Your thread was locked as a decision by the mod chat, so several mods coming to that conclusion.  There were three very similar threads with copy and pasted information from the announcement.  Yours was just a link so it was decided that it should not be the one of the three left standing because it was the worst OP.  The other two were similar and this thread had the most posts already so it was decided that this would be the thread for the PS4 update.  

So there ya go, in case you were curious.  

Calling bullshit on that one. My thread had more posts  then this one at the time he froze it - and then the mod  posted this:

We had three duplicates for this topic, I'll give this one a lock in favour of this one: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=225561&page=1#.

The reason is because there are a similar number of posts in both threads but the OP in that one is a bit nicer. Sorry!

OP in this instance means original post not original poster.  So this is again what I was saying.  There were three threads, your OP was the worst of the lot because it was just a link so it was out.  Next up we had to decide between the two remaining threads with similar quality of OPs so we chose the one that had the most posts of the two.

How are they similar threads though? This thread mentions external hard drive support as a side note. Mine was titled as such and was the one feature everyone was most excited for - hence why people are starting other threads asking why no one mentioned it.

You could make an argument that your thread is different, although this thread is about the update and yours is as well just a specific facet of it.  That, however, is a different argument than "my thraed was locked because the mod is blowing the other thread maker and he says I'm mean".  Please feel free to contact the head moderators about your thread being different enough to warrant reopening, but I wanted to make sure that you understood what actually happened with your thread and did not continue to spread misinformation.

As a huge fan of the Pro and the idea of scalable consoles, I would not say Pro is PS4.5. Honestly PS4 Pro is not even PS4.25, because even though it has 2.5x the APU of the PS4, it only has 1.125x the RAM. A PS4.5 would be more like ~10TFLOPS with 64GB of RAM, if we continued the ~10x CPU/GPU performance and 16x increase in RAM that we have seen on every PS generation to date.

I have been thinking about all of the possabilities that this update offers today, and it is potentially huge. Here are a few;

1. If the external storage allows us to use games across multiple PS4s, then this greatly improves the ability to take PSVR to a friends house and show off your games and VR. 

2. On that same note, having the ability to take games from console to console allows Sony to iterate quicker on PS hardware and make the transisition between devices easier.

3. The External drive support could be opening the door for PlayStation Videos 4K HDR Movie Dowload service to come to PS4 Pro.

May not be the most exciting to everyone, but I think all 3 are awesome, and add major value to the OS and the Platform.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

You'll be lucky if the PS5 has 64gb of ram. xD
