I disagree. Skyrim in 4K is a huge boost to IQ imo. How big is your screen? I'm getting so used to 4K it's hard to go back to 1080p. There's just so much detail I was missing.

I just bought my PS4 Pro! 
This definitely has been answered many times and I apologize but please tell me if the below is correct:
In order to transfer data from my old PS4 to the Pro, I will connect both consoles via wi fi so that they can sign in to PSN and then I will connect both consoles via LAN to make the transfer process.
Is that the fastest way to transfer my data or not?
Thanks.

I did it so that I hooked up both consoles to the internet switch in my room, turned on OG PS4 and then started the setting up process on Pro.
Took 70 minutes for 260gb of data.
Yep, that's how I did it. Process took about an hour. P.T. also transferred over fine btw.I just bought my PS4 Pro!

Tried to take some screenshots of the gorgeous CoD:IW campaign and the pro was freaking out...it would refuse to take screenshots and basically hang all the ps buttons until it's worked out you wanted to take a screenshot.
Then, about 2mins later, it sorts itself out and takes multiple screens of me.
Sony pls...you're making it hard for me to share the 4k goodness.

I wonder will we see any 1080p 120hz games, such as Quake Champions, in the future. Might be very interesting to those of use with large monitors, or TVs that can support it.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Before I left for work this morning I noticed my PS4 had a solid orange light. What does that mean?
Rest mode?
Hey just saw your post. I actually already did this when I noticed the issue. I think it's an issue with the game itself. When the game initally boots up, there is no black border. However as soon as you press X to start, the game then shrinks slightly and uses the black border.
I see the black border in some youtube videos and yet when I google it, there appears to be no one who has ever questioned it.

Quake Champions is PC exclusive I think.
Quick question. Im going to give my bro my ps4 and grab a ps4 pro right after xmas probably. He's never going to play online but is there a way he can play my digital games if I leave my ps4 like it is and give him my username ect? Obviously id still want access to all my stuff when I get the pro but was curious if this was possible I remember a setting like home console or something? Figured id ask here first before getting him excited with the thoughts of a few digital games he could play.
While you can play the same licensed titles on two consoles there are some serious limitations designed to make it unattractive. You can only play your purchased games as you, or as someone else on your designated primary PS4. Your account can buy games on PSN using your stored credit information. You can't be signed into the same account on two systems (at least while both are connected to the Internet.)
It works like it does on Xbox, it's easy to use. He'd have to make the console he's giving his bro the primary account then setup and account for his bro.
Speak for yourself, I have a 1080p and already owned a PS4, and I couldn't be happier with my choice to sell the OG and get a Pro.

Playing digital titles on two systems does not work exactly the same on PS4 as it does on Xbox. On the non-primary system, ONLY the content owner can play the digital content. Nobody else can. This differs from Xbox, where you can sign in the content owner on the non-primary system and then someone else can sign in and play the game.

A lot of people chimed in refuting my claim that it isn't worth the upgrade for a 1080p owner if you already have a ps4.
I have a 4k tv and, while I do think it was worth it, the hassle of trading and moving over all of my data was quite the pain.
It ended up being more difficult than I expected and I found it to he barely worth it on a 4k. Id have been severely disappointed if I was still on 1080p.
That being said, the thing just came out. I'm sure it will prove it's worth over time. While I'm still glad I made the upgrade, I still feel a little underwhelmed.

Moving your saved data was such a hassle it almost wasn't worth upgrading? Well, that's a new one.
On the IQ point I noticed the difference on a 5 year-old lcd tv; moreso on my new 4k tv. I know it's more anecdotes but it really did make a difference.
Been enjoying my PS4 Pro all week with Watch Dogs 2 and that game looks great. Its FAR quieter than my OG PS4 too.
Went into town on my lunchbreak today to look at the KS8000 in the wild and despite the HDR and general setting being all wrong, they were playing 4K footage and it looked delicious.
Can't wait to see what's available/affordable come my February bonus time. =D

A. Your TV sucks.
B. You have terrible eyesight.
C. You just want to hate on the Pro.
Which is it?
You'll need to keep the original as your primary, and then she can play all of your purchases on the original system using her own account. You'll then log into your Pro but not set it as primary and you can play your own games.

Same thing happened to me, the disc started and stopped spinning repeatedly. I ejected the disc, put it back in then started the game and left it at the title screen until it fully installed. It then stopped spinning and has been fine ever since.
This is the first time this has happened to me on either the OG or Pro.

Can i make new purchases on the Pro or will i have to buy everything on the OG PS4 if i want the both of us to have access to new games on both systems?
You can make purchases on the Pro and download them directly to your Pro. When you make a purchase on the webstore with the old system as your primary, clicking the "Download to PS4" button will download it to the old system.
If you make a purchase on your Pro and want your sister to be able to play it on the original PS4, either use the web store to start downloading it to her system, or log into your account on the old system and download it through the Library.
In the end, all of your purchases are available for both systems, you just have to jump through a hoop or two to start downloading.
I thought when you start a web store download, it only downloads to your primary console?
edit: i guess you can only download to your primary console on PS4.

Gamestop wouldn't take it with anything other than a 500gb.
I didn't know I had to have the system files on a usb.
The system is a tad underwhelming. I showed the fiance the 4k difference.
"I don't get it." Was her response.
Either you're in tune to IQ bumps or you're not.
No, if you have a 1080p TV you can use any HDMI cable.
Edit: And your TV isn't doing any downsampling, that's all happening on the Pro.

None of these. Good try though.
The pro was worth it to me because I value the incremental upgrade.
I can't recommend the ps4 pro to someone who already has a ps4 unless they're just really in tune to things like resolution bumps and other IQ improvements.

Try unplugging the power from it for about 10 minutes and then plugging it back in. Once you do that try turning it on

thx m8. Will put my pro on primary, but download all the games on og ps4 prior to activating ps4pro (bought 1Tb hdd for them) as they are not going to play online.
That won't work, if the old system is not your primary they'll need to log in with your account to play games that you've downloaded to it. This will kick you off your Pro if you're logged in, even if they're not playing online since you can't be signed in on two PS4s at once.
That's my understanding at least, I could be mistaken.

This really doesn't matter because I have Netflix built into the TV but I was wondering what are the proper audio settings to get (passthrough?) 5.1 audio when using Netflix on the PS4, specifically when I am using optical audio out. I have it set to dolby digital out currently with bitstream but it doesn't sound quite right compared to the audio coming from Netflix on the tv?

Did you set the optical out as primary output port?
Thanks a lot!

I must have missed that setting. I'll go looking for it. Thanks.
Thanks for the help. I was able to turn it on, now I'm just wiping the entire system and will exchange it for a new one.

Yeah, I think so. The visuals are great, and watching the movement is a pleasure. It's more of an aesthetic experience than a great gameplay experience, though -- the platforming is kind of iffy. I really enjoyed the aesthetics of it, though, and I've played it through several times. The Pro upgrade makes it look even better.
Come on, now. People are allowed to have negative opinions. Doesn't mean they're blind haters. I disagree with him -- I'm a 1080p owner who thinks the Pro upgrade was easily worth it, and obviously I'm not alone -- but some people feel underwhelmed by the upgrade. No big deal.

I agree. I have the KS8000 (which I love for all other content) but the Pro was not worth it. It's introduced more problems than it's worth, and it's ugly.
For a 1080p TV, I can't imagine how it would be worth the upgrade.
EDIT: this was not true, shame on me, but a bit more shame on Sony...

No, I'm not wrong. On Xbox systems, anyone can use purchased content on the non-primary once the content owner is logged in. On PlayStation 4 non-primary systems, only the content owner can use it - not anyone else. You should read what I wrote a few more times, and try to be more polite in your future interactions.
