If I don't have a 4K tv? I've had my PS4 for 4 years. Its the 500G and I can tell it's starting to get slow and sometimes freezes when I'm on the main menu.
I'm looking to get a new one and I was thinking about getting a Pro. I saw the reg PS4 with the 1TB hard drive is $199. I know the Pro has better hardware than the reg PS4. Is that alone worth it if I don't have a 4K tv to take advantage of the better picture?

I picked up assassins creed origins, and it looks good on my system. I don't have a 4k tv, or system. I would say being black friday if you want the better system to get it. If you can get a great deal go for it. You can always buy a 4k tv later down the road. If you can get a 1tb system go for it.
I just don't want you spending the money then 2 years later or even a year later here's a newer version. That's what happened with me, on my X-1 about 2 years later here's 2 newer one's.

The best I found was a Star Wars Battlefront 2 bundle for $399. |

That's another thing I was thinking. I would hate for the PS5 to drop after I spent more on a PS4 Pro. I almost went and got the regular 1TB PS4 for $199 yesterday. I'm still undecided though. |

$199 man that was a steal. I seen some guy on the local news tonight with 3 PS4. I was like he's going to sell them on Ebay for normal or a little more. I was ticked when I bought my 1tb X-1 2 years ago, and now we have these new systems. I'm getting tired of the gaming companies doing this to us. I can't afford 4 or 500 bucks every few years. I have to save up for that sort of stuff. I just bought Assassin Creed Origins the steelbook version. I wanted all the goodies, but didn't want to buy the paper card version. The sad thing is the nice looking artsy case is in a box all the rest of the games I own. BTW if you're a AC fan, it's a pretty nice game, far better than the rest. That's the first game I bought in a long time. I been enjoying the free games I get off and on over the last year.
PS5 isn't going to be out anytime soon? Just wondering is all.

I just looked on my wal mart app and it's back up to the normal $299, so it looks like I may have screwed the pooch. They do have a bundle with Call of Duty WWII or Star Wars Battlefront for $299 each, so those would be the better buys. Or I could add $50 more and get a Pro with no game for $349. I've never played any Assassin's Creed games. I always played the Uncharted Series, GTA and MLB the Show. I work with a guy who said the new AC is good. I don't think the PS5 is due for a while. It would just be my luck though that I'd shell out the extra cash for a Pro and they would come out with the new system soon after. I agree about the price of the new systems. Its crazy. They should at least go back to making them backwards compatible again. That would soften the blow of all your old games becoming useless unless you keep your old system. |

I have a PRO and I am still rocking my 1080tv. Some games run better in action mode 1080/60fps. I prefer this anyway over the 4K/30fps.
Boost mode helps smoothen out the frame rate in older games as well.

I ended up ordering a pro. I found one on Wal Mart.com today for $399. It also included Star Wars Battlefront 2 Elite Edition which goes for $80. The one I mentioned previously in this thread for $399 had the regular Battlefront 2. I signed up for the Wal Mart card and if I made an online purchase with it today I qualified for a $35 statement credit, so I get another $35 off. I figured I would pay the card off and use it for getting discounts on gas.
