    PlayStation 4

    Platform »

    PlayStation 4 is Sony's fourth home video game console, released on November 15, 2013 in North America, and November 29, 2013 in Europe. On November 10 2016, Sony released the Playstation 4 Pro, an updated version of the console targeting 4K gaming.

    As of the end of 2017/beginning of 2018, is the PS4 Pro worth the upgrade?

    For those who own PS4 Pros, whether you upgraded to it or have it as your first PS4, I want your opinions and advice on getting this system. I have a discount on Amazon for a PS4 Pro that makes it about $300 or less. I had my eye on this system ever since I heard Monster Hunter World would receive an FPS boost. I also have my eye on the many games in the future that support PS4 Pro enhancements. But I have doubts about how the price would justify the upgrades.

    Bonus info: I currently have the base PS4, the sharp-edged model. I play on a 1080p TV but have a 4K TV in another room.

    TL:DR - PS4 Pro worth it with ~$100 discount?

    Thanks in advance for answering and reading my stuff. Have a good day.

    Well I don't have a vanilla Ps4 to compare to, but I've been very happy with the Pro I just bought so far.

    Been pretty impressed with how smooth the framerate has been in yakuza 0 and Uncharted: Lost Legacy. Been playing on a 1080p tv and it seems comparable to what my 4 year old Gaming Pc can do or better on the same tv.

    I will say I don't care about Blur-ray movies, but if I did, I'd probably be bummed by the lack of an Ultra HD drive

    I highly recommend it but only if you're going to hook it up to a 4K tv. The boost in visuals and performance are phenomenal.

    Lack of 4K bluray drive is a bummer though.

    I agree with Frostyryan. Get it if you use your 4k tv. Or actually if you never had a PS4 before get the pro as well. If you have a regular one then the choices gets harder. Do you have money to spend and do you want the better frame rate and 4k possibility's???
