I only mentioned the 2070 because that's pretty much the equivalent GPU in the ps5. I'm not about to drop almost half a grand on that sort of hardware, even if it is optimised well.
You or someone else(can't remember who) is saying 40 million people have bought one so I must be wrong in all my opinions.
I could just as easily say all 40 million of those people are a bunch of fooking mugs for overpaying on sh!te hardware, but then I'd be rude, as people can spend their money on whatever they want.
Sony even upped the prices of them due to "inflation" *cough BS!* and people still lapped them up.
Anyway, why was a separate article made for this ? There was already one created by Amiga...

again its poor in terms of PC gaming but not in terms of console gaming. Your using the standards of PC specs to try and judge the processor in the PS5, relatively its one of the best processors in a gaming console.
Like I said your prices were way off.... You originally thought they were too expensive at £500 but since then you have been educated and realised that you were off the mark with that price its actually £400.
So you can at least admit its better value for money than you originally thought.
Surely the measure should be what will the incremental difference between PS4 Pro and the PS5 Pro, relative to the cost of a PS5 Pro, and if Ali believes that the incremental gain from that change would be worth the investment.
As an illustrative example, the PS5 may be 20% better than PS4 Pro. Then the PS5 pro may be another 10% better than the PS5, so 30% (or 32% if we’re compounding). Now, Ali may have a threshold of say 25% improvement before he would consider an investment. As such, purchasing a PS5 wouldn’t be optimal for him, and instead he should wait for the PS5 Pro.

he thought the PS5 was overpriced at £500. So since he was made aware that the price is actually £400 im trying to gauge if he now thinks its actually value for money since its considerably cheaper than he imagined.
I can agree the logic of waiting for the PS5 pro ... of course , but I disagree in thinking its vastly overpriced and for the reasons he gave anyway.
Especially as he doesnt know what the specs and price of the PS5 pro will be or when its out. Absolutely zero been confirmed.
The concept of something being over, under or optimally priced is different depending on whether you’re discussing in a microeconomic context or a macroeconomic context. I have inferred that the poster is speaking about the price in a largely (but slightly clumsily) microeconomic context given he is talking about his own individual circumstances of owning a PS4 Pro.

When have I been "educated" about the price?
I've clearly said that the original price is 479, but it's currently on offer for less.
These offers do not last forever.
I think the education needs to go your way, you appear to be arguing for no reason.
The ps5 is barely much of an improvement from the ps4 pro, so it's not worth spending close to half a grand for this at this moment in time.
Although I've said the same now about 5 times but it doesn't seem to be getting registered by yourself.

Lol. Every retailer apart from Currys says "on offer". Its highly unlikely that curry can just sell it for almost £100 less than the original price, undercutting all competition. Its more likely that theirs is also on offer, but they just have specified that it is an offer.
Like I've said before, there are no games I like on the ps5 that I cannot play on the ps4.
The only game I care about is Marvel's wolverine, but by then the ps5 pro will most probably be out.
ok, but Currys is not on offer its the normal price, I know this cos its the price my mate paid for his about 3 months ago. GAME have it for £300 not on sale . with a game. £400 is the going rate .... the deals you are looking at seem to be with extra pads and games. Even Sony own direct shipping page it sells for £404.
what about the games that you play on ps4 that have a upgraded ps5 version?
just as an example Battlefield on PS5 is a different experience on PS5 than PS4?

Its on offer mate. Sony's website clearly says the 404 offer ends on the 10th. I dunno why you're so adamant on proving me wrong, its weird.
Like I said, I don't play online games, apart from FIFA.
How is single player battlefield a different experience on the ps4 pro compared to the ps5?
*Currys @ 400 not £300 sorry.
its not on sale, its been that price for at least 3 months like I said.
the offer INCLUDING the game ends 10th

Game offer with game £399, no sale.
I gave the Battlefield game as an example of the top of my head of a PS5 game that differs from a PS4 game. Its not always just about the PS56 giving you more FPS and better graphics there is sometimes technical limitations.
Is the PS4 version of Fifa the same as the PS5 ? Its not just visually on screen there is also technical differences in the actual game also.
Besides were getting further away from the point.
You thought it was overpriced at up to over £500 when you paid £310 for the PS4 Pro that you seem happy with and thought was good value.
Turns out that the PS5 is only £90 more than the price you paid for the PS4 pro.
So at £400 only £90 more than you paid for the PS4 pro does it seem so overpriced??
*cough* relative to the gain in performance etc compared to ps4 Pro *cough*

This is some pointless discussion.
Simple fact is, the sale price of the ps5 DISK EDITION is £479.99. any lower price is an offer. Please do not try to tell me its not. Its getting boring.
Again, why would I drop almost half a grand (even if it is around, £400 temporarily, it's still almost half a grand) on something that is not going to change my gaming experience in any way shape or form, at this moment in time?
Yes, I could probably sell the ps4 pro, which would reduce my spend on a ps5 but again what's the point?
FIFA is FIFA. Nothing special about it.

Just some of the games I've played recently. All of them look absolutely fantastic on a nice 4k TV with a ps4 pro.
There is literally no reason for me to upgrade to a ps5, at this moment in time.

its £479.99 if you ignore the one selling it for £400.
Currys and GAME for eg.
Google PS5 to buy GAME , then change the filters to show you only pages and info between Any time last year and say March 2023 (I just did it) it clearly shows you GAMES prices at the time. £400. thank you.
you just ignore the fact that there are differences in the games, some can play against other PS5 players some cant. Some have features the PS4 games dont have.
But then again you can "barely" tell the difference between the two. So that perhaps is the telling part.
GAME have been selling it for £400 for ages and Currys for at least 3 months.
I mean if you didnt know the price then its understandable.
Seems to me that its to expensive for you which is a different argument altogether over it being overpriced.
Those 10-20 seconds of your life you gain back on each loading screen add up. How much do you value your time?

No need for personal digs now.
I have a gaming pc worth £2000. I don't use it anymore as my work have just given me a £3000 laptop to use as well as a desktop computer for some reason. So I'm going to donate my gaming pc my nephew.
Its got an RX 7900 XTX GPU inside, worth a grand.
It runs any game on maximum settings in 4k.
I built it myself, as I have built all my gamings pcs over the years.
Trust me, I know how to tell the difference between graphics and there ain't much diff between what I have now with my ps4 pro and a ps5 on a 4k TV.

Lol mate. That popped into my mind the other day. Fking loading times are slow I'll give you that. I hear the ps5 is quick on that front
I never really had any gripe with loading times tbh cos they've just been gradually getting quicker as I get older, but I couldn't go back now. Was playing old PS2 games last time I went back home and could read a few pages of a book before anything loaded
Difference is with my PC I have literally thousands of games to chose from. If you have a PS4 and buy a PS5, you have like two extra games.
Plus all of the other benefits. I don't have to pay extra to use my own internet, I'm not tied down to one digital storefront and there's a hundred more.

there was no personal dig .... suggesting you might not be able to afford something is not a dig? certainly not as personal as "Can't say anything these days without offending a few wimp" again im not offended by that sorta stuff but it does seem a little hypocritical.
If you cant tell the difference between PS4 pro and PS5 then I would suggest that the RX 7900 is wasted on you.
I notice there was no comeback about the price anymore how did you get looking at backdated prices on the PS5 and GAME like I suggested?? no comment on that no?
I've given up. It was an endless back and forth about something so pointless
That comment was directed at Simon west, because he was insulting my intelligence and I proved him wrong.
He then filtered me, as he's a massive wet wipe.
Hypocritical it may be, I couldn't care less.
You ignored my question about why did you create a new article when Amiga already has one? No comeback for that?
I assume you or he has been filtered but that hasn't stopped you logging out and back in to read the article?
I never said I can't tell a difference, I just said there isn't much difference.
My brother in law has a ps5. I know how they display games.

Ok I find it hard to believe that you dont think there is much difference .. if you dont then as I suggest the RX 7900 maybe wasted on you and you may have been able to save money going for a lesser one that you wouldnt have seen much a difference in.
Was I correct in GAME selling the console for the price I said back over 3 months ago? or did you not bother checking and will just argue it anyway?

The only reason I created this (well 2) i cant comment on the other one. Was becasue it was clear he was just looking for an argument .. so I gave him one, his points were so inconsistent.
Started of as its over priced at £470 (which i have proven to be wrong), then it focused more on its not much of an upgrade and not worth the update (could be valid), said he cant really tell the difference yet custom built a PC with a graphics card close to a grand ....... yeah that makes perfect sense.
Fork out all that money on a graphics card when it turns out you dont really see the difference between PS4 pro and PS5.
If that really was the case and he was so worried about money or value for money then I think his focus is on the correct things. He shoulda went for a less expensive graphics card given he can barely tell the difference in such things and could have bought the PS5 anyway.
Im just having a bit of fun with him. pretty yeah then again im at work and it helps get through the day !!

again its poor in terms of PC gaming but not in terms of console gaming. Your using the standards of PC specs to try and judge the processor in the PS5, relatively its one of the best processors in a gaming console.

Lol. Every retailer apart from Currys says "on offer". Its highly unlikely that curry can just sell it for almost £100 less than the original price, undercutting all competition. Its more likely that theirs is also on offer, but they just have specified that it is an offer.
Like I've said before, there are no games I like on the ps5 that I cannot play on the ps4.
The only game I care about is Marvel's wolverine, but by then the ps5 pro will most probably be out.

ok, but Currys is not on offer its the normal price, I know this cos its the price my mate paid for his about 3 months ago. GAME have it for £300 not on sale . with a game. £400 is the going rate .... the deals you are looking at seem to be with extra pads and games. Even Sony own direct shipping page it sells for £404.
what about the games that you play on ps4 that have a upgraded ps5 version?
just as an example Battlefield on PS5 is a different experience on PS5 than PS4?

Its on offer mate. Sony's website clearly says the 404 offer ends on the 10th. I dunno why you're so adamant on proving me wrong, its weird.
Like I said, I don't play online games, apart from FIFA.
How is single player battlefield a different experience on the ps4 pro compared to the ps5?

*Currys @ 400 not £300 sorry.
its not on sale, its been that price for at least 3 months like I said.
the offer INCLUDING the game ends 10th

Game offer with game £399, no sale.
I gave the Battlefield game as an example of the top of my head of a PS5 game that differs from a PS4 game. Its not always just about the PS56 giving you more FPS and better graphics there is sometimes technical limitations.
Is the PS4 version of Fifa the same as the PS5 ? Its not just visually on screen there is also technical differences in the actual game also.

Besides were getting further away from the point.
You thought it was overpriced at up to over £500 when you paid £310 for the PS4 Pro that you seem happy with and thought was good value.
Turns out that the PS5 is only £90 more than the price you paid for the PS4 pro.
So at £400 only £90 more than you paid for the PS4 pro does it seem so overpriced??

*cough* relative to the gain in performance etc compared to ps4 Pro *cough*

This is some pointless discussion.
Simple fact is, the sale price of the ps5 DISK EDITION is £479.99. any lower price is an offer. Please do not try to tell me its not. Its getting boring.
Again, why would I drop almost half a grand (even if it is around, £400 temporarily, it's still almost half a grand) on something that is not going to change my gaming experience in any way shape or form, at this moment in time?
Yes, I could probably sell the ps4 pro, which would reduce my spend on a ps5 but again what's the point?
FIFA is FIFA. Nothing special about it.

Just some of the games I've played recently. All of them look absolutely fantastic on a nice 4k TV with a ps4 pro.
There is literally no reason for me to upgrade to a ps5, at this moment in time.

its £479.99 if you ignore the one selling it for £400.
Currys and GAME for eg.
Google PS5 to buy GAME , then change the filters to show you only pages and info between Any time last year and say March 2023 (I just did it) it clearly shows you GAMES prices at the time. £400. thank you.
you just ignore the fact that there are differences in the games, some can play against other PS5 players some cant. Some have features the PS4 games dont have.
But then again you can "barely" tell the difference between the two. So that perhaps is the telling part.
GAME have been selling it for £400 for ages and Currys for at least 3 months.
I mean if you didnt know the price then its understandable.
Seems to me that its to expensive for you which is a different argument altogether over it being overpriced.

Those 10-20 seconds of your life you gain back on each loading screen add up. How much do you value your time?

No need for personal digs now.
I have a gaming pc worth £2000. I don't use it anymore as my work have just given me a £3000 laptop to use as well as a desktop computer for some reason. So I'm going to donate my gaming pc my nephew.
Its got an RX 7900 XTX GPU inside, worth a grand.
It runs any game on maximum settings in 4k.
I built it myself, as I have built all my gamings pcs over the years.
Trust me, I know how to tell the difference between graphics and there ain't much diff between what I have now with my ps4 pro and a ps5 on a 4k TV.

Lol mate. That popped into my mind the other day. Fking loading times are slow I'll give you that. I hear the ps5 is quick on that front
posted on 2/8/23
I never really had any gripe with loading times tbh cos they've just been gradually getting quicker as I get older, but I couldn't go back now. Was playing old PS2 games last time I went back home and could read a few pages of a book before anything loaded

Difference is with my PC I have literally thousands of games to chose from. If you have a PS4 and buy a PS5, you have like two extra games.
Plus all of the other benefits. I don't have to pay extra to use my own internet, I'm not tied down to one digital storefront and there's a hundred more.

there was no personal dig .... suggesting you might not be able to afford something is not a dig? certainly not as personal as "Can't say anything these days without offending a few wimp" again im not offended by that sorta stuff but it does seem a little hypocritical.
If you cant tell the difference between PS4 pro and PS5 then I would suggest that the RX 7900 is wasted on you.
I notice there was no comeback about the price anymore how did you get looking at backdated prices on the PS5 and GAME like I suggested?? no comment on that no?

I've given up. It was an endless back and forth about something so pointless
That comment was directed at Simon west, because he was insulting my intelligence and I proved him wrong.
He then filtered me, as he's a massive wet wipe.
Hypocritical it may be, I couldn't care less.
You ignored my question about why did you create a new article when Amiga already has one? No comeback for that?
I assume you or he has been filtered but that hasn't stopped you logging out and back in to read the article?
I never said I can't tell a difference, I just said there isn't much difference.
My brother in law has a ps5. I know how they display games.

I know who it was directed at, I just said its a bit hypercritical to accuse other folks of something you had just done yourself. but at least your acknowledging it.
He has me filtered ... I dont need to log out to read it thats not how the site works it would be the other way about.
Ok I find it hard to believe that you dont think there is much difference .. if you dont then as I suggest the RX 7900 maybe wasted on you and you may have been able to save money going for a lesser one that you wouldnt have seen much a difference in.
Was I correct in GAME selling the console for the price I said back over 3 months ago? or did you not bother checking and will just argue it anyway?

The only reason I created this (well 2) i cant comment on the other one. Was becasue it was clear he was just looking for an argument .. so I gave him one, his points were so inconsistent.
Started of as its over priced at £470 (which i have proven to be wrong), then it focused more on its not much of an upgrade and not worth the update (could be valid), said he cant really tell the difference yet custom built a PC with a graphics card close to a grand ....... yeah that makes perfect sense.
Fork out all that money on a graphics card when it turns out you dont really see the difference between PS4 pro and PS5.
If that really was the case and he was so worried about money or value for money then I think his focus is on the correct things. He shoulda went for a less expensive graphics card given he can barely tell the difference in such things and could have bought the PS5 anyway.
Im just having a bit of fun with him. pretty yeah then again im at work and it helps get through the day !!
