Kaleniya Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 The price of 284 € smiling at me, instead of 396 € made me buy it. Else i would've waited a lot longer to get a PS4 in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JavaNext Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Mostly because my OG PS4 was breaking down... It kept ejecting discs and heating up. I sold it for 200€ and bought the Pro for 390€ with a couple of games which I then sold for 90€. Meaning that overall I paid 100€ for a 500GB upgrade and nice bump in framerates. Calculated.

Cryogenicide_X Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Well i bought mine because the PS4 Pro is an improvement over the original PS4 and because I have a 4K TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skadanton Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Black Friday deal, better VR experience and just to have a better machine for 4K tv in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundr0wn_ Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) The pros sure are better visuals (upscalling on all games), loads a little faster and runs better, and more harddrive for me since i still had the 500gb one. Altough i dont think it's worth the asking price if you already have a ps4. If you dont, you got the money and have a 4k tv then maybe. Cant talk about VR since i dont own that yet. I only got it because of a gamestop deal where i could bring in my regular (2 year old *cough*) ps4 with 2 games and get the pro for 100 bucks.

RadiantFlamberge Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Several things: * My first PS4 has a 500 GB HDD, that only goes so far. The 1 TB HDD helped make this worth it. * Boost Mode. * Enhancements over regular PS4 in newer games. (That said, performance is more important than graphics. 60 FPS means more to me than 4K resolution or FSAA.) * Got some rewards from Dell in return for buying an Alienware PC. Dell also sells consoles, so I used the rewards to buy the PS4 Pro for $13 out of pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netherfly Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 To be honest, my boyfriend did. Right after I explicitly told him we didn’t need the Pro because we already had a PS4. Aaaaand then he went ahead and bought it anyway ? Not that I’m complaining. I think I use it more than he does ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyjabria Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I got a PS4 Pro because I didn't have a PS4 yet and money was not an issue. Figured that Pro would offer more value in the long run - especially if its performance is better and load times shorter. Boost mode has delivered so far. Don't really care about graphics that much so I haven't gotten a 4K TV yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 This video sums it up pretty well. But nah, I guess it's because I already have a 4K TV and the Pro came down in price to the point where it seemed like a worthwhile upgrade on Black Friday this year (I only paid £120 after selling my old PS4!). I'm still not sure how I feel about this whole mid-generation upgrade thing, and I do think the Pro is pretty lame in comparison to the Xbox One X (only talking about the hardware of course), but the way I see it, the Pro is pretty much what the PS4 should have been at launch - the standard PS4 was underpowered even when it first came out in 2013. Also, I just don't like the feeling that I'm playing an inferior version of a game, which is why I've held off playing almost all new PS4 games since the Pro came out. Of course, PC versions have always existed, but they are irrelevant to me as a console gamer. I'm by no means a graphics whore, but if a game can look better, I want that. Better frame rates and faster loading is nice too. I've not been blown away with the Pro so far, but I haven't really played any games that properly take advantage of it, so that's probably not fair. I felt like my old PS4 was on its way out anyway, and I don't really see the point in buying a new PS4 in 2017 that's not a Pro, even if I didn't have a 4K TV. Future-proofing and all that. One thing is for sure, though. I won't be getting a PS5 anywhere near launch. I'll most likely be waiting for the "Pro" version of that console to come out first. I have too many games in my backlog as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
closertim Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Because of certain circumstances when I could finally buy a ps4 the pro was out ,so I thought it'd be rude not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chellesan Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 If my normal ps4 ever dies I'm getting a pro because it have a optical output for my sound cable to my surround set and the slim don't have that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tam3rlanetv Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 My decision was quite simple really, I just wanted boost mode for smoother games, I have a pc for 4k gaming if I wanted to, but it doesnt overly bother me, but frame rate does. So I simply got it for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoshii Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I had recently purchased a 4K-television and the temptation grew intolerable. Haven't regretted for once especially after they launched the boost-option for games like Bloodborne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorajet Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 This is easy. Pro for graphics, additional ports and because my launch PS4 is temperamental on certain discs. Did not get it for the VR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChewyTHFG Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I purchased my PS4 Pro just before Christmas why? There was a few reasons i was looking to get a bigger hard drive as it was really annoying me having to delete games just to put new games on the system, there was the fact i had recently upgraded my TV to a 4K (not out of choice my 2 year old daughter bless her thought it would be a good idea to copy daddy and give it a clean but instead of the standard solution i use she used anti bacterial spray and way too much of it and killed the screen). I also was sold when i saw the Star Wars Limited edition PS4 Pro being a big Star Wars fan i was finally tipped over the edge to purchase a pro.

Property_Damage Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 2.4 and 5ghz connections 1tb internal storage enhanced graphics with my 4k tv my launch ps4 was having disc drive issues where it would randomly eject my discs on its own, so naturally it was time to upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migsmeister Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Monster Hunter World. I wanted to play with my brother at home. Moreover, since I’m planning on moving this year I figured I get a Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGRevan Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 The new Monster Hunter World edition. I was always eager to upgrade, but never saw any reason. Next thing on the list... a 4K tele! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Shaneman Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I'm just one of those people who likes to own the best model of something if I can. Especially with consoles as they've usually made improvements to it. Moving this year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babsimabuse Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Didn´t like my loud first PS4 and someday bought the great and silent Slim at sale. Later traded the old fat PS4 in to get the Pro for little extra money with new guarantee. Moved account to try it out and now the Slim is the reserve though I liked her more than the loud Pro that i don´t really need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaigaSupaWingz Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 It was a cold day in the Great White North. Minus 15 degrees C and my roommate suddenly sent me a text saying that the Pro bundle with Uncharted TLL is on sale. I was hesitant but the system never goes on sale like this before and more less in Canada (Trust me deals like that does not come around easy). I bought a Switch earlier in the Year (AND Loved it since Launch no less) and wanting to cap off the Gametastic year with the PS4 Pro was probably the best decision my younger self ever made. Didn't end up breaking the bank as I imagined, I got a bunch of gift cards for christmas, and cashed in on the best deal of the year for me. Monologue and long story aside, needed a system that allows me to enjoy the best Console exclusives on the market and the biggest AAA games released, in addition to caughting up with old friends from the PS3 era. The PS4 Pro was a no brainer. I mean I love Nintendo, but the framerates on some AAA 3rd party games can be very bad at times. Need a system with more juice and the Graphics. Been playing ever since, this baby is gonna be with me for the long haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PooPooBlast Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 My story: I always buy consoles late because by then games would be cheap and the system itself would've probably had some newer or slightly better model released. I.e slim ps3 or the George Foreman grill 3 So I decided to wait till about 2015 to grab a ps4 for the holidays but then bam ps4 pro was announced. I waited till nov 2016 and bought it. 1 TB upgrade itself costs about ~$80-100 and the price difference between a regular ps4 and pro was $120 in my country. It was a no brainer to grab a pro especially that I'd receive some really nice boosts to games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
