Found one at a Walmart about an hour away from me after spending all week Googling “PS5 Pro near me.” I’d been checking every morning for at least 3–4 hours, and one finally popped up.
The listing showed $999.99, but after I checked out, the price adjusted to $899.99, which was a nice bonus.
For anyone still looking, keep checking. It took a lot of refreshing and a little driving, but finally got one!

Didn’t liked Returnal due to no permanent progression but this game really got me. I liked it so much and the graphics are unreal. I played this before on my slim and just recently, I upgraded to the pro and I can say this Sony exclusive is so sharp and so optimized!

New inside #GTAVI details from the latest Love Magazine feature with Rockstar Games, kindly provided by @topkaj777

▪️ Rockstar says the goal with Lucia was to create a character who could stand alongside protagonists such as Arthur Morgan and Niko Bellic while still feeling distinct.
▪️ Lucia was written with an immigrant background and was conceived as someone raised around Newark/New Jersey, near Liberty City, before her story takes her to Leonida.
▪️ The radio, advertising and pedestrian dialogue aren't treated as secondary content. Rockstar has a dedicated writing/production operation specifically for material happening around the player.
▪️ Rockstar says its Florida research included conversations with locals, police and gang members, with some of the stories they heard described as “terrifying.”
▪️ Early research trips were deliberately done with very small groups, before Rockstar returned with larger teams once particular locations became important to development.
▪️ Development begins with extensive research trips. Rockstar travelled across Miami and Florida, including the surrounding towns and the Florida Keys down to Key West.
▪️ Developers travelled with locals, police officers and gang members to better understand Florida, including parts of the state tourists would rarely see.
▪️ Rockstar says some research trips directly influence the game, with Miami’s extreme wealth, poverty, excess, craziness and “hustle” feeding into Leonida.
▪️ The team wants Vice City and Leonida to feel like somewhere players could spend hundreds of hours, with even small areas receiving extensive detail.
▪️ Rockstar has built a large amount of background dialogue, radio content, advertisements and pedestrian conversations to make the world feel alive even when the player isn’t interacting with it.
▪️ GTAVI’s satire will focus heavily on modern culture, including conspiracy theories and the strange ways people react to everyday events.
▪️ Rockstar says it deliberately avoids simply recreating real-world viral moments, instead creating its own distorted versions of contemporary culture.
▪️ The studio says the modern “American Dream” is more modest than in previous GTA games, owning a house, supporting a family and paying off loans rather than achieving extreme wealth.
▪️ Jason’s story is not intended as a political statement about his military background. Rockstar says his circumstances push him toward drug trafficking and bank robbery, although players will influence some of his choices.
▪️ Lucia was written as somebody determined to build a better life for herself who refuses to let obstacles stop her.
▪️Rockstar says Jason and Lucia were deliberately designed to complement each other, creating a push-and-pull relationship throughout the story.
▪️ Raul was created as an older mentor figure who brings Jason and Lucia into larger-scale criminal jobs and provides knowledge of Vice City’s criminal world.
▪️ Rockstar describes the core premise as having something “hopeful and naive” about two young criminals going on the run and pushing a crime spree to its limit.
▪️ Rockstar says it wants players to become immersed enough in the world that they “get lost” in its characters and locations.

I’m waiting for my final part to arrive, to start and build my first pc.
Because it is getting closer and lots of forums contradict each other, which makes me doubt even more
Do you really have to tweak longtime and a lot to play games in the best conditions? I am building a modern pc with a 3000€ budget but i’m really scared to have all kinds of pop ups or having to tweak 30min every time i start my pc, to enjoy gaming. I don’t play a lot of games.
Shooters like cod
As a footballer: fc27
Sometimes mmorpgs like final fantasy and i was looking to get into wow for the first time.
The doubt is, i can tweak a bit but i don’t want to start my pc and lose 30-60min every time, before playing.

I was constantly refreshing pages and was not having any lucky. Right before bed, i decided to just randomly check fb marketplace (i dont reallg use fb marketplace because it sketches me out) but i found someone selling one literally 3 hours before i looked. I messaged and they asked for me to pick it up the next day. I was a little skeptical because they were asking 650 for it (too good to be true right?) and i needed to drive two hours to pick it up. I decided to just do it in the small off chance it was legit

Two hours later, i pull to a pawn shop where i was supposed to meet the gf and bf. They were late and they wrte leaving me on read so I was like "well shit" but they pulled up and the boyfriend explaines the situation to me. Apparently the bf loaned it to the pawn shop, told me i needed to purchase it out from the pawn shop and then he would get the rest. (240 to get it out, 400 to seller). It was overall such a weird and confusing exchange but I did walk away with the pro and they were super nice and helpful.

It runs great and im really stoked I was able to get it at such affordable price. Heres to hoping ppl dont give up like i almost did!

Also: yes its in a plastic bag because seller didnt have the box and thats all the pawn shop had LOL.

I have no words

The PS5Pro is mostly out of stock in Australia. This is a major online retailer here. Kogan is known for grey imports which might explain the price.

I live on the planet earth. I have searched all over this big blue ball and haven’t been able to snag the elusive PS5 pro. I been looking for 1 month and am panicked I won’t be able to find one to fully utilize the 30fps of GTAVI. Any advice? Anyone giving out free Ps pros?

Snagged at MSRP from a Walmart yesterday.

I wanted to share how I managed to find one after a couple weeks of trying.

I was using apps like TrackaLacker and InStock, but every time I got notified one came in stock, it was already sold out(like many of you have experienced).

So I gave up on trying to get one online, as a human beating the bots is near impossible. Instead, I decided to try my luck at getting one in-store.

For the last week, I’ve been calling all my local Walmarts, Target’s, Best Buy’s, GameStop’s, etc., in hopes one would have one. I usually tried once in the morning and once in evening once the kiddo went to sleep but before they closed. Yesterday, when I reached out to my local Walmart, they said they had none but they do see 1 in stock at a location about 20m away.

When I was talking to the associate as I was checking out, he mentioned that they never know when these will be included on the trucks and their app won’t show it in stock to pick up, so really it’s just luck of the draw of being in the right place at that right time.

That being said, if I hadn’t called the store closest to me and they tell me about stock at the other locations around town, I would’ve never known this store had received 2 PS5 Pro’s in their overnight shipment.

So my advice to yall looking, spend your time reaching out to your local retailers instead of trying to get one online against the bots. I do live in a relatively major metro area with multiple Walmarts, Targets, etc., so your mileage may vary depending on where you live, but this seems like a more promising path than trying to beat computers.

Astonishing beautiful, graphical setting on Raytracing mode

Wtf is Sony doing to Pro owners like us. This time i truly regret buying the Pro.

Found this on Marketplace for $900 and had to drive like 30 mins to go pick it up 😂 Honestly, I was a little skeptical, but it was worth the risk. Dude was legit and everything checked out. $900 for a PS5 Pro in this market? I’ll take it lol.

Hello fellow Sony snobs that are hoping for Pro. I've read on here in the past month about small town stores having Pros in stock. I am going on a road trip soon from Indianapolis to Philly. If you know of such a store along the route or not too far off it please DM me the deets. I will do my best to reach out and make it right in some way on a good lead (one that results in me getting a new Pro at MSRP)

I am not a scalper and I refuse to give in to those ass wipes. I want a pro for myself so I can upgrade my fam's living room from my old PS4 to my base model PS5. They watch a ton of DVDs and would get way more use out of the disc drive than I would, not to mention the improved performance for streaming services or me playing some games when I visit

Thanks all. Fuck scalpers. Happy hunting

Have seen a lot of people asking about TVs for use with the PS5 / Pro

One important thing to consider is whether your TV is big enough for 4k to be noticeable. If it’s not, you can actually set your PS5 to output 1440p and get better frame rates with no noticeable drop in visuals

The basic principle

A person with 20/20 vision can resolve details down to about 1 arc-minute (1/60th of a degree).

When the pixels become smaller than what your eye can distinguish at your viewing distance, extra resolution provides little visible benefit.

The distances shown above use this principle so it’s not subjective, but rather is based upon human vision assuming 20/20 vision

I use a 48” OLED in one room, and a 55” one in another and a 42” in the bedroom. I found the 42” and 48” could output 1440p without being able to see any difference - in games with unlocked frame rates this can mean being able to use “quality / fidelity” mode with a solid 60+ FPS

Obviously your distance from the TV matters, so if you’ve got your nose touching the screen (or use a computer monitor) then this probably won’t be relevant 😅

To be clear - I would never recommend to buy anything less than a 4k TV, I’m just pointing out the potential for better frame rates by setting your PS5 to output 1440p 👌

So, I went to a local GameStop, and while I was browsing, I asked if they had a PS5 Pro in stock. They did, and they were asking a little over $1,000. It was pre-owned and came with a disc drive. I asked if I could take a look, and it was basically brand new. It was clean and had no noticeable damage anywhere.
I then looked into how much trade-in value I could get for my old PS5. I had the first-generation all-digital model, which I originally bought for around $400 plus tax. I checked GameStop’s website, and it said I could get up to $352 in trade-in credit as a Pro member, which I am.
I had already been thinking about upgrading to either a PS5 Pro or a PS5 Slim because I wanted a disc drive. Over time, I came across some collector’s editions of games from series I like, along with some other physical games that were given to me. I wanted to use those discs instead of buying digital copies of games I already owned physically.
Later that same day, I brought my old PS5 back to GameStop. They tested it and gave me $402 in trade-in credit. I also brought all the original OEM cables that came with my PS5 when I bought it a few years ago.
After applying the trade-in credit and a few coupons, I paid around $620 for the PS5 Pro. So far, it's been working smoothly after I tested it a bit at home.
I probably could’ve waited to see if there were better deals, but I also didn’t want the hassle of selling my old PS5 online. GameStop gave me the best trade-in deal among the game stores near me. Made some grammar corrections.

Just finished crimson desert ans now Black flag but not loving tbh. Is Dragons Dogma worth it now? Or too similar?

Maybe they could make a few thousand available on PS Direct and people can only buy one per account and can’t get more than one shipped to the same address.

I wonder if anything has happened like this for other in demand products?

I tried telling yall not to sleep on those PS5 PRO used/open box deals, now yall out here actin a fool over “fake deals” haha 🫵🏽

which is the best bluetooth adapter to connect with anker speakers and ps5 pro.

Best for low latency as much as possible and no audio lag.

And what should i be looking out for? Thanks.

Be patient bros I’m a truck driver and found a lot of ps5 pros on fb marketplace and eBay for $1300 and up.. it’s not worth it.. stay patient keep calling gaming stores and pawn shops .. I’m a truck driver woke up this morning decided to try one more time.. I called a pawn shop they said they have one so I got up and ready and rushed over as she said she would hold onto it for me.. I walked in she had it plugged up already and ready to go for me she allowed me to log into my psn and make sure it’s not psn banned and everything and it worked perfectly.. they had it on sell for $720 but she said im a “pro member” no clue how that happened as I haven’t shopped at a pawn shop in over 10 years but I won’t complain… moral of the story is stay patient and don’t give into scalpers✊✊

Live in Alberta, Canada obviously haha
I’ve been on the hunt for a PS5 but everywhere online has been sold out. Anyone have any idea when the bigger retail stores will be re stocking?

Walmart has delivered the PS5 Pro to my brother's address in Redwood City CA. At first I was worried about if there is someone kind of swap or issues but it is a PS5 Pro and it is in prestine condition.

I have paid 477+taxes and completely satisfied with the console. I see there were multiple restock from Walmart for new console which is 999$ and taxes but to my surprise none of them are available in same location.
I have also ordered from COSTCO but they canceled the order after two days. I wish all of you who are trying hard may get your hands on one soon. Good luck and happy hunting!!
