Why did they just ignore the fact that #PS5Pro is supposed to come with a 2TB SSD in the presentation? pic.twitter.com/t0wBcTKJhw

Knowing that the entire Insomniac Spider-Man franchise will be visually refined on the PS5 Pro through Upgraded GPU, Advanced Ray Tracing, & AI-Driven Upscaling gives me life. Can't wait to see how all these games will look and play running on new hardware! #PS5Pro 🕷️🎮 pic.twitter.com/jnBGTePKZH

A little sad the #PS5Pro is all digital and is $700 dollars. Very happy it has the capability of running Fidelity + Performance together. But my OG PS5 is still a powerhouse. I won’t be upgrading. But i don’t see why people wouldn’t be excited to get it.
