I pre-ordered the pro today, together with a disc drive. I'll trade in my launch PS5, which still gets good trade in value. (CAD 370 store credit, will be a bit less as the original controller has stick drift of course. That's the real scam, controllers. CAD 95 now...)
Not out of laziness, simply more convenient. Plus a new gaming laptop is at least twice the price and sucks to use on the TV. I'll keep my 1060 laptop for browsing and older games. Next one is gonna be Apple anyway, I'm so done with Windows. How many effing times do I have to decline Windows 11, it's asking (and pre-downloading shit) monthly now. And it's ready to install Win 11 again F off. And more updates for Windows 10 it didn't install, 5 updates behind again.
I have to run Throttlestop now to prevent overheating in sleep mode after a Windows update fucked that up. It still occasionally locks up but at least stays at max 60c when it happens. (Setting the screen off and sleep time to the same value has increased the chance of proper sleep mode without locking up to 90% but still happens) And that's after a clean windows re-install which was a pita, didn't solve it.
Maybe the lockups happen when it tries to update in/from sleep mode. Don't know, don't care anymore. I already spend way too much time trying to narrow down the problem. (Including 2 hours on tech chat support) Hmm it's not installing the updates, stuck on Installing 0%. 3 more pending install and one 100% downloading. F Windows.
In a nutshell, looking forward to whatever upgrades the PS5 Pro brings, the bigger SSD, the new car smell, fresh controller, and stuff to just work.
