If you need a console fast, the slim is the obvious choice. That's also what SOny is aiming at, sell old stock first. The Pro is just too pricey atm. If you're not in a rush, I'd wait.

Que? The PS4 Pro is considerably stronger if you look only at HW. Whether that power will be used fully can only be speculated. If you look at Zero Dawn, there are numerous vids and articles on the net, I personally assume the gap will widen. I bet the Pro will have a better IQ or 60fps (or even both) modes for most upcoming games. Only time will tell how it'll turn out.

Yeah, I'll do just that - wait a bit. For now, the PS3 will be fun enough. I did find a good offer on a second hand site: a barely used PS4 Pro with 3 games (MK X, COD Infinite Warfare and MGS V), headphones, camera and a PS Vita for €300. The PS Vita I already have but I can give it to my nephew or sell it for €100.

I got a Pro because i upgraded my TV to 4K HDR.

The bump in specs is pretty huge, from what is essentially a 660 to something more like a 970 in GPU power for example if im not mistaken.

Games that run in 1800p checkerboarded to 4K or actual 4K look AMAZING compared to the fuzzy and soft 1080p image.

Supersampling is great and when i played HZD on my Projector (1080p @ 84") it looked super smooth without any jaggies even on that huge screen.

Boost mode makes most of my games load faster or hold it`s framerate better and the new gamepad is nice.

Unless money is an issue then don`t buy pspoor because you will probably get the short end of the stick more and more as we move forwards Crying or Very sad

On the other side the Pro is pretty big, and it makes decent noise under full load/4k mode. With fan revving that has a variable pitch that will annoy at night if you have your volume low.

It makes about as much noise as my launch ps4 when working hard but is as quiet as a slim under normal load.

Yeah i went with the 1TB Slim. With Horizon and 3 months of PS+, it came to being €125 cheaper. I like how it's smaller and frankly, my TV upscales really well as it is. Since I'm mostly going to be playing free PS+ games and I use my PC for "real" gaming, I decided I don't need the Pro. Maybe in a few years time, I'll buy a used one for €150.

Emm, does sony raise the game prices before sales? Most games have incredibly high "original" prices during this sale. Even older games

Ok guys, I thought consoles were less an hassle to clean and maintain than a PC

After 2 years of good services my PS4 Pro started to sound like an Airbus taking off.
And this even after just reaching some games menu ...

So I fixed this, but seriously ? ... I had to dismantle the whole thing just to reach the fan and heat sink :



And what about that shit thermal paste ?

At least undusting and repasting with some good Noctua NT-H1 fixed the problem, but what a journey to get there Laughing

Crash Bandicoot 4 is amazing. I hope headshot prehurdered it (instead of prehurdering some random shitty game nobody cares about).

You have my blessing to purchase it.

Also runs at 60fps on PS4 Pro.

"Random shitty game no one cares about" so, we're letting a hivemind or utub influencer dictate our tastes and what games to buy?

It was a joke. Headshot got it which is fine since it was directed toward him. Seems like you have zero sense of humor! We both know we have different tastes in term of games (specially Soul games, Gears of Bore, Persona, which I hate).

Anyway the game is good. If you like Mario or Donkey Kong, basically good old school platformers, you should like it, whether or not "you are a crash fan".
