You can bet the PS6 will be $800 too if these Pros are selling out so quickly and a gray paint job can make people go crazy for a $1000 digital console.

So, as I've said, not interested in the vanilla Pro, and will now await for the PS6. I had the queue on my iPhone, MacBook, Thinkpad, iPad and Desktop, but to all to no avail.
Just not one of the lucky ones, I suppose. Well, see y'all when the PS6 is about to launch!
ROFL Sony not announcing that 30th Anniversary Edition was $1000 until the day of preorders
Probably be able to find one for $1500 from a scalperFor me, I wanted it for sentimental reasons, and would have paid $1,500 for it. It's just one of those collectors items which has meaning in my live, since I'm hardcore gamer at heart. I've always enjoyed gaming a gazillion times more than movies & TV shows, where you just sit there an do nothing.
As to the device itself, it's not a game changer for me, since my current PC is adequate enough. Playing on my big OLED TV just isn't in the cards, I suppose.
Yes, that happens literally at every console launch lol.Is this normal for a console to be put up for pre-order before it's even sent out to reviewers much less before reviews drop? Because this sounds like a big red flag that maybe PS5 Pro isn't going to be as impressive as the 45% claim Cerny made.

Very much disagree. If someone paid a scalper $1200 instead of $700 to Walmart for a PS5 Pro that buyer is much less likely to buy an extra controller, maybe buys one game instead of three, etc. Sony doesn't want scalpers buying these.
They are going for $3k right now on eBay, for the 30th editions. I'll be happy with my 30th edition controller for now.Probably be able to find one for $1500 from a scalper
Yeah, it was unplayable for me on my HD 7950. Between patches and a 1070 upgrade, it was much better.I remember what a disaster the PC port was at launch, even the brand new 980 Ti had trouble running it 1080p 60fps.
They are a corporation and want to make money like any other company. Sony doesn't care who buys them at the end of the day because they get money from the initial sale anyway. Then they get money from games and accessories once a client has a console.
At least for the 30th anniversary editions, confirmed orders from Sony sold on eBay for $3500-4k already. Check the sold listings. There are some regular PS5 pro models too for $1k already sold lol.It costs them money if (when) the Scalpers return it when they can't find a buyer.

I don't get the obsession with the 30th anniversary edition. $300 more to look less ugly?

The 30th edition is not really more expensive than a regular pro plus a dual sense edge. It also has a charging station for the controllers which if you were to add all these separatelynane a stand, would cost about the same as it's priced.
There will be another chance to get a 30th edition Oct 10 from other retailers. I'll try then as well and return the order from PSN direct if I do get one.
I prefer the color of it anyway.
Why would they be happy selling less games and less accessories when they know they could sell out without scalpers? Makes no sense.They are a corporation and want to make money like any other company. Sony doesn't care who buys them at the end of the day because they get money from the initial sale anyway.

Yeah it sucks when I see a gpu for $400 that's only as fast as the gpu I could have bought two years ago for $400 and didn't think it was worth the money then.To each his/her own, of course. But, for me, I came of age during the Moore's Law era, and find it peculiar to see devices tout higher performance with a corresponding higher price point. I'm more accustomed to higher performance at the same or lower price point.
I see no reason to change my views.
The PC port was done by the same studio that wrecked the The Last Of Us Part 1 pc port. But once the PC port was fixed by Rocksteady and re-released it played really well on my GTX 970.Yeah, it was unplayable for me on my HD 7950. Between patches and a 1070 upgrade, it was much better.
Lol a lot of stuff Sony is doing does not make sense. Are they even reading the room correctly releasing a pro? For their metrics the special edition sold out today. There were only 12300 of them, they don't care who bought them. If they wanted to cater to fans they would have made more of the special edition models if you want to put your consumers first.Why would they be happy selling less games and less accessories when they know they could sell out without scalpers?

Meanwhile the regular pro is still available for purchase which indicates it's likely not going to sell out until maybe Christmas when demand might actually pick up but I doubt it.
