Have you noticed how Sony’s actually started talking about the PlayStation 4 Pro like it’s not embarrassed about it anymore? Last year’s reveal event was weird, where the platform holder almost played down the very real advantages of the platform – and it hasn’t really said a whole lot about it in the months since.
But finally it feels like the platform holder’s ready to give the supercharged system a bit of a push. It’ll always play second fiddle to the much cheaper PS4 Slim, of course – that goes without saying. But for the enthusiasts who care about boosted visuals and higher performance, it’s nice to see the Japanese giant finally starting to talk up its upgraded console.

@WillMerfi Even budget aside, the two don't exactly play that nicely together since the breakout box can't push 4k HDR.... horrible oversight on an otherwise match made in heaven.
It's just not enough of a boost for me to want to go spend £350 on it when my PS4 Normal runs just fine.
"Last year’s reveal event was weird, where the platform holder almost played down the very real advantages of the platform"
Not surprised. Remember all the absolute crying? People threatening to give up console gaming? How those on standard PS4s were being "left behind". I think Sony did what they had to do to minimise the sh*t storm.
Anyway, everyone buy a Pro, they rock.
Come on man you know better -Tasuki-
That was a pretty nice showcase of exclusives.
Nah for something that plays the same games as an original playstation 4 where the brightness looks to be turned up I am not convinced Sony.
Sorry but no.
And for the frame rate fan boys I just do not have that problem.
I will wait for Playstation 5 apparently it will be proper 4k.
@Number09 :')
Did they drop the price $50 to $349 and sell gold and silver versions during E3?
If not, then they aren't ready.
@kyleforrester87 Yup, at that time sony doesn't want 50M old ps4 users angry, it's more important for sony they doesn't anger their old ps4 users compared to selling ps4 pro back then. Now with new competitor (xb1x) they're ready to sell the pro.
@rjejr Ps4 pro still in high demand, they won't lower the price until its sales is declining.
I bought mine day one and love it!
@WillMerfi Dont they have a trade option for the PS4 Pro where you live?here its €250 if you trade in a OG PS4
@WillMerfi you made a good decision. The pro is nice but its more complimentary to the ps4. Psvr on the other hand i think is fun most importantly and innovative
@Flaming_Kaiser Where can I do that??
No thank you, i'm happy with my amateur ps4.
Without owning a 4k tv, what's the point of having a pro?
Still havent bought a Pro, yet. Are Samsung's new line of 4K TVs any good? I think theyre called the MU series if I am not mistaken.
Stop whining
Sony is not embarrassed of the pro.where did you get that lie.
I'll buy one if they make it white, or else it won't go with the rest of my entertainment setup. No, I'm not going to muck about with vinyl decal skins.
I hear you, @Useyourname. The color of the console is the absolute most important reason for purchasing one or not.
Hell, I'm still waiting for Nintendo to release a red NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U and Switch before I hop, jump and skip in the land of the mushroom kingdom.
And Microsoft really needs to get on board with a green Xbox so I can finally be the master chief that I know I can be.
As far as Sony is concerned, well, it needs to be grey to match my original PS1... or no buy! Because as everyone knows, the plastic shell is the absolute deciding factor of any console purchase decision.
@get2sammyb PlayStation re-uploaded the video for everyone.

@FuzzyYellowBalls Feel better now?
@get2sammyb What do you think the chances are Sony will go for the jugular and drop the price of PS4 Pro the same time MS release XboneX?
@FuzzyYellowBalls haha your dreams have been (partly) answered!

lol
@Useyourname, No, not really. Damn allergies. Ugh. But thanks for asking!
@Dodoo, A red Gamecube?! That looks stellar. Much better looking than my dark grey/black-ish model... which incidentally, hasn't seen the light of day in over a decade as it rests peacefully in its original box inside another storage box down in the basement.
Why do I keep such things? Maybe it's finally time to clean house and part ways from machines of the past.
@FuzzyYellowBalls Hah yeah I had the same realisation after collecting loads of old rare Nintendo stuff. I've sold it off over the last few years (except my mint Mario 64, couldn't part with that) and have to say I don't regret it. In fact if anything it feels nicer to have less things lying around!
Pros 4 da Bros. Except Mario and Luigi.
@themcnoisy Yup, never seen an unhappy Pro owner on here, funnily enough.
I'll buy a PS4 Pro only if Playstation gives away a 4K television for free if you buy it.
The video has gone private.
@Number09
Exactly. I'll wait for the PS5. I'm happy with my standard PS4
I feel like they downplayed the 4Pro during E3, to the point where this video isnt working for me
I was in the market for one, but changed my mind and would rather replace my current PS4 with a 4Slim when the time comes (if ever). Upgrading the storage is more important right now.
