It should be here any moment, now. Amazon.com says mine is "out for delivery".

I'll have to go through the process of installing a new HDD but after that:

-I'll own two PS4s. One connected to a 1080p HDTV and one connected to a 4K HDR UHDTV
-I own several games (both physically and digitally) that are getting the update treatment.
-I own a PSVR and about half a dozen games. A few are getting patched.
-I also use Remote play on my laptop, PC, (I gave my Vita to my daughter but i still have a...) PSTV. I also use Remote Play on my Xbox One via PC and laptop.

I'll be able to give a pretty comprehensive comparison except for two things:
1. I have to go to work tonight from 6pm-6am
2. I'm a lazy, lazy man. I'll test a lot of things but I'm not sure if I'll get around to posting about it in a timely manner.

daddy how is it? did you try it yet?

dont have a ps4... should i get the pro or the original?

All I can comment on is what I've done so far.

-swapped HDDs. Put a 2tb in the Pro and put the Pro's 1tb in the original.

-tried to install update 4.05 into the Pro. Was pleasantly surprised to find out that my USB device couldn't physically fit in the Pro because the USB ports inexplicably in a thin ass sections of the Pro, wedged between two thicker sections. USB cables are fine. Memory devices may have a harder time.

- Found a thinner USB drive. Eventually got both PS4s up and running. Began the process of downloading over a TB of games on both consoles.

-Fumbled with the settings on the Pro. Disconnected the PSVR and marveled at the beauty of the HDR  setting. The home screen never looked so good!

-Downloaded my saves from the cloud. I'll discuss this at a later time....

-Tossed in my disc of Uncharted 4. Didn't install the update, yet. Still looked noticeably better then ever. Was it the new TV? The Pro? BOTH!?! Can't wait to see what it looks like after the update is complete.

-Slept. Came to work.

 

And if you get one and you have a good enough display, GET THE PRO. It's a noticeable improvement, even in the way it's built.
