I don't see much marginal value in upgrading a normal to a Pro but when it comes to getting an entire new one I figure the Pro has enough going for it, particularly in VR (which needs all the horsepower it can get.) We had two iPhone 6s to trade in and at CEX they're almost a straight swap for a PS4 Pro. I didn't want to wait on getting rid of the iPhones, so I did the exchange now, even though I don't really need the Pro at the moment. |

VR was my driver for upgrading, though it's impossible to say how much it helps because I had it pretty much right from the start and have never played any of the same stuff on a vanilla machine for comparison. The super sampling mode is potentially really nice if you've got a 1080p set and are playing a game with 4k support, which I haven't done yet I don't think. In your scenario picking up a Pro is a total no brainer either way. |

I think so too. I have a 1080p TV with no HDR, so I’m not expecting to be blown away by any visual improvements... at least until I change the TV. Obviously I’ll be shopping for a 4K when I build the man cave. |

You're probably aware of this already but I'll mention it just in case: the v1 PSVR box doesn't pass through HDR for some fucking stupid reason so bear that in mind when you get your new TV and set it all up. |

Yeah, it's stupid. I have to say that I noticed zero difference in VR when I moved to the PS Pro, but Gaywood will tell you it's because my eyes are broken. |

How much stuff did you play before the change for comparison? Also, bear in mind that with VR more horsepower can translate to higher frame rates and thus less nausea rather than like visibly better shinies or whatever. The single game I played that spanned my upgrade seemed to be massively easier to play for long periods after the move to the Pro; though that could easily be attributed to a placebo effect or just better VR legs on my part. In conclusion: I have no strong argument either way. |

You need a splitter to go down that road. The problem is that the passthrough box is only HDMI 2.0. As I understand it, when a HDMI chain (eg. PS4 -> PSVR box -> amp -> TV in my case) boots up, the handshaking process negotiates an overall connection based on the weakest link in the chain. If that's the PSVR, the whole chain runs at HDMI 2.0. You need HDMI 2.1 for the expanded colourspaces that HDR needs. So, no HDR. You can in theory do Code: /-> amp -> TV (for HDR flat games) PS4 Pro -> splitter \-> PSVR -> amp -> TV (for VR games) But it's fiddly and expensive and chews up two amp inputs. In other news my many year old Sony amp isn't HDMI 2.1 either. In fact it's only HDMI 1.4. Hurrah! (Aside: this isn't entirely Sony's fault. The HDMI 2.1 spec was only finalised late last year, so it didn't exist when PSVR was released. But in general the specs process has been really bad around 4K and HDR, which is why there's a mess of different specs that are all incompatible with each other ie. HDR10 vs Dolby Vision. It's possible to buy a box that only outputs one and a TV that only supports the other and end up with no HDR. Like I said, it's a mess.) |

MrsDoc wants to co-op it [1], so here we are. I can flog the disk copy to CEX for £36 though. [1] our PS4s are both in the living room at the moment, so she's playing on the TV and I'm playing on a virtual screen using PSVR. It works alright though! |

It's an innovative solution, I'll give you that. Playing a new and good looking game on something less than half the usual 1080p is something I would absolutely not be up for though. |

On which note <39.50> HyperX Cloud Stinger My word, headsets are surprisingly spendy. I had to talk myself down to this one. But we least this can be used for the PC as well, in case we get bitten by the Factorio bug again or something. Edit — it also had the significant advantage of being in stock at Prime Now. |
