I thought the OG PS4 looked fantastic -shrug-
Also, it gave us the MGS V PS4, aka the GOAT

Seems like Sony is making everyone's hw obsolete this year...
I own that MGS5 PS4. The OG PS4 looked good vertically, but it certainly didn't feel premium. The PS4 Pro both feels cheap and looks pretty bad, especially in black.
At least in Japan, its already been released.
Purchasable on the Sony Store.

Release date says October 2nd, which is in JST so it was basically released yesterday in Japan time.

That is interesting, thanks for the link.
I just converted the price to , it would cost 339.
In Germany the PS4 CUH 7000 costs 399.

I don't really want to get into semantics re: 'premium'
The OG PS4 looked great for a console, the Pro looks and feels terrible. Build quality is pretty bad too. I've had to return two already due to extreme noise from both the fans and disc drive. Not really what you'd expect this far into a console generation.
The white Pro looks quite a bit better, thankfully. It's still a creaky piece of shit, crudely said.
I don't why you keep saying the Pro feels terrible but not the OG PS4. They both made of the same shit.

OG PS4 had the glossy bit though!
In any case, the Pro should feel like a step up from OG PS4, being the 'high-end revision' of the two on the market.
It's wholly outshined by even the Xbox One S, which costs about half the price of the Pro currently (in EU at least).

Pro launched at the same price as the OG so it was never going to be premium sadly.
The OG design still looks much better than the Pro today though imo. They regressed in that department. Hopefully Microsoft's work with the S and X means they will put some effort in next time.

Rathalos edition? Hell yea, I'm in.
Yes time to throw it in the trash.

Off topic a bit, but speaking of revisions, there was a website I saw once that tore down the different Dualshock 4 revisions (before the extra identifying lightbar strip), that showed some had bluetooth modules of different generations, anyone know where that is?

Don't quite understand how someone would have the funds to buy a new edition of the PS4 to get their games to run marginally better, but would not be able to afford a 4K TV.
That said, it's another clear sign of Sony not really giving a rat's ass about the Pro or the people who buy it.
Toss that shit in the trash. The future is now.

Maybe they will fix the fans going crazy in "pro" games.

So now my Pro is obsolete? Thanks Sony. For the players, indeed.
Pro at £299 please
GAME will apparently sell you a PRO for £199 if you trade in an original PS4

My Pro makes a lot of sounds in many games but I wouldn't really call any of them "Jet Engine". It's not really any noisier than my old OG PS4.

That has to be a parody post though right
You can't do the 'for the players' putdown anymore and actually be serious about it
You and me both.
The 5.0 system update bricked my OG but not my slim (posted in that thread). I'm looking to get a slim (love that thing) but i'd get a pro if i knew it was silent.
Wonder what's been changed for this version.
Not a fan of the color on that MGSV PS4 but I agree that the OG model looked nicer. My biggest issue with the Pro is the uneven light in the light bar on the front. It was the same on the OG model but the brightest part of the light was at the front while the brightness trailed off towards the back, making it less noticeable.

Hmm...wonder if we'll see another TV/PS4 Pro bundle with this model during November. (Bet it'll just be old models for both though)
That would be a pretty dumb move... By the time the Pro drops to $299, your PS4's resell value will also be dropped. Should just upgrade now and enjoy it, you are going to be spending the same amount money now or an year from now.

Looks like a lot of changes have been coming just in time for the first holiday against the Nintendo Switch (and to a lesser extent, the XB1/X) so they are making headway to be able to reduce pricing hen necessary.
Your opinion of this matter if both flawed and terrible. There are plenty of things in the last few years that fall below the Pro.
It's not the most sleek design, but it doesn't look/feel cheap at all to me. The glossy HDD cover on OG PS4 did, though.
The power and eject feel pretty cheap on the pro.

If that picture was supposed support your point... lmao.
The pro is the ugliest, tackiest looking console on the market.

Not without better cooling. Heat and noise is borderline uncomfortable.

meh...thought the same about the og ps4. the pro is not as bad as people make it out to be. just not as good as the competition.
be cool if we get some post mortem on the ps4 at some point and get to see what the second design that andy house nixed was

They'll save that for PS5 at this point.

Glossy doesn't make stuff look premium.
This so much. System is whisper quiet with OG PS4 games but ramps up like a mother in quite a few enhanced titles. My kingdom for silence.
I don't have any interest in a mediocre 4K TV. In 2 or 3 years you will see the cream of the crop with HDMI 2.1 or beyond. Why waste my money now when most of the big games I cannot even play in 4K, and UHD is just getting started? I keep TVs for like 6 years or more. I don't need to invest in something that will be dated in a couple years.
My next upgrades will all be HDMI 2.1

Who made you the premium expert? This whole thing is subjective anyway.
I traded in my black Pro for this one, and it's a huge improvement. Still not as good-looking as the XB1S sitting next to it, though.Well, not so sure:

If that's your stance, there's little need for a Pro, right? So we agree.

Well, not so sure:
That is a very large improvement, but it's still no OG PS4 or xboneS or switch.
But it's not bad tbh.
not bad at all.
