Nothing wrong with 499 , The same quality games on PC will always cost twice as much.
PS4 Pro is not a Premium console, it is not a 4K console, it uses techniques to achieve this fake 4K quality in games. True 4K obviously cost more than just 400.
If you spend 1000 (or even more) for a new 4K TV, Pro lets you use only 70% of the new TVs capabilities, because it can't upscale high enough (to native 4K).. you waste your money basically even more if you are decided to buy this combo. Next year, you will feel that you are cheated by Sony and there is only one thing to do, sell everything or buy an Xbox Scorpio. The choice is obvious.
Using Pro on a FHD TV is complete waste, even if the price of the console is only 400, you still waste that money.

Resolution should be responsible for jaggies or AA. Game can use the same textures/visuals but the edges of the object is not that clear. 1080p vs 720p:

The cake is a lie, as much as true 4K on this system. I hope they do not recommend you a 4K TV, so you can use only a 70% of the new TVs capabilities .. 30% would be down the drain.
TVs are 4K, consoles do not so far. Maybe it will change by the end of next year, we'll see .. like in the 60's, when Lamborghini showed how to do a proper sports car .
Then Pro should cost 299€ by the end of 2017, because +100 is completely acceptable, if the system is 30% faster and has a 4K drive inside. I'm quite sure, prices will start at 500..
No they ruined the Titans part, they are slow, weapons suck, no dash basically, you cannot choose weapons like in 1. For me it is a mess. Everything is forced now (pre build).
