I’m finally ready to get a PS5, but I’m a bit torn between the standard PS5 and the PS5 Pro. I’ve seen videos mentioning that the Pro has better storage and performance, and I’m wondering if those upgrades are genuinely worth it or just exaggerated hype. I currently only own an Xbox One, so this will be my first leap into next-gen gaming. If you own a PS5 Pro, I’d love to hear if you think it was a good investment! Should I just stick with the Slim version?

I’d recommend going for the PS5 Slim with a disc drive. It seems like the better value overall without sacrificing too much performance for most games.
Honestly, the Pro is more of a money drain than anything. I’d suggest sticking with the PS5 Slim with a disc drive instead. It’s more than enough for current gen gaming!
I understand the mixed feelings about the PS5 Pro, but I absolutely love mine! It has been totally worth the investment for me. If budget isn’t a problem, the smooth frame rates and enhanced graphics on games are fantastic, especially with upcoming titles like GTA 6 rumored to run at 60 FPS. Plus, PSVR2 is just getting started, so things will only improve from here!
Don’t waste your cash on the Pro! I would totally go for the Slim, especially the disc edition. Seems like a better choice for a first next-gen console!

Yeah, but I think a lot of the criticism comes from the Pro lacking a disc drive and stand, and just having a standard DualSense controller. For the price, a disc drive and a stand would have made it feel really premium, you know?
