It's no secret that the PlayStation 5 Pro is a pretty bold proposition, financially – I can't have been the only one whose jaw physically dropped when Sony unveiled the mid-generation console's price at the end of its reveal stream a few months back. I spent the next few days telling myself it was clearly an unnecessary purchase, knowing in the back of my mind that I'd probably pre-order it anyway.
I'm a tech journalist: the reality is that I do indeed care about frame rates, lighting technology and resolutions, for better or worse, so I knew that I'd ultimately want the best if I could afford it, just like I don't need one of the best gaming headsets, but have one anyway. That's the question for most prospective PS5 Pro owners, after all – can they afford it?
