Buy a PS4 Pro or upgrade my PS4 HDD?

I currently own a 500 GB PS4. The 500 GB is a joke. I need more space. I'm trying to decide if I want to upgrade my Hard drive to a 2 TB hard drive, or just buy a PS4 pro and sell my original ps4. I don't have a 4K Tv so I don't know how worth it it would be to buy the PS4 pro at this point. I think it would be cheaper to just get a 2 Tb hard drive eh?

@vividfragment: I just bought a 1TB drive for my ps4 for $60. So glad I did! I would just upgrade the hard drive. I just bought a 4K tv on Black Friday, but no HDR:( I don't think the pro does much unless you have HDR

It does a bunch even without HDR...

@Epak_: I don't even know if my TV has HDR... it's a 2013 Sony bravia

I agree it does so much more you don't need HDR to appreciate the pro.

The pro isn't worth it, just get a 2tb hdd

It doesn't.

The PS4 Pro is dope even if your 4k doesn't have HDR. As long as you have a quality brand Tv. HDR is nice but it all starts with a 4k tv. Meaning even without HDR you will benefit GREATLY on the patched games like Titanfall 2, Infinite Warfare, Watchdogs 2 just to name a few. There's a big difference in how those 3 games I mentioned run and look on the Pro compared the regular PS4 & Xbox One S. HDR is nice but it's most definitely not needed to benefit greatly on the PS4 Pro as long as your UHD or 4k TV isn't a Walmart special and is a good brand.

How is FFXV running on the PS4P lol?

@vividfragment: PS4 Pro is good for frame rate and 1080p HDTVs as well, it's not just for 4K.

Yeah, tech analysts broke it down.

Also, all PS4s support HDR since the update.

@GTR12: No clue...

WOW someone replied to an obvious answer, unless you live under a rock...

It runs worse on the PS4P than the plain old PS4.

That's cute GTR :/ .. I have it on the Xbox S dawg.. Only play exclusives & dope "Pro Enhanced Patched" games on Playstation since I get hooked up by Microsoft. I'm very fortunate! The Pro is dope though.

So you're a liar now as well...

FFXV is also a "Pro Enhanced Patched" game, yet you bought it on another console, yeah I don't believe your crap about being "hooked up".

@GTR12: Dude I could careless if u believe me, straight up! I said "Dope PS4 Pro Enhanced Games". Take that how u wanna. You crack me up gype lol..

I brought a 2TB for my normal PS4 and I'm literally living the dream I don't even have to think/worry about the storage or deleting games for more storage just make sure you back up EVERYTHING because when I did it i didn't back up my Call of Duty and I had the season pass so I couldn't get that back. So just be careful what you do/don't backup

Id say wait on the ps4 pro my friend.

I agree with Karmuh 100%. The PS4 Pro is a quality console for the price. My only issue is the 1 TB HD that comes with it just isn't enough. I just put a 2TB in mine and after I installed most of the games I play I got about 900 GB left. Man I wish Sony designed it so we were able to use a external HD. It would save so many headaches! For me at least lol...

Actually FFXV plays best on the PRO atm.

@Epak_:yeah, from DigitalFoundry:

Playing on the baseline PS4 gets you a mostly stable 30fps, but the game has some egregious frame-pacing problems. Even though we’re seeing 30 new frames every second, they’re being delivered inconsistently, so the image appears to stutter.

On the PS4 Pro, you’ll have two different rendering modes to pick from: High and Lite. The High mode runs at a 1800p with checkerboarding, better textures, and improved effects, but it sees a similar level of stutter as the base PS4 version. Drop down to Lite mode on the PS4 Pro, and things are slightly better. You’re limited to 1080p30, but the frame-pacing problem mostly goes away. You’ll still see it pop up during some cutscenes here and there, but it’s probably your best experience for the time being.

Running on the Xbox One, Final Fantasy XV’s pacing problem disappears completely. Unfortunately, that comes at the expense of a lower resolution and some torn frames. There’s a dynamic resolution in place, and it tops out at just 900p on Microsoft’s platform.

@xantufrog: Just finished it yesterday, played using high resolution mode and just ignored the frame pacing. The lite would have been best for performance, but I didn't buy a PRO to play my games in friggin' lite mode :P
