Cheers! Fixed it via a complicated jig of settings and removing/reattaching hdmi cables

Yeah, I was able to rent it on launch day. Awesome game.
Not too bad, going to take about ~80 minutes to transfer just over 300GB.

That's great! Glad it's figured out. I'll steal my edit from above as well:
Edit: The Firewatch theme still looks amazing on the Pro thankfully by the way. Still the best theme on the system

Here's an unprofessional noise test with Titanfall 2 on the PS4 Pro:

I had to mute my TV for the recording. And I must say, the difference between the OG and Pro model is nothing short of night and day, in my experience.

I believe you need both PS4s connected via WIFI, and then an ethernet cord to go from one PS4 to the other.

- have the 2 consoles on same network with internet access
- og ps4 launched and log in on an account
- lauchn ps4 pro and add your psn account on it and follow instructions.
Have my Firecuda ready to go, do I need to format it before replacing the drive in the Pro? exFat or FAT32 if so? I plan on putting in the new 2tb drive before even turning on the system initially with the included 1tb. I want to do a straight 2tb->2tb transfer between my PS4's.
Also, do I need to sign into PSN on the new console before doing an ethernet transfer? Like during the first boot initialization? Wouldn't that sign me out of the OG PS4 and deactivate that console before I even start the process? Would that be problematic?
Still just completely unsure on how this all is supposed to go.

So annoying, enabling UHD on HDMI on my KS8000 will drop HDCP to 1.4 and not detect HDR.
Mine did this till I just removed PSVR from the hook up completely.
Got my Pro today!
Installed the following:
Uncharted 4
The Last Of Us Remastered
World Of Final Fantasy
Disgaea 5
Street Fighter V
Gravity Rush
Bloodborne
Really looking forward to The Last Guardian.
Impressions of the console coming from X1/X1S - Controller is sturdy, but still prefer X1 (Triggers/Ergonmics), but def not as cheaply made as posts I have read over the years, seem to make it. Feels same build quality as the new X1S controller.
I like that the OS is two menus away to what you want, MS can take some of those, and implement into their OS. When I highlight a game, it very quickly loads up the store options for said game, which I like a lot.
Hate the default avatar pics, not as good as the gamer pics on X1

Stock drive? That sounds a lot better than mine.

Just grabbed BF1 for $35 at Target. Walking into BB now to pick up my Pro.

exFAT is easiest but FAT32 is fine, the PS4 reformats it anyway so I think it can be anything. Put the new 2TB in the Pro and then put the full update file on a USB under PS4>UPDATE and let it initialise. Then sign in on both consoles and start the transfer. You could deactivate the OG PS4 at any time it shouldn't matter.

Yeah I'm using the stock drive. I can't be bothered to uprade.
I'm not sure why yours is louder, but the Pro is almost as quite as the OG Xbox One.
No need to format the drive - I performed the swap myself earlier. As for signing in, i signed into my PSN account on my Pro, only then did I remember to plug in the Ethernet lead and turn on my OG PS4, worked fine - really straight forward thankfully !

So last time i get a console at launch from amazon. Delayed till the 14th. Cancelling and going to BB
Oh so before I do any transfering or even connecting the two consoles, I need to pull the newest firmware on a USB and make sure my new 2tb is ready to go and the console is fully updated?
Once that is all good and I am signed into PSN on the Pro with an empty 2tb, then I can connect the two systems and start the long-ass transfer? (I will be transferring 1.6tb(!) as most of my installed games are Pro-enabled content or games I am currently playing)

Meh, I don't like the lightbar on the front of the console.
Thanks for posting! Just ordered one for $396 total. Don't have a redcard.
There were only 2 near me for store pickup within 25 miles. Not sure if low stock or if that was the only store open this early.

Thank you for posting it though
I was mostly interested in finding out what the screenshot would turn out like. The screenshots seem so much darker than on screen without HDR, less detail as well sue to the lack of dynamic range Bonus pic:

Anybody grabbing a ps plus year subscription card make sure you check if your store has the $50 sku. Mine did but they hid them in back. The guy tried to lie to me but I told him it says the store has them in stock online and made him grab me one from the back. I just saved $10 like a fucking boss!

The console doesn't need to be updated first but you will need the update on a USB and it will pull it from that once you switch the drives. I put the new drive in my PS4 Pro before ever plugging it in. After that it should be pretty smooth but pretty long to transfer that much data

PS4 Pro almost looks as good as PS2!
So close haha

Gimme a PS2 Pro please!
Ok, but the firmware I assume needs to be updated before transferring right? I mean I will install the new drive first thing before plugging in the Pro at all, but before transferring, I should be running the latest 4.05 firmware that I got from a USB stick right?
Probably overthinking this whole process...I have covered wars you know and this is making me more nervous!

Slow, I think it took 40 min to transfer 140GB for me. Glad I delete +200GB from the games I have on disc.

It's okay, haha. You'll have the latest firmware on the USB. It's this link if you need it. http://dus01.ps4.update.playstation...41cfe2f0dec1bb4663571de78ae31cf/PS4UPDATE.PUP
So once it's done installing that you'll be 'updated' already and ready to go.

I'll check, just a minute
Edit: oops sorry for the double post
Edit: yes, that does seem to be true. You can choose 4K or 1080 screenshot from the menu but it doesn't automatically take 1080 shots of non 4K games. This mean files sizes are almost 4x the size they really need to be. A normal screenshot of The Tomorrow Children is about 2MB in png format but this shot https://abload.de/img/thetomorrowchildren_2wfs2f.png is 7MB desptire the game not being Pro supported
Well, I guess I will delete as many games as possible. Wanted to transfer everything that is PS4 Pro upgraded over, but it may be faster to transfer nothing and redownload from PSN actually.

Playing through infamous SS at 4k is insane, never thought I'd see the game so sharp, and the HDR is game changing, it's really unfortunate this game crushes blacks

Guys my Pro came with default sound output HDMI and PCM(linear).
Honestly I never understood these settings.I am using not that fancy Philips 5.1 and the setup is like thisS4 PRO to TV with HDMI and then TV to Philips with optical cable. Should I leave it like this or use Dolby/DTS under HDMI.
