I don't have a PS4 so I'll be getting the PS4 pro just because it's not that much more for more power.

How's Bloodborne? It looks like a cool game to me.

 If youre familiar at all with Souls games, BloodBorne is an excellent game.

I'm honestly not familiar with any of the Souls games. I never played one before.



Seems kind of like a no-brainer although throwing in what is still currently a $60 game that most PS4 owners should play (but not all will buy) slightly tilts the equation if you're planning buying it along with the console.

But, for $100 more, you're getting quite a bit more than $100 more in specs, even if just allowing for the difference in what $399 buys in 2016 vs what it bought in 2013.

Sure, one can say "I'm NEVER buying a 4K HDTV" or at least not one within the next 5 years, lessening the reason for the premium cost or they have no interest in PS VR, but at that point the question is really just a matter of do you want the updated hardware and performance or do you want to save $100?



I was in PS4 Slim team, but after thinking, for just $100 more you get twice stronger hardware, twice amount of storage and digital out, so I am now for PS4 Pro but I need info about power consumption, heating and noise.

That's pretty much what I'm trying to figure out. I'm leaning more towards the Pro than the Slim, but Uncharted 4 being bundled with the Slim is a great deal imo.

I would assume that power consumption would be higher and a little warmer because of the upgraded specs. I'm not so sure about the noise, though.

I wasn't too when I first played Bloodborne and I loved every seconds of it! It's the best game on PS4 currently.

And I'd buy a Pro if I was you. You'll get noticeable improvement even on 1080p TV. All 900p games will run at 1080p or more (Battlefied 1, probably next main Battlefield 5, FFXV), many games will run downsampled from checkerboard 4K (like Horizon), some games will have better framerate (upcoming games Tomb Raider 2, or old games like Infamous SS that are going to be patched) and some others will have better effects, AA, textures etc. like Parangon.

Also if you want to resell it one day (when PS5 is released or if you need money) you'll get a much better price than the Slim IMO.

Finally the 4Pro is better looking than the Slim!

EDIT: If you are living in the USA you can buy the Uncharted 4 LE PS4 bundle for $299 on Amazon.com if you are a Prime member. Apparently you can try Prime for free for 30 days. I'd buy this one instead of the Slim UC4 bundle if I had to choose IMO. This model will have a great reselling price.



Everyone keeps saying that that PS4 Pro is only $100 more, but since it does not come bundled with a game while the PS4 Slim does come bundled with a game, the price difference should be seen as $150 and not $100.

Since if you wanted a PS4 Pro and Uncharted 4, or other bundled game, it would cost you $450 for what only costs $300 with the slim.

Unless, or until, the PS4 Pro comes with a game bundle I think we should refer to the price difference as $150.



I think if you want the best looking games, go for the Pro. If you don't mind the quality difference and just want to play games, go for the Slim.
