Episode 177

The PS5 Pro has finally been revealed and it costs...$700?? Today, we dive deep into the (extremely) steep asking price for Sony's newest console and discuss the technology powering the machine, as well as offer our opinions on whether the value proposition is worth it for most consumers. In contrast to the somewhat tepid reaction to the PS5 Pro, we also talk at length about PlayStation's newest critical darling, Astro Bot. As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Astro Bot, Satisfactory, Deadlock). This episode was recorded in September 2024. Royalty free music from BenSound.
