4K HDR gaming, faster operating speed, well supported with enhanced games at launch, provides better experience for PS VR gamers too
A beast in looks and size, no 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray playback, only a 1TB HDD which will fill rapidly
Caveats aside, there is absolutely no doubt that the PlayStation 4 Pro is the best games console we've ever seen. Its graphical nous is unparalleled in the home machine market – only PC gamers can boast better – and developers are seemingly more than happ...

Has PlayStation 4 Pro managed to live up to its marketing? By and large, yes. At its best, it is capable of producing compelling results at native 4K. Stack up Rise of the Tomb Raider on Pro against an ultra high-end PC and run them side-by-side and you'l...
