Think you can use just any 3-prong cable, ones that computer PSUs use.

Is there any site that lists upcoming Ps4 Pro enhanced games?

What you're describing works on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4. We play the same digital game on both Xbox Ones all the time. It worked exactly the same on 360 as well.
I was describing how playing a game on the non-primary system works with PS4. According to my own testing, a non-content owner cannot play the content owner's games on a non-primary system. Not even by first signing in the owner and then signing in the non-owner.
No worries. Glad you tried it for yourself to see how it really works. i was surprised as well.
Exactly. The benefits of an "owner" account (plus, games) only get conferred to other accounts on a machine designated as primary for the "owner". On non-primary machines, or when the owner is now a "guest" on a machine nothing gets transferred to other accounts from the "guest" account.
Don't know where to post this but I've gotten an offer to buy a 55" Philips Ambilight 55PUS6501 at a good discount.
6990 sek instead of 9990 sek. That's about 757 USD.
I wonder if its a good fit for a PS4 Pro or gaming in general?
It's a 4K TV with HDR+ but I am not sure about the response time and lag.
I have a 46" Sony Bravia KDL46EX500 that I bought in 2011.
Somebody know if there is a difference in quality?

Any better thread that I should ask in as well?

It's the Pro. If you have a 1080p set it doesn't upscale to 4k, it just takes the existing res (which for 4K is something higher, like 1800p, 1400p, etc) and downscales that to 1080p. (Or perhaps downscales 4K, depending on how they setup the UI layer) You get a nice sharper image. Your TV doesn't do anything except be the dumb 4k or 1080p receptacle. You shouldn't have to select a resolution at all.
Aww yes. My samsung 850 evo 1tb ssd finally came in. Transferring 300gb of data and the PS4 says it will take approx. 27 minutes.
Don't have any impressions yet, but might give some in a few days after I get a chance to play with it more. What I did notice is the new DS4 is nicer!
Feels like they put in a pad between the buttons and shell to soften the button clicks. Even the triggers feel softer to push in vs the older DS4.
Anyone else notice other upgrades to the controller?

Is this okay in terms of room for the PS4 Pro?

That's a little too close on all sides in my opinion, but just keep an eye on how warm it gets it will most likely be fine.
That's OK for a Gamecube

I don't think it's ok, especially there is no space behind you console to "breathe", it'll get warmer faster, so the fan will become loud faster too and it's just bad for your console.
Back is probably sufficient, being that the exhausted air has escape routes. I'd be more concerned about the sides; the inlets are quite enclosed.

Okay will move it over. Thanks guys.
Now has a little over 3 inches on either side. Fine now?

Skyrim PS4 screenshot.
yikes those textures are making my eyes cry.
couldn't Bethesda or whoever ported it do some extra work? sheesh
I mean the game overall looks a lot better and at 4K native it quite the looker but yeah, there are still remnants of the original in there. They didn't overhaul everything.
That horse isn't supposed to be there tho. xD

If you dont own a ps4 yet, I can 100% recommend the pro.
That's almost exactly what mine looks like, I think it's fine.

Why?
I have £350 and my choice is a slim for 200 and then spend the £150 on games or just a straight pro with 1 game
I think you're wrong on that part. It's Skyrim after all.

Pro is a lot more bang for the buck. For an extra $100 or $150, you're getting a much more powerful console that will give you better-looking games than a standard PS4 over the next 3 or 4 years. Lots of other extras as well (bigger HD, etc.)
YMMV based on how much $100-150 means to you, how much image quality means to you, and how much you play your PS4 -- but in most cases, the Pro is a better deal than the Slim.
Even if you are oblivious to the graphical upgrades, the optical out, third backside USB slot(finally that headset dongle out of the view!) and significantly snappier interface should be worth at least some of those pounds.
From what I've read though allot of it is lost by not having a 4Ktv?
Really depends on how vital a bit of extra horsepower is to you. Would you prefer to sacrifice a couple extra games for the potential of future releases running and looking slightly better? Do you plan to eventually upgrade your TV in the next few years? Will you be buying games digitally mostly?
If yes to any of the above, the Pro may be more worthwhile. Otherwise, the Slim will be just fine.
The Pro is more forward-thinking as new releases will eventually take greater advantage of the added power, but right now only a small handful of titles actually have any noticeable gains especially for a 1080 owner. You don't sound particularly anal about this stuff, so you may actually be just as content with a Slim and a few more games afterall. Realistically speaking, any recent games look and perform just fine on the PS4 slim, which may be just enough for your needs. (I have a 4K TV and honestly some games look fantastic and improved, others look identical. I doubt I could guess which console is hooked up to a 1080 set at gunpoint and survive in most cases)

True. I forgot to mention that as one of the variables -- whether you own a 4K/HDR set or not. However, most 1080p owners here will tell you that the upgrade is worth it, even at 1080p (check the multiple threads on that topic for confirmation). I'm a 1080p owner and I've found it easily worth the upgrade (and I paid twice as much, since I already owned a PS4).
The only reason I can see getting a Slim rather than Pro is because you're strapped for cash, and the $100-150 price difference is a big deal to you. To me, it's not, so I have no doubts about it being worthwhile. I know some people are pretty tight on cash, though. For them, the Slim may make sense.
Well I've had a PS4 in the past but it broke. I mostly game on pc where I use a 1089 but I've just started a new job where I don't get much time so I've decided to get a console as it just seems more accessible to me.
So obviously with that info you can gather I like my frames! I don't think I'll be buying a 4K to for a while but obviously I'd prefer games to look better, are games getting enhanced graphics not just resolution? Will I actually think wow that looks better?
The price isn't an issue in the slightest I just wondered if I'd actually see a difference at 1080p to make it worth it

Oh, well then, the Pro is the better choice, even at 1080p -- assuming you have a good TV, sit at the right distance, and are sensitive to image quality. You can find commentary on 1080p differences for games like CoD, Ratchet and Clank, FFXV, Hitman, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Skyrim, Uncharted 4, Battlefield 1, TLoU, and other games in this thread and other similar threads. If I were to sum it up, I'd say significant differences are present in all those games at 1080p, and in some cases the differences are striking. Supersampling.
I should add, though, that a significant minority of people report that they can't see the differences, or that the difference don't seem significant to them. This puzzles me, because I can see the differences and they seem obvious to me, but I take them at their word -- they simply can't perceive the differences; or else, they see them, but they don't consider them important. There's the possibility that you are one of those people, and you won't perceive the differences or consider them significant.
I'll tell you where I'm coming from. I enjoy the PS4 and its catalog. I don't want to go the next 3 or 4 years knowing the games I'm playing aren't looking the best they can. I want to have the best version of the console possible. Paying a little extra for that is easily worth it to me. If I got a Slim, I'd spend the next 3 or 4 years thinking I was playing inferior-looking versions of games, and that would bug me.

I'm betting you would say, "That looks better," but without the "wow." It is a subtle difference, not anything that leaps off the screen; it's not a generational type difference. It is a modest upgrade. I know you can't really quantify things like this, but if I were to do it anyhow, I'd say that the images are about 10% better (at 1080p). It's something you can see, but it's not something that will make you go "wow." More like "hmm."
I dunno, I'm pretty sure I said "wow" or something similar after I booted up Ratchet for the first time on the Pro.

Anyone have any experience with this drive?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Image quality looks excellent, shame the textures are still last gen quality.

Any suggestions for a hard drive upgrade? I was gonna buy the one that I used on my regular PS4 but one of the reviews said they revised it so it no longer works with PS4?

Get the pro. You can't play 3 games at once anyway.

This is what I did and got a few games on the best buy sale. I hear until dawn and tearaway are good and they were $10 each.
Any specific things to know about the PS4 Pro or links for new owners and first time PS4 players? I did the RGB full thing and made the colors deeper on my samsung 1080p screen.
Mainly I got it for the PSVR - some of the videos out there show complete models changed in the Pro vs regular VR games. Plus I hope this and the scorpio are the last consoles to get for a while.
Haven't played those games specifically also neither are pro upgraded however both are held in high regard. Get ps+ if you haven't already (free stuff) and titanfall 2 because it's rad/proey.
