I don't believe for a minute that it looks this bad on PS4.
That might be it, then.
Best of luck to you, in having yours shipped soon!
Nope. As far as I know, in order to get the Prime benefits, you need to cancel/re-order.

Looking forward to playing on PS4 Pro, but I'll wait for the inevitable Horizon Bundle.

That is direct feed from digital foundry. You don't think they make bad screenshots on purpose, or do you?
Well seems I was wrong about this one.... FedEx shipped from Target, estimated delivery date of 11/12

Logic board, heatsink, HD, blu ray. There, suspense lifted.

What's "bad" about it, aside from the resolution? The PS4 runs it at something like 900-1000p, and that looks exactly like what a variable res game would look like. The PC shots at 1080p look exactly the same except a little crisper.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
That's the thing with these dynamic resolution games, you can catch them at very bad moments too. At least you won't see the performance dipping down.

I already have a ton of games that are getting patched. I started inFAMOUS just to test out HDR and will play through it again in 4K. With the narrative around here I forgot how good it actually is!

Cancelled my amazon preorder and ordered there. Let's hope they ship on time.

1. Download the latest firmware: http://dus01.ps4.update.playstation.net/update/ps4/image/2016_1011/rec_741cfe2f0dec1bb4663571de78ae31cf/PS4UPDATE.PUP to a USB stick. Place the file in the update folder you make by following these steps
2. Swap out your drive with the Pro's drive
3. Plug in the USB stick with the firmware on it and boot the PS4 into safe mode by holding the power button until you hear two beeps. Make sure you do this with the console fully shut down (no rest mode).
4. Plug a controller in via USB like the screen suggests and press the home button to sync it to the PS4.
5. Select "Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)" and go through the steps
6. After the OS is installed and you can use the PS4, go into system and restore your PS4 with the backup you made.

AWESOME ! thanks. I wonder if the restore process will take as long as it did initially. It took almost 5+ hours to get the data off the 2 TB HDD

i've heard anecdotally that the restore process is quicker than the backup process
Can't make a new thread on this, so i'll ask here:
I'm planning on selling my PS4 before buying a Pro. Are the correct steps to first deactivate the console as your primary, then do a full initialization (format)? Sony also suggests backing up stuff onto a USB, but what exactly gets backed up? Saved-games, account info like games purchased etc is saved online anyway, and i do not have any pictures, video or downloaded games that i have issues redownloading later. Is backup necessary?

There's a thread on this already.
Me too. I have zero time for another MP shooter. What am I doing?

Which is what I'm reallllllly hoping the BF1 PS4 Pro patch does,
I know it wont beable to maintain 60fps, but if they can do 1080p with no dynamic res and a better framerate than what we have now, I would be so happy.

What are the chances for DQB and WoFF? I would really like a locked 60fps on DQB and 4k on WoFF.

Doesn't BF1 have framerate as a variable on their servers, they should let Pro players play each other at 60fps if so (and the game is even capable) but they won't.
what do you mean? BF1 already targets 60 on consoles. Pro would just hit that target more often
In your case, no backup is needed unless you maybe want to just get a copy of your saves just in case.

Also take into consideration that backing up/restoring will most likely be faster than downloading any digital games that you might have

Think he means in the server settings to search for custom games.
And they dont, and I hope they never bring that in as it would seperate me from my usual buddiesd who havent got a Pro yet.
Edit::
And cross posting myself from the HDD thread for trhe Ps4 Pro:
Has there been any indication the firmware for the PS4 Pro will be any different to the PS4?
The last thing I'd want, and I imagine most of us who are changing the HDD would want, is to be up shit creak with the wrong Firmware attempting to be installed.
I assume it will just be the same, but the Pro "unlocks" features in the firmware itself.
Saved data and user accounts are backed up. It's a good idea for people with a lot of users on their ps4.
Not sure if there is a different firmware but I am pretty sure that if there is, it wouldn't let you install the wrong one.

Could you set the video out on the PS4 to 1080p and take a few screens?
Pretty please with sugar on top. (unless this has been done elsewhere already)

I was just thinking - my son's PS4 is my primary PS4 so that he can play the games I buy, too. I think that means my saves are not being backed up online on my other PS4. Hmm :\
I think you get online saves with PS+ so if you have PS+ your saves should still be uploaded on that secondary machine. Might not be automatic though.
And your son's saves won't get uploaded at all even on a primary machine - its the one PS+ feature that isn't shared across users for some reason (cost probably). Very annoying

hhmmm...if I'm going for a new HDD in the Pro but I'm doing a straight transfer (with network cable) I assume I'll need to install the latest firmware on the new HDD?

Dang, my local Walmart had the pro price sticker out but I asked one of the employees (he was a bit younger) and he said they didn't have them out yet.
I'm gonna try a different place and find an older person lol

Why would Pro owners want to segregate themselves to a tiny subset of the PlayStation online community?

Oh my god. Wow, and this is just Titanfall 2.
PS4 PRO (downscaled to 1080p)
PS4 Standard (Direct capture from DF Faceoff)
wow
So if I play Titanfall 2 in a 1080p TV I'll have this kind of image quality?

Yes? Unless Titanfall 2 has multiple 1080p modes.

Question on sharing games. I'm planning to keep the master account on the original ps4 and go secondary on the pro. Curious if I can play online with someone using their secondary account with access to the master and myself using the pro. Don't expect anything but could see it as good gain.

In motion it always looks better.

I was able to score a PS4 Pro from Target for $367 tax included. I won't feel bad about missing any game or controller bundles now.
