I dont have a 4k tv. Just a normal 27 inch monitor. Is there any way to make it possible to use the digital optical output for speakers? Or do i really need to use home theater system

Guys, i plan to buy hOme theatre for my house but thinking to get PS4 instead since it can play DVD and connect with external harddisk. Is this OK? Worried that later after buy but PS4 cannot be configured.

Hey guys my storage space ran out and planning to get an external drive. Any brands you guys recommend and what the ideal space i should get so i don't regret it later? Any vendors on lowyat selling at good price? Thanks in advance.

the current firmware supports up to 8tb external hdd , or do you still prefer upgrading your internal hdd ? if so i would suggest seagate backup plus slim 2tb external hdd ( you need to open up the case and swap with your current internal hdd )

Just my 2 cents.
PS4 at the moment is enjoying the throne for console gaming. They have 4k capability, great game lists, amazing gpu/cpu architecture. I don't see the need to push for PS5 when all the best technology is readily available. Of course there's plenty of new concept or existing ones that can be developed further, such as VR, AR, but its kinda risky to ditch the PS4 for something less enticing. 8k? perhaps, but how many has 8K tv? Its my hunch that Playstation might look into their handheld first instead of the console.

hi guys, plan to get ps4 pro soon, malaysia set region should be R3,right? if i buy R2 games, can I play on it? If playable, any diff?

Unfortunately your 2 cents is kinda off.

Great games, hell yes.
4k capability, not really... Sort of, not really.
Amazing GPU/CPU architecture? This has gotta be a joke. The CPU in the PS4 is a glorified tablet CPU. It's been the weakest sauce in the entire system, it's slow and has no headroom whatsoever. The GPU is fairly average, but no where near great.

Why would ditching the PS4 mean that the PS5 is less enticing? The PS5 isn't going to target 8k, who said it will and how in any logical sense can it even target 8k if it's going to be a $500 box at most?
The PS5 will target 4k gaming at better framerates, it will target a better VR experience, it will target for games to be fluid with Freesync2/VFR. It's entirely enticing to ditch the PS4 for the PS5.


As for everyone else, no need to have knee jerk reactions. It's obvious we are going to hear about PS5 speculations, leaks and bullshitting all throughout the rest of 2017 and basically 2018. But realistically speaking, the PS5 is a late 2019 release.

all PS4 games region free ( doesnt matter from which region ) , the difference would be the DLC ( which is region locked & must according to PSN id region )

thanks, gonna get ff15 r2 since it's cheaper. Don't think I'll have enough time for DLC.

Short answer, yes. The region is mostly related to your PSN account, not your console. Basically, your console can play any region disc.

Not sure if you understand the concept of 2 cent opinion. Of course its off by your standard, hence you have your own 2 cent to share on the matter.
nonetheless, I concur. By itself, the cpu or gpu doesn't look that impressive especially when comparing to the PC market today. But being a console that it is, and able to dish out 60 framerate at 4k res on a cheap budget is impressive still. In short, you can't make a PC equivalent of PS4 for the same price.

8K is just an example. 4K is still in its infancy, and will continue to be the next standard of high-res in 1-2 years more. My point is, there isn't much else a PS5 upgrade can offer apart from techs that are faster/bigger/stronger/cheaper than the existing tech of the PS4. Not to say there isn't any new tech we haven't heard of that might be in the works, they might ditch the standard hard disk in favor of SSD or cloud storage in the future. (just a hunch)

still you need to update your games , if there is an update for it

Just passing through to advertise my sales....thanks

You can have a 2 cent opinion, not saying it's wrong to have it (it's great to have them). But at least make it sound logical, not hypothetical with no basis. It's not off by my standards alone, it's off because you mentioned the CPU to be "great" (when it was barely mediocre back in 2012) and that 8k seems to be the next jump when it wouldn't be. Why metion 8k at all actually?

The CPU does not look impressive at all compared to ANYTHING - period. And... 60fps at 4k? Okay fair enough if you are going to consider 2D platformers and simple 3D sport titles to be essential as 4k60p entertainment.

Simply by the virtue of having VFR support (or Freesync2) with the PS5 is a megaton upgrade. If you don't understand the importance of not having a locked vysnc or an entirely uncapped framerate anymore, then I don't know what else to say.

i dont think you can advertise it here in this thread , how bout here https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4201061

Wow...thanks a lot

from my understanding, i will create multi region account, login to game region account update my games, then i can continue play it on any region with the new updates. Am i correct?

KLCC Sony have a 43" 4K HDR TV with a decent price tag. Budget concern for PS4 PRO owner can be considered.

Are there any differences between internal and external? Like would internal have faster load times? Price wise?

If no difference then I prefer not to open and swap hdd.
