PlayStation 4 Pro in-bound

I would be all over this if it supports the full 4K UHD media spec and plays HDR10 and Dolby Vision HDR. That alone for me would be worth the upgrade and anything else is a bonus. 4K UHD players are around £500 so if the PS4K can play those and also offer small upgrades in graphics and CPU power then I'd be all over it.

Also 4K blu rays are £19.99 not £29.99 as Psycho Sonny says

"£24.99 Save: £5.00"

RRP is £29.99 ;)

sure you will get a discount on some but not others

But the components are still there using energy regardless, and you can quite often hear a very faint hum coming from the DS4 speaker even if a game isn't using that particular feature. There's a lot more going on inside the DS4, hence the additional power drain. The DS3 had four LEDs itself.

In any case, the issue isn't the lightbar but the fact that the battery just isn't up to the task.

The speaker and the 3.5mm jack and the lightbar were all added. All of which use power.

Their is an amp inside the ds4 powering the speaker and 3.5mm jack. It will be this AMP that is draining the additional power. There will also be a DAC which requires power (Digital to Anologue convertor) as you cannot send a digital signal to speakers or headphones it needs to be converted.

I've posted before about the DS4 being cheaply made and of a poor quality especially in terms of sound and bluetooth yet people on here seem to think it's amazing. I don't know how anyone thinks you can get a quality product which retails for around £30-£35 so probably costs less than £10 to make which includes all of those parts and they be of real quality.

read the thread.

all it is, is an update to the blu ray player and hdmi to make the ps4 4k blu ray compatible and have the ability to upscale to 4k if need be.

no point buying it unless you plan on buying a 4k tv and 4k blu rays.

4k blu rays for everybody's information have a £30 retail price. that's per movie so about the cost of a game for an hours worth of entertainment. total rip off IMO.

1080p is here to stay for at least 5-10 years.

"The current PS4 can output 4K photos and videos, but cannot support 4K resolutions for games. With this upgrade, it would. Besides resolution, developers would have an opportunity to push more effects and other graphical tweaks to make their games look better, thanks to the new GPU."

I just read that but didnt realise they just meant upscaling rather than native support, thats ok then lets hope that is made obvious to the general consumer!

Some will just see 4k and think its fully supported if they dont follow this stuff like we do
 
Its still all up in the air and open to interpretation, it might be the minimum they do so might be best not to rule out anything sensible. Guess E3 is when we find out...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Really? wow... my Grandmother has had my hand-me-down 37" 1080p Toshiba for more than 4 years! :)

Given how cheap 4k screens are, with the exception of IQ buffs, I don't see many people buying a 1080p screen anymore.

Even my laptop is 4K :)

Most people will keep their current HD TVs for quite a few years though, at least until there's a decent selection of stuff to actually watch in 4K.
 
That seems very unlikely, considering not even a year ago the price premium for 4K was significant over an equivalent HD model. It's only more recently that most manufacturers are slimming down their HD ranges and introducing cheaper 4K sets that you're not left with much choice than to go 4K one way or another. I've bought two TVs since September last year, both HD.

Cheap budget-brand HDTVs will continue to sell by the bucketload anyway.
 
just seems like a market trick to me, plaster 4k all over it and hope you can convince dumb people into trading in their ps4 and buying a new one. If you're looking to buy a new console sure get it but the otherwise it's pointless, who out there with a 4k tv is going to trade up so they can have their 720-1080 res games upscaled to 4k? will look just as bad as playing with the normal ps4 on a 4k screen

What !!

I gamed with my PS4 on a 4K screen and it looks fine as does the Xbox One. , so don't talk stupid.

If this gets released and is around the same price as the launch version it will help to move 4K along pretty well, Samsung's 4K spinner is £399 and Panasonic is £599

So if i could get a all in one for £400-450 it's a no brainer.

I said this in the last thread. Its a good move and one that i'd wholeheartedly welcome.

Yep, I agree. I'd much rather have the option of upgrading every few years, as long as you don't need to for at least 6-8 years.

It'll be cheaper for a lot of people as well, when the PS4/XboxOne gets phased out you can buy the PS4.5/XboxOne Ver.2 for cheap and have another 3 years before that gets phased out.

Or you can spend what you would have on the next gen of consoles for the latest version.
