good price but don't think I want dishonoured 2. So guess am sticking with the £332 amazon for the console

They have took it off now so must just be instore will check tomorrow

I hope they sort it quickly, mines listed as arriving tomorrow

well mines awaiting dispatch with anyluck it will be patched to allow full power of the console on older games

this was the article I was referencing

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-playstation-4-pro-review

With all of our content mirrored across onto the new PlayStation, we decided to begin our tests by looking at the presentation and performance of existing PS4 titles. Rather famously, Xbox One S features a GPU overclock compared to the standard model, resulting in a small bump to performance that while not essential, is clearly nice to have. When I spoke to Mark Cerny about improved base PS4 performance on Pro, he ruled it out completely pretty quickly and this is borne out by final hardware.
The new Pro GPU shuts down half of its compute units and the rest are downclocked from 911MHz to the standard PS4's 800MHz. We used a Project Cars replay running on both systems to judge performance in like-for-like gaming conditions in a title that stresses both CPU and GPU, and saw totally identical results. Maintaining compatibility is Sony's key aim here, though we would have liked to have seen an option to unlock full Pro performance (or at least the additional clocks) on older PS4 games. There is some precedent here: PS2 introduced additional texture filtering for running PS1 titles via backward compatibility - it was an option, and it was signposted that using the feature was done at the user's risk.

If that is true then very disappointing news.

Bit disappointed to read today that the power drops down to match original ps4 for unenhanced games, was hoping was like Xbox one s and to see a small performance boost across most games in terms of improved frame rate. Think Sony has locked this down which doesn't make sense, except for them saying that unenhanced ps4 games would play identically on both machines!

How much profit on PSVR?

I agree, its a bit strange of them to be selling at RRP at lunch as well, still if you have CEX vouchers now is the time to clear up

stupid amazon look on the page and says if order to day will get it the 10th so made a test order and it says the 10th but the order in i placed last week says the 11th, so really whats the point of ordering earlier!

CEX have listed the PS4 Pro at £255 cash or £280 exchange.

I'm thinking they have been burnt recently with the PSVR & The Xbox One S but they won't get any PS4 Pro's in at that price. (Unless stolen)

yeah got the same message. dam amazon

I've just had that email as well, I think we should all complain.

Hello,

We recently sent you an e-mail entitled "Important Information about your Amazon.co.uk order", which contained additional discounts on 2 games, "Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare" & "Dishonored 2".

We noticed that there was incorrect information provided in one line of the email:

"You'll need an Amazon.co.uk account to redeem your discount code and claim your free 'The Last of Us'."

Please note that there is no free 'The Last of Us' with this promotion. The line in the email you received should have read:

"You'll need an Amazon.co.uk account to redeem your discount codes."

We're sorry for any inconvenience caused, and we hope to see you again soon.

Regards,

Customer Service Department
Amazon.co.uk

So pleased to hear it's digital, thanks. Can sell my disc copy now :smiley:

I defo have prime. In no rush for it so will see when it arrives

PROS BEFORE SCORPIOS!

that sound like you dont have prime

presumably, the PS4 pro-D2 is qualified as one purchase, even if you shown 2 different price. meaning the code does not work on D2 bundled. So if you want to use the code, you have to use it on a separate order of D2.

I ordered mine through Tesco when they had the discount code on..worked out to £318 after quidco which isn't bad considering I sold my MGS edition PS4 for £250 just before the slim was released.

I don't get it either and can't add code to current order, think if you cancel they will charge more for console as two items are linked in your account as a deal.

Also I have the game listed as the 10th and console the 11th for delivery when I believe console out on 10th game released the 11th so think they have th wrong way round! Good old amazon!

Dont waste your time mate, the guy had another agenda entitely here and logical reasoning wont apply. Good post though

I don't get what Amazon have done. I preordered this deal but also got two codes - one of which is Dishonoured 2.

When I look at the receipt from Amazon the console shows as £314 for the and £38 for the D2. Would I better off returning the bundled D2 and reordering it with the discount code? That makes it £334 for the console with D2.

That's the example that the console manufacturers love to chuck around because they think it excuses their greed and incompetence.

When you buy a phone or a GPU, you know what you're getting into. Those sorts of concerns were never an issue with consoles until they made them an issue.

As it stands, it just means that I won't buy any PS4 games anymore so they've shot themselves in the foot there.

A console is an investment. The only reason to pay over the odds for what is basically a dumb terminal forged from out of date hardware and put up with all that online subscription crap is because you get a guarantee that console will play every game exactly as its meant to be played for at least the next 5 years.

Sony offered that guarantee back in 2013 but this year they've welched on it.

"I used to laugh at Apple fans for their gullibility but the way that gamers have just lay back and taken these announcements on the chest this year has really shocked me"

So what statement from Sony you think they are lying about?

"The very existence of this console is a direct insult at the consumer. Both Sony and Microsoft released massively underpowered and ill-thought out machines back in 2013 and now expect the consumer to pay for brand new hardware if they want a decent experience from their next 50 quid game. It's madness and is going to kill the very simplicity that made consoles attractive in the first place. "

Its not possible to build a better machine at that price point back then unless they sold it at a loss. and Sony dont expect you "have" to upgrade, that why they released the Slim ps4. its an option.

also if you think release a more powerful console three year later that in no way affect the experience of original console is an insult then what do you think of yearly mobile phone and graphic card upgrade? how dare they release a more powerful version right.


and judging by you statement you must be pc master race. you say console game is expensive but the only way you can get game cheaper is by grey market reseller with steam price consistently more expensive than console retail copy. but nothing is wrong with that. however unlike PC game,console game has physical copy which has reselling value, and the second hand market. which is why console gaming could be much cheaper than PC gaming ever would. and btw how do you share game between friend? oh right you have to log onto your friends account and you cant be online at the same time even if you not playing the same game. so lets not pretend Steam is the best thing in the world.

btw i normally game on PC and this is my first PS4 which i only got for exclusive

Well with that view on things i dont suppose there are many electrical goods you can ever allow yourself to purchase but each to their own.

cancelled my ps4 pro yesterday and Amazon just emailed me discount code for Dishonored 2 :smiley: £18 for game not bad

Already got one! A high spec one too.

I just care about the exclusives that I can't get on PC.


I can't play the exclusives on PC though. The boost in performance on consoles should make it bearable for me coming from the PC.

I'm not expecting anything jaw dropping but putting down an extra £100 made sense for me as I'm new to the PS4.

They would say that. They also said 3 years ago that the PS4 was a system truly prepared for the future. I wouldn't believe a word they say, they are liars.

If I wanted to worry about how a game would perform on my system before buying it then I would buy that game for PC. Consoles shouldn't come with those problems. Ever.

ordered dishonoured 2 for £18 and will kick up a fuss if i dont get the free game amazon are good to sort stuff out usually they gave me £90 for the vr unit free games missprice

Sony have said many times now that PRO enhancements are only additional and must not come at the cost of PS4 performance. I wouldnt worry

I just gave up, the guy was trying to get me to cancel and re-order not getting prices gone up and that I would lose my place for the pre order !!

I also just spoke to them on chat and he confirmed they are having problems with the codes but we should receive an email with them in the next few days.

For some reason my account credit went from £9 digital credit to £134 to spend on products sold by Amazon only. I was told twice (i had to confirm as i didn't believe it) that i had it and that i couldn't see it myself.
Obviously ordered the Pro but when nothing came off i used the help and spoke to them. Came back saying they would refund me £125 on dispatch and I had £9 digital credit. Got that confirmed in an email.
Best thing was Amazon was asking where the credit was from and i was saying I honestly have no idea.
I didn't expect them to honour it.

How come?

Good luck. I copied the txt from the email into the chat.

Best thing for me is Amazon have agreed to refund me £125 on dispatch of the PS4 Pro. But that's a separate issue

You're doing better than me the guy I'm chatting with doesnt get what I'm on about!

Just been told this
"I can confirm that you'll receive a digital copy for the "Last of Us" game. We expect a mail to be sent out for the same as you get charged for the order."

So Dishonoured 2 and a digital copy of The last of Us for £18

The last of us maybe an error you have to fight for

Just had the email too will do the same see what they say

I purchased this bundle for £352.49 used the discount for CoD bringing it down to £32.

So you get a PS4 Pro , Dishonoured 2, CoD and the Last of Us for £384.49.

Even if you sold CoD and Dishonoured 2 this brings the price down of the Ps4 Pro close to the £300 mark with a free copy of The Last of Us !

On chat now, apparently i will get the game added to the shipment on dispatch. Just checking with management

Let us know how you get on?

I read that as more down to them nearly finishing it and trying to get it ready to hit deadline of the end of the month than not wanting to optimise for Pro, if earlier in build they would have done it I'm sure!

It did but put that down to a dodgy typo!

I already ordered dishonoured 2 with the console yesterday

Yeah, i saw the same. going to order Dishonoured 2 and then go on Amazon chat to try to get it.

You chose the wrong game.

​Did the email also state a free copy of the last of us but no way to redeem it?

Thanks for the link. Wow, that's a real disappointment. Gamespot and IGN are both saying it has enhancements for Pro that haven't been announced yet but it seems from that quote they are both wrong.

I am now thinking twice about whether to get a Pro at all to be honest.

I received the email as well but I'm not that interested in either game unfortunately

Ordered this yesterday and just got an email from Amazon offering discount on dishonoured 2 for £20 and call of duty for £34, just added call of duty

Its on the list but wasn't officially confirmed by Hajime Tabata.

"About the PS4 Pro, it’s basically the same thing about the PC – if we wanted to take full advantage of the new hardware, that would mean putting in much effort and time to make the game look and run better… and time is something we don’t have right now, neither we had foreseen the PS4 Pro’s existence before."

http://www.dualshockers.com/2016/10/22/final-fantasy-xv-director-talks-ps4-pro-version-maxing-ps4-much/

Actually there is. It's on the list of games to get a PS4 Pro patch for enhancements. I would have bought a bundle with this game straight away so I'm also surprised it hasn't appeared yet. There's still time I suppose.

This console will still struggle to hold 60 fps at 1080p in the long term and at upscaled 4k you would be lucky to get a steady 30. But don't worry, they will come out with another one in 2 years, tell everyone that this one was actually crap and people will bring out their wallets in their droves yet again.

thats good, because the up scaling will be so marginal (for the money spent anyway).
agree with the user above, anyone interested in high 60FPS should invest in a PC really. For me , dont really get the whole FPS conversation for a console. You make it sound like its utter acid in the eyes to play a game at say 30FPS

I still stand by my statement, everything you have mentioned no way justifies spending the extra £100 - 150 (in my humble opinion)

clueless retort, user can also be ignored

Phil Spencer said the direct opposite of that this week fortunately.

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2016-11-01-spencer-beyond-generations-doesnt-mean-a-new-console-every-two-years

I honestly cannot understand why anybody would ever want an iterative model like that. It works on phones because phone games/apps usually cost very little and phones are multifunctional and, essentially, far more important devices. For most people now, their smartphone is their best friend. It goes with them everywhere and they use it for pretty much everything. They are also used as a statement of personality and have a style element to their design.

I bought The Last of Us in 2013 and it ran on a console that was released in 2006. If my original 2006 system had still worked at that point then it would have been able to play it as well as any other. Now I am worried about buying Horizon next Easter just in case it runs like a dog dragging it's **** along the carpet on my launch day PS4. To play it the way that the developers intended is going to require me to spend an additional 350 quid on a brand new machine. That kind of arrangement is just not going to help anyone in the long term.

I can not find the article, but the chief exec of MS recently said that console generations as we know them are dead, and they are moving towards a more pc based incremental style idea, so new consoles every few years that get incrementally better

Then buy a PC.

I used to laugh at Apple fans for their gullibility but the way that gamers have just lay back and taken these announcements on the chest this year has really shocked me.

The very existence of this console is a direct insult at the consumer. Both Sony and Microsoft released massively underpowered and ill-thought out machines back in 2013 and now expect the consumer to pay for brand new hardware if they want a decent experience from their next 50 quid game. It's madness and is going to kill the very simplicity that made consoles attractive in the first place.

And this deal has expired by the way.

Clueless post, can safely be ignored

Err no. I preordered and couldn't care less about 4K.

It's all about the 1080p modes. Supersampling and 60FPS is far more important to me than 4K.

Price is now £369.99

​Ah right. I'm guessing this is done in store? Personally never realised they also have high street stores, but after checking it seems as if they're all located in the north. Unlucky for me I suppose, but it does seem very decent of them to allow trade-in credit to purchase other giftcards.

Pardon me if this sound strong but you dont know what you are talking about, you should do some research before making such a bold statement.

First Pro has double the performance than vanilla ps4, 1.8 compare to 4.1 teraflops. even without 4K TV, Most games can run 60fps instead of the 30 fps, and or a visual enhanced mode with all graphic setting turn up., with limited game running at native 4K such as Last of us, Nioh. so not just "paying for upscaling"

and " limited amount of 4K content out"? if you talking about game then there is 30 game launch with pro patch, and 45 more game by the end of the year.

Even if its upscaled 4K, it will looks much nicer on a 4K than native 1080p ever will, so this is a model to go for if you have 4K TV

I already have a standard PS4, so rather then upgrade to the Pro I'm waiting for the Xbox Scorpio. Seems the best option for me.

I think Amazon Black Friday is only good if you want an Amazon product like a Kindle or Firestick. I personally wouldn't hold off on a good deal in the hope that Black Friday will being a better deal.

Yes. Go to Grainger and ask to price match with CEX (as they usually offer a better rate). Then use the trade-in price to purchase amazon giftcards which are sold via Grainger.

The PRO is SOOO not worth the extra money for what it can offer. Basically just paying for upscaling (due to the limited amount of 4K content out)

just checked. holy **** they work fast lol

~Expired

Shopto might pricematch this

Yes, they don't price match for a single second longer than they have to, I've noticed that too.

And as predicted they have put the bundle price back up too, £369.99 now so it is significantly more than the console only option. Was a very good price while it lasted but wouldn't recommend it at £370 with black frdiay right around the corner...

I'm not sure this has been confirmed yet. I'd also question whether the Pro could even run all the games at a solid 60fps anyway.

Negatives aside, I really hope Sony does well with the Pro - an iterative update to the underpowered PS4 at what seems like a decent price may just work.

​Bit confused. Are you saying that it is possible to purchase Amazon vouchers/giftcards using Grainger Games credit?

Amazon seems pretty sly, as soon as Tesco sold out the pro, amazon rise the price back to £350. if anyone is getting this bundle they should do it soon, it probably will have price increase soon


you can expect future game and most game out now to have 3 mode, 4K mode, 1080p 60fps mode,and 1080p 30fps ultra setting mode, so yes there is great benefit

There will be better deals in a few weeks time so going to hold out

yes better and stable frame rates, those that get patched will have 60fps at 1080p

I had the Pro on pre-order for £332 from Amazon, so have cancelled and ordered the above. I won't play Dishonored 2 and will trade with Grainger games immediately and use trade credit to buy amazon vouchers via Grainger. So will effectively turn £20 into £40+, happy days.

I only have a 1080i tv still!
Will I see any benefit from a PS4 pro??

Although that message only seems to come up on the PS4 Pro on it's own, doesn't show on the bundle

I ordered this earlier and my console is showing as due delivery on 14th November. I can wait a few days tbh, but just saw that they're now saying they've sold out for anyone thinking of placing an order - "We have sold through our allocation of PS4 Pro and will not have any more stock before Christmas.Orders will be fulfilled in the order they are placed as soon as we receive further stock. This is likely to be early 2017."

There will be before Xmas, it's just not launching with it. IF anyone is desperate for the FFXV bundle they will have to stick with the slim for now

Gone ahead and placed the order - will take the Game to CEX or Ebay it
Says delivery on the 14th - not too fussed since won't switch it on until I have my new 65" 4k tv installed on the 16th anyway - excited for some uncharted 4 pro 4k action!

Just checked out and it says my console will be delivered on the 14th :-( but the game will be delivered on the 10th

I have the same issue. What is the reason for that? Do you know if it is likely to be updated?

Flog the game to cex.

Thinking I'm gonna have to got for this bundle now - Tesco's out of stock and the none bundle pack price has gone up to 349, not fussed about the game - gonna be my first PS4 of this Gen and have got a bunch of games ready to play through but reckon I could get at least 30 quid on ebay so a good way to buy even if a bit of hassle ebaying the game

Yes, the Console says 11th of Nov and the game says 10th of Nov.

​great to reuse and also not hard to fit in the recycle box every two weeks or use as a recycle box, some ppl eh

​some Tard got a sack hopefully, I pack my Ebay items better haha

Heat

However I am waiting until white variant. Happy with Glacier White PS4 for now.
Would be perfect for Christmas if Sony made the PS4 Pro in Glacier White or something aka Arctic White

Very strange how there is no FFXV bundle /themed console.

on the NUS page it just says


With no option to obtain a new one.

now a FFXV bundle please

Do you have a source for this? I thought it was supposed to be ongoing, didn't know it had a firm end date, needn't have bothered with that nus card. :disappointed:

no amazon student discount with this?

I have also checked with Amazon Chat - he stated the CoD bundle is the only one that is sold out, he assured me this bundle will arrive by the dates specified - I have also noticed the message is there one minute then gone the next.

good price but don't think I want dishonoured 2. So guess am sticking with the £332 amazon for the console

Just been on amazon chat and been told my console has been allocated but I'll believe it when it in my hands

One assumes that doesn't include any new bundles? If a new bundle is released, and you order quick enough i reckon you'll receive on release day

Looks like any new orders will not be getting them on launch day...

"We have sold through our allocation of PS4 Pro and will not have any more stock before Christmas.

Orders will be fulfilled in the order they are placed as soon as we receive further stock. This is likely to be early 2017."

It only says that on the vanilla Pro order, not the Dishonored 2 bundle, I'd prepare for disappointment anyway seeing as it's Amazon.

Happy to help :smiley: Happened to me when they dropped the price of COD, I had to cancel and then reorder to get the lower price

Guess it's proving more popular than I expected. I can see why they have reduced the price of the base system and this bundle as people will need some incentive to wait two months plus for it....

AH WAIT. Thanks for turning on the lightbulb in my brain! Completely forgot I'd already pre-ordered Dishonored 2 separately. Thanks :smiley:

black Friday is only three weeks away.... fingers crossed on some good bundles.

Anyone else getting an error saying "We're sorry. This item has a limited purchase quantity"? Won't let me add the bundle to my basket. 

Strange it let me add another to my basket even though I've already ordered have you tried another browser

I'm only putting one in the basket so not sure why it thinks that.

Everything I have received from Amazon has been well packed though I think they may have started using less packaging lately as there was some stupid fuss a few months back about them overpackaging, which is always a very GOOD thing IMHO and not really a waste as I think most of the materials they use are recycled anyway and it's great to reuse if you sell a bit yourself.

Best price, only pro deal I've seen. Have some heat. Good buy for those looking to purchase this.

Hope Tesco come up with a similar deal, I have converted club card points burning a hole in my pocket :laughing:

Have some heat

It happened to a few people who got it, it must of been Amazon's fault as they gave refund without a hitch and they didn't pack well at all,hell they didn't even pack it, it just came unpacked and bashed

​Not good, never had a problem with delivery!! I got my fiver cause they cancelled my order and blamed me, it was 50% off a Lego set which went up £20 after cancelled ! Each chat log after said it was them and wouldnt set the order back up because it was a 2 month lead time!!

I was a surprised as anyone it was bashed to hell and disc were smashed

Heat added just changed my console order for this bundle, if dishonoured 2 is half as good as the first its a steal for £20, if not I can sell it and make my money back if not more

Sent star trek anniversary boxset back which came bashed to hell so got 120 plus 30 for the inconvenience from amazon sold my old ps4 before the price plummets and got 180, so only have 32.49 to pay which for me is better than waiting for deal that might not turn up and if I waited till black Friday I would get a lot less for my old console

Heat, not my cup of tea but good price and very encouraging. Recently sold ps4 for £200 and waiting on a good pro deal

Thought that the £2.00 Prime discount was on all video game pre-orders but it's missing from this. Suppose it's not eligible for video game electricals.

best deal around so why would anyone vote cold
