mgartley82 8 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I bought into the Hype of the PS4 Pro on the back of getting the PSVR. Don't notice a difference at all. Save your cash for lager and just get a normal PS4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got one and glad they upgraded or not worth the 380? Yes I got rid of the Xbox one and have been a Microsoft fan since the original Xbox. I could not change my teams on pro evo so switched and switched to the PS4 pro when it was jnot long out. It's a very nice machine, get a verticle stand for it if you get one as it big but really nice looking, I honestly thought I would regret getting rid of the Xbox one but this is one good machine. I play it on a Panasonic txp50vt50 plasma 1080p and it's a smooth as , Just got Dirtb4 and it looks Fanta sticky smooth and plays amazing . Really worth the money if you do not have a PS4 but if you have a PS4 then it personal choice, games will run smoother and faster, downloads and gaps during games will be shorter Its basically a PS4 with a turbo stuck on the back of it and I haven't even played on a 4K with it yet and I only payed £349 for mine.

A Thanks for the review mate. I'll wait for now i reckon, my ps4 is a launch console and its got a few injuries. Need to stand it vertical because if i lie it down flat every now and then it will randomly eject the disc. Its the heat that builds up inside the console and it makes the chassis expand into the eject button. Its been like that for months and only recently discovered it doesnt happen if i have it vertical so i'll run it into the ground then see about a pro Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had them all since the zx spectrum days , mega drive , Snes , PS1,N64, PS2, Xbox,Xbox 360, Xbox one now the Sony pro, I have also had the GBA, the psp and my son currently has the 3dsxl. . So when I say I know my consoles it because I have owned so bloody many over the years and looking through that list the 2 I was most disappointed with were the PS2 and the Xbox one which is kind of weird , I had the ps2 since launch date and sold a year later and loved the original Xbox. So if I say it's a hell of a console don't listen ?, but if your other ones at deaths door then why not ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 72,863 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 PS5 will be out in the next 2 years so unless you are desperate it's best to wait imo. Mind you if you have all the kit like a top end 4KTV (and it needs to be a top end one as the lower price ones don't have decent HDR which is what you are looking for in gaming at 4k) It's going to blow the new X box out the water too so I'm just going to wait as it will be a more powerful machine and will have the best devs on it. If money's not a issue then why not though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If money's not a issue then why not though I just bought the wee man a Sony Bravia 32" wd756 for his birthday. Sony have a 32" HDR tv Af just over £300, they have put it in non 4K tv's now the only ones to do it so far, only thing was it was not full hd and he has sky Q, but they have a 40 and 43" at £569 or something and that's not bad for full hd and hdr especially for gamers . ?

I'm trying to not cave in for a TV at Christmas. I know if I wait till 2018 Christmas time I'll get just as good a deal on what will be a better TV for the PS5 but as you know we all cave in for some reason anyway!! ukhotdeals or whatever it is called is great for keeping an eye on the best deals for 4k TVs. Saw a 50" Samsung cracker for just over £500 one of the better ones rated for gaming but didn't go for it and now it's back at £800!

I have waited also as I have a great 1080p picture downstairs and the same upstairs, Panasonic will be the range I am looking at and they were still short just now, got sky q so get 1080p instead of 1080i now but again not a great amount of 4K stuff and you will probably still watch more 1080p stuff than 4K. I will probably wait another 2 years before I buy one that and because the wife would not be too chuffed But buying a pro is only £350 to at least get something out your tv now as it would look great ?

krs 1 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I don't have a PS4, still using my 3, but now looking to either get a second hand C chassis PS4, slim PS4 or a Pro. Cant decide what to go for! I don't have a 4K tv so not sure a Pro would be the right on to get at the minute.

TMB 14,167 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 If you want to play games in native 4k resolutions you need a GPU like a 1080ti which costs about £600+ on its own. The PS4 Pro wont play games in native 4k, it'll upscale it. Upscaling means the console takes one pixel, and replicates it in to a block of four, so there's no more detail to the image despite the big fancy TV. I actually think these consoles use a HDMI 1.4 port so you can't even get more than 30 frames per second on any TV or monitor you buy. If you play on console it's just for fun and you can have that with a standard PS4. If you have extra money and you want to upgrade your PS4 then buy an SSD and swap out the old hard drive.

It is never out the wee cunts room so he might as well have it I hate sharing my games console, can share the car with the Mrs but not my game console and these wee fuckers should get their own and learn some respect. But if pro evo is not an issue for you then buy one before a the Sony pro as this will be everything the rushed out Xbox one should have been and Microsoft I find rarely disappoint .

Yeah, I don't play PES so makes no diff to me mate. If you can't currently do it on the Xbox One I'd doubt it'd change on the One X ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
