Big Playstation news!
Sony revealed the PS5 Pro. 45% bigger GPU (with 67% more compute units), improved architecture, AI upscaling, improved ray tracing. Some 8500 PS4 titles will see a performance boost (akin to what Microsoft has done with Xbox on many older titles). System will ship with the same CPU and RAM, but will include a 2 TB SSD...and NO Disc drive.
US price will be $
699.99! If you wish to get a disc drive, that's another $80. So, with tax, the average consumer is looking at over $825 for a PS5 Pro with disc drive.
Features including GPU upgrade, advanced ray tracing, and PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution take players to new heights.

Meanwhile, I'm busy playing Astrobot. It is a pure joy of a game. If you've played Astro's Playroom, it's not straying too much from that formula besides adding "more". I'm about 35-40% done, and while many gimmicks returns from Playroom, they've all been refined. The biggest, to me, is the option to turn OFF gyro elements. Good fun, and it really does feel Astro is doing more than Sony themselves are with celebrating the brand's 30th Anniversary. It's also nice to see that, by this point, most of the characters DO have their games available (or soon available) on the platform. Still surprised at no Legacy of Kain given the cameos.
