Summary

In the latest episode of the Mastering the Game podcast, host Jermaine Harris discusses the recently announced specifications and pricing for the PS5 Pro. He highlights that the new console features a significantly faster GPU, promising up to 45% improved rendering for gameplay. However, he criticizes the high launch price of $700, particularly noting the absence of a built-in disk drive, which forces users with physical games to purchase an external optical drive. Harris expresses skepticism about the value of upgrading from the current PS5, especially for existing owners, and feels that the additional costs—like the separate purchase needed for a vertical stand—reflect a greedy marketing strategy by Sony. He concludes that he is unlikely to buy the PS5 Pro at its current price point and may consider acquiring a used PS5 instead.
