I really just bought this because my old Ps4 was overheating and running extremely loud so it was just time to replace in my mind. I do have a 9500 series 55'' 4k HDR Samsung and the difference in quality with the games being supported is noticeable and amazing. NBA 2k17, Rise of the Tomb Raider, TLOU Remastered, and even The Elder Scrolls Online look fantastic. Really looking forward to playing Final Fantasy XV and Horizon Zero Dawn on the Ps4 Pro and if you have a quality 4k tv I would recommend the Ps4 Pro even if you already have a regular Ps4. Now if you don't have a 4k tv I would hold off unless this is you're first Ps4 then this is a much better buy then the ps4 slim.

Well I've had a ps4 coming up on three years but really wanted Gears 4 so ended up getting the gears 4 X One s and I loved the kontrol freek grips with my ps4 controllers but I did notice the way the Ds4 is designed they scrap against certain parts of the controller and fall off sometimes. This problem doesn't exist with the X-1 controller thankfully and I absolutely love the way they feel.
So in short it seems like kontrol freek extenders are better designed for the Xbox 1 controller than the Ps4.

Keep the action going with the Xbox One Play & Charge Kit. Recharge while you play or afterwards, even when your Xbox is in standby. The long-lasting rechargeable battery fully charges in under 4 hours. Say goodbye to disposable batteries and having to swap them out in the middle of a game.

This works great and holds a long charge even with my Astro a40 tr headset with the M80 amp plugged in the battery will last at least 16 to 18 hours which is better then I thought I would get since the M80 amp zaps that battery life on any other battery I tried. Charges quickly and easily as well.

Even though I have final fantasy X in my top ten favorite games of all time I still really loved X-2 as well. FF X is one of the best rpg games ever I think X-2 it fantastic as well.

Absolutely love the new Xbox one s. Gears 4 is everything I hoped it would be and more and the Xbox one s gears 4 edition is a awesome looking console. I also used the 4k bluray player to watch mad max fury road and deadpool which both looked incredible on my 4k samsung. Great buy if you don't have an xbox yet or if you're in the market for an affordable 4k bluray player. The one negative I hear about the console is it doesn't support 7.1 surround sound or dolby atmos which doesn't effect me since I just have a 5.1 sound bar and a subwoofer.

These sound better then the ps gold headset at least to me but after owning them for a little less then six months the plastic on the left earpiece just broke while I was wearing them.
I sent them it to TB for repair but somehow they were lost in the mail and I never got the replacement pair from TB.
Just bought a pair of Asto A50 and despite costing $220 on sale totally worth the money.

We've all been there — you have positioned yourself perfectly and can hear the enemy soldier running down the street. As he approaches, you plan to jump out and ambush him in a hail of gunfire to finish off this round with a victory for your team. Just as he's about to meet you, you emerge from your hiding spot and take aim. Then, your thumb slips off the stick as you fire, sending bullets flying above and to the left of your enemy, as he returns fire and ends the round.Jump into battle with the precision and accuracy you need to thrive. These KontrolFreek FPS Freek controller grips attach to the thumbsticks of your PlayStation 4 controller to provide a sure grasp for improved in-game performance. Easily fend off foes, vanquish villains and more with the help of these grips. The licensed Call of Duty: Black Ops III design provides a cool look, so you can display your fandom. Get ready to dominate the battlefield with the help of these FPS Freek controller grips.

Become the ultimate hunter in Bloodborne for PlayStation 4. This intense and atmospheric third-person action game features fast-paced strategic combat that tests your wits and reflexes against monstrous enemies in a ruined world. Fight terrifying bosses, explore intricate levels and discover secrets as you try to unravel the mysteries of the Bloodborne world.
Posted by: Cmac3000
I own basically every game thats worth owning and so far since the ps4 launch I really think this is overall the best. The only thing people can complain about would be it's not very easy to get into and learn the combat if you never played the souls series which wasn't the case for me this being the fist From Software title I've ever played and the combat is great, very challenging but great and very fun. The world of Bloodborne is just stunning. The frame-rate does drop at times but never anything major. All in all i'd give this a solid 9.5 out of 10 because the story is bizarre but in a wonderful way, the boss battles are some of the most intense I've ever played on an action rpg and the combat is excellent. Best game of the year so far

5 out of 5RPG of The Year!
By TuxedoMask
The race for best RPG of 2015 is over! The Witcher 3 is one best video games I have ever played. Lush graphics, a gripping open world, exciting easy to learn combat & a too cool for school protagonist are just a few of this games great attributes. It also has to be said the story is definitely adult. Good & evil are not always clearly defined, there are shades of grey. You must decide for yourself the best path to walk. Truly one of my all time favorites! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I would give this the slight bump over Bloodbore just because this game is so massive and beautiful and just has so much to do in it. I mean I even like the card game in the witcher which is just awesome when developers make mini games actually fun to play and add to the game. But Bloodborne is also an amazing game I just think the difficulty turns some people away.

Known by many names — the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, Batman — this man lives to protect.

One after another, a new and nefarious threat has risen up and one after another Batman succeeded in bringing them down. But what happens when those menacing masterminds join forces? Who will rescue Gotham when a deadly roster of depraved lunatics gangs up on the shadowed warrior? Who will save us all?The finale to the legendary Arkham series explodes onto your screen in the most adrenaline-pumping storyline yet.

Why did you review the game before it even came out? I mean I have this preorder and I'm sure it's a 5 out of 5 just wait to review games until you have played it and can tell us why it's such a great game or maybe even talk about some of the things in the game that bothered you.

Don't fall for bungies marketing this game is nothing less than a good marketing campaign. If you've played destiny before you know how much time you will have to grind grind grind grind and then grind some more for absolutely nothing. Seriously there's better games coming out is November like black ops 3 and battle front that deserve your playing time, bungie does not deserve you time or money. The end.

I guess you don't play to much PvP in destiny which is the real endgame. Sure the raids are fun and so is the game but the crucible, iron banner, and trials of osiris is where bungie shines. I mean it's Bungie there know more for there online FPS PvP then anything else. Halo was a game changer for fps competitive multiplayer on consoles.

- expensive: these are well designed small plastic add on. I feel that these are over-priced. so they could include 2 sets in one box.
- once you get used to these, its really tough to play without these attachments
- sometimes thumbs hurts, but that could be just due to playing for hours and not because of these add-ons

These KontrolFreek extenders just came out less than a month ago. You must be talking about a different model cause these have definitely not been out ten months. The orange black ops III pair may have been out that long but not this pair.

I don't write reviews ever but here go's it. I bought this headset on Best Buy website online. The color is strange gray with no black on it, I wanted a black headset nothing like picture. My 60 dollar triton sounds as good or better. Also, they dropped the price a day after I bought mine. Avoid this and get something newer or cheaper. Should be priced at 69.99

Without the mix amp pro astros aren't that great but with one there the best gaming headset out there. If you still have this pair save up the $120 for the mix amp or if you already have the money I would recommend buying one it makes they sound a thousand times better.

By PS4player
The headset sounds great, although there seems to be a split second of delay.
After less than six months of light to average use, the plastic on the left side of the headset completely snapped. Customer service for Turtle Beach is horrible, so I recommend the Best Buy warranty for when the headset breaks.

2 out of 5Disappointed in the Astro A50 Wireless Headset
By FANTZTK
I bought the Astro Gaming A50 wireless gaming headset for my PS4. I read many reviews and did a ton of research before purchasing this wireless gaming headset. It seemed from what I read that it was hit or miss because of the mixed reviews out there. I purchased the headset and went thru the setup process and everything was great. The quality of the headset was excellent! It was even comfortable on the head and ears. I was disappointed when I turned on the headset to hear a buzzing noise in the right ear. It was very annoying and even noticeable during game play. Other then the buzzing noise this an amazing product. I returned the headset the next day and got a refund. Whenever, the company Astro releases a new version of this wireless headset with this problem fixed, I will be one of the first people to buy it! If you are in the market for a wireless gaming headset, I would pass on this one.

You need to download the firmware update it sounds like. G The update addresses that issue along with other one but that buzzing is the worst bug on the headset but when the firmware id dowloaded properly this is one of the best gaming headsets on the market.

Can I simply swap out my HDD in my PS4 and put it in the Pro and go from there? I have a 2 TB in my PS4
No you have to do the same process you did when you put the 2tb HDD in you're current Ps4. So you have to wipe the memory in safe mode, recover you're account, then download all you're games and apps again. Took me about 36 hours to get it done since I had a 2tb HDD in my Ps4 as well with about 1.1tb of data to download. Yes it's a hassle but the Ps4 Pro is a great buy if you have a 4k HDR tv. The games that support the tech so far look amazing.

what's the difference between turtle beach ear force stealth 500p wireless dts headset and the premium headset?
Well a premium gaming headset like a pair of Astros provide much better overall sound with thunderous bass and clear audio. Also the Astros or the premium TB headset are far more durable. I owed the TB 500p headset for about 7 months then the cheap plastic frame broke on the left earpiece.
With that said the headset sounds good not great but the plastic that they are made out of is cheap and in my experience with them they will not last more than a year or two if you're lucky.
