PS4 Pro boxes getting prepped

Sold my PS4 for 270€, and now I'm having the worst internal debate over whether or not to buy a Pro.

I feel like most of the games I've wanted to play this generation have been on PC. With PS3, there were SO MANY games (Ninja Gaidens, Metal Gears, Final Fantasies, WipEout...) that the decision was a no-brainer.

With the PS4, there were initially many such games (Metal Gear, DB Xenoverse, Nier Automata, Blade Arcus, Guilty Gear Xrd) but as we got closer to release (or even a year or two later), more and more formerly console-only games started getting PC releases.

So now I'm in a position where there are a bunch of PS4 games I'm most likely going to want to play (NiOh, Ace Combat 7, Samurai Warriors Sanada-Maru, FFXV, WipEout Remastered, Crash Bandicoot Remastered, Gran Turismo Sport, World of Final Fantasy, maybe Yakuza) but I can't shake the feeling that a bunch of those games that are third party (NiOh, AC7, SW, FFs) may get PC announcements further down the line which would give me a pretty heavy dosage of buyer's remorse. And there's the fact that I'm not even sure when many of these are even coming out (AC7, GTS, Crash, WipEout) and who knows if the Pro will have gotten minor revisions/price cuts/better bundles by then. Lack of UHD BD, visual design and the high power consumption don't help, even though I don't care THAT much.

So you might be wondering "Why not just wait then?", and the answer to that is "There are many games that I wanna play right now such as Xenoverse 2, and I don't know if I should be buying a Pro along with them, or to get them with PC". Because if the Pro turns out to be worth it, I'll have to double-dip on a ton of stuff.

Decisions, decisions... Whatch'all think?
 
It definitely should be a Neo/Matrix reference.

Well, look at the first party games, if you really want to play them, then buy a Pro, it's only 130€ more towards a Pro. I mean, those games could come to PC, but they also could not. I also have a good PC, but I think I want to play XV NOW and TLG is coming soon, too. The in January we have Yakuza, Gravity Rush 2, February Nioh, Nier, Horizon and Persona 5.

You're thinking too much about it. If money is an issue, maybe wait. If not, just go for it.

No.

No, but I'll just say that if you're looking to fully switch to PC, Pro isn't for you.

But don't confuse reality for how you want things to be. Not all games you want will make it to PC. Also, the Pro should look good enough not to get buyers remorse if a PC port is ever announced.

If money isn't an issue, go for it man. In February I'm gonna give my current PS4 to my friend and buy a Pro even though I don't see a single reason for upgrading. I'm just doing it to support Sony for letting me play TLG, Nier 2, GR 2, NiOh, Horizon and fucking Persona 5 in a span of 3 months. I know some of them may get delayed, but it's still aa awesome line up.

Likewise.

I think it's been a month now. :'(

Holding on to mine to do the transfer thing. Maybe I should rethink it and only transfer saves/screenshots/PT on a USB stick.

I want to sell it and get extra thirsty for Pro. Also, I don't want to see my beautiful MGS V PS4 in the same room as the Pro. It'll be too painful.

Don't jinx us(me)! Every single one of those games has already been delayed at least once.

A week. Try a few months. I miss it more for media capabilities than gaming though.
 
Guys quick question.

I have a 1TB in my stock PS4 right now. I want that 1TB SSHD to go into my Pro.

So, all I have to do is remove that 1TB SSHD in my stock PS4, put the old 500 GB back in, install the system file. Then reinitilize the stock PS4 to make it trade in worthy.

I don't have to ever delete the content on my 1TB SSHD right? I can just put it in the PS4 Pro?

In fact, probably a better question, but is my 1TB SSHD going to be even faster than the stock 1TB in the Pro?

The content on your SSHD will be deleted when you'll use it in your pro. But it will work and most likely be faster.

Don't forget to deactivate your old ps4.

You can put it in, but there is DRM. If I am correct, you will still have to initialize the OS again and download/reinstall all your content. It's not just gonna work.

beside Horizon Zero Dawn, any other game that come out in march that will benefit of the PRO?
Click to expand...

Every game from this point on will have a PRO mode that will at the least benefit 1080p owners by super sampling. Anything above that will include better framerates and added graphical effects.
 
From one of the retailers here in Stockholm. The hype IS real! :D

If there's 3 PS4 Pros in each box. And I count 12 boxes per pallet and 64 pallets*. So 3*12*64 = 2304 PS4 Pros in that picture O_O

* 6 lines of 10 pallet + 4 pallets in the middle and assuming that the lines to the left and right are as large as the lines in the middle.

Haha yup! From what I've gathered the PS4 Pro has been selling quite well here in Sweden, and they even said that they will have a few on the shelves that are not pre-ordered come release day. Though I have to say that this is one of the largest retailers here in Sweden also. :)
 
"Gets you closer to your game"

Considering the size, they aren't lying!

Now, if only Crash Bandicoot will make use of the extra power next year, I'm there!
