If I ever find myself in a conversation with a Sony engineer
The first thing I'm going to ask about is the PS4 Pro's lack of a 4K UHD Blu-ray player. I've tried to avoid the direct comparison to the Xbox One S throughout the review
But it completely bog
Sound could be more dynamic
No 4K Blu-ray player
Streaming services need HDR updates
Most games will not achieve full native 4K rendering
No 4K Bluray player
Lacklustre design
Variable support from current titles
No 4K Blu
Ray player
Pro Mode support isn't universal
A beast in looks and size
No 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray playback
Only a 1TB HDD which will fill rapidly
Out of the gate

Most games that support Pro enhancements don't offer a drastic difference in quality when comparing standard and Pro games side-by-side. Specific information on game improv

Abstract: With the arrival of the current generation of virtual reality, much of the battle for hardware supremacy has focused on one seemingly esoteric factor: the trade-off between image resolution and frame-rate.It may seem like a curiously technical point on wh...
Both the new PS4 and the PS4 Pro offer visual advantages over the angular launch PS4, although that's where the similarities end. Sony's PS4 Pro looks to offer an enhanced gaming experience with higher framerates, increased resolution and higher quality t...

Yes, if you don't own a PlayStation 4.Though the regular PS4 is less expensive, and less complicated, it's probably not wise to buy it now. Yes, it's cheaper. Yes, it plays the same games. But you'll be itching for the upgrade soon.If you already own a PS...

Caveats aside, there is absolutely no doubt that the PlayStation 4 Pro is the best games console we've ever seen. Its graphical nous is unparalleled in the home machine market – only PC gamers can boast better – and developers are seemingly more than happ...
It's also worth noting that, while the PS4 Pro also supports HDR for richer colours and improved contrast, it only supports the HDR10 specification rather than Dolby Vision, so some 4K HDR TVs, such as the Dolby Vision-compatible models made by LG, won't...
