Sony's PlayStation 5 Pro prices revealed and horrifies gamers

Today, Sony announced the latest addition to the PlayStation 5 family—the PlayStation 5 Pro. However, the reception was less than favorable. Despite introducing some valuable quality-of-life improvements, told to us per Sony's blog such as AI-driven upscaling, advanced ray tracing, and other essential features, the announcement fell short of expectations. Sony also revealed a limited backward compatibility list, primarily consisting of PlayStation 4 titles. While this feature might have excited fans, the overall response was dampened by certain key disappointments yet to be addressed.



One notable concern with the PlayStation 5 Pro is the absence of a physical disk drive. While it's exciting to replay classics like "Final Fantasy VII Remake" or "Spider-Man", the lack of a disk drive means players must have purchased these games digitally. This raises an ongoing issue for many gamers: the desire for physical media. Gamers don’t want to be limited to online-only digital purchases; they value the ability to own physical copies, insert them into the console, and play. Additionally, a digital-only market restricts the option of buying used games from past generations, which many players still enjoy. 

The most significant concern for many PlayStation gamers is the price of the PlayStation 5 Pro. Priced at $700, it represents a considerable investment, especially when compared to the traditional model where consoles are sold at a loss and compensated through games and accessories. For many gamers, $700 is a substantial amount—potentially equivalent to a significant portion of their rent. This high price point risks positioning the console as a luxury item rather than a widely accessible entertainment option. As a result, some gamers might consider more affordable alternatives, such as the Nintendo Switch or even prebuilt PCs and laptops, which can offer similar gaming experiences at a lower cost.''

some choice comments left on Sony's official blog showing how horrified and rightfully annoyed sony fans are at the reveal





It's just

It's reminiscent of a new iPhone release—where the main changes are different colors and a few new features, making it feel somewhat hollow. It seems more like a fashion statement than a product designed for genuine enjoyment.

Does DragonBall Z: Fusion Reborn Hold Up

Image
Dragon Ball Z has been revered as one of the defining anime series of the 90s, particularly in the United States, where children were frequently seen imitating the actions and techniques of Goku and Vegeta. The quality of the movies, however, was inconsistent, with the latter installments becoming increasingly diluted by a desire to over-extend the brand. Nonetheless, some hidden gems exist in Dragon Ball Z's cinematic oeuvre, such as the movie under review, which I will now analyze to determine if it truly holds up to scrutiny or not. Story: The movie begins at the "Other World" Martial Arts Tournament, with the four Kais watching attentively. All of them are eagerly cheering for their chosen fighter. This is when we are introduced to the character Pikon who has only previously appeared in filler material. As Pikon and Goku face off before the finals, their steely glances reflect their determination to win. Neither utters a word beyond a simple "good luck." Bo

Unlike previous antagonists, Bojack presents as a subtle, chess-like villain, unlike in-your-face bad guys like Cooler and Broly. Despite his absence in the first two thirds of the movie, Bojack's cunning mind and calculated moves make him one of the memorable bad guys in the franchise's canon.  Let’s discuss the movie as a whole. Story: At the movie's onset, a wealthy individual hosts a martial arts tournament as a gift for his son's birthday. The event is met with a diverse turnout, including extraterrestrial combatants battling the Z Fighters and Mr. Satan, with a monetary incentive offered.  The first third of that is our he
