Called it the other day when pixel counting, ~1440p game.

Those close to 60 fps frame rates WHoa
Yeah. I will be downsampling, but it would've been great to get it from a higher res. They don't seem to be adding a better motion blur either.
I expected more from ND tbh.
Yeah, that sounds ominous.

Too late. He already canceled it.
.... thankfully i'll be not getting one before christmas. Let's see what's reported until then, and what to do to alleviate the noise - maybe this time around, putting it vertically could actually be beneficial.
Lol, I feel like you're not joking?

Anyone making a review thread?
They talk about PSVR on Pro here:

They talk about a massive difference to the VR stuff (feels more stable etc.)

It sure does. Also, I didn't notice a single frame drop in DF video UC4 MP section.

We've put up our review of the PS4 Pro over at PlayStation Universe and yeah, while it's definitely a palpable leap over the current PS4 for folks that own the appropriate gear, it isn't quite essential:

I'm really confused with the 4k and 4k checker board.
This Gamespot video says Battlefield 1 at 4k 60FPS:

I assume its not native 4k.
But is it just upscaled to 4k and 60FPS? And whats the native resolution? Or is it using checker boarding? And whats the base resolution from which they are checker boarding from?

My body is ready.
I had a launch ps4 and later got a c-chassis one and the difference is big.
If the pro is the same as the c-chassis then it's totally fine.

Good review, DF and I am glad they put "value for money" into their assessment.

Maybe because they had to do two patches (TLoU and U4).
U4 still have a DLC to come. So, maybe they will do another patch for U4 on Pro.

I honestly disagree with Digital Foundry on the fan noise. I mean, I'm not saying they're wrong because they're clearly measuring it, but I've found it to be quieter than the Slim personally.
Your mileage may vary, I guess.

checker boarding from 1080p I think, upscale is the wrong term?

Judging by DF's article, TR seems to be the title that brings by far the most to the table for us 1080p users. I might have to buy the game just to support their efforts.
I don't know what world you are living in but from the comparison pics i've seen so far the Pro is a considerably bigger console than the Xbox One S.

It's no upscale.

You need to connect them with an ethernet cable.
You can do the backup method as well.
The pro could definitely do 1080 60fps for Uncharted SP.
There's nothing in UC4 that ROTTR doesn't do.In fact,ROTTR looks a lot more impressive to me.

Yep.
Digital Foundry:
Even quieter than Slim? Woo.
C-chassis is the matte black drive bay cover, right?

DF said the levels are fine but the pitch of the noise is different. I'm sure it won't be an issue for the majority though.

So high-pitched fan noise is back?....
omg where did u hear that ? please be not true please

Fan noise is always hit or miss. People on here are complaining about the PS4 fan and I never have any issues.
Clearly the reason is Naughty Dog is a lazy/bad dev.
Am I reading it wrong in that not all games do it? Just from reading the main review it sounds like inFamous doesn't super sample and boosts frame rate instead. Which I'd actually take stable/better frame rate over super sampling in action games any day.

Yeah, and all limited editions starting with the MGS V one,

I didnt think about this until now, but how is the PS4 handling 4K tv sets? Is it just outputting UHD with black bars, or will it output true 4K

If edge shimmering is truly gone, that's fantastic news!
That would depend on the load it puts on the CPU as well. Maybe the GPU is up to the task, but not the CPU. Hard to know when we can't profile the game.
