hey guys what's going on welcome back to a brand new video so it's me and today I want to talk about something that's kind of taken the Internet by storm and it's this recent Sony conference where they released the PlayStation 5 Pro or they didn't release this they announced it I think the pre-orders are coming out next month on the 15th but basically this thing is ridiculous guys the price is absurd so if you are like me and you live in Canada you are going to be paying a whopping $1,114 199 now I don't know about you but that's for me that's a pretty penny you know that's a that's a after tax nearly a $1,300 gaming console probably more to be honest with you 133% sales tax on that that's that's excessive that's very very expensive and at this point I think you rather just get a PC but before we get too far into that let's do a little bit of a price breakdown here so the PS5 Pro it does not come with a disc drive as you know it is just that nice form factor that of that hourglass figure if you will a very beautiful shape for the gaming console so if you want to buy the disc drive for this thing it is79 99 Canadian you heard that right 7989 to be able to play discs on your seven or on your sorry $950 Canadian gaming console very very expensive so after you get the disc drive for your PS5 Pro you're probably going to want the stand so it will stand up without falling over right that seems like something pretty normal the Bas PS5 no problem guys it came with a stand it came with a little black circle you could prop it up on and you could you know play your game in console without worrying that it would fall over and break seems like something very basic that most people should be uh most companies should be throwing in the pot with their console you know 500 bucks throw in a plastic sand 950 Canadian we're not going to give you anything that doesn't make any sense to me but the PS5 stand cost $40 Canadian so with the stand disc drive you're looking at a $1,149 gaming console with the console itself costing 950 Canadian which is disgusting the only thing worse if you live in Australia I think it's like 1,50 or something it's absolutely brutal and at least with the you know when they released the PS4 Pro the price for the base model PS4 dropped by 100 bucks so they had the premium product they had the less premium product but man we are not that lucky these days the PS5 is staying at the same price so let's talk about the the specs for this thing so even though it's $950 it's the exact same CPU is in the PS5 so you know that's kind of whatever that's kind of useless you got a 45% faster GPU which brings it up to something more modern they don't specifically say what it is but it's using some sort of new uh AMD Ray tracing that they haven't even really announced yet uh like even for their cards for the computer so if you reckon that the PS5 was probably similar to like a 2070 in performance I would assume I would yeah I would say the PS5 is probably similar to a 2070 the PS5 Pro is probably going to be something like a 3070 and the 3070 right now costs about $3.99 Canadian on Canada Computers so you know you could buy that thing put it in put it in a used rig you get a pretty good gaming PC for probably a very similar price and okay the last thing about the specs for this thing that we need to cover is this is the fact that it comes with an SSD that is right we have a bigger storage capacity on the PS5 Pro the PS5 was I think 750 GB as you know if you saw my video about the Black Ops 6 being 300 gab this is a problem man with these gaming consoles but hey at least with the PS5 Pro if you're willing to pay 950 you're getting a 2 terab SSD that's basically where all your money is going into me that's what it looks like so yeah I guess you get that right all this guys just so you can pay $100 a year to play get PlayStation Plus and actually play online on your console so let's get into the three selling points of this thing that they really talked about the a big three so basically you're getting something they like to call pssr PlayStation spectral super resolution and it's basically a dlss basically just a looks at the gamees will play it at a lower resolution so you have more frames but then it will insert frames I believe is basically how it works I remember I was using it for a while while playing valerant and it was absolutely horrendous what it did to my game I would not recommend it on valerant that is the first of the big three the second part of the big three would be the the ra tracing I talked about earlier I think it is two or three times the r tracing of the PS5 it's using some AMD unreleased technology so hey maybe that will be cool I guess we'll have to wait and see I'm not getting this I'll tell you that for sure but someone online will probably you know review it I think the ratio for PS4s to PS4 Pros was every one in five PS4s was a PS4 Pro so if we can somehow get that kind of you know ratio then I think they're going to be doing pretty good with this thing it's obviously a premium product so the next part of the big three was at Advanced graphics card we talked about earlier getting 45% better performance basically you're going to be able to play Fidelity and performance mode at the same time that is truly next and a half gen my friends 100% all right guys so the final thing I want to talk about before we hop into the looking at the gameplay of this thing versus the regular PS5 is the tested for infl price of the PS3 so it's an interesting stat that I saw the PS3 I release I believe was $4.99 back in 2006 but for inflation today it would be $779 which is a very high price but the difference between the PS3 and 2006 and the PS5 Pro is there were legitimate technological advances in the PS3 vers this this thing is the same CPU it's more of an upgrade the PS3 was a whole new thing it was the first console with Blu-ray it was one of the first devices with Blu-ray Blu-ray players at the time were thousands of dollars already so getting the PS3 for $779 today with a Blu-ray player back then Stellar deal well not Stellar it still wasn't great obviously but you know there were more there was more reason to rationalize the PS3 than the PS5 Pro so that being said I think we should hop into the gamepl and let's take a look at what this thing can do hopefully an awful lot for you know $700 American all right guys now we've taken a look at the big three let's look at what the big three can create here let's take a let's review the game playay man I find it funny how they're showing this thing off on a game that's like basically two generations old didn't The Last of Us two come out on PS4 okay here we go PS5 Pro PS5 Fidelity okay man like I see it's it's not great looking to be honest with you it definitely is I don't know man the YouTube compression let's try and turn up the thing a little bit but the YouTube compress is not helping here like man I don't want to look at you right now okay here we are I I just don't see a difference to be honest there might be a little bit more detail in the laser here the resolution is definitely a little bit higher in the grass yeah it's definitely clear in movement in motion all right come on what is this what is that come on Igan all right back to what looks like last of 2 let's let's take a closer look at that okay yeah I'll give it there there is some very clear differences when PS5 Pros in performance versus Fidelity very there is some very clear differences stands might be a little more populated here I just don't see a massive difference to be honest it's not the same scene okay and once again I guess here's the big three larger GPU Advanced R tracing and AI driven upscaling folks if um if you're into the PS5 Pro I guess this is what $950 Canadian or 700 American can get you it's really it's really something I think it's a bit of a scam I don't think this is going to be too widely adopted the PS4 Pro for every PS4 they sold one of them was a PS4 Pro if they can get a one in five rate for this thing I will be very surprised I don't I don't even I don't think this thing is going to be selling out the same as the p PS5 I think the PS5 will sell out sell it significantly because people man they come for the Home console they come for the console experience it's affordable Great Value that's not what you're getting here for the price of this thing you're better off really just going and looking at a PC we talked about the 3070 example earlier for 400 bucks you can get a 3070 and an older gaming PC throw it in you'll get better performance than this P than this gaming console almost called it a PC CU it's PC priced but folks if you're looking to get one of these I I hope hope you like it I think you're getting ripped off and I don't know how smart you are but I know for a fact I'm not going to be upgrading I'm going to playing Black Ops 6 on my regular PlayStation if I'm dying to people running Fidelity and performance at the same time then that is life that is indeed life and I would honestly just upgrade my PC before I ever considered anything like this so guys I hope you enjoyed the video I'll see you soon and take it easy
