Ugh, I keep going back and forth as to whether or not I should pick up a Pro D:

Nah, not right now. At least wait for a sale or decent bundle. As someone who owns one, and has a 4K HDR TV, even I can admit that this is a tough sell. HDR is easily the biggest gain I've seen any of these games get, and regular PS4s can do that just fine.

I don't think so. If you have any problem with your current ps4 like loud fan then that will make trading it to slim worth it.
Not sure if old but the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and 2.5 Collection for PS4 is up on Amazon.
64.99, 51.99 for Prime.

Thanks. Preordered
I got a Pro when they were running that trade-in deal. In all honesty, I'd probably be happier with the new Slim deal (I'm still running a 1080p TV and will be for some time). It's essentially $230 in TIV plus a free game, vs. $260 they offered for the Pro at launch ($210 for system plus $50 discount).
Still, I do like the 1TB drive... I was always bumping up against capacity on my old PS4... and I guess it isn't like I need anything more to play right now. But my big reason for trading in was system noise, and it seems like the Slim already had that well taken care of.

Whoaaa
Should I take that PS4 Slim deal on EB?
Trade PS4 for Slim for $100 and get Uncharted 4 and another game free.
Um.. that sounds awesome right?
And maybe then I can sell the PS4 Slim for $400 and upgrade to PS4 Pro for $100?

What? Selling slim for 400?

Why would someone buy a Slim from you for $400 when they can buy a new one with Uncharted 4 for $329 most places?

Oh I thought the regular price was around $400 :/
Whats the best I can get out of a Slim? I intend to sell Uncharted 4 and whatever other game comes with the EB deal.
So maybe I can make around $400?

I think that's optimistic
I wouldn't buy a console of some craigslist dude unless it was super discounted

How much would a new Slim be if I sold it on craigslist?

I have a pro and I agree with this too. The extra frame rates that some games apparently have is a nice addition, but to be totally honest I think I'd be fine with the original as well. If you got $100 extra laying around, sure go ahead.
If it's retailing for 330 with a game, then it'd take someone listing one for $250 to realistically get a lot of bites (imo of course)

I'll wait to see if the Prime prices change, but I think that it's ridiculous that the PS4 version is $80.
Definitely going Vita regardless of discount.
I did the trade in today because of the noise too. My standard model was blasting while on and even in rest mode the fan was still blowing. I felt such peace hearing the sound of the slim running silently.
So I just checked their website and their tracking page.
I'm very much a novice when it comes to web dev, but their source code does not look like it's actually doing anything????????
Yup, I think I am definitely going to go ahead with this deal. Backing up my PS4 now. Hopefully Sony releases a PS4 Pro Slim next year (since I have heard the PS4 Pro can get pretty loud as well) and I'll just upgrade to that when the time comes.
Yep, just traded mine in because of how loud the fan would get. Made out like a bandit.
I'm an Onyx member (not something I'm necessarily proud of), so my PS4 traded in for $254.75 (standard trade-in value + $65 for the promo + $24.75 Onyx 15% bonus). Paid around $85 for the PS4 Slim.
Cashier checked the trade in values of the promotion's games, and Watch Dogs 2 had the greatest value. Traded that and Uncharted for some PSN credit and bought Last Guardian digitally. Feels good!
Whoa. I met a real onyx member once in the store. It was surreal.
Cars is good, but yes, it's more sim like.

Not answering your question but...
Did he already played horizon 2?
Also the crew could be a surprisingly good alternative.
Edit: NFS Rivals too
I'm not sure, is there a recurring story?
I assume his friends either have the game, or have also asked for it, that's all it takes really.

No I was just suggesting some cheaper alternatives to horizon 3.

The correct answer is that you're too late. With the EB Games trade in deals people were paying $40-200 for a Pro depending on what they traded in.
I sold everything privately via Kijji in early November and paid $47 for my Pro out of pocket.
Now with all the PS4 Slim and Original sales and such you've missed the boat. Wait on sales but even then you're looking at maybe $30-50 off with a free game in 6 months or more.
I'm not sure that's the correct answer haha. If someone doesn't have a 4K TV, theres a good chance they wouldn't think it worth $40-200. Everyone's different obviously, but like I said I own one with a 4K HDR set and I've yet to be really wowed by any upgraded game. Some of the upgrades I'm willing to bet I wouldnt even notice if they'd randomly turned off.
Yea I'm tempted as well, but there's literally nothing I'd use it for except replay Uncharted 4 and maybe get Modern Warfare on it. I really want to be able to hold until a Horizon bunduru, hopefully Chloe DLC will release around that time as well.
Oh snap, Horizon 3 is really really good. If ur bro wouldn't mind waiting for like Boxing Week, it may be $50 again.Sure it wouldn't exactly be a christmas gift but very worth it.

Hopefully this post answers some Q's about the EB ps4 trade in promo:
-Paid around $90 all in for the slim + watch dogs 2, using platinum edge card
-Uncharted is a sealed physical copy in the console's box, and it says not for resale on the back of the case
-Must trade in HDMI cable, power cord, controller, console
-They did not turn on old system but did scan something on it (serial number?)
-I'm using the 1TB HDD from my Pro in the Slim without issues
There was nothing wrong with my launch ps4 but two recent games plus a fresh warranty and new controller for $90 is a good deal IMO.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Maybe its the games youre trying.
Ive noticed a pretty significant difference in recent games like The Last Guardian, Titanfall 2, and Battlefield 1.
Pro is a long term investment, most if not all games from here on out will have Pro support. Its only gonna get better.
Yup, that's the reason why I upgraded. Nothing I'm playing now has Pro support, but when I get FF, RE7, Nier, I'm gonna appreciate the better image quality

I don't ever trade anything in so that deal didn't do anything for me, otherwise I would have jumped on it at the time.

I did the trade for the Slim. Picked Overwatch as the game. Cost $103 using my Red Edge card. I'm going to try and trade Uncharted and Overwatch on Kijiji for games I want to play more before I open them.
Now I gotta download a ton of stuff ;-;

Sunset Overdrive is $10 at Best Buy.
Same. Going to hold off until week two of the holiday sale, then it's time to finally pick up the Drakengard 3 DLC bundle.

Selling on Kijiji isn't a trade.
It's for the IQ discriminating gamer as per Sony who said that directly. If that's how you feel about it then why would you even invest in a 4K set?
Is this an e-mail? I checked my gmail and the only e-mails I ever receive from Sony are receipt acknowledgments from purchases.
I remember when I made a US account (to download Hulu I think) I was shocked about how often they received informative e-mails

WTF. EB had Switch orders already? Damn. That's where I want to order.
Yeah, it's in the weekly newsletter email.
I've been a PSN member for many years and I have never received one, weird
Checked the website, I have transactions from 2008 lol

Same. Just checked the email associated with my PSN and I only see purchase receipts and added funds receipts. How do I activate these emails?
Based on what I read here and elsewhere, they have a placeholder SKU in their system that some stores allowed customers to put money down on...
Pretty sure my store was not one of them... still waiting for official word on preorders, which I assume will happen within a day or two of Nintendo's event in January.
