I got a ton of play out of my PS4 at the height of the pandemic, and have been considering a PS5 for a while now, but I just didn’t think it was worth it. I’m probably in the minority, but I think I would probably buy this, if the spec bump was significant enough. I also really hope they release it in black. It’s silly, but the white 90’s router is so so ugly, and frankly one of the reasons I’ve stayed away. If they charge more than $600 though, it’ll be a hard no. Don’t fuck this up Sony.

coming from someone who has both a ps4 and a 5, I wouldn't buy the upgraded. the 5 is worth maybe 400 max, but I honestly think if you have a ps4 pro I would peg it around 350ish. I hate the new UI layout along with the controller layout. It's worth it maybe if you don't have the ps4 pro, because the increase in ram, Vram and general processing power is noticable. but if your current system is the PS4 pro, you won't really notice a big performance difference, and while there is a clear graphical difference, I for sure don't think its worth a 600$ price point.

I appreciate the advice. My PS4 is just a lowly slim, not a Pro, so it is definitely showing its age. But I'll for sure take this into account, thanks!

Basically the same. 600 is steep though. It at least better have the disc still.

And god yes. I detest white electronics. Please make it in black stock, especially for that price.

You can buy plates for sub-$50 on Amazon that look like basically whatever you want. The stock plates are designed to just pop off.
