So if I want that sweet 4k goodness, I'll need a pro with a 4k TV. But if the pro doesn't have a 4k drive, does that mean I need to buy digital versions of games for them to run in 4k?

My PS4 Pro has been randomly shutting sometimes after a few hours of gameplay, I assume overheating. I just tried my luck with support chat and they told me to back up my data and re-initialize. Anyone know any support hacks I can use to get this thing RMA'ed that are faster than waiting a couple days and lying about doing a bunch of stupid busywork?

when my ps4 had the eject glitch i wasn't asked any questions i just said it was broken on the form and sent it in and got a new one in 2 weeks.

just make a warranty claim and they will send you the shipping box. they will put yours on the pile of ones to canabalize for refurb parts and send you a working refurb

I don't have pro yet but I plan on getting one sometime next year -- probably when Horizon comes out if it's good. Does this TV seem like it's worth this price?

Helim needed to be invisible.
KU6300 supports HDR input but the panel can't actually display the full HDR color gamut from what I've read, so the image would be compromised. Going to have to unhelpfully echo the KS8000 (KS7000 in Europe) recommendation.

More helpful edit: If you're just looking for 4k resolution gaming, the KU6300 is probably a good choice considering price and input lag etc. It'll handle the "increased peak brightness" aspect of HDR just fine, but you won't get much in the way of additional color depth.

I'm looking to spend around 550ish dollars -- is there anything you guys can recommend around the price? Sadly the ks6000 is about double what I can spend right now.

Would this question be better served in the TV thread?

Thanks for the tip. All their warranty stuff says in big red text that they need an itemized receipt but I didn't keep it, so I guess I'll try going to Target and getting them to look mine up by my credit card and print a copy. I'm a week past Target's 30 day exchange window or else this would be way easier :(

You could try there, but "real" HDR is a high end feature with matching price tag and that isn't likely to change by March.

The only 43" that does an OK job with HDR and not terrible lag is the Sony, goes for $650 currently.

But again unless you have a real burning need just wait. Not that long until CES and news model announcements. This stuff is all in its infancy, and it's a minefield buying a TV right now.

A minefield, where almost the only good choice (but requires some cash) is going to be the KS7000/KS8000 (though the LG oled would be the only thing superior right now). Anything else is going to be obsoleted really quickly.

You should try talking to the customer service desk and see if they might let you exchange it anyways. Target is generally pretty lenient about returns as long as you aren't abusing it.

From my research a month or so ago, unless you're willing to go over $1,000 (more like $1,500), 4K HDR TVs are largely undeveloped and it's gonna take a couple of years for their prices to be realistic. You'd probably be better off finding a higher quality 1080p set if you need to buy now.

Looking for some recommendations. Just got a ps4 for the birthday, and exchanging a game that I doubled up on in gifts. I've got FFXV, Uncharted 4 and Rocket League. Where would that exchange be best spent? I'm considering Titanfall 2, got an itch for a shooter that isn't BF1 or maybe Watchdogs 2. Suggestions?

If you like shooting people you would be doing yourself a disservice not getting Titanfall

If you just want a shooter seriously play Doom. The MP is mediocre but the campaign is awesome and you get to play arcade mode to keep you busy afterwards. Snapmap is cool if you like custom stuff too.

Didn't Portal 2 have a "Press R1 to shoot" moment right at the end? Or am I making that up? I think I remember it would do that if you purposefully left it long enough, which makes sense considering the rest of its idiotproof design.

You have to leave it for a LONG time, meaning you ignored or didn't pick up on the many, many non-explicit signs that you should shoot.

It's possible the PS4 Pro has a specific problem, but some games just punish your console more than others. I remember TLOU doing that to my PS3 as literally the only game. No idea what it is about their games. Obviously this is not acceptable for a new console, but try to see if it's specific to "intensive" games or a general problem with your console.

Yeah, the moment is set up with a lot of buildup leading to it, so you should easily figure out what it wants. A big part of the story is about using moon rock dust to make the portal-conductive surfaces, so seeing that hole in the roof with a clean shot to that nice full moon in the sky should be an easy "Oh. OHHH, YES" :science: moment.

It's the capacitive eject button building static over time. Turn the PS4 off instead of Rest Mode.

5 minutes into the game? Use the elemancy menu to take the elements you've collected from nodes on the map, combine them with an item, and that will craft spells you equip in one of your weapon slots.

"Magic" is basically grenades in FF15
