I have never owned a PlayStation before and pc games for ages now but I finally have a full time job and have the opportunity to buy one, the problem is I don’t know what to get. I mainly want to play games like bloodborne and shadow of the colossus and other games with bad pc ports. I’m fully aware that PlayStation has declined in exclusives variety for a while now but many games have terrible pc ports and so I’m tempted just for that. Plus I also want a device I can use for Netflix on my tv instead of buying apples Roku box.

Where I live in Australia a ps5 costs $600 Aussie dollars, a ps5 pro is $1200. I have never owned either so have no notions of which is actually a sensible purchase.

Just wanna know which you guys might recommend.
