The Big Question: The PS4 Pro

This time tomorrow, people will be picking up or trading in their existing consoles for a PS4 Pro.

Question is: will that be you, either now or later this year?

One of the aspects of the original PS4 that is making the PS4 Pro an increasingly attractive acquisition is just how bloody loud it is. Whenever a disc is spinning up and the console is firing on all cylinders, the sound is absurd.

It’s also starting to become clearer what kind of benefits the PS4 Pro will have for those not with 4K displays. It’s looking like a case of either 1080p with supersampling, or 1080p at 60fps. That won’t be the case for every game, but having more options will always, always trump having less.

I think people would feel a little better if that sort of thing was codified, though. If there was some kind of guarantee that people knew they would always get X or Y if they didn’t have a 4K screen, they’d probably feel more secure in upgrading. But that’s down on the developers and how they want to use the PS4 Pro’s beefier hardware.

So where do you stand? PS4 Pro or No?
