100$ extra is probably worth it.

Go a step ahead and get the PS4 Pro

So I think there's finally enough exclusive games on Ps4 that I'm interested in that warrents me buying the console. My biggest question right now is which model do I buy? Should I go for the cheap slim model, or maybe I should get the more powerful and expensive Pro which has 4k abilities I can't take advantages of yet (key word yet).

Which one do I get?

You should probably start buying games on the pc ps4 store now.  There's sales on.  As someone said uncharted 4 half price.  Might aswell take advantage of the deals.

There's only a $50 difference of the Pro and Slim for the 1TB models.
Though the Slim comes with Uncharted 4, but games go on sale eventually. In fact, U4 is 50% off on PSN right now.

I would get the Pro for sure if I didn't already have a PS4 though. I'm not interested in 4K, but I am interested in the performance enhancements it brings to games in 1080p.

I've actually asked this question several weeks ago. Most people on my thread were suggesting I get a PS4 Pro over the Slim. It's probably a good idea, but that depends on how much you're willing to spend on a PS4.

If you don't want to pay $400 for the Pro, I recommend getting the Slim as it includes a game (Uncharted 4). If you don't care about the price, I recommend going for Pro. Keep in mind that it doesn't include a game like the Slim.

Btw, I was going to mention this to you, but Uncharted 4 is on sale now on PSN. 50% off.

Not sure if it's on the US PSN as well.

You mention it twice in fact d: made me chuckle.

For new comers PS4 Pro is pretty much the only option, unless you are absolutly strapped for cash. Even then I would say hold off until you can afford a Pro. You will get a better experience, and have a device that will offer much more flexability in the future should you want PSVR or a 4K HDR TV.



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.

I just checked. Unfortunately, US PSN does not have that sale.

If you are going to take advantage of a 4k tv in the future then buy the ps4 pro, otherwise the ps4 slim with a game should be enough.



Pinkie_pie on 08 October 2016

Which ever you get just make sure to get ratchet and clank with it.

Pro it's a no-brainer. If I didn't already have a PS4 I'd be lining up for a pro this holiday.
