Any chance I can just swap hard drives? Or do they have diferent operating systems? Would just be easyer to swap and update.

No, that would be too easy
We've been asked if you can simply rip out your old HDD and implant it into the Pro - this doesn't work as all drives are encrypted, and each individual PS4 has its own encryption key.
I tried with a ylod ps3 before, installing the hdd in a new one, doesn't work. Can't read the drive either on PC.

Its gona suck to transfer over one terra of data twice.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

Why are you guys so obsessed with this? Just play games and have fun.

I find comments like this ridiculous. Just flat out ridiculous. Let's look at something.

PS4 $300 (1.8TF 1080p gaming)

PS4 1TB $350 (1.8TF 1080p gaming)

XB1s 2TB $399 (1.2TF 1080p gaming+HDR)

PS4pro 1TB $399 (4.2TF 4k gaming + HDR + 1080p supersampling)

That's $50 more than a 1TB PS4 and for the same price a lot more value than a $399 XB1s.

Yet people shouldn't talk about it? We can talk about it and we will still have fun when we play games on it. 

You are missing +HDR from the top 2 too.  Every PS4 has HDR now, and all the pro patches seem to being having a positive effect of getting HDR updates for people who don't have a Pro.

Games are looking good! But I've decided to hold off on buying a Pro until I get the 4K HDR TV. It just seems more worth it if you have the TV.

This is the very last time I'm ever going to do a thread like this. It's a complete waste of time and I'm getting sick and tired of people asking for me to do it and mods getting involved. I've been watching this thread and adding vids over time and the last two just went unnoticed. So, with that in mind I decided to start another thread for Watch Dogs, and low and behold someone had started a thread for it already. What is the point in me being told to keep everything in one thread when (a) it goes unnoticed and (b) someone else makes a separate thread anyway?

I'm not interested in debating this because there's nothing to debate. It's there to seen quite clearly and it has been for a very long time. The most annoying aspect of this to me is the fact I came from a site that had ONE thread pertaining to ONE topic, be it UC4, PS4, etc. and when I first came here I tried to do the same but noticed people just posting new threads for everything. I still persevered in the hope people would realise it was the sensible thing to do but eventually I just did the same as everyone else ... and THEN I get asked to make one thread for everything. Talk about 'insulting'.

I've seen dozens and dozens of articles on the XB1 and only seen about 10% of them posted here, so instead of complaining about the amount of threads I 'support' this forum with, try posting news about YOUR console.

I personally hate those super threads. Everything gets lost in them. As for this thread, I used it for info until I got my Pro. I don't really need it anymore but I do appreciate your work on this one. Oh well.

Hate the super threads when it comes to pack every bit of news about X into 1 thread, you can't really handle a site like that so micromanaged, how is someone meant to know if there is a particular thread for certain consoles or twitter people on here before posting a story if they come in from another site, I love(d) VGchartz hot topics to get my news from all over the internet on gaming, now if those hot topics are going to be

-Trump is the President

-does Michael Moore wants breasts

-Can I fit a whole orange in my mouth?

-1 Video game news thread filled with everything game related

-Overwatch Mafia thread (literally no idea what those are)

-China wants to stop selling iphones over Trump

-Microsofts Clouds are powered by Wind (I'm fucking serious)

-Help guys, I can't get the orange out

-etc. etc.

 

Compacting the actual gaming news into these "super" threads but allowing the spraying of any old shit threads all down the hot topics means that actual news relating to games currently makes up 3 out of the 16 threads on the front page when you factor out the "super" threads. Really though, especially when it comes to looking at this site during a break at work on my phone, those super threads are impossible to navigate in comparison to just the news in segments relating to games.
