Cant lie, even though I have he Pro on preorder with amazon, I stopped by the local Walmart on the way home yesterday. The hype is real.

darthv723494d ago

Hmm... I figured there would be a middle ground option for 1440p (QHD) for those who have sets that support that resolution. Maybe it will be supported later (if at all).

kevnb3493d ago

Not sure I've seen a TV that does 1440p.

Utalkin2me3494d ago

It's how i got mine early =).

MasterCornholio3494d ago

Congratulations.

Enjoy your new console.

:)

blady_man3494d ago

Ur so lucky, all i manage is to talk the guy in my local independent games shop to give it to me 1 day before, which is when they get it!!

Juiceid3494d ago

That was funny, although many didn't agree it seems!

marioJP873493d ago

Pretty much ... though I'm still getting one soon. I appreciate laughter and humor and your comment definitely made me laugh ... and I'm a hardcore Sony owner.

kevnb3493d ago

You need the Sega cd as well :)

Juiceid3494d ago

Just visited a walmart In illinois and they had them!

What's the difference between Yuv420 and RGB? Thanks

tablav3493d ago (Edited 3493d ago )

In very basic terms, they are different ways for the system to interpret and display colour. YUV comes in many flavours (4:2:0 / 4:2:2 etc), whereas RGB is 4:4:4. This is known as chroma subsampling. which basically means that it's a way to send less colour information and therefore reduce the bandwidth needed for the image without visually compromising on image quality. 4:2:2, for example, is 2 thirds of the bandwidth of 4:4:4.

In RGB, each letter stand for a colour (RED/GREEN/BLUE), however in YUV, some colour information is sent through the Y channel, which carries luminance. It's also worth noting that what the PS4 Pro is referring to isn't actually YUV, but rather Y'CbCr. Traditional YUV is analogue, but obviously the PS4 Pro doesn't have analogue outputs.

This wiki article on Chroma Subsampling is pretty interesting if you don't mind delving into a bit of colour science...enjoy, I guess!!!

According to Pachter, the PS4 Pro sales aren't doing very good. Maybe drop the price $50 and bundle in a game since Xbox One X is coming?

thatguyhayat3264d ago

Patcher baffles himself sometimes. Ps4 pro is doing really well

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen3264d ago

Agreed. If 1 in 4 PS4's being sold is a Pro anything Pachter says about PS4 Pro sales numbers should be completely ignored.

bigmalky3264d ago

You can buy a PS4 Pro, with Horizon and Wipeout for £350 in the UK at the minute. Basically, you're getting the console for £280... I'd say that's a bargain. Why do people keep asking for another £50/$50 off when plenty of places do bundle deals with great prices?

Ju3264d ago

I have the feeling there is a price cut coming for the holidays.

LamerTamer3264d ago

They will have a hard time with X1X out.

bigmalky3264d ago

No they won't. Most parents will probably go for the cheaper option for Christmas presents. Most gamers that were waiting for a price for XoX, unless they're die hard Microsoft fans or spec junkies, will see that Sony have a cheaper option with huge exclusives coming in the new year, along with third party titles that will probably look little different to their XoX counterparts.

It's amazing how biased opinions seem to speak for the entire gaming population, instead of looking at people as beings that can, and will, use logic.

Petebloodyonion3264d ago

Most parents will go for the basic version of Ps4 or Xbox1 instead of a pro or X1X.
Most parents will ask if it's play COD, FIFA or GTA since theses are the biggest sellers on both platforms.
Most parents don't have freaking clues about the exclusives coming on Xbox or PS4 just like you probably don't have a clue about exclusive deals coming on Apple music.

It's amazing how N4G hardcore gamers seem to speak for the entire gaming population, instead of looking at people as beings that can, and will, follow the herd of COD/ GTA/ FiFA.

bigmalky3264d ago (Edited 3264d ago )

@Petebloodyonion

If you read my post properly, you'll see that I said parents will go for the cheaper console. I never even mentioned whether that's the upgraded models or not.

As for the games, it was in regard to gamers wanting a console, not the parents. Totally different sentence and subject.

It's amazing how people would actually look less like idiots if they actually read an entire post, before jumping on someone's comments.

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen3264d ago

If Sony drops the price of the Pro and it's $150 cheaper than the $500, checkerboarding beast, the only thing Sony will have a hard time doing is shipping Pro's to retailers.

bigmalky3264d ago

They don't need to drop the price. You can buy a Pro with one or two games in a package for £100 cheaper than an XoX with nothing on it's release.

LIGATURE3264d ago

I love ps4 but if the x gives all the multiplat games at least 1080/60 and update past multiplat games then id go for the x.but id get a switch before ither😂
