4K30 The Last of Us is amazing. The unlocked modes in this and Last Light still look amazing though.You don't sacrifice much for the performance. I think I'll stick to 30fps for photo mode for awhile though while I'm playing around

Just called up my local GAME and they only have 4 left in stock, too much of a risk to wipe my current PS4 and then get into town to find out they've sold out.
Guess I'll have to wait until they get more stock
Explain your situation?
Could well be. Now real harm done though and it'll al be in the past and forgotten about a few days from now.
It is something that I've mentioned on here maybe two or three times somewhere over the past week or so but I imagine you won't be alone in having to wait like this. I have a 2TB drive in the old PS4 and deleted most of the contents to reduce the time I'd have to wait based on estimated transfer times that people had had while transferring data to the Slim version of the console and decided that I'm happy to wait a couple of hours or so and just download the rest.
I won't feel safe until it's all cone though, just incase there's a surprise power cut or something. It would be annoying but as long as no damage was done to the consoles, it wouldn't really matter.

Just walked in to walmart on my way to work and picked one up. Went to the back and found two employees (kids who looked like might be gamers actually) and neither one even knew what the Pro was. They pointed me to the Uncharted PS4 bundle as the "new one" and then the other said no, it's the new slim PS4 that I want. I had to explain to them what the Pro was and then they went in the back and after a couple minutes a different employee came out with a box of Pros that wasn't even opened yet, opened it up and gave me one.
So, anecdotal but if you want one it looks like will be pretty easy to pick one up without a preorder. I wasn't even sure I wanted one (no 4k tv), but I do have psvr so I figured if I could easily find one I'd go ahead and get it. Was nice to just walk in and out and get one in less than 10 minutes without hassle on launch day.

Looks like Target is selling the pro for 360 (340 with Redcard) with the cartwheel app.
Yeah, I'm trading in my original PS4 to get the Pro for half price.
They told me it's first come first served so they couldn't save me one unfortunately.

I'll be getting one of these consoles soon, I can't wait!
Definitely picking up Bloodborne and Infamous Second Son with First Light, alongside Final Fantasy XV.

It might just me going crazy, but to me the graphics seem considerably worse now (still playing version 1.01). I guess it's impossible, but the backgrond blur (I forget the technical term) seems to be not working correctly or something. I was playing the game on my old PS4 yesterday and I never noticed it, but as soon as I fired up the PS4 Pro after the transfer was done I instantly noticed the downgrade. But don't take my word for it, I have no proof.
Nope.
Can't speak for FFXIV, however World of Final Fantasy is still sat with update 1.01 for me so no upgrade. Checked for update just a few moments ago and not a jot.

👌🏼video, just challenging to play back smoothly. I'll try it on my TV direct from USB later.We've got a few 4k footage up and available in HQ for those who want to see it. Also some 1080p on ps4 pro stuff
Rise of the Tomb Raider: http://www.gamersyde.com/news_rottr_with_much_less_aliasing-18536_en.html
So my tests so far as 1080p owner.
Ratchet and Clank : Gorgeous Super clean, feels like playing "bullshots". Wish they would have tweaked the face of Ratchet a little though.
Infamous : hideous forced ingame "HDR" that ruins everything and makes it hard to see at night, "better framerate" mode is a joy though.
Uncharted 4 : Underwhelming (still shitty shadows, really...?) but pretty clean IQ.
Bound : Gorgeous
Loading times are improved for several games compared to ps4.

what is sure is that even local network tranfer are really bad on thoses hardware
i have ~400go to transfer from my og ps4 to the pro and it's not finished (launched 1hours 3/4 ago )
Not a local configuration problem when i can go up to 80Mo/sec when i dl from my nas to my pc (and it's probably because my in-wall network cables are sadly cat5e. Anyway, the link between pro and og ps4 don't use them)

As soon as you sign in with the brand new one, it will prompt you if you want to migrate to this machine. And if you say yes, it will walk you through step by step.

just downloading my saves on to the pro now.
gee whiz, thanks for the 1gb of saves bioshock.
oooohand of course now i realise you can't download saves unless the game is already installed on the system. fuck that's a lot of messages i have to work through.

Native 4K photo mode. It loses quite a bit without HDR though.
Edit: haha wow looking at it in the thread on my low res laptop and then turning over to see it on the TV there's such a difference. You really can't show it off properly without being in person

Dumb question/request, but would anyone be kind enough to Amazon link the right 2tb firecuda I keep seeing mentioned? Wanna pick that up!

Transfer almost complete, the KS8000 should arrive any moment now.
I think I'm going to check out Ratchet and Clank first, haven't played the original.

What the hell Target? Went to sleep last night with no stock available for pick up and I wake up to all stores only have a ship to store pick up option. Doing a quick stock check shows stores have it in stock but not many. Looks like most stores only got 2 to 4 units. I wonder why Target won't just allow me to do an in store pick up? Is it because stores aren't open up here yet?

Any help?
Edit: I guess HDMI UHD colour needs to be on too. On my LG it was called HDMI Deep Colour and I had to manually enable it for each port
Edit: The Firewatch theme still looks amazing on the Pro thankfully by the way. Still the best theme on the system

Going to need some of those 1080p set impressions! The better half claimed the 4K set for the bedroom so I'm stuck on the 1080p set for my gaming purposes.

Last I checked Amazon doesn't have the 2 TB firecuda 2.5" drive only the 1 tb. It's sold old elsewhere at the moment.
Look.
No HDR, gorgeous.
Infamous isn't even TRYING, it flat out looks like dog shit :/ . BUT running close to 60 FPS is awesome so I forgive it.
I'll make screens later.

Yeah there's no substitute for seeing it in person, I agree.
Spent some time with Rez Area X, Until Dawn Rush of Blood and Eagle Flight last night
Area X is amazingly crisp, the image is so much better and everything looks so much clearer
Until Dawn looks quite a bit higher res at distance as well, you can make out the little spiders on the ground way better, and the pixel shimmer on the guys face and body is almost completely eliminated. Looks amazing.
Eagle Flight was fantastic but I didn't play it before Pro so I can't offer thoughts on the upgrade. Game is incredibly clean though.
Pro was made for VR, without a doubt

I've just attempted to fit a 2000mA battery into my new DS4 and unless I'm going crazy, the connector is smaller so my DS4 battery doesn't fit. Bugger.
