken, PlayStation five pro enhancements now after it's released was encouraged and should be simple for the developers to turn on as the games being made.

Either way i'd recommended it, very happy with it. It feels like this should've been the unit that came out originally back with the original PS five released. The lighting and reflection is far more noticeable like at least 2 to 3 times more detail. It's in your face versus before barely noticeable now it's just there and it looks really good when you see it in movement. Now some people may think is that worth it? Yes because between graphics, reflections, and real time light and animations and everything included and games nowadays when everything is performing on equal level, the experience is better.

Games that are not patched seemed to run at a higher or more stable frame rate, which is something you physically notice. I tried devil may cry for the PlayStation five reflections look the same just more smoother. Not as real looking since its a release game when the Pro model wasn't available.

Games that take advantage of the more realistic reflections and better lighting have to be patched, but luckily the game ends up being more smoother feeling, frame drops are no longer a thing. Either way, old game would perform better. It also has an option to boost older games going all the way back to the PlayStation 4. I haven't tried it since I don't have any PS4 games, but from what I've read, it's sharpens and cleans up a lot of the images even on games that were not patched.

I'll give you a tip with the 120 Hz. Sony does not have a full high speed. It's cap the 32 something they can possibly unlock later in the future. HDR data never output full in a game that runs at 120hz, and it's been that way since the original PlayStation 5. If you use 120 Hz and you have a 120 Hz TV the image will look darker. You can fix this by turning on HIGI in settings, (should be under tone mapping) or option in some tv that have game mode. In other TVs, it only appeared after turning on game mode.

But there's a workaround to force the system to output full color, which ends up being super bright. Change the setting for that specific game to 1080p by force in the PS5 Pro/PS5 system menu. However, I would recommend this more for the PRO because it has enhancement with a brand new 4K scaling system. Set the game to either fidelity on the P55 PRO mode or Pro Max try them both out you'll notice the darkness goes instantly away because the HDMI now has less information to output so we can output full color resolution @120hz. Or you can just not play in 120 Hz and just use a standard Pro setting/leave system at 2k. Just giving a tip in case you try 120 Hz and realize it's darker.

I'm happy with the unit. It does feel like a completely different system. It's just overall better performance, more cleaner, the pro enhanced games look freaking phenomenal and it definitely fixes a lot of problems with the older non-pro games.

I’ve been using this console for several weeks now, mainly for story-driven games and competitive titles, and the overall experience has been excellent so far.

The most immediate difference I noticed was performance. Games that already ran well feel even smoother, especially during fast-paced scenes or large open areas where frame drops used to happen occasionally. Load times are noticeably faster, and switching between games feels more seamless than on my PS5 Slim.

Visual quality is another strong point. On a 4K OLED display, games look sharper and more stable, with better lighting and improved clarity during gameplay. While some cinematic cutscenes still use artistic effects like motion blur or lower rendering resolutions (which seems to be game-dependent), actual gameplay looks consistently clean and detailed.

Thermals and noise have also been well managed. Even during longer gaming sessions, the console stays quiet and doesn’t generate excessive heat, which is something I really appreciate.

That said, the improvement is most noticeable if you already have a good display and play performance-heavy games. Casual players or those without a 4K setup may not see as dramatic of a difference compared to the PS5 base model.

Overall, this feels like a solid mid-generation upgrade aimed at players who value smoother performance, faster loading, and improved visual stability. If those things matter to you, this console delivers.

Straight to the point - PS5 Pro is going to benefit the games that are tailored, by Sony / other developers, to utilize the PSSR enhancing feature. When that Pro enhancement exists, you can expect a near / at 60 FPS for the game using this feature. Prime point, Star Wars: Outlaws; it's pro performance mode now incorporates the Fidelity Mode of the base PS5 while boosting the FPS to 60 - it's noticeable and if your TV or chose Gaming Monitor has the appropriate specs for Variable Refresh Rate (up to 120hz), then you're getting even more out of the Pro.

As someone who is using their Pro as an extension of what I play on my rather robust PC (RTX 4090), it's nice to go into the living room and have my eyes not experience a jarring Technological Friction with way lower FPS than what I am accustomed to gaming with on my PC. Yes, this is a first world problem, yes, I have immense gratitude for the PC I own and now PS5 Pro, and for folks who want more consistent performance, then the PS5 Pro is phenomenal.

Here's the catch, and all buyers looking to get one, PLEASE be aware: All games are NOT going to benefit from the PS5 Pro right out of the box. They have to be patched and or tailor-made upon release to utilize the features of this system. As of this writing there are a number of titles that benefit from said Pro / PSSR enhancements, but you have to research and make sure those are games you currently own.

Take Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5; CDPR have chose not to (as of this writing) to craft a PS5 Pro enhanced mode for the game. When you boot it up, the Fidelity (ray trace mode) still runs at a jarringly low framerate. Performance mode still has the FASTER framerate everyone has been accustomed to. It's this kind of example that folks, myself included, temper their expectations with currently until more titles are released using the PSSR feature to boost FPS in more graphically demanding games.

As someone who plays Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p with an RTX 4090 and further enhancements being provided by Nvidia's DLSS, my frames are above 200 FPS and higher; it's kind of wild - yes, I could be playing at 1440p / 4k, but having everything maxed out with Path Tracing on (which is being boosted by DLSS) is truly a sight to behold, even at 1080p on a 25 inch monitor with proper Gsync (Viewsonic Elite XG251G - 25 inch - 1080- 1 Ms - 360Hx - with Gysnc).

Coming from this to the PS5 Pro is a night and day comparison, but again, at basic performance mode the game is running at 60 FPS; would it be nice if CDPR added a PS5 Pro patch, yes, but again, unless it is advertised as such, your game is not taking advantage of the price you're paying to get this shinier system.

Which brings me to the end - is the PS5 Pro absolutely necessary at this point, NO, not at all. You're buying the system now as a way to boost the games you have that are advertised to be taking advantage of the Pro with a "Pro" Enhanced mode - again, research the game you are playing and see if it does. On top of this, it's for what's to come in the 2025 and beyond as we get closer to PS6. The hope is PSSR will boost games that are robust and will need the added bit of horsepower the Pro can afford on top of the aforementioned PSS5 boost. Think Grand Theft Auto 6; that game is going to be BEEFY and even on PS5 Pro I anticipate the FPS is going to struggle so any added boost, such as that from PSSR, will probably move more people to consider a mid-gen upgrade like this. While not necessary, hopefully Sony learns to competitively price this system in a way that doesn't feel so OBSCENE as it does now.

I sold my OG PS5 Digital and utilized some gift money I happened upon this holiday season; if it wasn't for that, I would not have bothered to buy the Pro. For the games I play currently that benefit from the Pro / PSSR enhancement, it's great (SW:Outlaws; Horizon Remastered; Hogwarts Legacy; Alan Wake II).

If you get one, enjoy, if you don't that's cool too!

I have been thinking about getting this particular console for a while now. After seeing that it was on sale, I decided to pull the trigger on this purchase. Glad that I did. Games that I had on the PS4 Pro look so much better and load faster with the enhancements of the PS5 Pro. One game in particular, Yakuza Kiwami 2 just looks absolutely amazing. The PS4 Pro version looks good, but it cannot hold a candle to the PS5 Pro version. Load times are greatly reduced, colors are much more vibrant, and the image quality looks outstanding.

The only issue that I have with the system is the lack of connectivity options. The PS4 Pro provided users with optical audio out. Since the PS5 Pro does not have this feature, I had to purchase new speakers and a bluetooth adapter (since SONY wants you to only use their products for bluetooth connectivity SMH). This is the only gripe that I have with their latest system.

That aside, I am really enjoying my experience on the PS5 Pro. I can clearly see the leap from the PS4 Pro to the PS5 Pro. Despite the aforementioned, glad that I purchased this. Merry X-Mas to me!!!

Bought a "Like New" condition PS5 Pro from Amazon Resale for $658. Great experience! The box itself was pretty beaten up, but I couldn't care less about the cardboard. The console itself was pristine, zero dust in the fan, no signs of use at all.

Great console, just a heads up when you’re using Xfinity or any other modem check and see if it’s compatible with your PS5 pro. I’ve had many issues with these locked modems or not so much locked, but has locks on certain things that makes your PlayStation not connect to the Internet until you turn off Wi-Fi and turn it back on. My recommendations by a nighthawk modem router combination. If you buy a PlayStation Pro look into buying a modem router those are my tips. Other than that, it’s a PlayStation it works well lots of storage plus you can add your SSD which you’ll never fill so yeah I approve of this PlayStation they just need to inform you a little more on that issue at least bring it up in Reddit. With that being said also I will not be buying the new GTA six. The game looks very feminine.

Price & Value: ★

TD:LR & Final Verdict: If you're happy with the base PS5, just wait. But if you're an enthusiast and have the right equipment setup like 4k HDR 120Hz TV and games that are currently supported, then go for it, you'll notice an improvement. To begin with, if you're looking for a massive visual upgrade, at least existing PS5 games, you'll be disappointed. However, it does indeed make things look sharper and clearer while still able to maintain stable frame rate. Performance seems to be the biggest improvement, there hasn't been any lag or stutter yet, even after I run through heavy areas where I used to get lower fps, the games does seem to run very smooth, but I wouldn't say it is like upgrading from a console of 60Hz/fps gaming to 120-240Hz/fps PC gaming or anything, but it is still a noticeable improvement. The higher fps could solve ghosting issues if you experience any, I had them on the base PS5, but not on Pro, so it clearly wasn't my TV or it's settings. The PS5 Pro seems to fit previous PS5 accessories if you have any, but probably not all. Offline mode is still a possibility for those that likes to play single player games offline that doesn't require internet and PSN account. Unfortunately, that seems to be about it, there is nothing exceptional about the PS5 Pro. You're better off waiting for price drop and also for more games to get supported, what is the point of buying it now at full price if there are limited supported games. Finally, to be objectively fair, the PS5 Pro does what it says it does, but it is priced terribly, especially when you get no disc drive and stand, totaling up to $800, when the console should cost $600 at most, the cost to value is just not there. So, I can't give it 5 stars when you pay more for less, final rating is still 3/5 stars, it should get 4 stars at most, 5 star is saying it is perfect and is just preparing the PS6 for $700-800+ console gaming.

For $700, you just get the console, 1 normal white PS5 controller, 2 crappy plastic stands, 2TB internal storage, the power/HDMI/USB C cables and that's it. I had to buy the disc drive separately, which cost $80, so in reality it costs $780, more if you have to buy a stand. One good piece of good news is that my previous PS5 accessories seems to fit and work with the PS5 Pro, which is the "FASTSNAIL Cooling Fan for PS5 Slim Console" and "SIKEMAY PS5 Slim Stand Cooling Station for PlayStation 5 Slim Console" and of their categories. The PS5 Pro just barely fit on the stand for the screw underneath to screw in though, but not so tight that it'd cause damage. The PS5 Pro and normal PS5 looks pretty much identical, its only the central side fins that's different. The menus and everything are still the same as the normal PS5, and that's really about it, unfortunately the PS5 Pro isn't all that impressive.

The PS5 Pro isn't making any lasting impressions on me in order to keep it or really want it, maybe if they included a DualSense Edge Pro controller, that'd have been nice and more fitting. You're better off waiting for a sale if you really want the extra performance boost, since visually, I can't tell much of a difference. It is like comparing shades of the same color, there may be small improvements, but nothing noticeable that you'd react with a "wow, that looks amazing!". Furthermore, for those that likes to play single player games offline without the need for internet connection and PSN account, you still can, with the disc drive anyway. I'll update the review as I progress through more games, but so far, I am not sold, it is not worth the extra cost. I do not recommend it if you're thinking of upgrading from the base PS5 to the PS5 Pro. Even if you're a new buyer of a PS5, $700-800 is too much for a console that doesn't offer a significant enough of a difference, based on the games. If you run out of storage on normal PS5, you can just buy an SSD and install it yourself.

Edit: After playing the PS5 Pro for a week, 11-8 to 11-15, the PS5 Pro does indeed make my games look sharper, like better anti-aliasing, sharper and smoother edges on character models, background, and objects, etc. At the same time, you get a pretty stable fps while maintaining that fidelity. That is pretty much the main selling point of the PS5 Pro, good performance with good graphics, but varied by different games. One side note I've noticed with PSSR mode is that it seems to have solved my ghosting issue on the base PS5, originally, I thought it might've been my TV, but it seems it is the console itself. So if anyone has experienced those and they bother you, the PS5 Pro could solve that issue for you. One thing I wished they improved upon was PS5's screenshot and recording modes. To be able to take screenshots at 1:1 ratio to the resolution that you play at, since they usually look at about 80% of the full quality. As for recording, you still can't have 4k replay records, the one where you can record the past 15sec to 1 hr recording, it is still stuck at 1080p. So if you want the best recording, you still have to manually record before you do whatever you're thinking of recording.

Overall, the PS5 Pro is a noticeable upgrade, if you have the right setup. The main issue with it is the price, the value is just not there. How can anybody be okay with $700 console with no disc drive and stand and is also praising it with maximum rating, saying it is perfect. You're just letting Sony know you're okay with spending more for less, setting up for $700 being the future standard of console gaming. If the price keeps increasing, might as well just get a PC, since PS exclusive games are nearly all on PC by now or in the near future anyways. Furthermore, the lack of disc drive suggests it is going the digital route, while it is convenient, Sony has terrible refund policy for digital games, go google it and read it yourself if you don't believe me. They get 100% of the money even if you end up not liking the game. Which I'm not sure how anybody can know if they like the game until they try it in the first place. In comparison, you can try out the games for 2 hrs before requesting a refund on PC/Steam. In conclusion, my advice is just to wait, like many other reviews are saying, PS5 Pro is a tough sell for value. With the limited amount of games that it is supporting, it is kinda pointless to have it right now at full price if you're happy with the base PS5, wait until it is $600 or less. You're not missing out on a lot if you are already happy with the base PS5.

I would recommend reading other reviews for info about more games, especially PS4 games, since not everyone has every game out there.

El Producto es nuevo, original, sellado. Incluye consola, cables, control y un par de piezas que se usan para apoyar la consola en modo horizontal. También adquirí el lector de discos y la consola lo reconoció sin problemas. Vendedor seguro y confiable.

Pro players item

Wow! Realmente wow! Una compra ESPECTACULAR y agradezco mucho a la familia Amazon y al vendedor por darme la gran oportunidad de tener una consola de última generación en su mero apogeo.

El producto en sí llegó sin problemas, ya a unas dos semanas de haberlo recibido funciona de maravilla y no ha presentado ningún problema.

Lo que quiero recalcar es que la caja del producto no solo llegó algo maltratada y golpeada, si no que el sello de garantía no era el que Sony utiliza, era uno genérico Y estaba roto. Decidí grabar el unboxing para asegurarme que si había problemas, tuviera algo para asegurar que así llegó. Afortunadamente no fue el caso, pero todo esto sí me parece una falla por parte del vendedor.

La consola funciona bien, está en buenas condiciones y aparentemente sí es nueva, sin problemas en ese aspecto. Sin embargo, el embalaje del envío fue muy malo, la caja de la consola llegó rota e incluso con el sello de seguridad abierto, de hecho, pareciera que la caja al menos, está vieja, lo que lógicamente y pese a todo, te hace dudar de la autenticidad y del estado (nuevo o usado) de la consola.
