That's a bizarre price, considering 4 years into PS5 that's probably not even value for money compared to a PC.

Unprecedented stupidity from Sony. They'll have to drop that price. Going to get lampooned until they do.

You may as well just buy a computer.

Horrific pricing, no disk drive at that price is a shocker. In this day and age, 2TBs is nowhere near enough space for high-end games.

For me, the issues with the current gen is software rather than hardware-related.

Paying the best part of a grand for a slightly sharper image at 60fps seems insane but each to their own. Some will buy, I guess.

That price for the PS5 Pro makes me think that it won't be any surprise that the PS6 could end up being the first console to cost as close to or even exceed £1K.

The Playstation 5 Pro is available from today

But it's the 16.7TF of GPU compute performance that is new information. Sony has not actually given any kind of TFLOPs number for the PlayStation 5 Pro, but prior leaks have suggested around 33.5TF - a somewhat exaggerated number that arrived with AMD RDNA 3 architecture with its dual issue FP32 functionality. Sony's confirmation of 16.7TF suggests that the dual issue FP32 support is not in the PlayStation 5 Pro - not that this is too much of a big deal as it has very, very little impact on gaming performance.

Finally, the specifications confirm that the PS5 Pro has more memory than the base unit - an extra 2GB of DDR5. Leaks have previously suggested that the Pro has an extra 1.2GB of available RAM for game makers, so the likelihood is that system level memory requirements are shunted over to the new memory pool, leaving more of the faster memory for games to use.
