Fielding questions from my fellow Steam/PC fam. No unnecessary hate please.

[C1REX]

Was there a particular game you had in mind when buying the console?

[Vince ✟]

I dont get it. Whats the big deal with that? Not trying to be rude.

[Skkooomer Lord]

I have nothing nice to say.

[emoticorpse]

Is it a pre-built?. I'm not trying to be a smart alec implying anything either. Just wondering if it's a pre-built.

Mainly Rebirth and Stellar Blade. Also owned GT7 and Demons Souls but never had time to play them.

I build my own Pcs. Previous to this one, I ran a 5600/6700xt build. Then I sold my AM4 platform and GPU to help fund the current 7600x/7900xt PC I run. Went with 2x 16GB DDR5 6000mhz cl30 RAM from XPG, Deepcool ak620 cooler and a MSI B650 Tomahawk Wifi board.

I also repasted my 7900xt last month with ptm7950.

Why the Pro specifically and not the regular one? I'm also playing on a PC but keeping a PS5 around for the timed exclusives

I had a day 1 PS5 but I wanted to see first hand what PSSR, and in general, what an upgraded Ps5 would be like. So far, its been fantastic. Rebirth looks really good compared to how blurry it was previously. GT7 runs with RT at 100-120fps now. I also tested Spiderman 2 and it looks fantastic at 60+ fps with some RT enabled (more RT options are available in the menu when you switch to 30fps mode).

I don't need it to play my Steam library- that's what my PC is for.

I have had my Dualsense Edge attached to my PC before the Pro arrived.

He is in the zone, man. What is there not to get?

People have dreams. Some dream of a nice car, some of own property, some even having a nice career or at least a grraduation.

Dude has a PS5 Pro and a 7900XT now.
The sky is the limit. Jackpot, baby. BAMMMMMM!!!!!

i don't personally see why you'd want a ps5 pro when you have a PC

i could maybe see buying a regular ps5 if you REALLY want the exclusives
but the ps5 pro is less of an upgrade to the ps5 then the ps4 pro was to the ps4

to each their own i guess. it ain't my money.

There is a big number of games that is only available on ps4/ps5 but not on PC - Stellar Blade, Bloodborne, Final Fantasy 7: Remake part 2. etc.
There are also no scripts/cheats online on consoles.

PS5 pro may have almost the same power but some games take advantage of that little extra and look way better or double the performance from 30fps to 60fps.

if you already owned a PS5 "im judging" as the the Pro is pretty much a joke of an upgrade.
if not then id say great.
