@@thagrindtony I output 4k from the console , downscale it using a HDMI splitter to 1080p then put that through the 4k gamer pro and there is a big improvement on my 4k gaming monitor. Even though it being downscaled the 4k information is still present in the signal so the 4k gamer pro is making improvements to the 4k information.

Just got a PS4 slim last week, one that finally works at least. I am primarily a PC/Switch player. PS4 games in my area on marketplace are like $5/$10 depending on the person, some are even cheaper in lots. Grab them now, in 5 -8yrs, they will be hard to find, at least the more rare games. Looking at 360/PS2 games right now and GC, console games get ridiculously priced when the supply dries up and people get all nostalgic.

As far as slow load times are concerned,you should be able to speed that up by replacing your hard drive with an SSD.

I replaced my HDD in my PS4 Pro with a Samsung Evo 860 SSD. It’s super fast bro and I replaced the thermal paste and it’s quiet and the heat is expelled far more efficiently.

Replace HDD with SSD,repaste thermal paste for sure as it's dried out by now...and it's still a capable budget box honestly. I'd tell people to get an XSS of money is right but if you want into the PS ecosystem and money is right this will do for another solid 1-2 years while missing out on some ps5 exclusives.

for 200 bucks is a damn good console even if it doesnt beat the 5. im happy with mine icl

I bought my PS4 Pro in 2022 when they renewed the manufacture for the PS4 Pro in 2021 and it's 2024 and I've never cleaned it since I bought it and I've never got my fan as loud as the beginning of your video I played games like MGSV Uncharted 4 and Nier and a lot of other games that are considered heavy on the console and I've never had to deal with that jet plane of a fan you have and listen I've played games up to six hours and maybe eight but I mostly play games on my Pro for usually 3 hours and I have yet to deal with any major issues compared to PS4 slim or the OG PS4 its a solid console but I really want a PS5 Pro and I want to be able to play PS2 and PS3 on it hopefully

Still on ps4 pro . But i recommend to a ssd . It helps cutting load to a third to half the time. Also fixes most of the textures streaming

I still have my ps4 pro. Though loading is much faster on my ps5 I never had problems with the loading times on the pro. I never felt games took too long to load. As consoles go I even think ps3 and Xbox 360 still hold up, I play one x, ps4 pro and ps5 on my 4K qled and play those older consoles on my 24 inch PlayStation simulview monitor, Alan wake, dead rising, GTA4, sleeping dogs, fight night champion,etc on 360s, last of us and uncharted trilogy, fight night round 3, Killzone games, etc on my ps3, all still hold up and load pretty quick when reloading check points after dying.

clean it and repaste it with a good thermal paste.

Load times are significantly worse on last gen for sure... UNLESS you get yourself an SSD! I will admit, they are super slow using the base console's HDD... some games are unbearably slow with loading. However, if you get yourself a high quality SSD, those issues will all disappear and it will come in a close 2nd to a PS5. I got myself a Samsung 4TB SSD and couldn't be happier. Cyberpunk 2077 used to take forever to load in, now it's only seconds from loading vs. minutes. With $100 or so, you can change the entire experience... plus, it fixes tons of texture loading and pop-in, so in a roundabout way it does increase the graphics. 10/10 highly recommend buying yourself a refurbished/used PS4 Pro in good condition with an SSD installed. I'd roll with a 4TB for the SSD because the games are HUGE on the PS4 - and with a 4TB drive, you'll have all the space you will ever need. :) Then maybe opt in to get a PS5 Pro when it's released sometime in the future. Until then, PS4 Pro has incredible graphics, 4K capability, and tons of cross-buy/cross-save/cross-play games... so chances are, you'll be able to play the best games with all of your friends who own both PS4 and PS5! PS. Also, if you think the PS4 fan is loud, then you haven't played the PS3... LOL.

I use an pretty old ps4 slim and its great experience im actually going to buy the psvr 1 so i can play some games

My ps4 pro hen with 2tb ssd

There are 2 versions of the pro. You got the older version. The newer one has a figure 8 AC plug. Those run quieter.

When a PS5 is on sale maybe it will be worth it. With all things considered theres no PS5 exclusives in and also the PS5 has its own issues. I thought about just upgrading to a PS4 pro, as my PS4 is old. But is there a point if its going to be like the One X. Were it doesn’t make the cut? Thats the cross gen problem PS4 Pro 4Tflops of power 2x times more powerful than a base ps4. They could develop it on Ps4 pro hardware and PS5s to make the gap less big. Also you didn’t cover cyberpunk!? Which is so taxing on every single system!

Nice video, man.

Sort the thermal paste and pads, much quieter. PS4 looks so much more classy, doesn't look out of place in the TV cabinet and the flat top is so much more practical. PS5 looks dreadful imo, especially with the bluray.

There's been quite a bit of games that either don't maintain a locked 60fps (i.e. ff16, Jedi survivor) or even ship with 30fps only (i.e. starfield) which is absurd for this console gen.

Complaining about a 20sec load time. It’s a good job you never had to sit through a 5 min load time on a Spectrum in the 80s.

Im really happy,that Im not alone with this opinion,ps4 pro is still really good as riches ps5,80%. Yes,lazy downloads and no more games after 1.5Year.But everything works perfect as on ps4 pro and ps5,cheeper,more confortable and absolute under control and more,ext.disk is playable not on ps5,must be inter.ssd very rich,external is just like a bible on the ground.Sorry for my english.Finally ,I mean that is better choice to buy and invest money and support to ps4 pro and don't understand,why Sony makes ps4 slim and not ps4 pro in their factories and sold it by 80$ higher for 2 years more.Really shame.

FF16 is one of the best games that really justifies upgrading. Fun fact, they considered a PS4 version but cancelled it because it would take an extra year of development to optimise it for the weaker console.

I play games with headphones on, so a vacuum cleaner running in the room does not matter let alone a console fan .
