PlayStation 4 Pro 1TB Console

tl;dr We definitely need to get the word out to people who are buying new Pros to use ROTTR (Rise of the Tomb Raider) as a benchmark to test if you got a bad Pro or not. I don't want to repeat what others have said about the system. It's awesome. If you are reading this, you probably already know if you want one or not. With "Boost Mode" (Firmware 4.5) incoming, it's almost a no-brainer for an avid gamer. What I do want to share is my experience to save as many headaches as possible. I originally purchased a used PS4 Pro on Warehouse Deals and saved myself $60. Yay! Until I started playing. I soon discovered why it was used - It would crash all the time on Pro-patched games. So, back it went. I still wanted one and decided to buy new this time to avoid anymore hassle. I didn't want to risk losing my 1-year warranty either, which I would soon need. Long story short, my next brand spanking new PS4 Pro started crashing as well. I was convinced it was software related and Sony just working the bugs out. Nope! After doing a lot of research, all the games that were crashing on me (Diablo 3 and ROTTR were the biggest culprits) were being played without hitch by most PS4 Pro owners. I was outside my return window so I had no choice but to send mine to Sony for repair. This was a hard decision as most games still ran just fine (including most PS4 Pro patched games - Skyrim SE, FFXV, AC Syndicate, Shadow of Mordor, Uncharted 4, etc), and I didn't want to replaced a perfectly working system with a refurbished one, but what choice was left? So many others were playing these games without crashing. Well, I got my warranty repair back. Credit to Sony, they sent me a brand new one! Couldn't be happier about that, but the important thing - No more crashing on ROTTR, Diablo 3, or anything else! The fan sounded much quieter and less erratic as well. Without a doubt, the crashing was definitely hardware related as many people had suggested in forums. It happens, I understand. What is surprising to me is how many people this is happening to in the forums. I think most people are okay, but I wonder how many people have defective Pros and haven't realized it yet. If I had to guess (and this is just pure speculation on my part) I would say the problem stems from a very large batch of bad PS4 Pro GPU's. Half of the GPU is always being used. The other half is completely dedicated to Pro-enhanced/patched games only to be used in tandem with the other half (which some games might not fully make use of). This explains why you can play plenty of 4k games without crashing. Whatever the problem, it's definitely hardware related - A patch isn't going to fix it. I know no one wants to hear that their brand new console is defective, but if you are experiencing the same, it's true. Early adopter problems I guess. The good news is you can test to see if yours is defective. Very simply, if you have Rise of the Tomb Raider, play it the second you get your Pro. If you experience crashes, congratulations you won the lottery (you should experience crashes within 15 minutes if it is). Take it back immediately and replace it. If you are outside of your return period, you can still warranty replace it with Sony. If you have to use Sony's warranty repair, I will add they are excellent! It was very hassle free, and they straight-up sent me a new one. For reference, below is my timeline for Playstation repair: 1/25/17: Requested Warranty Repair 1/30/17: Received Return Box and shipped 2/2/17: Delivered to Sony Repair in Laredo TX 2/8/17: Received an email stating my product was shipped 2/14/17: Received brand new PS4 Pro After this experience, I'm definitely buying the PS4 Pro insurance if it becomes available (be aware the regular Playstation Protection Plan currently doesn't cover the Pro). Good luck, I hope this helps!!

I owned two PS3's since launch and waited on the PS4 till now and while I debated the PS4 Slim vs. the Pro, I made up my mine to spend the extra money and get the Pro, call it future proofing or with hopes Sony and Developers working on Coming Soon Titles like Day's Gone, Death Stranding, The Last of Us Part 2 and Etc. will be visually and performance wise, better on the Pro, the trailers lead us to believe this will be the case, so time will tell? I'm only using a 24" 1080p PC Monitor at the moment, no 4K HDR-10, but I'm planning on getting a 4K TV in the next few months, since prices have dropped and there is some nice 4K HDR-10 TVs with great gaming capabiltiy, low input lag and etc, so it's only a matter of time till I make the purchase. For now, the Pro looks great in 1080p, though I'm not reaping the benefits of the eye candy fully. Initially on unpacking the Pro and setting it up, via HDMI I got no picture just audio, so I searched the reasons, appears that the console defaults to auto settings and seeing my PC Monitor was older, HDCP had to be dialed back to 1.4 to work, this took some time to figure out and without having another LCD TV that was more up to date, I would have been screwed in switching this over via doing the Safe Mode, basically you press and hold the power button on the console (when initially turned on) till you hear two beeps, around 7 seconds, I kept doing this on my PC monitor to no avail so I knew I had to try it on my other TV. So after plugging it to my TV (which I don't use for gaming) I did the Safe Mode start-up again, got the menu and changed Display size to "1080p" and HDCP to "1.4", shut it off, and plugged it back in my PC monitor and all worked well. The menus are totally different from the PS3, snappy and clean with a lot of new options. I was able to do a fairly quick set-up with my existing PSN Network ID. I'm also using WiFi, due to the room this is being used in has no ethernet ports and no means to make it work since I'm renting, also I tried Powerline adapters, no dice they didn't work. With the PS3 my WiFi with Wireless G was horrid, constant issues when playing MP, standalone was fine. I knew the updated PS4 Slim and Pro would also get 802.11 AC which I am now taking full advantage of and have great results on other devices, so this was a strong selling point, after setting up, the PS4 did the firmware update and downloaded a big file in no time. I only have one game so far, Battlefield 1 which I have not even dove into too much yet but so far the graphics and etc. look great, leaps in bounds above the PS3. Having pondered the original PS4 for some time, I like the new design and mechanical buttons, unit is super quiet vs the PS3 and the new controller is also very nice and feels like a spaceship compared to the PS3 Controller. Overall I'm happy with this purchase, though I read a lot of negatives on the Pro, some say "don't waste your money" "get the Slim" and/or "just buy a PC". I can see their points, having been into PC Gaming for sometime, it has it's benefits, but when it comes to playing PlayStation Exclusives, especially ones like The Last of Us on the PS3 which was a great game and one of my favorites, many who never give in will lose out on the experience of playing great games like that. I also hope the increased HP and Eye Candy will be even more enjoyable over the next 6 to 8 months or longer with new games and updates.

After my first PS4 Pro died and couldn't be used after trying countless methods to access its games, I decided to buy a used one. I had a large amount of games loaded on my old one plus a collection of game discs, so a replacement machine was definitely needed. The machine was shipped quickly and packaged to prevent movement or damages in transit. It arrived 10 days after being shipped and was in very good condition. I set up my account on it and was able to retrieve all my games except a few which PlayStation no longer carries. I had a quantity on an external hard drive but the others which were bought on the PS Store site had to be downloaded again. Since I have subscribed to unlimited downloads on my internet account this was no problem. I had kept a spreadsheet of all transactions so I was able to easily identify the missing games. Overall, I'm pleased with this purchase! The seller answered my questions in a timely manner and assured me about the condition. Even though I have a PS5, I still like playing a number of games on my PS4. I would recommend this seller to anyone who needs a PS4. The PS4 was sent in a Canada Post box and delivered to my door which I hadn't expected, but was pleasantly surprised.

Debo decir que fue una muy grata experiencia adquirir la consola un excelente servicio por parte de Amazon y total confiabilidad por parte del vendedor la consola llegó mucho antes de lo anticipado y en perfecto estado completamente sellada honestamente es una experiencia muy satisfactoria en todo sentido la consola funciona de maravilla, no hace ruido, no se sobre calienta y tampoco es la bola de mentiras que dicen los haters del ps4 pro, puedo entender que para un usuario que ya cuenta con una ps4 o una ps4 Slim no sea tan atractiva la idea de hacer el cambio a un Modelo pro aunque ciertamente hay mejorías palpables en cuanto a la rapidez e incluso gráficos en una pantalla a 1080 independientemente que la resolución 4K sea para ciertos juegos reescalados y no nativa, recordemos que por el momento ninguna consola del Mercado te logra los 4K nativos el único punto a debatir sería la incapacidad de la ps4 pro para leer 4K en blu ray aunque el streaming en 4k si es posible , por lo demás si se cuenta con la posibilidad económica y se quiere hacer el cambio de la ps4 base o de la Slim a la ps4 pro existen mejorías incluso en el audio por la salida para equipo surround obviamente para los más puristas en fin, cuestión de gustos muy respetables para cada quien. Lo que es un hecho es que si no cuentas con una consola de nueva generación como era mi caso es SEGURO que la ps4 pro es la mejor opción de aquí al futuro previsible en un par de años ya que obtendrás lo mejor de los dos modelos anteriores de ps4 y en pocas palabras adquirirás la consola más potente por mucho del Mercado y créeme que como usuario y orgulloso dueño de una telómeros digo no te decepcionará, palabra de Gamer!!!!

Très satisfaite du produit , très bien nettoyer et entretien très minutieux de la part du propriétaire précédent . Tout fonctionne super ! Merci BCP ! Livraison ultra rapide !

Después de casi 5 años de haber usado la primera generación de PS4, puedo confirmar que la versión Pro es muy superior en desempeño (tiempos de carga) y gráficos (4K si cuentas con una TV de ultima generación). Sin embargo, la consola es ligeramente más grande que la versión slim así como la primera generación. Recomiendo que sea usada con cualquier base vertical para permitir una mayor ventilación por tener un mayor consumo de energía. Mi único comentario negativo es que debería de venir con al menos 2GB de memoria considerando el elevado precio vs la versión slim.

Update: the new controller they sent me had somme battery problem.. i just bought a new one elsewhere.. Love my ps4 pro works great on my 2k tv seller sent me an other controller because the one i received did not work well thank you
