Btw, the latest update that came out days ago still doesn't fix the issue. Hopefully with this video things will start moving towards a fix.Digital Foundry confirmed: PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro have prevalent VRR stuttering problems

We're almost 5 years in and Sony is still struggling with VRR, a basic feature. It's embarassing.
Cerny's contribution created a console that looks weaker on paper but holds parity with it's direct competitor and is more developer friendly. Thats a big win in his resume.
The VRR feature doesn't appear to be his fault
At the cost of one frame every 8 seconds. Where does that frame go? It's sacrificed to the Playstation god. We've only seen him once, with his purple head made of shaded polygons. DF didn't detect this anomaly because they are focused on frame times, not frame tithes.
I wonder if a hotfix for manually selecting that refresh rate would solve the issue.
Starting today the MSRP price of the PS5 is increased in Europe, UK, Australia and New Zealand but strangely not in the USA. At the same time the price of the stand-alone disc drive is lowered in these territory and the Prices of the PS5 Pro and PSVR2 remain unchanged.

The rest of the world getting price increases while the US has the lowest prices. Fuck off Sony.
Yup. My greatest fear with tariffs. Instead of putting it on the consumer with the tariffs they’ve decided to socialize their tax to everyone else.Starting today the MSRP price of the PS5 is increased in Europe, UK, Australia and New Zealand but strangely not in the USA.

This is really where it sucks.
What makes this even worse is that the EUR is really strong right now, so all that Sony is doing is making European and other customers pay for the US stupid choices. It's just wrong on a fundamental level.
Yep, it’s unfortunate because once they roll a price point out, they seldom roll it back. Like if next month tariffs were removed then what? I’m a bit surprised Sony moved forward with an MSRP increase.
Perhaps it’s gives retailers more margin to play with in the face of coping with tariffs. I dunno.
This is the second price increase if memory serves correctly. Honestly the cheapest time to get a PS5 was at launch. It’s so backwards with silicon today. Same thing happened with GPUs. I’m positive it will be the case for Switch2.
As a retailer.... Doubt it.

It doesn't help that Xbox got absolutely routed in Europe. No competition for Sony now.
yea. It was a silver lining thought that I don’t think works, just hopes.
So the increase in MSRP has to be related to offsetting tariff costs in the US (somewhere in the pipeline) Why else would MSRP go up.
This is so balls, I’ve written about this exact potentiality in the Xbox thread. I just didn’t want it to come to reality.
So rest of world eats the tariffs that US citizens should’ve been paying. I guess Trump is right then, other countries will pay for the tariffs. If they continue to have wins like this, they won’t reverse course.
More profits?
You'd increase US as well then right? They make up 50% of the total address market IIRC.
EUR is moving up in value rapidly against the USD. My assumption is that it would help stabilize the pricing in the EU not increase it.
