That's interesting and all, but I still don't see a reason to upgrade my PS5 to a Pro, and frankly it wouldn't even be that interesting for the price as a new player either.

Are there like any games that will really make use of the new hardware? Other than perhaps upgraded framerates and better 4K support. The average console player probably isn't going to care that much, not for the giant price increase over minimal gains.

I feel like all games on this generation will still be limited to the base PS5 anyway, can't imagine hardware matters much until the next generation consoles.

There will be even fewer games that require a Pro than there are games that require the PS5 in the first place.

Potentially I'm just aging out of gaming a little bit, but I can't name 10 exclusives for the PS5, and it's been around for years.

Spider-Man 2 was fun, but not like $700 of fun.

I just got it, cant say it is even 70 bucks worth of fun. Spend more time as Miles and Peter on a bike or watching cut scenes than I do as spidey.

Don't you want to crouch-walk around as MJ for half an hour?
