Yeah, though to be fair I jump from OW on PC to PS4 a lot and besides load times doesn't seem that much of a difference. If Pro can at least clean up the look of the game through AA and AF I'm good.

I noticed this last night. On my 4K OLED, it makes text and edges a lot "crisper". It'd be great if they bumped up the internal resolution, but I'm happy enough with this.

So the Mafia 3 patch is out?
Do we have any video of the new AC collection running in pro mode?

Wow, what a major ball-ache that was to set up.
Firstly, had to get Geoff Capes round (ask your dad) to unscrew the HDD caddy screws, then discovered that although you are using the same damn HDD from your PS4, with the latest firmware, the Pro isn't pro-ficient enough to use the firmware on there, to reformat itself, so had to head over to the Sony website and download it there.
Next we have getting the damn USB stick into the slot - great design work there. None of my USB sticks fit, apart from one circa-1970 with USB 2.0 speeds, which I have had to use. Can't wait to use that to put my one back-up game on my new system.
Anyhoo, smooth sailing from there, right? Wrong - of course I was one of those affected by the HDCP fuck-up. Of course. It was destined to be the case really. So now I'm limited to HDCP 1.4 on a 2 grand TV which works fine with every damn thing I've connected to it thus far.
Video gaming is so relaxing!

Fair enough, I thought it would be wired. I'm giving up with my PS4 Pro on Wi-Fi, going to get a homeplug and going wired.

I've got a weird issue when I turn on my Pro and TV. It causes the tv to constantly switch it's resolution modes and will not display any image until I either turn the tv off and back on or I switch the HDMI input from 1 to 2 and back to 1 (where the Pro is connected).
Anyone else experiencing this?

...and now it's messing me about after restoring from USB. Honestly, this has got to be the hardest I've ever had to work to set up a console. After restoring my games, and saves etc from USB, the system restarted, and now I'm back with a black-screen and a white light on the front of the PS4 and no idea if it's actually doing anything at all.

Have anyone figured our which switch to use and that works perfectly? I'm having this issue now.
I've just tested with a home plug setup and got very similar results. My OG ps4 in the other room uses home plugs so just quick hooked the Pro up in there and the speedtest came back at just over 190mb download. Want me to test 5ghz wifi?

So it seems I cannot enable Deep Colour on my HDMI ports, otherwise I just get a black-screen, which means no HDR for me on an LG OLED B6 which supports 2.2 (which I can't use) and 4K HDR in RGB (which I also cannot select)
Not off to the greatest of starts really. Any ideas? Bar taking the bastard thing back?

Apparently load times are faster on Overwatch (PS Pro version) as well.

Blizzard decreased load times across the board (on all platforms) in this update, according to the patch notes.

Ratchet & Clank's main menu background is a pre-rendered video I think, with block artefacts.
PSN downloads are reported in MegaBytes not megabits per second and I think the number updates more than once a second.

Download speeds seem better here. Currently getting about 53Mb out of my 72Mb line, which I can live with. In rest mode. It will be interesting to see what they are at more peak times though.

the controller's battery that came with this new one is definitely lasting longer than my old PSX style DS4.

I've seen no improvement in battery life.
I was having these weird thin, vertical blue and red flashes that started happening intermittently with Tomb Raider and then TF2. Never had a problem on OG PS4.
Turned off UHD Color on that input in TV's settings, then turned UHD color back on, and the problem seems to be fixed. I hope. I really, really do.

It will work on the Pro and while there is fine print that states they shouldn't stack, the expectation is that they probably will.

I used a 7200 RPM and it's definitely noticable.
Tested loading up The Division from home screen last night under the same connection and it went from 1:29 to just under a minute on the Pro.

Posted this in the transfer thread but I don't think people are looking at that.
Put in my Firecuda and it's working fine. I put both PS4s on a brand new Netgear GS205 gigabit switch, made sure both cables said Cat 5e, and it's still taking 14 hours for 700 GB. The Netgear says it's unmanaged and "Auto-negotiation for automatic connection at the highest common speed between switch and an end device" but yet it's giving me 100 mbps speeds. Both cables are clearly labeled Cat 5e.
It's over and done, but it was annoying.

My laziness not using caps. Will keep an eye on it next time I download something. Maybe it's not as bad as I thought.

I posted this in the Watch Dogs 2 thread, but in case it isn't game-specific, has anyone else noticed a thin pixel-like shimmering down the right-hand-side border of the screen? From top to bottom. It almost looks like an overscan issue.

My USB stick is too thick to fit in the front USB ports because of the slanted design. It's worked with every device I've ever put it in including the OG PS4 and PS4 Slim. Facepalm Sony.

Stick it in the back.
I don't have a 4K OLED but I noticed the jump in texture quality and other little touches after a bit of playing. I've played a fair bit of Overwatch so things like the improved quality of the basketball in the waiting room was noticeable. lol

I know that, but it's a pain in the ass since I had to pull it forward in the entertainment center and go in the back after I set everything up. A rear USB port is generally useless to me.

Does anyone use the rear usb port for the gold headset dongle? I'll be looking to do that so I don't have it jutting out the front, but didn't know if there was any difference in quality or range (outside of the distance between the front and the back of the console) as I wasn't sure if any of it was directional dependent.

My flash drive was in the system for 20 minutes. When I took it out it was extremely warm. Beware. There's a lot of heat in the back.
