And actually gave me a digital slim. I didnt f***ing notice until almost a year later. Im moving now and putting things in their boxes and i was looking for the pro box. I saw the digital box and assumed it was for my digital ps5, then i found the old digital box and was like wait a min. When i bought it I was so excited and i thought it was the pro cuz the design was different and the box said 8K on it. The lady who rung me up kept explaining that “unless u have an 8K tv there is no point in getting it.”. The store i bought it from shuttered like a month or two ago when they closed down a bunch of stores. I got cheated out of 300 bucks and im so f***ing pissed rn

Nice

A concerning lack of attention to detail here.

OP I’ll get your money back. Just Venmo me what you paid and I’ll make sure it gets fixed

"I didnt f***ing notice until almost a year later"

They look the same. Especially coming from the OG digital. I saw the black bar and i immediately put a sticker skin on it. The box for it also said 8K so i didnt think anything of it.

I also didnt want my roomate to see i got it since i had JUST gotten a job after being unemployed for awhile. So i didnt really look at the box for long and plugged it into my computer monitor and had it in the corner behind my pc this whole time. Like i havent ACTUALLY seen the box since i opened it.

Just found the receipt in my controller box too fuuuuuck. Its probably not even worth trying to get any kind of compensation from how long its been. Ive never felt so swindled.

"Hi I bought this a year ago from a store that juuuust closed down but they only gave me a digital slim instead and I've been using it this whole time... anyway can I get $300 please?"

"Suuuure, oldest trick in the book, pal..."

if only u bought it from costco...

gamestop closed all their stores here in germany last year cause they were losing too much money

Seems like it didn't matter if you were satisfied the whole year

GameStop + Sony fleeced you

No, just gamestop, specifically

The Pro is mostly a gimmick and ass, with some games running even worst on it

It's a scam

Lmao, these don't even look the same bruh

Also, there is no "PS5 Pro Digital Edition" since there is no Disc Edition. They all don't come with a disc drive. The box saying that should've been an obvious giveaway

OP's gotta be trolling

Just say you’re mad cause you’re broke saros out now with pssr2 looking AMAZING on an oled

Some PS5 Pro-enhanced games can run or look worse than on the base console due to issues with the new PSSR upscaling tech and poor optimization. Reports highlight that titles like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Silent Hill 2 have experienced bugs, flickering, and instability in their Pro-enhanced modes, such as shimmering or lower-than-expected resolution.

PSSR Issues: The PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) AI upscaling, intended to boost quality, can sometimes cause "shimmering" or instability in frame rates, notably in Alan Wake 2 and Silent Hill 2.
Performance Hit: Some Pro-enhanced games, when utilizing 60 FPS modes with high settings, actually experience, on occasion, a drop in quality compared to the base PS5.Optimization Issues: Many of these issues are often attributed to developers still optimizing for the new hardware, meaning the issues are likely not from lack of power, but rather implementation problems. Common Affected Games: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Silent Hill 2, Call of Duty (due to intense resource demands), and some others have been reported by users as having worse visuals or stability.

People also ask:

• Why is my PS5 Pro so laggy?

• Do all Games work better on PS5 Pro?

• How to make PS5 Pro run smoother?

Also pssr2 fixed all these issues already in February

So u got charged that much extra and didn’t notice?

Some modern things such as Crimson Desert is reported to have issues on PS5 Pro that doesn't exist on the other variants as well

And not gpt, Google search results AI common questions answer, but I learned about the issues with PS5 Pro thru Digital Foundry and a few others mid to late last year

And like I said, they still report issues with it, although it has improved to a degree it's still an ass product for Funko Pop collectors and Pokemon Card chasers that get excited at new shiny thing

“Not chat gpt. Google ai”

Hilarious

That's the joke☝️
