I’m late to the party but finally got a PS5 slim as my first next-gen (current gen?) console :D
Great system and controller, the only downside is its huge chassis which doesnt fit on my tv shelf.

Then for the games I got Silent Hill 2 and Space Marine 2 to go with it. Pleasantly surprised by how great a remake SH2 is. I hope they do SH1 next.

Nice one. Congrats!. 

Same as you, a sale happened here a little early, I was waiting for the PRO and my PS4 PRO to last as long as it did through heating issues but couldn't justify 890 euro on it. It's good to be late in a way cause now we get all the good stuff on sale, even though I've been buying full price stuff. 

May I suggest you buy PS+ and snatch up Rift Apart, Demon souls, Returnals and a few others and look for the free upgrades to games you have. Some are amazing like The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk which I believe are on PS+ Extra as well. And Stellar Blade if you're into the action genre, it's the best 9th gen game I've played yet and perhaps one of the best games ever, it made it's way into my top 20 and I still haven't been able to stop playing since I beat it. 

How are you finding it besides the size? Did ya upgrade from base PS4 or PS4 PRO? I'd assume the jump from base PS4 would be more of a wow factor than from PRO. Pretty cool, right, like a PS4 PRO 2 😀 ?

Thanks, man! Yeah, I was also shocked at the PS5 Pro launch price. Reminded me of Kaz Hirai and the infamous 599 USD presentation.

I upgraded from a PS4 slim which is luckily still working as good as the day I bought it. I have it on the TV shelf next to the ps3 slim and the ps2 slim. So maybe I'm a mid-cycle customer after all You make a good point about the established catalog at the mid-cycle. Btw thanks for the game recommendations! I am also very curious about Stellar Blade but I feel like I should probably beat Nier Automata first. My backlog of shame is getting more shameful by the day.

Apart from the console's huge size, I'm finding it great. I appreciate the backwards compat, the improved UI, and the much faster loading times. Considering new game install sizes I wonder if 1TB is not too little storage. The graphics are WOW-level great. My mind cannot imagine what playing on a PS5 pro must be like.

Are you still planning on getting the PS5 PRO down the line or will you hold out until the next gen?
