Leave it to the Pro
Stuff UK|January 2017

It may lack the Xbox One S’s 4K Blu-ray drive, but does the sheer power of the PlayStation 4 Pro make it a must-buy for the console gamer who wants the best?

Leave it to the Pro

Let’s face it – the PS4 is basically a gaming PC in a console-sized box. And as any PC gamer will tell you, the creeping urge to update grows stronger over time. It’ll happen to Microsoft next year with Project Scorpio, but Sony’s already there – and the PS4 Pro is that upgrade.

Substantial hardware updates under the hood include a faster CPU, a more powerful graphics chip and extra memory for game developers to play with. The PS4 Pro is much more powerful than the standard console, outputting games at higher resolutions, at faster frame rates, and with more detail than before.

HOW CHEAP IS YOUR LOVE?

‘Affordable’ is very much a relative term. To a billionaire, building a champagne-fuelled rocket out 24-carat gold, filling it with diamonds the size of Yorkshire puddings and blasting it into outer space just for something to do is affordable; but to the rest of us, a couple of hundred quid can bust the budget.
