Forums - Sony Discussion - At long last, I bought a PS4

fleischr on 12 July 2017

Best Buy matched the Prime day deal, and let me use a $40 gift card I had.

$200 USD out the door for the Uncharted 4 slim bundle, including tax. This will be my first Uncharted game.

I have to wait for it to ship a week out from now though.

I've waited for a great price, how the mid-gen refreshes shaped up, and the library to evolve.

Passed on X1 due to lack of compelling exclusives. The prime day X1 bundle technically was a better deal, but I felt way better about the kind of content and experience I'd get on PS4.

Passed on the Pro, because for $150-$200 difference there's a lot of other enjoyment that can be had. Doesn't seem like enough titles make a measurable difference to merit the upgrade.

Still own and love all my Nintendo consoles, but there's an element that PS4 could fill that Nintendo consoles couldn't. You know what I mean.

Greatness Awaits!

I'm currently going between PS4 Pro, Wii (Yes, I said "Wii) and PSTV/VITA, and I barely have much time to game to begin with.  The PS4 Pro is my first PS4, and I've at least sampled most all of my games.  It's a sweet system.  The difference you stated you'd have to paid would make it a hard sell to buy a Pro.  In my case, I paid $340 for the Pro.  So far it's working out for me, and even more so if I had more time to play.

Nioh, Horizon, and Nier Automata are all recent excellent titles.

I'm in US.

I'll of course go through UC4 first. I'm really interested in trying out Until Dawn very soon.

I'm happy to take recommendations! I'm curious to know what PS4's best overall racing game is...

 Other titles I'm looking to grab soon are Horizon, Nier, and maybe Shadow of Mordor and Persona 5.

How close does Nioh feel as an Onimusha spiritual successor? Fave series on PS2.
