PS4 Pro boxes getting prepped

Amazon is only giving me 2 day shipping option to get it on release day...Give me 1 day shipping option so I can get it early dammit :3
 
Question: the Pro comes with a USB cable to let me transfer my data from my current PS4's HDD to the Pro's, right?

Problem is, I want to keep my old drive since it's 2TB. What would be the easiest method to transfer everything over?
I'm in the same boat.

My plan is to backup saves, profiles, captures and P.T. to USB > swap my 2TB drive to the PS4 Pro > restore the backup > redownload what I'm currently playing > redownload the rest.
 
Just remembered that I had this preordered. I have two PS4s and I could train one in now and only have to pay $200 more for this console. Is it worth picking up a thing launch while my PS4 has decent trade value?

I do have a 4K HDR tv...

1) You can do that with an ETHERNET cable not USB (direct connection PS4 to PS4 Pro)

2) If you want to keep your current drive instead, you have to backup everything on an external USB drive and then transfer to the Pro via USB
 
Do we know of any trade in deals with the standard PS4s?

I'm very out of the loop

Best trade in value I found was via Walmart online for about $178.88 US at this point. The don't ask for the box.

Edit: I guess you could then use the Walmart gift card to buy a visa gift card and use that to buy a Best Buy gift card and get GCU discount of games if you have that or an Amazon.com gift card from a place that sells those if you have prime for discount on new release games. Just a thought.

Well the value of your base PS4 will only go down. It sure seems like a good investment.

I have the same issue and my solution is using my xbone 2TB USB drive to temporarily backup the ps4 then switch hard drives and restore to it in the pro.

I was hoping I'd be able to just put the old hard drive into the pro but reading around that's a no go.
 
Still no hands on reviews? With only 10 days to go, I'm surprised important info like noise level and power consumption is still unknown.

You should definitely trade up now seeing as you have two. As previously stated, the value of your current PS4 will only drop as PS4 Pro gets closer to release and OG PS4's value will probably significantly drop after launch. As you have a 4K HDR TV already you'll enjoy quite a step up in IQ and colour range/brightness. I've seen the benefits in person, and the differences HDR and 4K rendering techniques bring are pretty remarkable.
 
This picture is much better

So, the Australian one is fat, hunts awesome large creatures like Kangaroos, is a huge Gal Gun fan, and attacks people escaping death or having fun.

Real winner you got there, Australia. A fat asshole weeb.
 
Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but do any of the game boxes have "enhanced for PS4 Pro" on them? I know all games that come out from now on should take advantage but it will be interesting if they do anything different with the boxes.
 
I did think about it and I think I prefer it to be next week as it will make the last few days more exciting and bearable.

I don't know. It means the last 2-3 days before it's in the wild are going to be really packed with information.

If the embargo was up sooner, it'd give us more time to talk about and analyse all that information in the week leading up to release. I think some minor stuff will get lost in the noise now.
 
Did anyone else's price go down on Amazon? Mine is £332.49 on the order page.

Hey my Amazon order changed from "releasing Nov 10" to "arriving Nov 10." #happening

How exciting! Even if its a more powerful PS4 I've been preparing the room, moved my existing PS4 down a shelf, cleaned up a bit, don't want to look like a slob for the new arrival.

Same with mine, noticed this a week ago. Seem to recall it was to price match some Tesco deal I'd never heard of. Not that I care!

I haven't seen any EU box with the logo.
 
dont know if this been asked but is it safe to assume that the 1tb HDD in the Pro is gonna be your standard cheap 5400rpm HDD ?

No official word, but yes we can safely rule it as a 5400. But hopefully the SATA III pipeline will maximize it, OG PS4 wasn't.

PS4 Pro |OT| Hello, Neo.

PS4 Pro |OT| Crapgamer Approved !
 
Yeah they reduced the price temporarily the other day.

Mine didn't change. Was this everyone or a select few?
 
Nov 10th can't come soon enough. Although the main game I was looking for a boost was Destiny.

Maybe I'll see better load times with the SATA3 upgrade :)
