[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday (lemmy.world)

You can use a controller on PC and also connect to this display with the same responsiveness and colors.

I've done this in the past when I had a desktop near my living room TV. I don't these days and the experience wasn't good enough to justify rearranging my house rather than simply buying a console.

Also, to get ahead of the people that are already twitching at the opportunity to inform me that I could build a dedicated PC just to keep next to my TV for gaming: Sure, but the cost of building one with similar performance to the pro, while using new components and avoiding Ali Express brands that may start a house fire one random evening, is over 1 grand at a minimum.

I always thought consoles were for the exclusive games and to play with friends, not performance or graphics.

Please, by all means, go email Sony and tell them to not bother with PS6. Tell Nintendo to drop what they're doing with the Switch 2. Us console gamers simply don't care about performance or graphic upgrades. Surely they should have learned this by now.

Makes sense, didn't mean to yuck your yum. Just seemed like your reasons were surmountable with cheaper alternatives and an additional system seemed to me like a large cost. But you want the console, and it seems a solution that better fits your wants/needs.
