Have you made up your mind on the PS4 Pro? Getting it?

I am. I'm looking forward to the extra juice. I'm also getting a PS VR too. What about you, SW? Are you finally sold on the Pro?

Not me. Not enough games to enjoy on the system to make it worth the upgrade.

Maybe in a few years time with a proper discount, and some good bundle games or something (assuming the PS4 starts getting good games between now and then).

Im gonna skip it and get the Switch. I need that Zelda, just shoot it straight into my veins.

75% sure i am not getting it.

No. barely use the PS4 I already have

I nearly talked myself into it. Then talked myself out of it. Then thought I might get it anyway. I know I'll definitely get it if they announce strong Pro support for FFXV. Otherwise, dunno.

I'm not getting it anytime soon since I barely use my PS4 that I currently have. Plus, Scorpio will be more powerful, so I'll trade in my current Xbox One for Scorpio when it is released so that I have the most powerful console and I'll just stick with my current vanilla PS4.

Day One

Most reviews are stating that while it's a nice upgrade to the PlayStation 4, it's not exactly justifiable if already own one, you will see differences but it's not substantial or shocking.

The trend seem to hinge on having extra money and a 4K TV, while the 4K TV is implied by default, talking about if you have extra money around that you don't really care about leads to the conclusion of a frivolous non-essential purchase.

I likely will not be buying one.

Nope not for me. The upgrade is not enough if you already own a ps4. I recommend it for new ps4 owners, cleans up some console games nicely. Woo the shimmering mess is gone from ROTTR for example, and a bonus high frame rate to boot.

I was going to get one until they announced that it wouldnt improve games without a patch.

It should be able to improve frame rates and reduce resolution scaling like Xbox One S

Don't even see a reason to get one if I already own a ps4. Can play all the same games already. Don't care enough about 4k and slightly better graphics

I'll probably get Switch first. I'm on the fence buying a 4K tv til I see what is announced at CES. Really hoping that a quantum dot OLED will have a decent frame response before making the plunge. Then, I will get a Pro.

That was a conscious decision by Sony, one I don't agree with. It nerf's the system down to PS4 spec so resulting games will function as they did previously.

Microsoft's approach is considerably smarter, allowing unpatched games to hit the maximum's of their coded capabilities by using the advanced compute capabilities of the system.

Yes, I already made up my mind to not buying PS4 Pro as soon as it was announce! My launch PS4 is still kicking ass, why do I need this Pro for? Pro isn't getting exclusive games and I'll be playing the same exclusive games rather I do have PS4 Pro, I'm not missing much. Nope, never gonna buy Pro.

Not yet. I'll likely wait for two things: 1) further announcements of support for games I care to play; and 2) if FFXV ends up getting a patch and winds up being a game worth upgrading for, then I'll be in the market. If RDR2 is substantially better on Pro/Scorpio than on X1/PS4, I will reconsider.

What blows my mind more than anything is that Driveclub and Bloodborne are not getting framerate increases.

Tentatively waiting. Going to the Dominican in a week and I wanted a 1070 after, but I may dip for the Pro as well.

No need to get it right away. I will wait until Nioh releases to get it.

I think I want to upgrade the PC right now or around those black Friday deals.

I remember there was a SW poll where it shows that the majority of PS4 owners had no reason to get a PS4 Pro especially since they play the same games.

I'm considering it. I probably won;t get one anytime soon though.

They need to offer 60fps/1080p or 1080p (downscaled from 1440p)/Ultra settings/same fps as the original PS4 in every game. If that's a thing, then selling the OG ps4 and getting the Poo is worth it.

Nope.

Nope. Piss poor 1TB HDD means I will have to put another HDD in as I had to with my current PS4, because they wont let me have an external like I can for my Xboner. So sorry Sony, you haven't given me enough reason to upgrade.

Pass.

I would drop money on it right now if it was bundled with a game, unfortunately it is not so I dont feel like throwing $640 NZD on a system then a further $100 for a game.

No need it for it atm. 4K isn't a big deal for me.

Driveclub makes sense because of the closure and acquisition of Evolution Studios. There are licensing barriers for them to work on Driveclub in any capacity again (plus it's way past its sales prime) and Sony's focus should be - and is - on Gran Turismo moving forward (though I have my misgivings about Polyphony's management).

Bloodborne is a bit more of a head-scratcher. I can only reason that FromSoftware is preoccupied with other projects and can't commit the resources without causing delays to their games' release windows. Bloodborne is also beyond its sales prime, but that's hard to use an excuse when other AAA hits (like TLOU:R) received patches. I guess fixing the framepacing must mandate a level of investment and time that Sony doesn't want to absorb right now.

I sware that Sony and Microsoft both know their consumers are disappointed this gen and are just trying to cash in by offering a "better" experience.

No. I want one... but for the same reason I want an X1S: this animal lust for any new tech I can play with. There is no actual reason for me to own one. Well, some boosts to 1080p games here or there as patched, but IMO the biggest benefit is if you have an HDR 4K TV. Which I do not.

I'm buying it. I sold my PS4 like 3 months ago so pretty easy decision. If you don't own a PS4 buying a slim over the Pro is a bad decision.

I'm surprised a strong majority are saying no.I'd would have figured otherwise,wow,really shocked.To answer the question of topic,yes I'm planning to pick one up when I get my income tax back,probably around March/April.Right now I live from pay to pay,so can't right now. :(

I don't think I will. the improvement it has doesn't really matter to me not to mention I don't really have a 4K TV and not planning on buying one this early.

Day one for me i sell my current Ps4 last week

No point since the scorpio will make it obsolete in a year.

I'm getting it for 1080p..... I'm all about image quality and for me a native, down sampled 1080p image is the best.

@FLOPPAGE_50: So what you're saying then is since 2013 the Xone has been obsolete?

Not that I really want one, but it's the upgraded version console I want that will play future games for the console I want better.

So why not.

Not anytime soon, I'm more interested in the Switch than the Pro. Maybe when Spider-Man, Horizon, & Days Gone release, I might cave. Scorpio is what entices me the most though.

Seriously why no Bloodborne upgrade? From the reviews, it seems it's a minor upgrade and not worth upgrading if you have a Playstation 4 already, if you have the extra cash and are a graphics enthusiast/cow, go for it...lol

I'm getting one.

It's in the mail!

No, at least not yet. I think the improvements are too low to warrant getting a new model. I would like the boost in VR, but compared to my PC, I probably wouldn't even notice the differences between the original 4 and Pro. However, there was one opportunity they missed: If they allowed a 3.5'' HDD or a 15mm 2.5'' HDD, it would have been day 1 for me. It's a stupid idea to sell a hardcore system and not allow for big harddrives. It's just as stupid as selling a 4k compatible Ps4 which doesn't support 4k BluRays (or a PS Vr with no HDR pass-through). Maybe I'll get one if it is a nice version, like a Persona 5 special edition or something like that.

This.

I'd rather upgrade my PC next.

Nope all i need is the Switch baby

Maybe if i had the $$$. Between the Pro, PSVR, a 4k TV and all the new games I have yet to pick up this year...yeah. That's a lot of f***ing money. I think I'll stick with my OG PS4.

Yeah i am getting it.I sold my OG PS4 last week.

I want to experience FFXV in the best possible way.

Preferably with a game bundled in and preferably a white or limited edition PRO.

As it stands now I'm postponing my PS4 purchase a bit longer.
