I thought it does. Or maybe I'm confusing it with the Slim.

Can anyone with the knowledge tell me if amazon will deduct my gift card balance first, before charging my card for preorders? I got a nice amazon gift card for the bday so I'm wondering if I can use it towards my ps4p? Thanks
If you view your order there should be an option to apply your gift balance to it, and it will deduct it against the order straight away.
Provided you've ticked it as an option then yes, gift card first, then credit card.

I preordered the PS4 Pro months ago but we've recently got a new TV unit that only has space for two components e.g. Sky box and Xbox One, the Pro won't fit on top of the unit because of how low the TV is.
Fucks sake.
Fucks sake.

Get rid of the sky box. You life will probably be better without flow-based programming in it, trust me.
I cut the cord years ago, no regrets. Everything is online anyway.
Yes, many of them have been confirmed. But I think we have to wait until next week for a complete list.
As a non-technical person, does this mean I can connect both the PS4 and the PS4Pro to my wireless router via Ethernet and perform the system transfer that way?

PS4 <- cable -> PS4 Pro

If I did that my wife would divorce me.
Set up your Ps4 Pro, go to the settings and "Transfer from another Ps4", connect ether cable to both boxes, click x on Ps4 Pro on transfer from another Ps4, follow the steps.
Profit.

Unfortunately for me, I only have 1 black controller. That is the best deal though. Thanks for sharing.

You have no reason to believe either way, you only have their word. It's just probable that they would use Pro gameplay, that's all.
I've ordered a Pro, so It'll look good either way

Yup. As long as both are connected to the router via Ethernet, you can. It's right in the instructions how to do this. You can also connect both wirelessly to the router and use a cable between the PS4s
That's only if you want to connect the PS4s wirelessly to the ROUTER to sign in. He said they would both be connected to his wireless router via Ethernet. You don't need to connect them together if they are both connected via Ethernet to the router.

Yeah i purchased PSVR on release, And seems rude not to own the Ps4PRO along with it so just pre-ordered it.
Looking more forward too the boost it gives VR.

Thanks for the responses regarding transferring via Ethernet/wireless router. For the last couple of weeks I've been looking for a third Ethernet lead to connect up the PS4/Pro as well as connect them to my wireless router, only dawned on me yesterday the PS4/Pro only have one Ethernet port !!!

Aye. You can still connect both the the router wirelessly and use a cable between them, whichever is easier. You just have to be signed in to PSN on your main PS4 that you are transferring from to start the process
It's pretty painless. Takes a bit of time depending on how much you want to transfer over but it works well.
You can always get up and running fast by deleting any games (keep the saves) you aren't immediately playing and redownload them later. Up to you.
Doesnt all consoles only have one E-port?
Why do you need them to be connected wireless for the transfer?

I only have they word. LOL! And you have...? It's clearly that GOW 4 didn't run on PS4 Pro. And also at Sony event when some game was running on Pro, it was clearly stated.
I asked you this few pages ago :
Maybe because those graphics are possible on standard PS4 or you think that U4 is the best what standard PS4 has to offer and can't go more than that?
And also. You need to back up your claim that GOW 4 wasn't running on standard PS4 and provide some proof. Same shit happend with Horizon when that game was showed for the first time at E3. OMG, is that a Neo version? No, it's not. Game was running on standard PS4 all the time. At Sony event game was running on PS4 Pro with higher graphical fidelity and that was cleary stated during conference on big screen.
This is what I plan to do - keep my digital downloads and delete almost all my physical games. I'm keeping my fingers crossed the transfer won't cause any issues with my other accounts (JPN/US/) with regard those games and dlc working on the Pro. I don't see any reason why this would happen, but still.....
Can't you hide the sky box in a cupboard or something? We have our receiver in a closed cabinet but removed the back so it can breathe.
I'm toying with the idea of removing two cupboards to make way for a larger 4K TV. but that means less space too. WiiU will have to go bye bye probably
In another dimension this made it to market.
Ps3 was crazy times!

I don't know, PS4 Pro Ultimate FAQ from US blog had a stealth update at some point...
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/09/08/ps4-pro-the-ultimate-faq/
Mhn, well that's the dlc i downloaded but still have to play so that would be okay with me. Still weird though. Don't they use the same world?
it's probably because you're doing a wholesale transfer of content which include licenses and also registering/unregistering your primary console, which you can only have one of. It's not simply transferring data between two pieces of hardware and some of what you're doing requires exactly the same server authorisation when you're just authorising without the data transfer so it makes sense that it has to be connected to their servers.
How long will it take to transfer about 500GB?
Thanks.
connected via ethernet for transfer speed and robustness. But when connected to each other via ethernet, that means they can't be connected to the internet by ethernet (only one socket). So they have to use wireless to connect to the internet. This is presumably to sign you in to PSN to authenticate and then deauthorise the old console.
Dunno, just seen 300 GB and that took 45-50 minutes
Can this be done after the transfer is complete?
The consoles are connected via ethernet or you have the option to do it via the router if your consoles aren't together.
How do you think that you're going to activate and deactivate your primary console without connecting to the servers that do that?
It's been that way since the PS4 launched, it would defeat whole the purpose of activating it if it wasn't server based as the whole point of the activation is that it authorises what your account is doing on that console with Sony.
This is the same whether you're performing this transfer or not while doing it.
EDIT:
When connected to the network wirelessly (Wi-Fi)
When connected to the network with a LAN cable (wired)

Does the Pro dualshock 4 include the option to turn off bluetooth and have it connected fully via usb?

Okay.

Yeah, that was the shit. Not sure why you'd need two HDMI outputs though?

Yes, it's the new model like the slim.
So you could mature your hd content of course haha.
CyberPunked, the whole point is, when we have Shu, and the actual developers themselves saying that the games at E3 were running on a base unit months before PS4 Pro was even announced, the onus is on you to provide proof that these games were running on Pro and not base PS4.
Its not enough to just assume people are lying and then point to completely different circumstances of lying as an argument.

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. Those were just my opinions on the matter. Everyone is free to believe whatever they want, and ultimately, it doesn't really matter either way.

Wait, so if you do a direct system transfer, does it automatically activate your new console as Primary? I will you have to do that manually afterwards?

I am more interested about the compression.
The current PS4 has a really bad compression. If there are lots of details on the screen the picutre becomes really bad.
The same goes for videos. And the problem here is not the 720p resolution.

Thank fuck for that. #ForeverWired
People just can't admit they are wrong LOL. You can believe whatever you want but when you spout it to others you need to back it up.

Has anyone bought from Game UK before for a console launch? Are they usually on time? I don't know why I didn't by from Amazon tbh, I even have prime.

All my previous preorders from game have been release day store collections. In that respect the console has always been there on launch day as promised.
