PlayStation 4 Pro in-bound

Anyone know, can I backup my original PS4 to external HD including all game installs and updates as well as games saves as I have a limited 50GB 4gee home broadband service which is the maximum EE offer and landline broadband due to being so rural was so slow I ditched it. I want to avoid having to re-download everything to the PS4 Pro. Apparently even ethernet to router to ethernet will take about 9 hours for 350GB transfer from original to pro. Obviously since I'm trading in the original for pro, I won't have the luxury of having both consoles at home to do the transfer and the Game store won't do it, as I did ask them. Of course I also have to format the original before trading it in to remove all my personal info from it. Does a backup also save any browser bookmarks?

Cheers

I backed mine up to an external HDD last night. You have to format the external drive to FAT32 for the PS4 to recognise it though, most modern external drives will be NTFS formatted. It took about 1hr 30mins to backup 155GB of game data (but I think my HDD is USB2, USB3 should be a lot quicker). Then resetting the console to the factory settings took another hour (god knows why).

It really isnt. I backed up 1.2TB to a USB3 drive and it took 9 hours.

Is it easy to carry boxed? I've got to cart my back to Game tonight to get a refund because I bought it cheaper elsewhere, but their stupid website wouldn't let me cancel it online 3 days ago :rolleyes:

Yes its not that heavy... lol..

Tbh I'm not seeing a great difference from the PS4 upscaled by my TV and the Pro. Uncharted 4 looks the same to me... Not seeing a HDR option on Dishonored 2 ?

It's early days though....

You are definitely running Uncharted 4 in HDR mode? Did it pop up and ask you to enable it? Maybe try the beach level as they did in the demo.

Yes it popped up and asked and TV is in HDR mode there is also an option within the settings to disable/Enable. There is nothing in the Dishonored 2 settings other than brightness ?

Just transferring data from old(:o) PS4. I've unticked most of the big game installs, easier to install those from disc later but it's handy for small games like GTA collection and save games etc.
