[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)

Yeah why would anyone pay 700 bucks for a highly restricted device, that can't even play games online without an additional subscription. Just get a Steam Deck, which costs less, is portable, doesn't require subscriptions, and basically works like a full PC.

I have a Steam Deck and a PS5 that I will be replacing with the Pro when it ships. So to give you an answer: I'm not going to be plugging a Steam Deck into a 4k 65" OLED TV with VRR. Don't get me wrong, I love the Steam Deck, and I also enjoy PC gaming when mouse and keyboard makes sense, but sitting on the couch in font of a giant responsive display with amazing colors is by far how I enjoy gaming the most.

Ok but why are you replacing the regular PS5 with the PS5 Pro?
