That's the boat I'm in coming from a PS3. The price is still a sore spot though. $100 less and I wouldn't even hesitate. Damn you, Concorde!
If you are coming from PS3 or lower (or never owned one) than the PS5 pro is the console to buy ...

From my standpoint, then it should have a stand and a drive included. This is the top tier product and priced as such, so it shouldn't be this piecemeal bundle, especially when the disc included PS5 exists on a lower tier.
Yeah, for all the time they've had to figure this stuff out it was a bit baffling how they launched it. IMO.When they announced that the drive was seperate I kind of expected them to end production of the Slim with the drive already installed by the time the Pro was released.
So the long term GF called me this morning and asked what I'm doing at work . . . She called me back about 20 mins later to tell me to cancel my pre-order as she purchased one for me.
And she's a Buffalo Bills fan AND loves American football. We are too old yo get married. Well passed 50 and have grown children. There is no need to get married.Might be time to put a ring on it.
LG C series is still top dog AFAIKEasily sold my PS5 with some games for $400 on marketplace. The pro will be arriving this week but we're moving so it will be a while before I get to unbox it.
Wife prefers the game systems go to the basement which means I'll need another TV and couch. Sounds like I'll be able to get another LG c2 or a vrr equivalent TV for downstairs. Not sure what the latest or recommended tvs are nowadays.
I'll be connecting mine to an LG tv I bought about 2.5 years ago. It's a 75" Nanocell one as I don't like OLED and nano is great IMO. Native 120hz panel looks great for my current PS5. Just got an email from sony. Says it will be delivered tomorrow!LG C series is still top dog AFAIK
I’ll probably be there with you, just need to see a bundle for a touch more value. Hopefully Costco will have something.
Can you actually get deals on high end TVs like LG C series on BF? I always thought BF TV deals were only for low end TVs stripped down to lower cost by for example having less HDMI ports than the regular version of the same TV.There will probably be some for Black Friday if you're willing to brave the hordes. Maybe some good Cyber Monday deals if you aren't.
There were definitely deals on the C2 in 2022 (~$1000 discount). Not sure about the C3 last year though.Can you actually get deals on high end TVs like LG C series on BF?

Find your favorite seat in front of the TV, then measure the distance between your head and the screen. Now measure your screen diagonally. Do you own a 65-inch or 55-inch TV, the most popular sizes? Do you sit 10 feet away or more? Then no, the PS5 Pro is probably not worth $700. Not even if you have 20/20 vision like me. The improved visual fidelity just isn’t tangible enough at that distance.Need a large display to get benefits of pro
These are the kinds of visual effects that are easy to pinpoint and demonstrate during play, but there’s a problem here. This is a console, and I’m perched on the edge of my coffee table turning my eyes square – that’s not how you play a console. Unless you’re one of the lucky few with a giant 80-inch display (or a particularly small living room) you’re not going to be pressed up against this screen in the same way you would a monitor setup. Taking a few steps back to the couch where I actually play, these details were far less apparent. Yes, if I squint I can see the extra details – but I’m more concerned with navigating tricky jumps and swatting monsters away when I’m actually playing. These extra features are going to be reserved for those playing in a desk setup on a monitor or on a massive 4K 120Hz TV.

The best PS5 monitors will show you all the ray tracing and detailing effects you’ve spent that money on in glorious clarity at speedy framerates. You simply won’t see that in a couch setup unless you’ve got an 80-inch display parked six feet from your eyes.
In every title I tried — while sitting no more than eight feet away from a 65-inch TV — the PS5 Pro was clearly the better place to play.
In physical media terms, it’s the difference between watching a Blu-ray film, and watching a 4K film. While you’re watching the Blu-ray, you’ll be thinking, “Oh, this is crisp.” Then, you’ll watch the 4K and think, “Oh, this is even better.” If that difference means something to you, then this console is a fantastic investment.The increase in resolution is noticeable in the vast majority of games I tested, but it’s not immediately striking. We’re talking about very fine margins of details here that often need a side-by-side comparison shot to be truly appreciated. Don’t expect the PS5 Pro to deliver transformative results. This is a console designed for those who obsess over micro details.
