But a fair warning — it will delete your folders, or at least most of them. It totally messed up all my folders. I think a couple of the folders remained, but they didn’t have the same games and apps in them and it required a complete redo of how I had my folders set up. But the save files, games, apps, screenshots, ...it all stays there. You just have to spend 30 min. reworking how you want them to be organized.
And that is the main reason why I haven’t done it again, and it’s probably been 6 months. I dread having to redo the folders.
Not any more, it doesn't.
I rebuilt the database on my PS4 Pro at the beginning of the year and you're right, it deleted all of my folders then, but I subsequently rebuilt it a couple weeks ago and they remained intact, with everything in the right order within them, too. Perhaps that's a feature on PS4 Pro only ...
That’s good to hear. Maybe I’ll try it this weekend and report. I only have about 5 folders, but each one is meticulously organized with anywhere from 5-20 apps and games so that I can know where I am at a glance. The cross-bar system of the PS4 does not really make things easy to navigate when you have over about 20 games on there.

Disc-Based Videogames and Downloaded Videogames (each in alphabetical order) and then Media (the Capture Gallery, Headset Companion App, SHAREfactory and whatever the place they keep YouTube in is called this week) and a Reject Bin, which is where I shove everything else I never use, like the web browser, Spotify, The Playroom and all that other junk.
I loved the day they integrated folders. I just wish that they stayed in order left-to-right and didn't bring the folder containing the last-used game or app to the fore.

@KratosMD So true. I’m in the same boat. Spider-Man, Shadow of the TR, Red Dead 2, and simultaneously try to circle back to finish Persona 5 and Yakuza 0 ... and many, many more. It’s so difficult to prioritize with so many great games.
I went to pick up Spider-Man today and browsed the games and saw about 4 or 5 I wanted to buy and I exercised restraint and just picked up Spider-Man, paid off my Tomb Raider preorder, and hightailed it outta there before I added any more to my backlog.

After reading a review for Divinity: Original Sin 2 my desire to play just went through the roof. I need to play other games first, but it became a must play at some point after reading it. The game just sounds amazing with the freedom if offers, much more so than most WRPGs. I love it when I can be bad guy too in games. A classic D&D experiences in the narrative department is always a good thing.
Sorry but that could come off as advertising besides that's kinda bad including a link to another gaming site. Thanks for understanding-Tasuki-
Well this is annoying. I went to play Destiny 2 just now and I get an error message saying I need the download and install the latest update to play the game. Ok fair enough but my console is set to auto update and I did leave my console in rest mode when I heard of the update earlier in the week.
Go to download the update, I get another error message saying I don't have enough space for 18gb update. I have 70gb free space in my internal hdd? This is damn infuriating when I purposely set it all up so I didn't have to wait for the update to download.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I keep wondering if it's worth it to upgrade to a PS4 Pro. I'd like one, but I recently got a 1TB hard drive for my original model. My biggest complaint with my model is how loud the fan is.
@AdamantiumClaws@KALofKRYPTON The sound your PS4 makes depends mostly on how much dust there is in there. Base PS4's are pretty much impossible to clean without tearing the whole console apart, so I wouldn't recommend that. PS4 Pro's are easier to clean (still not perfect), so it's easier to keep them silent enough.
Aside from that, both have a habit of collecting dust pretty fast.

Simple question: do you have a 4K television, to which you sit close enough to be able to distinguish actual 4K resolution from just a really decent HD image?
If so, it's worth it. If not, don't bother, especially with your new HDD for your current console.
As much as I adore my Pro, I sometimes have to lean forward to get that "wow" factor from the image everybody talks about. Beyond that, I can't say that I've noticed any day-to-day massive difference since upgrading both my console and my television.

This is relieving to hear. No, I don't have a 4K television I don't think. Is anything else different about the Pro? Like the menu screen or anything?
@AdamantiumClaws Um... the console's a different shape? In all honesty, not really, no. Same interface, same everything, really. I'm sure there are a wealth of technical details that freeze-frame analysis could reveal but, to the average player, it'd just be the 4K output (which not every game supports, and which is only visible on a 4K screen).
Otherwise, being totally honest, the ever-so-slight performance enhancements I've seen haven't had any real impact on my enjoyment of any given game. Many of them I didn't even notice; I only know I missed them because I had to have them pointed out to me by Digital Foundry videos.

Digimon Survive is currently 30% complete, will have '3 routes' (potential for another bonus route), characters will live or die depending on in-game choices and will feature just over 100 digimons.
The number of digimon is somewhat disappointing given Cyber Sleuth had ~250, but I guess they have budget constraints.
