Hey Guys,
Saw this deal floating around a Facebook group and thought I would forward it through.
Not sure if has already been included in a sub post but thought the price was pretty good.
If you are a casual gamer, then no.. I splashed the dough for a Pro and besides the 4k feature on some games a standard slim 1tb will serve you just as well :)
The PS4 Pro will probably be more future proof, unto you thou
I'd recommend a Pro, but if not then I'd recommend looking for a second had original. Should be able to get a 500gb one for around $200. Spend the money you save from a slim on a bigger harddrive and games.
I got the slim, non-pro model, I don't have a 4k tv and I'm only playing sony exclusives on it (multplats go on pc). It doesn't really make sense for me to have the Pro unless I had heaps of cash but it really depends on your personal circumstances.
I bought the non-s xbox with the view I would never get a 4k tv. 2 weeks later - 4k tv for $300. Lesson - get the pro.
thanks peeps, considering I still use my PS3 here and there I'll prob go for the Pro to future proof it.
Also the Hisense 75" might be on the horizon as well so hopefully 4K features will be in good use (and if I can tell the differences)
Yeah, if you can swing the extra $150 for a Pro I'd get that.
This is a pretty good deal on the OG PS4, though. Uncharted 4 is fantastic.
I recently went the 500gb slim due to cheap prices but cannot shake feeling that I should have went the Pro. Improvements over the slim should get better over time.
What FB group is that?
PS4 Users Australia, something along those lines :)
Yes the Pro is worth it but buy it @ ebay as its got 10% discount at the moment.

Agree although it is $130 more expensive with out the game.
But it has 1Tb HDD and a lot more powerful with 4.2 teraflops compare 1.8 of original.
The reason you don't see much different in games NOW due to they were designed to run on the original PS4. I believe there will be better graphic games coming for the pro.
Not to mention I got the pro for less than $400 lalala.
How?
He bought the console bundle and return the games to the store to get a credit…..the benefits of reading in ozbargain forum
Great, now that you've validated this listing we can all rest easy now….. -_-
Wow, cheers hell0. Didn't know this was a poor post.
I am here to help.
Yeeaaahh right.
I still have the voucher for the PS4 Pro from MyRepublic. Anyone interested.. pm me. :)
I've seen my republic ads for 100mb NbN for like 60$ a month. How would you rate them as an isp?
I was gonna Pm you but I can't (new member?). For the price can't complain, consistently getting 45-50 mbps down, 25-35 mbps up and it's unlimited. Enough for my needs. For me, it's worth it for $60 a month.
Terrible customer service. Waiting times arts about 60 minutes
Didn't have to call them so I haven't experienced that.
Voucher is gone. No more PMs please.
Pro price should drop as soon as the Scorpio gets close to release later in the year
May even be an updated model by then without all the glitches, as well as the Pro software update to end the restriction of power
What Glitches ?
Is this Australia wide, my nearest Big W is Chullora, have no time to visit until Thursday.
Blank screens, loss of audio, overheating playing 4k games
Of course most of which is probably down to software specific to the Pro, and burn in of the console, but the overheating is an issue
Just don't expect them to last 5-10 years like the old ps3
Overheating is an issue for the PS3 too, well mostly the older models. The Yellow light of death they called it.
is this deal still available? and bigw chullora has
it? wanted to stop by chullora this weekend
Website still has it listed for this price, I believe I read it ending on the 8th of March :)
Buying my first PS4, worth springing some extra dough for the Pro?
Casual gamer, not too sure about VR as well (nowhere to demo one)
