So... I got a bit annoyed about the wait for the 2080 benchmarks so I bought a PS4 Pro and a PS VR.
That 350+250 + a few games.
And I'm returning the Ps4 Pro [keeping my OG PS4] and keeping the VR reluctantly.
I don't know why but in my mind I thought that all PS4 games are cheap now... but they're not. Games that have been knocking about for 6 months are still £30-£40. I was quite shocked.
The PSVR for £250 with controllers + 2 games is.. a good deal. But a rift with 7 games and MUCH better controllers and MUCH better tracking is £399 [and I can claim back some VAT on that via business which is a harder sell for anything with the words playstation in it].
Gaming library wise, I do have a PS4 subscription but the PS Store had basically nothing good for value on offer. The second hand market for games gives you 5-8£ off of the amazon store prices....
Unlike PC gaming, I no longer have 200 steam games to fall back on and up-res whenever needed.
And finally the most important thing, the pro didn't feel pro at all. It felt like a compromise in visual quality and frame rate. I don't mind compromising one or the other but it seemed to struggle to lock 60 on much, and at the same time it struggled to hit 4k.
Has anyone had a similar experience? I think I'm returning my pro, gonna stick with the OG PS4...
