Amazon now has 20th as next lot of PS4 pro, oh well gives me time to find a decent 4K TV. I'm also considering the Samsung KS7000 but the Sony Bravia KD49XD7005 is just so much cheaper, and so far I'm not keeping a TV past two years. My 1080p panel I only got two years ago, my sweet spot for new TV's seems to be around £500 - £600 - anymore and I tend to hold back : - )

Yeah, I'm thinking I might just skip the 10-bit panel requirement and just get 4K in the house first. The games won't be going anywhere, I can always replay them in 5 years or so when 10-bit are £250 in Aldi.

HDR and wide colour is more impressive than the increased resolution IMO.

There are better deals around for PS4 pro's than Amazon. Argos were doing a PS4 pro + Horizon Zero Dawn for £349 last week.

That expired on 12 March. They've got alternatives like The Division for £10 more but nothing as good as the Horizon one.
I was just looking myself.. Its no cheaper then Amazon right now.

Just saying it's probably worth a wait. Sainsburys were doing the same deal as Argos as in store pickup only. Pretty sure it's still running. If not another will be along soon.

I wonder if my 2TB Samsung Spinpoint drive is packing in. Last two nights it's done a high-pitched chirp at a random time and today the system software crashed (which I've never seen before in three years). Games seem to run fine though. I guess I better get everything backed up on to my external drive.

Mine's been doing that for the last 12 months. It even does it while it's in standby.

think i remember the chirping is when the read/write heads are parking, i had some in my pc that done that

So it's normal then?

The strange thing is it never did it once in the 16 months that it was in the base PS4. It's been in the Pro for a week now and chirps once a day.

yeah, it's not a nice noise but it didn't happen often (2 or 3 times a day) and mine still functioned normally in my pc until the day i replaced them 7 years later (nothing wrong with them i just wanted bigger drives)
ic1male, have you tried taking out and putting back in the drive on the pro? might not be seated on the connections properly? might help, might not lol no harm in trying
or it could be down to the pro doing things faster than the normal ps4 and the heads are parking more often because of that?

I know it's a mad idea and it would never happen but I'd like a PS3 Pro. What a console/library that would be!

They have one, it's the PS4. Just need to port games over like Microsoft did.

They'd be better off getting PS3 games running on the PS4 (Pro).
