It's almost time for the highly anticipated launch of the PS5 Pro, and the excitement is palpable. As fans eagerly wait for the console's release, a video game store in Germany has given us a sneak peek with a detailed unboxing video.
The PS5 Pro, Sony's mid-generation update for the PlayStation 5, is set to hit shelves on Thursday, November 7. With a hefty price tag of £699.99, it's no surprise that retailers are already stocking up on the console. However, what is surprising is that a German retailer, NetGames, has uploaded an unboxing video of the PS5 Pro before anyone else, seemingly without Sony's permission.
The video, which was originally posted on Instagram but has since been taken down, shows the store's owner unboxing multiple PS5 Pro units. While the clip has been removed from Instagram, it can still be viewed on other platforms such as Streamable and Twitter. Although there are no major revelations in the video, it does give a closer look at the console's design and size.
In addition to the unboxing video, a photo of the PS5 Pro's internal components has been making the rounds online. This photo reveals a redesign that makes it easier to access the system's CMOS battery, which powers important information such as the system clock and other settings. This change will make it easier to replace or repair the battery, which has caused issues for some PS5 players in the past.
Aside from the technical upgrades, the main selling point of the PS5 Pro is the enhanced games that will be available at launch. The full list of these games can be found online, and it includes highly anticipated titles such as Alan Wake 2, Dragon's Dogma 2, and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
It's worth noting that unlike the main PlayStation 5 console, the PS5 Pro will only be available in a digital-only version. This means that those who prefer physical games will need to purchase an external hard drive for an additional £99.99. And if you want to display the console vertically, you'll also need to buy a stand for £24.99. Additionally, the faceplates of the PS5 Pro are not compatible with older PlayStation 5 models, so players will need to purchase new ones.
As for the technical specifications of the PS5 Pro, Sony has not officially announced all the details yet. However, rumours suggest that the console will have an optional 4K UHD Blu-ray drive, 8x Zen 2 Cores at 3.5GHz for the CPU, an unknown GPU, and RAM, and a 2TB SSD for internal storage. It will also have Wi-Fi 7 and an NVMe SSD slot for expandable storage, as well as support for external SSD/HDD via USB.

And finally, a dedicated PS5 owner has spent a whopping £1,500 on 24 years' worth of PS Plus subscriptions. Stay tuned for more exclusive gaming content and early access to the latest releases.
