This is towards the people who keep complaining. The PS4 Pro is a game machine. Why is that hard to understand? "Oh no it doesn't have a 4k UHD player in it, I don't want it." Okay then go play Xbox One S, but understand that it only comes with a 4k player extra with no really improvement towards the games enhancement towards 4k displays. A first grade Blu-ray player took the PS3 from $399.99 to $599.99, not the PS2 chip at $20 to play PSONE and PS2 games. The Blu-ray player at the time was the most expensive piece of hardware in the PlayStation 3. Any person who followed the PlayStation 3 released with crazy intent on buying one to know all the information could tell you that. This is why the PS3 was so expensive at launch because Sony didn't want to put a half-assed Blu-ray player in it, they wanted the community to have a player that would stand the test of time, which is why they chose their best to put in it. The PS3 should have cost $999.99 to make up for this decision and it hurt the company to do this in the beginning because the competition was cheaper, HD DVD was a competitor and was cheaper and most people didn't want to commit to something until they knew where technology would go.
The same could be said with PS4 Pro. Sony doesn't want to have to force their community of PlayStation gamers to have to pay the crazy amount that PlayStation 3 was on its initial release. Sony knew that if they went with their best 4K UHD Blu-ray player that the cost of what they would have to charge consumers would be greater than what it is currently. Also Sony is one that has always been go big or go home. This time for them having the go big they have learn from their lesson in the past. So I'm sure that whenever PlayStation 5 comes out and it'll have a 4K UHD Blu-ray player in it because the price of them will have gone down; instead of putting one in it that is brand new technology as of this year which would have skyrocketed cost.
From the standpoint of understanding that and getting your head out of your ass and stop being selfish and thinking that you have to have everything why don't you just be happy for what you get. If a 4K Blu-ray player really matters to you all that much then go play Xbox One S as stated above. No one is holding a gun to your head.
Otherwise heck yes I am purchasing a PlayStation 4 Pro with all of my saved points that I've saved up for launch day. So yes in my opinion I do believe that the PlayStation 4 Pro for $399. 99 is worth it. One more thing, they put in a top of the line, I'm sure of, upscale player to enhance all your viewing means for Blu-rays, so these disc and digital films will take advantage of 4K HDR tvs. Sure it's not as great as a $399.99 UHD player but it is better than paying for a $599.99 PS4 Pro. Why don't you go out there and actually do some research instead of reading the specs and then complaining. If people would actually listen to what the developers tell them and comprehend it maybe there would be less complaints.
