Even if I have a Samsung S90C I'll keep playing on fat PS4 (11 years old and still running strong).

It was a fantastic console but 11 years later it’s time to let it go.
GT7 still runs fine on it but I don’t get it when people still requesting new releases on such an old hardware.

I'll let go if you give me 799€ to buy the PS5 Pro

. Actually I'll take the optical drive too!
It's insane that they're still trying to rip people off with no physical media. Imagine if you get banned on the account you bought all your digital games.

You still can buy a normal PS5 too. You'd gain a lot in terms of loading times. (And surely in other areas, but to me low loading times is really a great feature)

It really is. I'm thinking about it. Maybe I'll wait for the PS5 prices to drop (if they ever will). For now I'm playing FM2023 on Series X.

No need for the pro. You’re fine with the base ps5. I don’t need to give anyone money, that’s your own business

Exactly ! I think you'll find good deals once the pro is out, especially given many players will switch.

Then I'll keep playing on PS4 since it's working fine except the loading times. Someone on the previous page talked about end of service of the PS4 but I don't see any proof yet. Too many people still playing it. Like the PS2 when the PS3 was out.
I don't spend money and change stuff unless I really need to. Take my old car for example...This summer it broke down 2 times and it left me on the highway. I gave 250€ to a mechanic and 260€ to a second mechanic. 510€ and then the car was still not running fine to get back home. Why keep wasting money on my garbage Fiat? That was the time to let go and scrap it.

Aiming at 8K while 4k has had asterisks for 2 generations is ridiculous.

It's a ridiculously high target and it won't benefit most people, but there is an "8K" logo on most PS5 boxes (recently removed so they can slap it on PS5 Pro boxes), it's about time somebody made an effort to actually use it.

Think of it as the continuation of PDs legacy of outlandish, bleeding edge tech features included mainly for their own office setups: 6-player GT3 that requires a 6-port IEEE 1394 hub, 1080i support in GT4 and TT (not for PAL), triple (and quintuple!!) monitor support in GT5/6. 8K support is in for Kaz's TV.

I'd be interested to see if 8K is extended to 4-player split screen, which already runs at 4K(ish?) at 80-105fps on PS5, and especially interested in 8K race photos. Mmm, 33 megapixels...
