Slim won't sell? They just introduced slim bundles with either CoD IW, UC4 and Watchdogs 2 at 299 €/$. That shit is going to burn. Question is if Pro gets similar official bundles.

Looking at the prices and it seems clear to me that Sony want Pro to sell over the slim?

Who in their right mind would spend £280 on a 500GB slim with FIFA 17 ( £250 for One slim+FIFA 17) when Pro 1TB is £350? Hell, the PS4 slim 1TB is £310 on Amazon just £40 less than Pro.

I bet retail will push Pro hard too.

The price structure seems to push the pro. It will be the featured model going forward. The slim is just for people that want to get in on the "cheap"

Feels like they're rushing the Pro out because PSVR is probably a very poor experience on the current model in comparison.

Glad I picked up a Xbox One S.

Have to do with UHD support.

You are covering your arse.

So you think that they rushed the PRO because VR is bad on OG PS4 , that's why you bough Xbox S ? Does XbS play VR?

I have never been more confused by a statement in my life...

Uh, they have nothing to do with each other actually. I feel like the PS4 Pro was rushed out due to PSVR. I'm insanely disappointed the new highend Sony console doesn't even support their current Blu-Ray standard. Not hard to understand.

So defensive. Sheesh.

Expect it to pass a 1080p signal unless your monitor has a way to pretend it's 4K. I don't think Sony has any history of supporting PC monitor resolutions so it's probably just looking for 1080p and 4k, and if it doesn't see 4k you get the other one.



Best guess: As long as your HDMI port can pass a real 4K signal I'd think you'd be able to play games in 4K. But if it's old enough to only pass 4k30 then you'd be framerate restricted, I suppose. HDR changes the color display but isn't adding pixels or anything.

Ok, thanks! I looked at the port, and different ports are rated differently. The best port is 4k @ 60hz.

Bad in comparison to the performance on PS4 Pro or what you would see from competing VR products on PC. Not that it is an unplayable experience not worth bothering with on the standard PS4.

And I'm glad I got the Xbox One S for UHD as the PS4 Pro doesn't support it?

I'm glad you are happy with your Xbox purchase .... you can go to Xbox S OT and express your feelings there.

have there been any size comparisons with the OG PS4 yet? I'm worried about the width of the thing and it fitting in my entertainment center

I was wondering the same thing. Looking at the current pictures I guess PRO is a little bigger than OG PS4 maybe ~ Xbox S size

I did see one comparison of their various measurements, but I can't remember where. The Pro is really close to the original PS4 in height (less than 2mm difference), and is also wider and deeper by a larger margin but not excessively so: roughly 295×55×327 mm.

There should be a competition for the best "PS4 Pro was rushed due to Scorpio/PS VR" fan fiction.

seriously its the craziest conspiracy yet. lmao. especially when those same people may have never even tried psvr to make that claim or are going just by the paper napkin scorpio presentation which really was the rush job with terms like " Highest Quality Uncompressed pixels"

Holy shit. I just watched the conference on YouTube 4K. I didn't expect this. Spider-Man was the highlight. Even infamous the moment she absorbed the neon and bang some cars after. It's MUCH much cleaner and crisper than the current game. I'm a TOTAL believer now

the system looks fucking ugly in my opinion. i thought it would be the same console but it would just say "pro" next to Ps4 or something. they didn't have to redesign it.

Considering I've never watched or owned a blue ray disk,not counting the ones I got free back in the day when PS3 came out, I'm going to assume I'm ok. Sucks for those that want it but I'm guessing most gamers won't give a shit.

I could go to the Xbox One S OT, but the PS4 Pro is the system that doesn't support UHD. I'm disappointed by that. Is not being 100% positive about the latest Sony product not tolerated here?

Something you have absolutely zero evidence to support.

What about the phrase "in comparison with" do you not understand? And it's obvious there is going to be a huge performance gap going by the gpu specs alone of the two PS4 skus...

Yeah, the Pro is looking legit and has me wanting a 4K setup now. Hoping for some good deals in November.

I've paid for my pre-order on Amazon and have decided to just give my OG to a friend who cant afford a PS4. Rather that than sell it to CEX and have them sell it on with a high mark up.

Has anyone actually confirmed that the Pro downclocks itself in "legacy" mode? Or is the Jaguar still running at its normal frequency?

according to Polygon the PS4 Pro is just under an inch wider than the original PS4.

For a hundred bucks more you get a much more powerful machine and ThE Last Guardian will most certainly benefit from the new hardware. If not image quality, then higher framerate.

If you have the extra hundred bucks, I would definitely say go for the Pro without question

I think the 100 dollars is well spent. You get a much better GPU even at 1080p you will probably get better effects and a more stable frame rate. Then if you ever upgrade to a 4k TV or monitor you have a system for it.

If they really want to sell the PRO, they have to talk with SE so FFXV PRO mantains an excellent IQ all the time with 0 framerate issues.
