PS4 vs PS4 Slim vs PS4 Pro

       One of the biggest question going around in the gaming community is do I upgrade my system? Microsoft just launched the Xbox One S which is slimmer than the original Xbox One and supports 4K, well on the other side of the gaming world PlayStation has not only one console launching but two. So PlayStation has launched the PS4 slim and PS4 Pro that will go on sale in November, so here the big question. Is it worth going out and upgrading to the new PS4 line? Well let's start with the PS4 slim, there not really much to the PS4 slim compared to the original PS4. First off they are both a standard 500gb model in storage space with the option to get a 1tb model, both units have the same CPU and 8gb DDR5 ram. The only real difference between the two is that the PS4 slim is smaller than the PS4, how much smaller you ask? Well your looking about 1 - 1 1/2 inch difference in size and slightly lighter than the original PS4. Not really much of a incentive to go out and replace your PS4 just yet, now let's talk about the PS4 Pro. So this bad boy is running the same CPU and 8gb DDR5 ram as the other two PS4 models, but there a difference with the CPU speed which is over clocked on the PS4 Pro to a whopping 2.1GHz compared to the standard 1.6 GHz. Now here the biggest difference in the systems, the PS4 Pro is rocking a GPU that's capable of a blazing 4.20 teraflops compared to the 1.84 teraflops of the PS4 & PS4 Slim.  What does that mean??? With  that upgraded GPU your going to have much better graphic during game play and also the PS4 Pro has 4K HDR. Now the storage will be a standard 1tb on the PS4 Pro and is about 2 inches bigger in length and width than the standard PS4 and heavier in weight, also the PS4 will be equipped with 3 USB port and 1 in the back unlike the other two models with 2 USB ports in the front and 1 in the back. So now let's get down to the pricing on the two units, the PS4 slim will be going for $299.99 while the PS4 Pro will start out at $399.99, but with Christmas around the corner I be looking out for gaming bundles on both models. As you can see not really a big incentives to go out and replace your PS4 with a PS4 slim and only reason to buy the PS4 Pro is if your TV supports 4K. Now if they come out with a killer bundle on the PS4 Pro like an Resident Evil bundle I'll go out and get one since i do have a 4K TV. Let me know if your planning on upgrading or getting one of the new PS4 in the comments below!
