Wow, was waiting on the pro to drop, but now I giess I'll just pass the ps5 generstion altogether. This sucks ass.

The PS5 is good enough if you can afford one

You can buy a whole-ass computer for $700 and it won’t charge you a subscription fee just to turn it on.

Personally I think it's only worth it if you have the standard ps4, if you have a PS4 Pro you're not really getting all that much from the ps5. Graphics are a slight upgrade, still not actual 4K and the ram is nice but performance wise it's somewhat similar, usually your biggest reason to jump from one generation to the next is exclusives and game availability, but the PS5 has been absolutely atrocious at trying to obtain games that work only for the Ps5, every big name developer out there is still making releases that work for both consoles due to the fact that there's still so many people that are running the PS4. This is a very different outcome then when the PS2 and the PS3 was released where yes they still offered it for both consoles but two or three years after launch they had more or less left the console in the dust, and here we are almost 5 years later and they're still making games for both platforms

Load times that don't take ages with the internal SSD of the PS5 is a huge boon too

I haven't really noticed much of a difference load time personally, but yeah if the game required massive load times it was shortened as well
