We may be four years into a console generation, but this holiday shopping season is a big moment for players. There are new Xbox models out, the Meta Quest 3S, and the brand new PS5 Pro. You might be tempted to pick up those shiny new items this holiday season, but the hot new thing and the most practical deal aren't always the same thing.

Case in point: the PS5 Pro. If you don't have a PS5 and are looking to pull the trigger this holiday, you may feel pressured to go for what's billed as the most powerful version of Sony's system.

This includes Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Silent Hill 2 remake, two games that have been found to have graphical issues and glitches on the PS5 Pro.
