As much as I want VR, I'm going to wait until they can produce more than just interactive gimmicks disguised as games... we all remember the bill of goods MS sold us on the Kinect...

Farpoint with the aim controller on the PS store says it will be released 12/31. Once the aim controller is out I think the FPS games will take off.


Just played the demo of Battlezone but will be an easy buy as good as it looks and plays.

Alot of the stuff I have tried in VR actually takes my stomach like im actually on it. Something playing it on a tv has never done so it does work.

The VRideo app is pretty cool as a PS4 app. Watching a boxing match or MMA fight it makes you feel like you are standing in the corner watching it. This is more of a 360° view as opposed to VR but still enjoyable.

Also vr content on this app as well.

I think VR will be a success but I don't necessarily think that success will come strictly from gaming. The potential applications with VR are incredible.

* Imagine being able to virtually sit in a stadium on the 50 yard line of the Super Bowl or sit behind home plate of the World Series? How about ringside at a heavy weight championship fight?

* Imagine when we finally do go to Mars, being able to virtually see everything those astronauts see when they touch down on the planet. Same with deep sea exploration. Imagine a virtual tour of the Titanic!

* What about medical students being able to virtually sit in on actual surgeries being performed?

* What about college students being able to virtually sit in on a lecture from a professor in a completely different location?

* How about being able to take virtual tours to places that some people may otherwise never get to go to?

* What about the film industry? Imagine movies where you're not staring at a flat screen, but rather you are IN the scenes with the actors?

* And last but not least, the porn industry! :p

This is a great post. Can't agree more.

Im sure it will be gorgeous. The 4k games need to catch up.

As for PS pro vs PS4 running the VR headset, everything I read says buying a brand new pro at $400 doesn't justify what little graphics improvement it gives you when already owning a PS4.

That's the impression I got from everything I've read. I don't even have a 4K TV so I see no justification in buying one. My next console will be the Nintendo Switch.

I had a release day PS4 and not sure how much more time I have with it lol. I have seen vanilla PS4's going on craigslist for 225 or so. If I can at least get 180 for mine, I will be happy. Mainly bought it now because of the new 4K set I got and hopefully more games will be updated. The Mass Effect demo running in HDR was what did it for me.

I have a 4K tv but I still haven't convinced myself to upgrade to the pro.

Picked up a Pro over the weekend. I used a 200.00 Best Buy gift card that I had from renewing my wife's phone, plus they gave me 120.00 trade in on my old PS4. So all in all I only had to spend 75.00 out of pocket for it. Here's my mini review on it...

Alright let’s get this out of the way first. The PS4 Pro is still very much a PS4. Sony did not lie in saying this is a mid-gen refresh, not a whole new generation console. Nothing has changed in terms of the way you interact with it, the store, the UI, nothing. It all operates exactly the same way the PS4 operates. Which is absolutely fine with me because I happen to love the PS4’s user interface. I love the simple, elegant design of the XMB.

Now let’s get down to the nitty gritty. How do the games look and run? In a word? Stunning! Even on my 1080p TV I can still see the improvements. The games that are patched have noticeable improvements in textures, lighting, shadow detail, anti-aliasing, and framerate. A few particular examples that really blew me away were Battlefield 1, Ratchet and Clank, Titanfall 2, Uncharted 4, and Rise of the Tomb Raider. Aliasing? GONE! Shimmer? Gone! Frame stutters? Gone! Everything has such a clean, sharp look to it now. It really is impressive, even on an “old” 1080p plasma display. I could only imagine what 4K/HDR would look like. However for what I have now, I’m still impressed. I’m so excited to play Horizon on this bad boy!

Aside from the graphic improvement, the Pro handles WiFi much better than the standard PS4, resulting in much faster download speeds. Also it contains an extra USB port in the back of the system which will be great when I hook up an external hard drive. Another cool feature they added with the pro was, if you connect your controller directly to the console via USB, it essentially eliminates controller lag. For serious first person shooter or fight game players, this really makes a difference.

Overall I’m happy with my purchase! As a current PS4 owner with only a 1080p TV, would I have paid full price for it? No but for just 75.00 out of pocket I’m more than satisfied!

What did you have to turn in with it? The power cable? The old controller? Any boxes or manuals?

Also I'm assuming it has a 1TB hard drive?

And how did you keep/transfer your old saves before turning it in? USB drive? Or did you just upload them to cloud?

I've heard good things about the PS4 Pro and I'm looking to get one.

Use LAN cable to transfer your data to your profile from the old ps4. It's faster

Mine was an original 500gb launch system. No box or manuals are required. You need the console, 1 controller, 1 hdmi cable, 1 power cord, and 1 USB micro cable.

If you're a Plus subscriber all your saves should be on the cloud. I just re downloaded all my saves from PSN after I reinstalled my games.
