Following Sony's announcement of the PlayStation 4 Pro console today, the souped-up system is now available to preorder at retailers.

Amazon and GameStop are now accepting preorders for the $400 device. As announced at the PlayStation Meeting briefing today, the PS4 Pro goes on sale on November 10 (the Amazon page shows a placeholder date). Click through the images below to get a closer look.

The PS4 Pro does not replace the existing PS4, but will instead live alongside it. The PS4 Pro has a 1 TB hard drive, doubled GPU power, and technology adapted from AMD Polaris graphical architecture. These allow the PS4 Pro to reach resolutions "not thought possible on consoles" in 2016, " PS4 system architect Mark Cerny said. The CPU clockspeed has also been boosted.

However, the PS4 Pro does not have a 4K Blu-ray drive.

The PS4 Pro wasn't the only console Sony announced today. The company also confirmed the rumored PS4 Slim. The smaller version of the PS4 launches next week for $300. Additionally, a firmware update for all PS4s, dating back to launch models, will unlock HDR support.

Looks like a layer cake. Slim = 2 layers, Pro = 3 layers. When they make Pro S or Pro+, it will have 4 layers.

Eh, I only own a PS4 for its exclusives, which supposedly should still run on the original version fine. I'll stick to my PC for anything fancy.

No thanks Sony i'll stick to my current PS4 for the time being. Don't own a 4k screen set, don't plan on buying any VR headset for the near future; i'll play it safe this time around.

How is it that this system will not play 4K movies, but 4K games. Will this be part of an update like the Xbox 1 with Blu-ray players, cause it didn't play blu-rays unless you updated it and downloaded an app that allowed you to play blu-rays. I really would like to know more about this system before I pre-order it. The big reason I wanted it was not just for 4k gaming but for playing 4k movies. Sony I hope that you have something planned to fix this.

@AndreGreen3000: it's only upscaling to 4K. 4K won't be the native resolution of the games.

@metalkid9: I see so what are the main differences here? From what I've read in a few articles about the ps pro it really doesn't sell itself well for those of us with current ps4 systems, I mean why should we bother to upgrade? I guess if you already have a 4k screen? Like you said though, it's up scaling and not native. I saw the Witcher 3 running on a friends top end pc with all the sliders set to max on a big 4k screen and my jaw dropped so low it bounced off the floor, absolutely incredible image that made my eye sight look pixelated!? Back home however I've not made the leap to 4k yet (and with current prices won't be anytime soon). In a nutshell, there's no way near enough for me to warrant a new console purchase and playing on a 50" 1080p screen is perfect for the time being.

@R4gn4r0k: I've been meaning to pickup a PS4 for quite some time, I kept placing it on the back burner. Once the Neo was leaked, I decided to wait and see. With quicker load times, more memory (I understand this can be upgraded in original PS4s) and slightly enhanced visuals.

I have no issue paying $100 more for added features, especially with boosted load times. I heard the Witcher 3 on PS4 has minute long loading screens. Others may see more value in the OG PS4 and PS4 slim, but I'd like to see the performance differences for games such as Final Fantasy XV.

No 4K blu Ray support means no buy. And did Sony not learn what releasing a weaker console does for the competition? Scorpio will destroy this, thank god I went PC

@xcreep1ngdeath: How much will that cost? Rumor has it, it will be expensive, $600-800. It may be better, but the race will have been lost by the time it's out. Neo will have a one year head start, and if they are not competing on price, I think Scorpio will lose, even though it's better. If it's $800 or even $600, it's going to get destroyed.

If it's $400, then Sony might be worried. But MS will lose money on each unit sold, and by then the difference in install-base is going to be so big that the avalanche will just continue to grow.

@Frogster8: Well it comes down to three choices. Number one is the games, Second is the Specs and the third choice is both things, power and games. If is the games then you should pick the console that has the games that you like the most. If is power then the logical choice is Scorpio. If is Power and games then this might be a tricky decision. I'll will eventually get both consoles PS4 Pro and the Scorpio but if I were in you shoes and I can only buy one then I pick the Scorpio and this is my opinion not yours or anyone else but I think the Scorpio has the better games and it will be the most powerful console as well.

@angrycreep: Weird; the primary reasons to have a console is because they're being more friendly and inviting for local multiplayer and games focused on that like dancing games and sport games like Madden; lack of space or not being able to afford PC hardware sufficient enough for optimal performance worth getting a PC for over a console (high on 60FPS), and family-oriented reasons like not having PC(s) hogged up by significant others (kids/significant other) for gaming when you want to game or be productive on the PC.

Other than that, PC gaming is the way to go.

@MegamanX97: Yes. On the price though, I just searched and found an article that says the official price for Canada is $499, not bad as I was expecting a lot more than a $100 difference. However I hadn't kept up on exchange rates, today I noticed on Paypal the exchange rate was $1 CAD = $0.75, I guess it's about right then.

Of course that price could be wrong :).

@hystavito: I felt the same way. I really thought it would be over 499$. I just pre-ordered of Amazon last night. Pretty excited for the Pro. I feel like my console love for the PS4 is renewed!
