What's the difference between the controllers?

Um Rachet and Clank looks way better than i remember it looked. Do i have to turn anything on or is the upgrade automatic in the game?
The new controller has new sticks, a light on the top of the touch pad and a low lag mode when connected to the PS4 via USB. I'm probably missing something.
I just tried Titanfall 2 on my 1440p monitor.
I am delighted with how good it looks.
Supersampled 1080p output looks fantastic with the buttery smooth frame rate.
I was not expecting it to look this good in my office. Maybe it will reside here longer than I thought it would.
One small gripe. The corner of my console seems a little smudged above the PS4 logo.

Move the 4K TV to the area you spend 6hrs.
Using it vs not using it is a good call but you're missing out on the whole point of the console tbh.
Swap the TVs?
Yea that's impossible sadly lol, everyone wants the 4k tv in the living room for Netflix and tv.
Yes, you can.
I wish I could but it's not possible. The 4k tv room is full of traffic and all just relax and watch tv and stream Netflix, I wouldn't wanna take that away from family.

Why did they move the light bar on the console to the front so that it's constantly shining in your face? I have to say I really hate that.
Is that annoying/distracting anyone else?

Deus Ex Mankind Divided is looking realllly good. All the edges are so clean. I'm guessing that's the downsampling doing work.

Yes, if the receiver supports 4k/hdr passthrough then you can go through it
You can share PS Plus on both consoles. But you have to choose one of them which will be your primary console. For the primary console, the PS Plus benefits will be shared across all accounts. Meaning, all accounts will have access to online multiplayer, the free games.
For the PS4 which isn't set as primary for said account, online multiplayer and access to the ps plus games is limited to that one account. That and I think you need to be online to access your PS Plus games.

Has ND said anything about doing a Pro mode for the UC Collection? That would be amazing to replay in 4k

Less likely than Hillary reverting the election.
What TV are you using?

How's the performance, I thought I read somewhere that it's worse but I've been hoping I'm mistaken. It's still downloading rn so I can't try it myself.
Ah thanks. So I imagine you can't really have two PS4s logged into the same account at the same time then. Complicates things a bit, but cool thanks for the feedback =)

Yeah, but the ps4 that's set as your primary allows all profiles access to the ps+ benefits.
Edit: I read that wrong. Sorry.
Probably a projector.

Do they have HDR?

Guys. Just played a hour of PSVR. I can't recommend PSVR on a regular PS4 anymore. What an incredible difference.
So if I understand this correctly, what you would do at the end is have the second PS4 log into the account that has PS+ access (aka the primary account) and have the primary PS4 using a secondary account (enjoying the benefits of having the primary marking)
The higher category Sony ones definitely do.

I am so conflicted...
If I get a PS4Pro by turning back the day one PS4 I'd get 2 more years of warranty, and a console that would be able to use my 4K TV.
But do I really want to spend 200 and giving back 2 games?
The consumer in me screams "YES DO IT" the accountant in me tells me not to do it.

After seeing games in 4K going with 1080p would be impossible for me
Also you shouldn't be playing more than 2 hours a day.
Only the Sony 4K models no?
Those are all $15k+.
If so... damn.

Seems about the same to be honest. The performance was never great. Not any better but not any worse. Trying to go guns blazing will tank the framerate, but that also goes for the standard version. I do wish they gave us some options though.
Picked this up at lunch, and finally got a chance to dive into things in the evening. First time PS4 owner, although I'd collected a few games (Last of Us Remastered, Until Dawn) and PS VR in preparation for the Pro's arrival.
1) So I'm really gonna have to go through an absurd plugging-and-unplugging ritual ever time I want to play VR, huh? That's not great. It's not the end of the world either, of course, but it definitely will make playing in VR something that has to be planned, rather than a spontaneous "might as well throw on the PS4."
2) As I expected, I ended up getting informed that I'm limited in terms of HDRI made a $200, 5" choice in going with an M-Series over a P-Series Vizio, and so I'm getting "2K HDR." However, toggling it on and off during Last of Us still showed a difference, and the game looks amazing, so I'm not going to complain.
3) I will say, though, that it's tough not to have a game to really "compare" given I'd never played any of them before (except for the VR stuff, which I didn't have time to really get to individually this evening). Even TV and movies is toughI upgraded Netflix and watched a bit of The Crown in 4K, and it looked spectacular, but not such that I was truly blown away. Found some of the YouTube stuff more impressive, but might try to find something to compare between the XBox and the PS4 to see how much the contrast is.
4) So Sony really doesn't let you change the country on accounts still? I haven't used my PS3 much since I got my Xbox One two years ago, and it hasn't been plugged in since I moved last year, so I had forgotten that I had a separate "U.S." account in addition to my primary Canadian one. Frustrating that I "wasted" my primary username on an account that is now useless (as I'm not going to put my PS+ on the Canadian account and be forced to pay the higher taxes that come with it), but I guess that's what happens when you can't see into the future.
On the whole, happy to have held out for a bit more powercurious to try some more VR stuff in the weeks ahead.

Isn't there an Epson one that has 4k and HDR and it's priced at a about 4000 dollars? I think I read about one at some point. Not sure if it's out yet though.Only the Sony 4K models no?

what if his job is to tighten up the graphics on level 3?

Exactly.
The person using the account that doesn't have ps+(on the ps set to primary) won't have auto cloud saves.
And if you're using your "main" playstation without setting it to primary you won't have access to your digital content if you don't have internet. Something to keep in mind.
Are you playing while the disc installs ? Because yeah the BD drive can get loud. But the game itself is pretty quiet. Just played a round MP (digital) and my Pro didn´t gave a peep. My OG PS4 usually goes into frenzy mode in MP but not so the Pro.

Ah damn, yeah a high frame rate option would be nice but it's not biggie I guess I'll continue my play through then with some glorious super sampling
Haha, valid points, but I meant as I would have access to ps4 for that amount of time. 4k tv I could only access it after midnight,
Other tv, I can access any point during day.
Those are "4K enhanced" but their native res is still 1920x1080.
They do support HDR though.
I think Sony is the only one still with true native 4k projectors for consumers.
Oh, didnt catch that.
Epson doesn't have a native 4k projector. Those are just regular 1080p projectors with some extra tech thrown in and communicated as 4k projectors.
