Topic: PS4pro | OT

Agreed. I think 2017 is when the Pro will start to shine. I think games like Mass Effect and Horizon Zero Dawn are going to take full advantage of what the Pro has to offer.

How does data transfer from the regular PS4 to the Pro work if you have multiple PSN accounts?

It asks you which accounts you want to transfer over. You can transfer them all or just the ones you want.

Great news on the Pro front here but only available until Thursday @get2sammyb you may want to know this.

At GAME today I asked about the trade in of my old PS4 and asked about backing up my hdd. You can take the pro - copy your data over at home - then return your old ps4 with 5 games the day after for £175 reimbursement. Downside is you need £350 upfront - upside is you get to swap your stuff over ethernet. How good is that?

Bad news personally, my wife's got me the new pad with lower latency and hdd for my ps4 for Xmas so I've promised not to buy a pro just yet. I was a bit bummed out but she told me in Game when I posed the question.

@Splat: Good to know its that simple, thanks. Thought the process would require you to sign into each different account to transfer the data.

Anyone have issues entering rest mode since getting their pro? 3 times now after extended gaming sessions my Pro has beeped three times trying to enter rest mode and then was non responsive (had to hold the power to force it off). I've tried reinstalling the 4.05 firmware, and just now rebuilt the database (don't know yet if that helped).

I did put in my old 2TB hdd from my original PS4, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Sad Panda . I did a full reformat of the drive (safe mode->initialize w/ reinstall system software) and still get the problem, but it only happens after I've been playing a while (so far, that's been DOOM). Playing for 5 minutes doesn't do it. Grrr.

Brought it back to the store, replaced for a new one.... hopefully this one's not a lemon

my final review.. this is a worldwide scam to sell 4k tvs... they upscaled games instead of focus on 60fps , the current generation is weak since the start , and still is with ps4 pro , since im a playstation fan i will wait for patchs to prove me wrong

@ranjas: this is a worldwide scam to sell 4k tvs.

Maybe, but 4k TVs will be THE gaming format over the next 5 years. Of course they want to sell TVs, the companies sell you some solidified oil, silicone and heated sand with negligible moving parts. Its obviously a total rip to begin with but the prices will drop and the tech will become more popular - $1000 for the pro plus a future proof hdr 4k tv isn't a bad deal, and that's available right now.

I'm a miser when it comes to new stuff, but fortunately the difference with 1080p vs 4k HDR is night and day.

@ranjas: Lol scam. Okay.

At last! My 2TB HDD finally arrived today and have swapped over, transferred all my PS4 content via LAN and now installing CoD:IW/MWr. Installed Titanfall 2 but forgot to back up my game saves that were on the Pro so lost all the Campaign progress. Is there anyway I can retrieve it - like buying a USB and transferring that way? Anyone know?

@BAMozzy: you could swap the HDD back if you didn't format it, back up the save and swap back?

@Mega-Gazz: Whilst that is still an option, I don't know if I can be bothered to go though the whole procedure of swapping HDD's, backing it up the the cloud, and then swapping them back again - especially not if I can transfer it easily from a caddy/usb

You can upload that one save to the cloud or a USB stick instead of the whole machine.

@Mega-Gazz: All I need to do is transfer my game save so if I can access that via the old HDD in a caddy, that would be a lot easier. Might be worth trying that first. If not I may have to swap HDD's...

Okay, this is messed up.... Returned my previous system, brand new PS4 Pro installed, set up, and ran into same problem - occurs after playing DOOM for like 1.5 hours, then trying to shut down the system. I get the 3 beeps and it doesn't respond to being turned back on.

does anyone else have DOOM and a ps4 pro? Before I return a second system I'd like to know if someone else can reproduce the problem.

Edit: one other reference here if you look at ROCKINGRICK's reply, though the other replies may be different.

@Mega-Gazz: Is the problem only happening when you set it to rest mode?

I have only tried rest mode, not power off, but yes. While on, there are no symptoms, it is only when setting it to rest mode after playing for 1.5 hours or so. I've only tried DOOM specifically so far. Since I have to play for a while to reproduce the issue, I can only run one test per day and so I haven't had enough time to run all the permutations, but I've reproduced it at least 6 times thus far.

@Mega-Gazz: Sounds to me like it might be something with the software on Sony's part if you have had two systems doing it as well as others reporting it. There was a bug with WWE 2K17 where putting the game in rest mode would delete all your data yet when you turned the system off complete nothing went wrong. 2K eventually did a patch to fix the problem.

So for the time being you just might have to power it down completely until Sony patches it, at least that's what I would do and the only thing I can think of at this point.
